¿Can you believe in an old earth and a global flood?

THE FLOOD WAS GLOBAL, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. I AM ACTUALLY WRITING A BOOK ABOUT THE EVENT WITH VISUAL GEOGRAPHIC AND SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE THAT FULLY SUPPORTS THIS FACT ALONG WITH THE SCRIPTURE. I HAVE SHARED MY THEORIES AND FINDINGS WITH FRIENDS THAT ARE ATHEISTS, BUDDHISTS, NEW AGE AND CHRISTIAN AND THEY ALL SEE IT CLEARLY. IN FACT THERE IS ALWAYS A RISE OF FEAR I CAN SEE IN EVERYONES FACE WHEN I PRESENT THIS, NO MATTER WHAT THEIR FAITH HAPPENS TO BE. FOR MYSELF AS I HAVE WORKED ON THIS MY REVERENTIAL FEAR FOR THE LORD GOD HAS GONE THRU THE ROOF. IT WAS NOT JUST A FLOOD, BUT THE FACE EARTH WAS DESTROYED, AND WE LIVE IN THE EVIDENCE AND ARE STILL EXPERIENCING THE EFFECTS OF THE FLOOD TODAY.I HAVE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT TO SAY/SHARE ABOUT THE FLOOD, SO ALL I CAN DO NOW IS TO LET EVERYONE IN THE FORUM KNOW WHEN MY FIRST VOLUME IS COMPLETE. I AM ALSO WORKING ON A POWER POINT PRESENTATION SO I CAN SHARE THIS INFORMATION WITH GROUPS, CHURCHES, OR ANYONE INTERESTED.THE IRONY OF THE WHOLE THING IS THE FACT THAT I DID NO CHOOSE TO GO ABOUT TAKING ON THIS TASK. I HAVE A PERSONAL TESTIMONY I THINK PEOPLE WILL FIND VERY INTERESTING AS WELL THAT STARTED ME ON THIS JOURNEY.THE BOTTOM LINE FRIENDS IS GODS JUDGMENT IS VERY REAL, BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS HIS GRACE IS VERY AMAZING, AND I AM A LIVING TESTIMONY TO THAT FACT.

Thanks for the welcome and sorry for the all caps, good suggestion.Yes there is a chance I can have my work previewed. Along with the book I hope to have a website. There is quite a bit of information/graphics so it will take a lot of time to compile, but I'm working on it.A few things the book will cover include volcanism, mountain and canyon formation, rivers that defy logic, lakes that should not exist, massive erosion/runoff patterns, etc. along with the re-population of the earth by Noah's 3 sons.Thanks again for the comments and maybe this there should be another thread for this discussion.

The information would be too large to present here but we can still discuss various topics in the forum. There is always the potential for errors in facts and logic so there needs to be research done and even experiments, no doubt, good advice. I firmly believe in researching information thoroughly before putting it on paper as fact. Genius? well my wife may have something to say about that. Do I see things differently and apply critical thinking? You bet, thats what I am trained and paid to do.I look at geography and see that the current shape of the world we live in is a result of a huge catastrophic event that occurred as a chain reaction, world wide. And no, the continents did not break apart and "crash" into each other like a demolition derby that science has always taught with the plate tectonic theory. Furthermore it did not take a "million-billion" years. I'll explain it thoroughly in my book.Onto some more interesting rivers that defy logic:
Columbia River
Susquehana
New River in NC, VA.
Finke River Australia.
Yangzi River, China.There are many many more but these rivers are similar.Edited by ARCHITECT-426, : No reason given.

Take a look at the Susquehana; north of Harrisburg and note how it chose to flow through mountain ranges instead of around them. The other rivers do the same trick. Does anyone have any explanations?By the way I got a good chuckle out of Dr. Adequate's rivers. Its always good to keep a sense of humor around this subject of God flooding the earth and wiping out mankind and everything else.

It seems we have two thoughts going:1. The river was always there and the mountain ranges decided to stop at the river bed, then continue on the other side (assuming the river eroded them down as they rose).
2. The mountains were there first and then the river cuts through the hard rock at 90 d. without a blink.So which was first, the river or the mountains? (this logic would also apply to the thousands of rivers in the world that do the exact same thing).If the rivers were always present before mountain ranges, then were they as large assuming the world was relatively flat? (thus the velocity of the rivers would be much lower than they are with the mountainous terrain). Furthermore if the rivers were always in place ignoring mountain building, then why do they rise with the landscape of the mountains instead of staying at their original elevation???Assume, just for one moment, that plate tectonics had little to do with mountain building. Then what other major force could there have been to create them?
