Too Many Meteor Strikes in 6k Years

I've had another look at the opening post of this thread and, while it does seem a bit garbled, it seems to be suggesting that the number of detected large strikes occurring over 6-10K years would have wiped out humanity. I have to say that this does make sense, since humanity would have been "in at the beginning" so to speak if we take the Genesis version of creation literally.Faith, you're proposing an even more extreme scenario - that all of the mega strikes happened in a single year!!! To back this up you're going to have to tackle the physics of meteorite strikes of this magnitude and that doesn't belong in the faith section, it belongs in the science section. You can't just take the flood as a "given" - its up to you to provide evidence that numerous huge meteorite strikes in water wouldn't have par-boiled Noah and his floating menagerie.I'm enjoying the science in this thread so far and I would hate to see it disappear into faith section where the science stops and the wild guessing begins.

Thank you Brad. I've got the site bookmarked for further reading.

Faith, you may find this web site usefulhttp://www.lpl.arizona.edu/impacteffects/You can look up some historical impacts then plug the parameters of them into the boxes on this site and get a description of the effects. A 10km meteorite impacting in water of 1000m depth causes problems at a distance of 1000km and we're not talking little effects. For example, there seems to be enough heat generated to ignite clothing, trees and grass and most of the body suffers third degree burns. You can play with the parameters, altering the distance from impact site to see how far away these rather lethal effects will be experienced. You can change the depth of the water, the size of the meteorite, heck, even its composition.This might help you to formulate your theory in more scientific terms. Enjoy!
