Hey Meanbadger,
First I notice you have been listening to Kent Hovind and Carl Baugh(sp). They are well known quacks, both of them have fake degrees and they spout nothing but lies.
I regret to inform you that most of what you have posted has been discussed on these forums a hundred times. Fact is, non of it is true, and non of it coincides whith the overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
Why not look thrugh some of the longer Great Floof and Geology threads. You can see most of these points adressed.
Best regards
EDIT: BTW, when you want to quote someone just use {qs} at the beginning and {/qs} at the end of the quote. Except you replace the "{""}" with "[""]" get it?

Sure... I'll go ahead and break down your post and point you tword relevant links. Then if you have any further questions you could post them here for discussion.
Cool?

First, I've found that most evolutionary arguments involve a very large number of assumptions...the biggest of which is that the earth is the same today as it was 5000 years ago. For example, the atmosphere. The original post states that "There must have been some sort of pressurization to the planet's atmosphere."
First off, why is this such a far fetched assumption when there is nothing in the universe to indicate that things HAVENT worked allong the same rules?
And if indeed such an atmosphere existed 5000 years ago, wouldn't it have left evidence of it's presence? Better yet, wouldn't it have been subject to the same phisical laws?
From that we follow with:
which gets the following response:" Yes, living things survive really well inside a pressure cooker.
Big creatures need high pressure atmospheres about as much as they need a bullet to the head. Increase the pressure, things don't get bigger - they die.
If the atmosphere was full of water varpor as the YECs propose, that is enugh vapor to inundate the whole world, the atmosphere would create an incredible amount of pressure, not to mention an incredible amount of heat. That is what the above response means.
So much watter in the atmosphere would have cooked the surface of the earth under it's intense presure.
A relevant threads can be found here:
http://EvC Forum: Pre-flood physics?
http://EvC Forum: The Flood- one explanation
http://EvC Forum: Question about this so called World Wide Flood.
a very good one:
http://EvC Forum: Is the Global Flood Feasible? Discussion Q&A
You can turn up many more by simply using the forum search feture and typing in 'vapor canopy'
How about experiments including compressed carbon dioxide and plants? How do you explain dinosaurs that had nostrils too small to supply enough oxygen for their mass???
What do nostrils have to do with anything? Blue whale nostrils are bearly a few inches wide. Elephant nostrils are about as big as my thumb. Besides, nostrils don't fosilize and from what I can see, most dinosaurs have rather large nasal cavities.
I havent heard this silly argument before. So no threads for you here
Seems to me this theory is more plausible than dinosaurs who grow to massive sizes without adequate oxygen (based obviously on the assumption that the atmosphere had the same pressure and oxygen levels at a time when the dinosaurs were alive).
*To this I pose the following question: Is it not well documented that hyperbolic chambers providing increased pressure and oxygen actually improve healing time? How about experiments including compressed carbon dioxide and plants? How do you explain dinosaurs that had nostrils too small to supply enough oxygen for their mass??? Seems to me this theory is more plausible than dinosaurs who grow to massive sizes without adequate oxygen (based obviously on the assumption that the atmosphere had the same pressure and oxygen levels at a time when the dinosaurs were alive).
This is in support of that hyperbaric chanber hypothesis?

Again, see the threads above. This is an idea perpetuated by Carl Bough, if you would like some interesting info on him, and his crack science, check these sites out:
http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/paluxy/degrees.html
http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/paluxy/whatbau.html
You should really explore each link in this page about him:

There was mention of an ice shield/canopy, I'm not sure why this is so ridiculous... This shield would have reduced ultraviolet light, x-rays, and a number of other things that contribute to aging.
The question is, where is this ice canopy, and where is the evidence for it?
This would indeed then support a long life, larger plants, dinosaurs with small nostrils, etc. I would be interested in hearing how it is so impossible for this shield to have existed or why it could not have been dispersed in such a fashion as to not cause this massive heat transfer...besides, every time I've been in the rain, the temp hasn't gone up from the heat transfer...
The amount of water that it would take to flood the world is astronomical. That amount of watter in the atmosphere at any given time, would increase the pressure to an unheard of degree, and cook everything in the planet!
Read the above links on the great flood for more insight on this. Also, you may want to look into these:
CH310: Vapor canopy's effect on climate
http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/canopy.html
CH401: Vapor canopy
meisner(magnetic)effect
Indeed a reference in superconductors, floating trains, etc. Also a hypothesis of Dr. Kent Hoving with regard to one possibility (combined with atmospheric pressure) for how the ice shield may have been held up.
Kend Hovind is a fraud.
Account Suspended
skeletons of people 10-12' tall--call the Smithsonian, do a little research, they do exist...is this so ridiculous with people exceeding 8' tall even today?
This was also delt with on these forums. Forgot were it was tho. Anyone remember? Messenja posted those horned skulls etc.?
That's the first batch. I will do more latter. Feel free to answer these if you can. I have some other things I need to do.
bbl.
Have fun.

