I find it interesting that most of those posting apparently doesn't feel nutrients are needed for corals
That's not even close to what we're saying. You either know that and are being deliberatly obstuse, or you don't understand what we're saying, at which point I don't understand why you're participating in this thread in the first place.
Of course zooplankton need nutrients, and the silty global floodwaters might indeed be a great environment for them.
It's not going to matter, though, because the coral will be
too dead to eat. It doesn't matter how much food there is for the coral - it'll be dead!
I have no problem that the massive killoff of your Great Barrier Reef that sank 4,350 years ago, could of been killed off by the massive amounts of silts in the biblical flood waters
So, then, you admit that the global flood never happened? Because that's what we're saying - the coral reef is older than the timeframe of the gloabl flood, and there's no way it would have survived if the flood had happened.
