Old Earth Flood Geology

It makes more sense that tremendous amounts of water reside under the trenches is more supportive with the hydroplate theory than the dense subducting tecktonic plate theory.

1. Just because an alternative theory makes more sense to you doesnt mean it's correct. Much of quantum mechanics is counterintuitive but the evidence is clear so it must be accepted.2. Why is density such a difficult thing to understand? It's a basic physical concept and explains this process quite well. The heavier plate will subduct under the lighter plate. It also explains why plates of nearly equivilent density will collide and force material upward which is what the Himalayas have been doing for the past 70 million years as the Indian subcontinent has been smashing into asia. Density isn't the whole story either there's also the processes driving the collisions such as the convection currents in the mantle which pulls on subducting plates, aiding in the subduction process.Edited by CACTUSJACKmankin, : Format fix

It could be that the earth is still trying to re-equalize from the biblical flood 5400 years ago that is driving the rising Himalayas.

That of course assumes that there was a global flood 5,400 years ago. The geologic record is curiously absent of any global uniform flood deposit that is 5,000 years old or any age for that matter. If there was a global flood don't you think that geologists would know it?

So the reason that what would amount to the greatest geologic discovery in the history of mankind is being covered up by the big academic conspiracy of scientists in order to destroy religion?You know, there are scientists all over the world who work for different institutions, yet none of these respected scientists stand up either? I'm sorry i don't buy the big science conspiracy theory.

Wait, I forgot about the “fountains of the deep”. OK, even though they are complete fantasy with no evidence to support them, even if they (somehow) supplied over half of the water

I have heard that this could be interpereted to mean hot springs and geysers which presents problems of its own. First the amount of water that could potentially be released by these springs is wholly inadequate to supply even a percentage of the water necessary. Also if that much water did come out of hot springs then the sulfur released would reach levels so toxic that little would be left to worry about a flood.
