Re: The Flood... Again (sigh).
Hi Peg,
Dating IS iffy, different labs have given different dates... an example of such was in the Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania...
Can you back this claim up with a source please Peg?
that article shows that along side the mammoth fossil, they pulled up a "The hunt, involving 75 people, also unearthed the leg bone and vertebra from an Ice Age deer and belemnites, the remains of squid-like creatures from the Jurassic period, some 150m years ago"
I'm not trying to be an asshole here, but...
The above comment betrays a total ignorance of how fossils are found in situ. Nowhere in the BBC article does it say that the fossils were found in the same stratum. You know what a stratum (plural strata) is right? A layer of rock?
If the two fossils came straight out of the rock, both in the same stratum, now that would be problematic. But the article says no such thing. All it says is that mammoth and belemnite fossils were found on the same trip. In the same area, yes? In a gravel pit, where multiple fossils from multiple strata are all mixed together anyway.
It's not unusual to find one very old set of strata accompanied by a much younger set of strata. That's how stratigraphy works, by building layer upon layer. I recently visited a site in the Isle of Wight, where mammoths could be found in the strata from the top of the cliff, dinosaurs from the bottom. In one day, you could find fossils separated by hundreds of millions of years. This is quite typical. What you won't find however, are dinosaurs and mammoths in the same stratum and that's not what they found in your article. If they had, don't you think that the BBC might have mentioned this Earth-shattering news a little more explicitly?
Your link does absolutely nothing to challenge modern geological knowledge and certainly does noting to prove a flood. That you think it does betrays just how poorly qualified you are to be telling thousands of professional scientists that they are wrong.
no, my suggestion is that perhaps the earth is STILL flooded by water
It is indeed, but it has never been completely flooded, nor is that even possible.

Re: Supportive Evidence For The Possibility Of A Biblical Global Flood
Hi Buz,
I have resisted replying to your previous message due to Adminosy's cautionary note upthread. I have no desire to goad you into getting a suspension.
What I will say is this; it seems to be central to your argument that Earth's oceans pre-date its mountains. That would be a good place to start providing evidence.
