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

The tepate sandstone is where i beleive the evidence of the global flood is.It can be tracked all across the united states and some geologist have suggested that similar formations can be tracked all the way across the atlantic into europe.Note they are precambrian,So every geologic formation above would represent the recovery and recolonization of life after the flood.The bible says the moutains rose out of the seas and the valleys sank.Some geologist have recently suggested that the rocky mountains rise instead of forming by plate tectonics like everst and other mt. ranges.In that scenario you could easily picture shallow sea organisms(cambrian)being covered by massive landslides and fossilizing even causing the extinction of many species.

Define all scientific dating methods?Im pretty certain helium diffusion,c-14 in diamonds,fossils,and coal seem to indicate a young earth.Even some genetic evidence seems to point to human origins ~6,500 years ago.Maybe your picking the dating methods that support your religion.

sorry about the spelling.I saw a map of the tepate sandstone and it did cover most of the U.S. but perhaps not every square inch of it.I saw a geology show recently on the sci-channel and they used a cork in a glass of water to show how the rocky mountains float and are pushed up by magma underneath them.

Oh no,i did it again didnt I? (Tapeats sandstone).

Your right dating methods are not the issue of this thread.The cambrian fossils are not what i consider victims of the flood,but geologic catastraphies after the flood.The bible says God will destroy all flesh from the face of the earth.So if i take the bible literally,as i shuold if i beleive any of it,I would'nt predict that any fossil evidence could be found of organisms of the flood itself.I will give you a scientific model that can be tested emperically,if you promise not to turn this into a "My dating methods are better than yours."Thanks.

All animals that breath the breath of life through thier nostrils went onto the ark.So it would have taken time for them to recolonize the earth.And if we look at the fossil record in the geolocic column we see it develop by the fastest breaders with only one problem for the model.That would be the therapsids,They seem a little too large and are found in huge numbers before we predict they should be found there.I havent quite worked out what they are for sure,but according to the model they must be fast breeders or many survided the flood by clinging onto floating debris.In a post flood environment we expect massive volcanism,which would produce less sunlight and cooler summers.In that environment we could expect fern like plants and pine like trees,Kind of like the rain forrest in oregon.And in the geologic column that is what we see,ferns showing up first.Im working on placing insects in the model as well.For a more detailed account see "The global flood" by Dr. Marc Surtees.
