Did the Flood really happen?

And once again you show that the Greatest Threat to the US and the World is the Christian Cult of Ignorance.

Actually Faith, there is overwhelming and conclusive evidence that the climate before and after the time when either of the Biblical Floods stories claim it happened were pretty much identical to today. There is absolute evidence that there was rain, that the critters and plants and fungi were the same, that there was no mass extinction of all populations of plants, animals or fungi at that time. There is overwhelming evidence that the temperatures were pretty much the same both before and after the time when either of the Biblical floods supposedly happened.It's not just that there is no evidence for a climate difference before and after the time either of the floods supposedly happened, there is overwhelming evidence that there was no changes.

Think Faith, think.If the evidence was destroyed there would be evidence of the destruction. Just like we can tell when layers of rock thousands of feet thick are missing.BUT... the important thing is that not only is the evidence not missing, there is overwhelming evidence that neither of the Biblical Floods ever happened.Sorry faith but any belief that there was a Biblical Flood is simply silly at best.

Yet you still cannot explain how either of the Biblical Floods could create millions of alternating layers of finer material covered by courser material, transport whole islands of coral intact and deposit them right side up, create and preserve wind blown sand dunes, leave tracks of critters or intact nests, sort biological samples by critter or plant or pollen type or in fact any of the hundreds if not thousands of examples that exist in reality.

Faith, how did either of the Biblical Floods

1. create millions of alternating layers of finer material covered by courser material,
   ​
2. transport whole islands of coral intact and deposit them right side up,
   ​
3. create and preserve wind blown sand dunes,
   ​
4. leave tracks of critters and intact nests,
   ​
5. sort biological samples by critter and plant and pollen by type.

Why is it impossible to measure?

Do I need to have been there or might there be other ways I could determine how much time passed?

Bullshit Faith. You can only assert that "Evidence for either view doesn't really exist" by being willfully ignorant or utterly dishonest.The evidence for the existence before the alleged dates of either Biblical Flood story exists in position, chemistry, geology, radiometric dating as well as every other testing method yet devised. There is No evidence of either Biblical Flood other than the stories in the Bible.

Unfortunately it is actually pretty common. I have been told by "Christians" here that I should be taken out and shot, that if they could reach me they would throttle me and several other similar truly stupid comments.

Yes, Christians here. Don't remember the name but from England, Buz for another, you quite a few times.As I have often said, the greatest threat today in the US is Fundamental Christianity.

No, one would expect to find fossils in the area near where they died.

Well, if I thought today's Fundamental Christians worth the effort I'd search back to find the posts. But they aren't.I did find it and the member was iano in Message 102.Classic Fundamental Christian call to violence.Like saying folk should be strangled.Edited by jar, : found the post.

There was no flood.

Question about Granite not being part of a geological column.Would Half Dome be considered as part of a Geological column?Is Texas Pink Granite part of a Geological Column?Is Stone Mountain part of a geological column?What about Granite Mountain?

I believe an important point that is not being stressed enough is that "laying down" is a process that requires time. Each layer might be originally laid down straight and flat BUT that is only the very top layer. The top layer then gets eroded making it no longer flat.Later a second layer is deposited on the no longer flat surface and built up over time until the very highest part of layer two is once again flat and straight. It too then gets eroded and becomes no longer straight and flat.The process continues to repeat.At sometime the whole existing section gets tilted or deformed so the whole existing section is no longer flat and erosion continues.The next layer once again fills the low spots and builds up until once again it is flat and straight at the upper surface.BUT...Each period of slowly building up a surface and slowly eroding and weathering away of a surface requires TIME and a sequential series of events.Unless Faith or someone else who thinks there was some Biblical flood can explain the flood model, method, mechanism, process or procedure that can perform all that is needed to create what actually exists withing a one year period of time, the idea of any Biblical Flood as a reality can simply be dismissed.
