Does the evidence support the Flood? (attn: DwarfishSquints)

Wow an entire broad field of physical science refuted by the 'ignorance is bliss' argument. Sorry national economies, military, educational institutions, Lucy says no more mining and drilling, no more water management, no pollution remediation, only the ignorant will be allowed to discover future raw materials.So, Lucy, are there any other fields of human endeavor you believe is trumped by your ignorance? medicine, physics, chemistry, or ahem...biology?One advantage to actually knowing what one is talking about is one does not look like a fool.My suggestion is read the first year geology text, then the chemistry one and the physics one. Your posts show an appalling ignorance of all three subjects.If your 'thinking for yourself' trumps even any subfield of these works, you will be awarded over a million dollars in Stockholm.

Hilarious, where to begin?1. There is no such thing as the Tepate sandstone. Did you mean the Tapeats Sandstone?2. There is no such thing as a sandstone formation that crosses the mid-Atlantic ridge. Nor are there any Precambrian or even Cambrian sandstones under any ocean basins. The Tapeats sandstone does not exist in the Williston basin in North Dakota nor does it overlie Precambrian formations in the Canadian Shield and/or Northern Minnnesota). In fact, I am pretty sure the Tapeats formation does not exist much beyond the southwestern US.3. The purported non-existent sandstone formation is difficult to date in time, for the simple reason it does not exist. At 545 mya The Tapeats Sandstone is from the Cambrian, not the Precambrian.I could go on but why? Please use Firefox, Google, or a dictionary for proper spelling, otherwise one has difficulty divining what you are talking about. Also, when referring to 'some geologist' please provide citations. I have known hundreds of geologists but have yet to meet any undereducated enough to state what you have ascribed to them except as a joke.Edited by anglagard, : a bit more clarityEdited by anglagard, : and/or

The Rocky Mountains do not 'float' on water because they are largely made of granite and metamorphic rock which has a density of around 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter, water has a density of 1 (it is used as the standard at 4 degrees centigrade) and cork has a density of less than 1, which is why it floats.Please see the following for further discussion of this scientific concept: Density - Wikipedia Once again, this is a science thread, please use citations to relevant sources unless you have done the research yourself, in which case please post your findings along with your experimental methodology.For example, I suspect the source of at least some of the above claims is Creation's Tiny Mystery by Robert Gentry but I could be mistaken. Perhaps it is someone who knew someone who knew someone else who read it, or it may be an entirely different source altogether. At any rate, please use citations.
