Tectonic activity separated Pangaea and it was a bumpy jerky start, including collision or compression as part of the process.

There was plenty of sediment as there was no doubt very thick land mass. But nobody said it was totally flat. It is assumed there were rolling hills at least.

I am dealing with multiple posters. Besides which it is considered very bad scholarly form not to supply links as references online. But you are no scholar. Only the rankest boor would tell me to look it up myself.

Another boorish communication. It covered all the highest mountains at a mere depth of FIFTEEN CUBITS. Look it up.

I did supply you with a reference. I gave you the exact verse to look up. As a Christian, I thought you might have a Bible handy. Certainly with access to the Internet, you do.

I have a few myself. And you are the worst kind of boor even if you're a highly published scholar.

The mountains were covered in 15 cubits of water (i.e. tops of the high mountains were 6.9 meters beneath the surface of the water). This does not imply the mountains were only 15 cubits tall.

Heavy erosion requires not only a lot of water, but a place for the water to go and a sufficient gradient to keep the water moving. Which would likely be quite steep in order for the water to carry such sediment-laden loads.
If the land was relatively flat with few rolling hills, the basins would fill up very quickly, essentially flattening the landscape (i.e., no gradient), and erosion would stop.

The mountains were covered in 15 cubits of water (i.e. tops of the high mountains were 6.9 meters beneath the surface of the water). To be fair, I read it the same way Faith does - that the water rose 15 cubits, i.e. the total depth of water was 15 cubits. I live at the bottom of an ancient lake (now dried up for our convenience) and it is very flat. Fifteen cubits of water would cover everything as far as the eye could see, barring human constructions. (Tower of Babel, anyone? ) It could easily be miscontrued as a "worldwide" flood. Of course, the idea of mountains rising after the flood is utterly unscriptural. Help scientific research in your spare time. No cost. No obligation. Join the World Community Grid with Team EvC

Of course, the idea of mountains rising after the flood is utterly unscriptural. There is nothing in scripture for or against mountains rising after the flood that I can see. The Biblical events happen in an area with few serious mountains. Could have been a lot of mountain building going on elsewhere. This message has been edited by Faith, 03-10-2006 02:39 PM

I'll take it under advisement.

In any case, say the water was only 15 cubits deep... and yet the ark was 30 cubits tall... this thing would have nearly been scraping the bottom of the inundated ground! Certainly, it would have been smashing into the sides of the barely-covered mini-mountains.
