The TRVE history of the Flood...

I'm trying to work out in my head how your scenario would work.Remember, the Flood rose for forty days (Genesis 7:17) and according to you the Grand Staircase has two miles of Flood sediment. So 10,000 ft of sediment (rounded off) would have to be under water at least 10,000 ft deeper than the start of the flood. That means 10,000 ft water / 40 days = 250 ft of water per day.Would there be any tides as we know them? Tide heights are due to the interference of continents on the travel of the tidal bulge. Mid-ocean islands have much smaller tides than continental shores. As the Flood deepened and more of the continents were flooded, the tidal range would shrink.Between the two affects of tide and rising Flood, I would think that rather than tides flowing in & out, the rising Flood would slow during the falling tide and surge faster during the rising tide. More like stairsteps than cycles.

How is the lower strata to move without the upper strata moving? Why didn't the upper strata just ride along with the lower strata?The massive weight of the upper strata means there would have to be enormous forces pushing on just the edge of the upper strata to hold it in place while the lower strata moved.Here's an experiment. Put a cookie sheet on the table. Spread a dish towel on top of the cookie sheet but leave part of the cookie sheet exposed on the right side. Put your left hand on the cookie sheet right next to the towel. Holding your left hand still pull the cookie sheet to the right like your lower strata moving.What happens to the towel? It is pulled along with the cookie sheet until your left hand causes it to bunch up.Now do you see the wavy layers in the rock around the Grand Canyon with flat layers underneath?

Look for evidence in the rock strata. How deep is the sediment you think was deposited by the Flood? IIRC Grand Canyon and Grand Staircase strata total 10,000 ft.

AHHH whiplash!Why wouldn't all the stuff fall off when God whipped the continents thousands of miles? I can't keep the coffee cup on the roof of my car in my driveway.The other part that I really want to know is WHY? He goes to the effort to nag Noah and his family into spending 100 years building the ark, sends the flood with all that effort, and then decides to just whip the continents across the planet. He could have just squished all the evil people and kept the animals.

All I see are assertions without evidence or links to evidence.

EVERY time I have seen the table cloth trick, the plates, etc ALL jerk a couple inches no matter how good the performer. That's where the whiplash comes in. To suddenly move billions of tons of rock and everything sitting on them thousands of miles and just as suddenly stop them will have consequences. Shattered rock where plates come together rather than folded as we find in the Appalachian Mountains for example.You didn't answer WHY? Wouldn't it be more impressive to humanity if God struck in a straight forward and immediate way? My experience is that humans learn much better from a direct & immediate consequence.
