Too Many Meteor Strikes in 6k Years

Since you ask, try this: Tunguska event - Wikipedia . It includes some speculative hypotheses, which you may enjoy.

People who think they have all the answers usually don't understand the questions.

Of course it was laid down sequentially. What's the problem with angular unconformities? Upheaval shifted parts of the column. What's the big deal? As for dinosaurs, you assume the timeline interpretation of the column, but if there was some mechanical explanation for why dinosaurs are only found in certain layers, then the relation of their burial level to meteor impact is not necessarily causal.

Thank you. Will check it out.Must take a break.Carry on, gang.

the problem is that most yec's insist that the entire column was laid down in one event. angular unconformities disprove that.also, if you stack the geological column from permian to cretacious, and divide by 6k years, you get about 20+ feet of rock per yer, on average. and that's not the entire column. like hydrologic sorting? not with angular unconformities. besides, no mechanism other than "god did it to mess with us" has ever been proposed.it also proves, if you can follow logic, that the layers with dinosaurs in them were laid down before the layer without dinosaurs in them. and if the division is based around an asteroid event, it doesn't take a leap of faith to think that the asteroid caused the extinction. no. not really. you haven't actually demonstrated a familiarity with the data at all. you've just done a few backflips in the mental gymnastics arena, not legitimized it as an olympic sport.

There is simply no evidence for a flood as described in Christian mythology. Throwing massive cometary and meteor bombardment into the mix doesn't help. Sure we do. it's called physics. The comet weighs a certain amount, it is going at a certain speed (both qualities easily estimable within a range by applying astronomy). That means it's going to hit with calculable force.

It was laid down sequentially over SOME period of time DURING that one event that lasted after all a year and who knows how long it took the flood to recede, leaving many layers of stuff one at a time. Sequential doesn't mean it built up on the ridiculous principle of accumulated deposits for each long age of time. A layer was no doubt laid down all at once, and others laid down on top of it separately, after who knows how long a gap, but not years. Angular unconformities occur sometime during the process. A bunch of layers are laid down, then a big bubble of magma displaces a block of layers and upends them, a whole nother bunch of layers slide over the uptilted ones, etc etc etc. Most unconformities, however, clearly happened AFTER the whole column was laid down. IF the timeline theory is correct it would follow, but if it happened in a much shorter period of time there is no necessary relation. Those layers did not build up slowly and gradually over long aeons, sorry. It makes me laugh just thinking about it. Don't recall claiming such a thing. This started out as "just a thought." It remains "just a thought."But thanks for noting that I can do a decent mental backflip!

This is not on the specific topic. Please to not respondCan anyone tell me how the Egyptians were able to miss this world wide Flood?How come we have a continuous record from Egypt from c.3000 BCE right through the Flood period with the flood being in the Middle of the 5th dynasty period?Quality entertainment, you cannot make this stuff up!This message has been edited by AdminNosy, 05-23-2005 03:46 PM

Sorry, Brian, but this is a rather focussed topic.Please don't stray.

They were unknowlingly living on a continent-sized, floating mat of vegetation?Oops! Sorry. Won't reply to off-topic posts again.This message has been edited by roxrkool, 05-23-2005 03:47 PM

No probs Ned.I thought since we were talkng about a flood 4400 years ago and the devastation caused my these meteors that contradictory evidence would be ON topic.I must have short circuited somewhere.Brian.This message has been edited by Brian, 05-23-2005 03:55 PM

I wouldn't trust secular history myself. Sure you can. It's done all the time. The whole evo show is made up, imaginative stitching together of clues they call facts but aren't. A laugh a minute.EDIT: SORRY, ANSWERED BEFORE I SAW THE OFF-TOPIC NOTE.This message has been edited by Faith, 05-23-2005 04:00 PM

In this discussion we are taking the flood as a given. No doubt, but nevertheless the RESULT of the impact, the effect of debris, dust, steam etc., can't be known with all that certainty. There are other variables in the mix that can affect those results.

But if we take the flood as a given - then there is really nothing to discuss - it's moot. If we want to claim that Noah and his family were not burnt to death then we really need the intervention of God - surely meaning this thread should be over in the faith section (or whatever we call it now).

No, we're discussing how comets, meteors and meteorites might have affected things if they occurred during a flood which is taken as a given. I'm happy to move over there. Whatever.This message has been edited by Faith, 05-23-2005 04:13 PM

Ned, I know this is off-topic, but wnope is not even participating in his own thread! You made me think. What if Noahs "flood" was merely a giant tsunami?
