Re: Brief notes on the "flood"
Arguably they're not a good example of what creationists should be looking for, since they were caused by a natural dam breaking and a sheet of water sweeping laterally across the landscape.
That must be the 'de-flooding'. Which is, somehow, evidence for a flood. Never mind that it happens without global floods, also...
Yah, it's confusing for some people. Such is YEC.

Re: Brief notes on the "flood"
Im not talking about already existing moutains being raised up due to flooding. Im talking about them being FORMED because of it. Are you following along?
How does that happen?

Re: Brief notes on the "flood"
When it comes to matters of Creation tho, that doesn't seem to jive with the evolutionists. Are we to dismiss all evidence of what we can actually see until we know exactly where the water came from? Or how it started?
I'm not sure what you see. But yes, if you want to defend a position, it's always good to have some ammunition.
If the TOE did that there wouldn't even be a theory! The fact is that there are things that can't be explained properly if attributed to localized flooding(based on the articles I provided).
Not really. There are plenty of people who would say that the origin of life is supernatural, but what happened afterward was not. Now, if you want to say that the origin of the water was supernatural, fine. But we've got more questions...
quote:
"The distribution of quartzite gravel, cobbles and boulders on the mountaintops, ridges plateaus and valleys of northwestern USA and southwest Canada."
Well, there's part of the problem. These deposits are not just on the mountains, but they make up the mountains as well. We know how they formed and when.
quote:
I'd say it's more than enough "evidence" that suggests something BIG happened that isn't happening today...
Well, yes, I'd say the uplift of the Rocky Mtn's was a big event, but it sure wasn't global.
And actually, it is going on today. There are ongoing orogenies and concurrent sediments being deposited.
quote:
... and it wasn't due to anything local.
Act locally, but think globally...
When the Appalachians were rising the Rocky Mtns. simply didn't exist. The Canadian Shield is eroding, but the crust of the Pacific Coast is still forming. Those are pretty major events.
Edited by Admin, : Fix quote.

Re: Brief notes on the "flood"
Adam Sedgwick said it best. This is part of the speech he gave as he vacated his chairmanship of the Geologic Society of London (the most prestigious society of its kind at the time):
...
A good find.
They had a way with words in those days...
