Peanut Gallery: Ice Age is a Product of the Flood

In the hope that Peeta Mellark is educable.

But we have absolute evidence that the Biblical Flood (whichever version of the story you choose) never happened.Arguing that Ice Ages are the result of something that never happened in the first place seems pretty futile, sad and pitifully silly.Edited by jar, : left out pitifully.

So are you saying that the Biblical Flood was NOT world-wide but just local and that only some local plants, animals and plants were destroyed?Edited by jar, : appalin gremmer

I gotta admit I do get a big chuckle when topics like "Ice Age is a Product of the Flood " come up, a really big chuckle, since it shows just how little folk know about science or physics or reality.Even if we forget that no matter which of the Biblical Flood myths we choose, the Flud was a short term event, the plain physics of turning water into ice means there is NO world-wide flood.When you turn water into ice it expands, becomes an almost solid (still shows some plasticity) and actually lowers sea levels.Fortunately, changes leave evidence and Ice Ages leave lots of evidence in moraines, "U" shaped valleys, gouges in bedrock, missing soil layers, evidence of lowered shore lines and displaced boulders. The evidence shows that during Ice Ages sea levels are low exposing land bridges (Bering Straits) that had previously been flooded.So lock all that water up in ice folk. After all if it weren't for the current Ice Age un-flooding that land bridge we might not even be here today.Edited by jar, : appalin spallin

While there might not be evidence for the direct cause of an ice age, some possibilities can be eliminated as totally refuted like a Biblical Flood.

What we can show is the converse, examples of Ice Ages (particularly ending them) causing local floods.
