Is the Global Flood Feasible? Discussion Q&A

TC: Just for reference, Mark24's calculation of 400C (750F) exceeds the melting point of lead. This temperature, required by Baumgardner's theory that you're so enamored of, would quite effectively sterilize the planet. Unless you assume either a) goddidit, which you continually assert is "un-scientific" or b) Noah's ark was a spaceship that allowed him to escape from the planet into space, for which there is even less evidence than the biblical version (although it might make a good sci-fi story), there's no way this amount of heat could leave ANY survivors, including Noah - or even bacteria.In short, you either have to admit to supernatural presupposition, or reject the entire theory. (I think you're better off arguing with wmscott's dating, and going with his ice age surge/isostatic rebound - there's at least some minor, very questionable physical evidence he's managed to come up with. Which is a heck of a lot more than Baumgardner's got. At least wmscott doesn't need to boil the planet down to bedrock).

TC: You're going to have to do some of your own research. Here's the full citation: "Computer Modeling of the Large Scale Tectonics Associated with the Genesis Flood", John R. Baumgardner, PhD. Presented to the 4th International Conference on Creationism, 1994It's not difficult to look up citations, btw.

TC has come a long way from the early days. I remember a thread from last summer where he eviscerated a hovindite as well as any died-in-the-wool evilooshunist could have.
