That's what I was saying... this one's gone on long enough. So, here's a quick summary for everyone, based on the original post.
quote:
1. Imo, I say, Imo, de deep flood did indeedy drop down.
2. The atmosphere was thick and high before the flood and provided a perfect climate for then relatively smooth planet earth which had small oceans and likely about 70% of the planet's surface continent.
There's enough evidence around against the Flood, so I won't bother posting it all again. So far buzsaw has not clarified what he means by thick and high, or 'surface continent'.
quote:
3. The thin crusts of earth sank into the molten center, creating the deep oceans via the weight of the enormous volumn of water.
4. The weight of the huge volumn of water produced enough weight force to push the displaced molten earth core under the continents and raise up the mountain ranges. Thus the fact that most, I say most, are near the coasts.
Coragyps refuted this in post #7, as did I in post #22. A few others joined in too, and Buzsaw did not produce any evidence to support this statement.
quote:
5. According to the prophets, we're headed for big time drought and global warming.
It has been shown that global warming does not necessarily equal drought, except on a local level (Percipient in #74). Buzsaw switched to talking about this around post #55. In post #66 he suggests that a miracle could cause the drought. He then goes on to discuss the apparent increase in forest fires as proof, which was refuted by many people, especially NosyNed.
quote:
6. According to the prophet John, a meteor will likely hit an ocean, wiping out a third of the ships.
Macavity provided a handy link in post #73 about the logistics of a meteor strike, which Buzsaw never responded to.
quote:
7. Add up these, i.e. drought, global warming and meteor and/or huge continental shift and you have big time evaporation and possibly a bit of an adjustment in the position of planet earth.
Also refuted by Macavity's post. Buzsaw later doubled back on this in post #98, in replying to Percipient's post.
quote:
8. The Biblical prophets predict a time coming on earth where men again live long lives and the climate of earth get so good that the "plowman will overtake the reaper".
No one really got excited over this - I suppose it's incidental to the main discussion. Percipient pointed out that prophesies 'back-fitted' to events that have already happened are not really prophesies at all, in reference to Buzsaw continually stating that global warming had been predicted by the Bible.
quote:
9. The Biblical prophets predict that the sun and moon will be darkened some and when Christ Messiah returns to earth, he will come "with clouds." The world's atmosphere will become cloudy as drought and heat prevail.
John and Coragyps tackled this one - and eventually provided the numbers behind how much water the atmosphere could hold and how hot the Earth would get. This was the whole vapour canopy thing, for which Buzsaw provided no calculations or scientific explanations. Another miracle was invoked in post #113. Many others joined in here, asking questions about this idea - Buzsaw did not provide any reasonable answers.
quote:
10. The prophets predict violent weather and earthquakes, etc for "latter days".
11. One of the last things to happen in latter days is this humungus worldwide earthquake that levels all cities, islands and mountains. (This, imo, due to the evaporation of the oceans and the rewarping of earth's surface to preflood relatively smooth surface.
This was discarded early on, as earthquakes are not caused by this and the idea of a worldwide quake is ridiculous.
quote:
10. I'm adding this all up to conclude that the super climate which was in place before Noah's flood will indeed return to planet earth, essentially making it again a terrarium type environment.
This wasn't really addressed either, as Buzsaw never defined what he meant by 'super climate'.
All this was posted before page 11 of this thread. The rest of the thread consists of everyone posting the same stuff over and over again, because Buzsaw apparently didn't read them the first or second time.
Draw your own conclusions.
