Faith,
​
Comets won't leave the same isotopic evidence as metorites, they are dirty snowballs.

Faith,
​
But as you have learned, there is no evidence of a global flood whatsoever, & the strata that the bolides struck in are associated with mass extinctions. So it looks like they did have an enormous impact (pun unintended) after all.

Faith,
​
So please present your evidence of a global flood, collect you Nobel Prize on the way out.
​
Data supports "interpretations", or it doesn't. The flood model is contradicted on any & every level you care to mention. The standard scientific model has the advantage of no contradicting data & a much supporting it. This is just weaselwording so that you don't have to accept the weight of evidence because it is "interpretation".

Re: Not 6000 years, 4000.
Faith,
​
In this discussion we are taking the flood as a given.
​
No, we are not. I have asked you for the evidence that can be "interpreted" as evidence of a global flood. If you can't provide any, then you have no business accepting it as a reality, much less talking about it as a given here.

Re: What CAN be said?
Jar,
​
At the masses & velocities involved, it won't make one iota of difference. A body entering the atmosphere at 17,000 mph will take seconds to impact the surface (nearly 5 miles /sec), & due to the vast amount of energy released, it (the ocean) will be vapourised in a flash, literally, what isn't is simply displaced. The ocean makes very little difference to it.

Re: The flood as a given
Faith,
​
IF there was such a flood THEN the effects predicted in the opening post either would not have occurred or would not have had the devastating effects predicted.
​
And IF the flood didn't happen & mass extinctions were a corollary of the impacts, then we would see this in the fossil record. We do. If the flood happened, we wouldn't. A very simple evidentially informed choice seems to be in order. Of the two positions, one has data consistent with it & the other doesn't.
​
Combine that with a total lack of evidence for a global flood, & well, you get the picture.
​