First off, please learn to use the quote feture. What you do is, at the beginning of a quote type {qs} except with square braces. At the end of the quote, you write {/qs}, again replacing the curly braces with square ones.
Hi I'm a Quote!
Ok, now on to your post.
Along the same lines there is nothing to indicate things have always been the way they are...
On the contrary, we have plenty of good scientific evidence which paints a clear picture of the various environmental conditions the earth has gone thrugh over the millenia.
The physical laws haven't changed...and yes there has been evidence, such as amber found with increased pressure and oxygen within it...how does this amber form with air bubbles like this if not for a different atmospheric pressure???
Huh? I have seen chunks of modern amber with air bubbles in them. Why does this necisseraly indicate different atmospheric pressure? It just means at some point during the ambers formation some air got trapped in it.
Perhapse if you could support this statement with a valid scientific argument we can discuss it further. As of now I see no reason this should indicate the kinds of pressures we are talking about.
I don't recall saying all the water was in the atmosphere...
The amount of watter required exists no where on earth, wheather you put it under the ground, or above the ground. It is just not on this plannet. Ever ask yourself where that watter went?
I don't think you realize the amount of watter required, it is an amount almost twice the oceans. There is no way that amount of watter can go unacounted for, it had to go somewhere.
Evidence for an ice canopy or vapor shield in the upper atomsphere include: palm trees found beneath the ice at the poles...what better evidence for a different world at one point, that world being more like a green house?
Can you please provide a refrence for this Palm tree find. If perhapse you can come up with an article from a peer review jurnal, or any other relevant scientific source, we could discuss this at length. As of now it proves nothing.
Even if such a palm tree existed how does it prove an ice canopy?
How about people growing larger, plants growing larger, etc?
You are saying 'growing' do you mean today? As I understand humans are actually getting shorter.
Or do you mean back in the high pressure days
Well, find me the evidence for giants and I'll be a happy man
Didn't you read any of the links I provided? I covered this. Read the Carl Baugh page since he is the main perveior of this nonsense.
How did redwoods grow in Canada at one point in the past since they require such a specific climate to prosper?
I dunno! Wow it's eerie isn't it! The creepy part is... how come they are still alive? And well suited to their current climet?
Do you have any proof that redwoods, or other large trees, CANT grow in our current climet? I can think of a few, rainforest Trees, Those giant cactuses, bailbob trees, desert palms, etc. Lots of big trees, regular atmosphere.
Wooly mammoths frozen standing up...with undigested or rotted food in their stomachs, would likely require a very fast freezing process which could not have occurred naturally on our earth today.
Ya, it's calld an avalanche. This is an oooold one. Again, can you provide a reference?
Just because there is a lot of water, does not mean the atmosphere would contain it all...if that is the case, why aren't the oceans filling the atmosphere today and frying us all?
Then where did the watter come from, and where did the watter go?
It had to evaporate, by definition it couldn't just soak into the ground. The world was inundated after all.
Where is the water?
Again the assumption is that the flood occurred only from the rains, not from water beneath the surface of the planet.
Again, the quantaty of water required simply does not exist on this earth. Sorry, it's not real.
Also the assumption remains that it would take more water than is here to flood the world. This assumption requires that the mountains have always been as high as they are today, I've seen no proof of this.
Oh my lord. You didn't bother following any of my links did you? This has been covered so many times. We have heard the hyper-plate tektoniks thing, that would be impossible!
Do you know what happens when plates move the slightest of centameters... earthquakes, tidal waves, volcanoes!
Thats only a few fractions of an inch. The last big earthquake in california saw the san andreas fault skip like an inch and a half. To actualy have tektonoc plates slaming into each other at such an accelerated rate would cause unspeakable havoc.
Have you ever heard of krakatoa? It was a small island with a very large volcano. The island exploded.
http://volcano.und.nodak.edu/...s/grp7/asia/question879.html
Tidal waves and tremors were felt around the world. The sound was said to reach as far as europe.
Now, if the plates were speeding about the glope like race cars, crashing into each other and raising Evarest in a matter of years. We are talking about an incredably massive, literaly earth shattering, calamity!
Just because you believe someone a fraud, does not necessarily invalidate everything they say. I am hopeful that our conversation will not deteriorate into namecalling as a means of discrediting someone's opinions
My friend, belive me, the man is worthless. Creation scientists wont touch him. He has been proven a lier and his theories are full of holes. Go to AIG, a creationist site, read what they have to say about hovind.
Im not name calling, Im just calling it as it is. Hovind is a disgrace with nothing worth-while to contribute to this debate.
It has become obvious to me that I have jumped into my first discussion on too large a scale. I have neither the time nor the energy to continue a discussion on this large a scale. I would be interested in some direction on how to make my posts more readable, putting lines above and below quotes, etc. if you don't mind offering some help there.
Sure, I added it up top.
To make the debate more palatable, how about you pick one issue to talk about. We will discuss it at length.
Also, please go back to my other post and read the links I provided. I worked hard on those.
Thank you.
