Did the Flood really happen?

We're talking about the Biblical Flood here. If a flood was possible long before there were people on earth, that is not relevant to this discussion.

That's irrelevant. For the Biblical Flood to happen, the highest point on earth has to be covered, no matter what continent it's on.

Then that would have nothing to do with what you've been talking about. If you want to claim that the mountains rose up after the flood, you'll need evidence of that. That also is not what you've been talking about. If you want to claim that there was more water on earth during the flood than there was before the flood or after the flood, you'll need evidence of where it came from and where it went.

Science gets results like oil. Oil is not a question.

Evidence is always the first thing to ask for. Without evidence, there's nowhere to go. A solid model would be based on evidence. If your "model" is that the mountains grew up after the flood, I understand it. Now show us the evidence.

Oil itself is not a question. If you have actual questions about oil, somebody here may be able to answer them. A few of the early oilfields may have been found by "luck" but don't kid yourself that they don't need science.

You know the answer to that; it's the same answer that you would give: It was there the last time I checked and there's no evidence that it has changed. It's a scientific response.

Yes. We'd expect to see erosion in the layers UNDER the Flood-deposited layers. No. Mud doesn't fold. No. An earthquake can cause a tsunami but not a worldwide one.And the Bible is explicit that the Flood was caused by rain. Most important (to me) is that the Flood evidence would have to be EVERYWHERE. We have evidence for relatively small floods all over the world. Your challenge is to find evidence of ONE BIG FLOOD, not just evidence of "floods".

Start a thread. I don't think we have one specifically about oil "problems".

So you're done here.

Why don't YOU tell US what a flood is?

If you can't tell us what a flood is, you have no business claiming that one happened.

I did a quick Google, just for you:

quote:

---

A flood is an overflow of water that submerges land that is usually dry.

I can live with that. They don't give you the conclusions you want?

Sure you do. Even tides have a flood tide. Of course it should. ALL of the land that was usually dry was submerged (in the story, not in reality). You can't get any more floody than that.

Yes, that's exactly what we do. We have some salt lakes nearby that are flioded in wet years and dry in dry years. And yet it is. You just called it that yourself. Seems like a pretty useful definition to me.But what does any of this have to do with your supposed global flood?
