Re: reaching for straws
snakes, were all creatures not of the dry land,
Oh? Tell that to our rattlesnakes out around here. It's pretty damn dry land they live on.

Re: Snakes are good swimmers
Dammit, whatever! I stand in wonder! You are unstoppable! Logic or basic common sense have no hold on you at all! And it makes no difference to you how many things you say that contradict what your Book says, as long as you can have your flood. Your nickname is most aptly chosen!

or else the lack of rain in and of itself would have been a miracle.
You frequently see the literalist/YEC claim that it never rained at all before the Big Wet. And in any case, you must stack "miracles" up to the ceiling to explain the Flood anyway, so what's one more?

Re: fish loved it
But in general, God spared them, and had no reason to kill all sea life.
Are you trying to tell us that lobsters and acorn worms are somehow less sinful than those sorry-assed evil trespassing beetles and earthworms that live on land? What possible reason would this God guy have to kill all land life?

Re: do it with mirrors
There are pictures of about 20 little amoeba type sea thingies. So what?
So the folks that drilled the Monceaux #1 well west of Rayne, Louisiana were able to find 25 million cubic feet per day of natural gas by looking for the skeletons of Bolivina mexicana and not the skeletons of other forams. Each species shows up only in particular sandstones, you know. And young-earther ideas don't find much petroleum......

Re: flipped out
Well, why not try it anyhow, just in case there may be something to it?
This is my nomination for "most inane post of the new century."

Arkathon, why don't you try belief in each and every one of the other 8,743 gods people have dreamed up 'just in case?' Don't forget the Invisible Pink Unicorn......

Hi, TiL! It was pointed out that
Coral grows very slowly. There's simply no way that the coral reefs we have today could have grown in the past 3500 years.
That's only a fraction of your problem. Once again, I'm going to drag out El Capitan, the tallest peak in Texas. It has 1600 vertical feet of fossil corals/calcareous sponges, mostly preserved in growth positions - rooted atop each other. To fit this into 4000 years, you need coral to 1) grow at 3+ inches per year while 2) the water level rises to stay a few to a couple of hundred feet above the growth surface the whole time . Then, 3) the water has to recede to about 6000 feet below the base of the reef without 4) the Indians that lived nearby noticing that they had been living under a half-mile of seawater.
Like Ned said - details?
