Global Flood Evidence: A Place For Faith to Present Some

Have you considered what such a rapid rate of tectonic movement would do to the earth?If you are so inclined, then you might take a gander here at msg 96The amount of energy released in such a scenario would raise the surface temperatures of the earth to 100's of degree's. Never mind the effect of the canopy itself (Venus eat your heart out).

I think we should be able to move on past the "conspiracy" theory for the sake of the thread? Besides, I didn't take you for a conspiracy-type person, but one who was interested in advancing your understanding? Are mathematicians now involved in some evo conspiracy as well?

There is no way to test them as the whole thing is guessing, based on creationists' attempts to reconstruct the scene imaginatively from the Bible.

There are ways of testing the individual parts of the calculation. We can test and determine the amount of heat required to melt many types of rocks. We know how much heat (in joules) it is required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree centigrade. We can determine the density of different rock types, etc. The funny fact is, you can do those tests yourself and get a very resonable approximation of the answers without expensive equipment. You could do the calculations yourself. But sadly you seem more than unwilling to question your own position, and whether or not your conclusions are reasonable.While there are certainly more variables that could be added to the calculation to make it more precise, it would have such a small effect to the output that they are not worth putting in.I don't want you to abandon your beliefs in a Christian God nor do I think it is unreasonable for you to hold such a belief. In the face of reality though, I would think you could self-evaluate your conclusions and maybe realize that God can still reside in the very tenents of evolution and an old earth.

I thought I would add that Faith is suggesting that ALL the continents moved in her short period of time.

Faith,Have you ever considered the fact that what you are proposing has been suggested before? That this search for the 'truth' of the Noadic floods was searched for but ultimately found wanting? Those early pioneers of the field didn't have an evolutionary paradigm to "cloud" their thinking or bias their conclusions. It just didn't hold any water! (pardon the pun)What you are asking is for science to forget everything we have learned since then and do a "do over!" Many of those same scientists who searched for the evidence for the flood and other biblical evidence found none. It wasn't being hidden. There was no evilutionist conspiracy. It just was not there. Some could reconcile their faith with the evidence, some could not. Those that could were able to make startling predictions or present evidence that radically altered our view of the world. Science progressed regardless of and despite those unable to reconcile their faith.Nobody is ignoring what you are saying. We have been trying to tell you or get you to understand what it is you are looking at. We have tried to steer you to gaining more knowledge about what you are talking about. What you are saying is not complicated, you're right. But the fact that it completely ignores all evidence contrary to your conclusion, makes it simply and unequivocably, wrong.This message has been edited by DBlevins, 03-06-2006 12:28 AM

You implied earlier that there were no mountain ranges before the flood here post 104:

The mountains were raised after the flood, as I already said.
