I've already tackled the point about on Flood Geology. Her's another to check on:
quote:
-Scripture reveals the exact height of Noah’s flood, Fifteen cubits (only 22 feet) upward did the waters prevail (Gen 7:20), which is in exact accordance with Orthodox Jewish interpretation and archaeology.
Perhaps we should look at Genesis 7:20 in context, using some major translations:
NASB:
19 The water prevailed more and more upon the earth, so that all the high mountains everywhere under the heavens were covered.
20 The water prevailed fifteen cubits higher, and the mountains were covered.
So not 15 cubits here. 15 cubits
higher than the mountains.
NIV:
19 They rose greatly on the earth, and all the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered.
20 The waters rose and covered the mountains to a depth of more than twenty feet.
Again, 15 cubits
higher than the mountains.
NKJV:
19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth, and all the high hills under the whole heaven were covered.
20 The waters prevailed fifteen cubits upward, and the mountains were covered.
Again, the 15 cubits is not the height of the waters, it is the increase in height after the "mountains" or "high hills" are covered.
It's looking as if Hawley is intentionally ignoring the context given by Genesis 7:19.
