The Flood = many coincidences

Your totally right, its pretty pointless using a 'what if' as a basis for any sort of arguement... so i take it backso i'm going to offer some of the strange phenomenon that is found around the earth that makes the flood plausible1. Fish fossils on mountain ranges.
This tells us that at some time in the past, there WAS water covering much of the earth... from the dessert regions of Lebanon to the driest of places like Australia. In the outback in Australia there are desserts covered in marine fossils which tell us that there was water there... a lot of water.

With the removal of the insulating watery canopy, the polar regions were suddenly plunged into a deep freeze, trapping animals that then lived far north of their present habitat. The proof that this was a sudden event, and not something that occurred over a long period of time, is the fact that even the green grass they were eating was quickly deepfrozen in their mouths and stomachs, where it has been discovered in modern times.3. Creatures from the Jurassic Periods have been found with animals from Cretaceous.
You dont think its even remotely possible that perhaps scientists just might have their interpretations wrong on some things.

There is an estimated 30,000 seamounts across the globe, but only a few have ever been studied. These are mountains under water.If the world was indeed flooded , then surely the fact that thousands of mountains are found under water, make the flood plausible.for me, someone who belives in the bible account, this is evidence of somethign greater...making the flood plausible and very possibleThe final fact for all christians to remember is that Jesus Christ himself spoke of the flood as a real historical event. He was with God and therefore would have witnessed it from the heavens...its not likely he would endorse a myth and teach it to people if he knew it wasnt true.

What's more, climate change alone probably did not cause it. Over about 40,000 years, 200 or more groups of large herbivores are wiped out. With their prey absent from the food chain, many carnivores and scavengers also die off. Temperature fluctuates throughout the last ice ages, but the fossil record does not indicate an unusual concentration of death among smaller animals, plants, or marine creatures, at least some of which would likely have been affected by climate change. Instead, the loss of very large fauna almost always coincides with the arrival of humans to a continent. This suggests the possibility of over-hunting by early human settlers.

scientific Flood evidence

Uncontested Science Fact #1: The mountains were at some period, formed by some means which requires that at some period the surface of planet earth was smoother than is observed today.Uncontested Science Fact #2: There was a time of significant flooding on the planet.Logical Conclusion: If the planet's surface was smoother/less mountainous, the volume of water observed in the deep oceans would be such that far more, if not all of the smoother planet would have been flooded unless a significantly greater volume of water was in the form of atmospheric vapor than is observed today.

"the water came out of the air" = "to add water to the system"

Some of the present ocean water would have been either sub terrain or as vapor as per the Biblical model.

ASV Gen 7:19-20
19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high mountains that were under the whole heaven were covered.
20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.

” Dinosaurs in the Midwest died by and are buried in volcanic ash and are bones, not necessarily fossils. Moreover, they usually are not found very deep, in fact near the surface! And they died 65 million years ago? HA! Hardly. A few thousand years at best, and most likely a few hundred years AFTER the Flood . . ..After 65 million years the bones would be in the sea (as well as the entire continent would erode away . ..but plate tectonics would push them back up at 4cm/year . .so everything would be OK).

unable to accept Archie's divinely inspired and flawless theory (they're just infindels anyway......)

Because of their premise, those people (namely YECs) are constantly questioning scientific evidence- which is good- but then they take it too far by asserting that it is impossible for those evolutionists/other scientists to come to a correct conclusion.

It is a known fact that in many cases these and other animals choked on volcanic ash prior to being buried in it.

There is much more evidence that scientists are again ignoring regarding the demise of Dino et.al.

It is certainly not "my" flood.... and yes, there was lots of water.
