Did the Flood really happen?

I've always thoght I did, but could you list a few to be sure? Nothing elaborate, just off the top of your head.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

18 years here and you have learned nothing.

More llke eight years here, maybe nine, was not here a lot of that time.Cheers.Of course what you mean by how I've learned nothing is that I haven't come around to your way of thlnking. Cuz I've read a lot of books and other stuff about evolution and geology.Happy happy.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

Were you there?

A few can't convey any sense of the situation. A lot is too much to ask in this medium. But it's all readily available and presented better than I could. Edited by JonF, : No reason given.

You may have read a lot but you've made it clear you've absorbed nothing.

Morton's demon sits at the front of the mind and filters incoming ideas, only letting in those with which the person agrees and blocking the rest. This is much more powerful than any system where the ideas are tested for compliance by the mind and then rejected - they don't even get considered in the first place.

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

Of course you do. See Ken Ham or Kent Hovind.

Interesting. According to your profile you joined on 10-06-2001. Did you assume someone elses profile.
There are a few posts under this name in 2001 and then a lot starting in 2005. Even if we ignore 2001 there have been regular posts under this name for 15 years. Name some.

Completely plausible.

That makes the whole post look like a joke.

I hypothesized that they occurred during a phase of the rising water when waves and tides came in and went out, leaving sllck wet sediments as they went out.

And at what point in the Flood is that plausible ? The initial Flood is supposed to have covered the mountains.And is it really plausible that “slick wet sediments” would look like desert deposits ? Or that the time between the “waves” would allow dinosaurs to mate, build nests and for the eggs to hatch?

quote:

---

Some creatures were still alive and their footprints and burrows got impressed in the wet sedment which were then preserved when the next wave deposited a new load of sediment on top of them.

It doesn’t exactly seem likely that a Flood covering the mountains would leave many dinosaurs alive. Add in the fact that Genesis 7:21-23 seems to indicate that everything died then - and your own proposal the the pre-Flood world was completely annihilated and I’d say that that doesn’t seem plausible at all.

Or one reads with one's own mind intact, but with a strong critical perspective that sees what's wrong with certain ideas.

Yes, weigh and consider, that's what the critical mind does.

And your mind just dismisses,
