Is there more? There is a huge amount of data that this can not explain. You may start with the sea shells which many creationists say is evidence for the flood being over the top of the mountains. So you should really go and argue with them to get your speculation accepted.
I asked someone here already if the areas where they are finding the seashells could have been the ocean floor already. And if it was wouldn't be easy to prove that, by examining the soil. I was told yes it was most likely ocean floor before. So I am not subscribing to what creationalist say. I do not stand by either camp. I do agree that both sides are scinece, and any science is good science because of the evidence it creates. I only believe in God.
No, they will not produce, or you haven't described how they could produce, what we actually see when examining the geological record. To do this you first have to learn what the geology shows us then and only then figure out an alternative explanation for how it got that way.
Agreed, can you point me towards some links?
Thats what I wanted to hear.
Then figure it out. You don't have a 'theory' if you don't do the calculations to show what would happen. You may start by calculating the rate of arrival of water on a mountain side, determing how fast gravity can move it off and by doing so determine the depth of water at each elevation down the mountain.
I was trying to find a program that would do this for me. Its out there already, so I wouldn't have to do all the work of figuring that out which would take me quite a while, and probably still not get it right due to all the variables. So I have contacted a water run-off specialist.
Then, if you want a 'theory', you would suggest what kind of specific evidence this would leave on all the high mountains of the world that could be looked for to check your hypothosis.
The evidence would be lack of soil on anything with a slope. Other than the accumlation of dust, or compost from the time of the flood until now. This amount should be the same throughout the world, I guess. I don't have these figures, but around here in NY, in the appalachian mountains there is very little compost, or dirt on the hills. The rock is very exposed.
If my theory was correct. ground water would rise so high that it pour out of every crack and crevis on a mountain, that it would wash away all dirt. *edit* I witness this first hand, it is my observation. It gets so bad after only one day and 5 inches of rain, that it washes out roads, and I see ground water shooting up through the cracks in the mountain. Even the cracks in my driveway.
I guess the only way there would be dirt on a mountain is if the mountain was formed after the flood.
Since you haven't done any of that you have nothing. The fact that you think you have is enough to engender significant disrepect of your abilities. I'm not the one who thinks they can contribute anything by making stuff up and not thinking it through.
I have thought this through for over 2 years. But only casually. I do not know all that is needed to prove that it happened or not. That is why I put it you guys, who I think are pretty smart.
I just don't appreciate the fact that you think I couldn't be smart too, just because I didn't go to college, or because I believe in God, and then proceed to insult me. I'll admit that typing, and vocabulary are not my strong points at all, and that can make it appear that I am not smart. It is an obsticle I've had to get over all my life. I am better at math and science than English, or history.
