Did the Flood really happen?

A flood that killed all animals and plants at the same time would leave the markers of a genetic bottleneck in the genomes of all modern species at exactly that date.No such markers exist.

You've made up a story a million times before which is utter shit.You'll notice that if someone says something that does not contradict settled science and is backed by credible evidence, it's not discussed again. But if someone makes stuff up on the hoof that is patently unevidenced bullshit and flies in the face of known facts, we tend to keep on saying it.

There's no logic in it, you just made up a story.The story you made up could be called a hypothesis, but then you'd need evidence to support it. And the evidence does the opposite. So it's just bullshit.

No evidence for a global flood.
Irrefutable of evidence that says it didn't happen.
No evidence for a young earth, irrefutable evidence for an old earth.And that's just the science.Historically, the flood myths in the bible are based on a series of earlier flood myths from Messapetamia, the best known being Gilgamesh.

Mesopotamian mythology refers to the myths, religious texts, and other literature that comes from the region of ancient Mesopotamia in modern-day West Asia. In particular the societies of Sumer, Akkad, and Assyria, all of which existed shortly after 3000 BCE and were mostly gone by 400 CE.[1] These works were primarily preserved on stone or clay tablets and were written in cuneiform by scribes. Several lengthy pieces have survived, some of which are considered the oldest stories in the world, and have given historians insight into Mesopotamian ideology and cosmology.

Mesopotamian myths - WikipediaCan we please stop trying to convince Faith that she's wrong now, it doesn't work, she's heard it all before and we know she's not influenced by facts.

Stuff rolls down hill.I live at the bottom of a valley with fairly sloping sides. I put a path down in my garden 15 years ago, until this summer it had become subsurface, I had to dig it out and remake it.Never wondered why archaeologists have to dig? And why their sites are called 'digs'? Its because sediments gradually bury whatever is on the surface. The longer you leave it, the further down it will be.

That's exactly what they do.
You've been shown exactly how a thousand times.

Tell us where the errors are.Sedimentary rock - Wikipedia

It was creationists that told us what was right.

The point is that your picture of how rocks are formed is wrong. Why not educate yourself.

The land around you, no matter where you live, is made of rock. If you live in a place that has good rich soil, the soil itself is finely broken down or weathered rock.

​

People that live in a desert region can easily find rocks on the surface. These rocks lay on a surface of clay that is also a product of weathering rock. Weathering is the process of breaking down rocks and minerals into smaller pieces by water, wind, and ice.

​

Sedimentary rocks are formed from the breaking apart of other rocks (igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary rocks) and the cementation, compaction and recrystallization of these broken pieces of rock.

The two sides of the argument are not equally balanced. One side is provably correct while the other is ignorant garbage that only religious cranks adhere to. He doesn't have an argument Phat, he has an assertion. That's why his replies to long and considered explanations backed by pages of actual evidence are single, contentless sentences.He has a single assertion which he will not (can not) produce any evidence for. So instead of producing an argument to support his assertion (that time was different in the past along with all of physics) he is forced to attempt shift the burden of proof to us. It's a tactic that only us fruitcakes would tolerate. The rest of the world just laughs and points.

Hi Juve, just so you know, this is a science forum so you need to provide evidence and sources for your arguments.Assuming that you're right that the earth has the most water in the solar system, why does that provide evidence of a global flood?

The water here isn't enough to cover the earth to a level above the mountains. I definitely would have noticed. I'm still not sure about that but it does seem totally irrelevant. I haven't heard anyone claim that the flood was on another planet, not here. I'm afraid it doesn't. Some water doesn't equal enough water.

Does it indeed. Can I have a source for that please?Just while you're finding that, are we working on the same time scales? Noah's Flood was about 4,500 years ago?How old do you think the earth is?

No thanks, it's up to you to make your case. Just explain to us why you think 'continental aggregation' can show that a global flood happened. Then you have me more than usually confused. When was the global flood that we're talking about? Generally it's supposed to be about 4,500 years ago

Cautious scholars are still working to settle a few final time tangles, but their success so far suggests that the Bible’s verifiable time stamps reach back even further than Abraham.4 The lifespans in Genesis 11 span from Abram back to the Flood. When we add the years listed in Genesis 11 to Abram’s birth year 2166 B.C., we get about 2472 B.C.
