Stop trying to weasel out of your mistake by putting words in my mouth.
You claimed that Ararat was on the Arabian Plate. You got that wrong, along with much else. Grow a spine and admit your errors.
I said the "relevant portion of Turkey described by the bible is the Arabian plate".
You replied "no its not". At that stage I was not referring to Mt Ararat, I was referring to the "relevant portion of Turkey" and so I was not weaseling out of anything.
Doesn't say that it's on the Arabian Plate though does it? The uplift was caused by the plates colliding, but Ararat is still part of the Anatolian block.
You are correct, Mt Ararat is on the Anatolian block.
No, it absolutely does not mean that. It simply means that your theory is wrong.
The Bible is talking about Mt Ararat, the same Mt Ararat that we see today. The reason that your PT Flood fantasy doesn't align with the Bible is because your theory is wrong. But instead of admitting this, you blame the Bible.
.
This is what the bible says, I cherry picked some translations to illustrate my point:
Wycliff bible:
4 And the ship rested in the seventh month, in the seven and twentieth day of the month, on the hills of Armenia.
NIV:
4 The ship rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on Ararat’s mountains.
Douay:
4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, the seven and twentieth day of the month, upon the mountains of Armenia.
The truth is that your notion of human settlement on the Arabian Plate is nonsensical. That plate has been flooded many times over. It was flooded in the Triassic, it was underwater during the Jurassic, it was underwater during the Cretaceous. The very notion of human habitation there starting in the Triassic is ludicrous! The reason why your theory doesn't fit the tectonic evidence, doesn't fit the fossil evidence, doesn't fit the Biblical narrative, etc, is because your theory is wrong. It's really that simple
In what manner does my theory not fit the biblical narrative?
As for the repeated flooding, please put forward your evidence of the entire plate, including the levant, being flooded during the Cretaceous.
The Biblical narrative has birds as one of the Earliest creatures. The reality is that there are no bird fossils before the Jurassic. To prove your theory, you need to show evidence that birds existed before the PT boundary; not just immediately prior to it, but going back hundreds of millions of years before it. You have provided no rationale for this, not even one of your trademark excuses.
I am not trying to prove a flood. Just quell the notion that the biblical flood has been disproven. The birds would have been in the more moderate northern latitudes at higher altitudes before the PT boundary. Insects dominated the lower latitudes. After the PT boundary they would have been restricted to tiny populations in Turkey and the Levant during the Triassic/Jurassic. Under compressed timeframes not enough fossils to show during the Triassic/Jurassic.
I already posted a link that showed that some scientists predict a pre-boundary biome in northern latitudes similar to modern biomes, containing origins of modern organisms so the concept is not absurd.
No you haven't. that is a misrepresentation of the studies cited, which only deal with plants. You need to do better than that.
I agree that the studies only dealt with plants, I wasn't deliberately trying to misrepresent those studies.
My point is that the concept of a pre-boundary biome containing modern flora is already supported by some scientists. I am saying that under compressed timeframes, its possible that same biome could have contained modern fauna, not just modern flora.
Are you having memory problems? I have already showed you that this is a fantasy
The Siberian plateau is largely covered by basalt rock, and is relatively under researched because of remoteness. This is the reality.
Sorry squire, but scientific enquiry doesn't work like that.
It's not "Prove me wrong or I'm right by default!". You have to prove your own theories right by providing solid positive evidence. If you can't do that, then you have nothing but hot air.
Fine, I can't prove that is where the pre-flood human fossils are, this is not the purpose of my participation in this thread. I am just saying that if you want to disprove humans before the PT boundary, this is where you would have to look for human fossils.
Some ancient myths eg Vedas, place the origin of mankind in Siberia. Once again, this is not any evidence, just something to think about......
The problem for you is that your theory demands a total wipe-out of life, followed by a radiation from a single point. That is directly contradicted by the existence of terrestrial life, all over the world, going right through the PT boundary. No wipe-out. No radiation. Even in the very earliest Triassic, there are terrestrial organisms - and not just amphibians or reptiles, but plants, invertebrates, and more - spread out, all across the world. That is the direct opposite of what your theory predicts. Time to grow up and admit that the evidence does not match your silly Flood theory.
The world shows some life directly after the Pt boundary, worldwide. This is mainly reptiles of amphibous habits, and various plants . I have already shown that various plant seeds can survive the flood. And then there is radiation from the MiddleEast/Africa (and India). The radiation is basically from northeast Gondwanaland to the rest of the world. The very criticism is the theory's very strength, reality of the fossil record is exactly what we would expect. As is mitochondrial DNA analysis, and more recently Y-chromosome DNA analysis.
