Where Did The (Great Flood) Water Come From And Where Did It Go?

The continent began to rift apart during the Triassic Period, approximately 200 my ago, based on radiometric ages and geological relationships that show incipient rifting. Prior to that, North Africa and Eurasia were joined to North America. There is no other interpretaton of the data. Edited by edge, : No reason given.

I worked on the rocks that were deposited during the break-up of Pangea. There is no YE explanaton for them. I don't expect you would know about the geologic record here.

And you know this, how? Any evidence for this? Did the oil displace the water?So, your story is that the fludde waters were primitive (meaning the occurred at the same time as the earth), and they were somehow concealed from human observation, probably within the earth. Is that right?Do you have any evidence of such reservoirs? I cannot envision all of the oil reservoirs in the world holding enough water to cause a global flood. And if they did, there should be ample evidence.Can you give us some kind of a timetable on how this happened? I'm a little foggy on that part. Okay, we'll go with billions for now. Edited by edge, : No reason given.

Then I'm wondering where you hold the fact that there are deserts in the middle of your global flood?What about the evaporites, the termite nests, dinosaur tracks and a plethory of other evidences that show terrestrial life doing just fine in the middle of your flood?Isn't it true that you ignore these facts? Well, not all of them. Some want to project modern rates back in time indefinitely even though we know that the controls are variable through time.And then there are those past efforts that have been abandoned because they have been shown to make no sense.

Why so elaborate? Why not just propose normal sedimentary processes?

Rising mountain chains and eroding continents. Still small when compared with the size of the earth. There is no evidence for this kind of bombardment while life was developing on earth. Plate tectonics was alread going on and to do that you would need a fully developed planetary structure. Not necessarily. Some of the early oil discoveries were in oil seeps. There is no evidence to support an extraterrestrial source for the younger rocks on earth. Source materials are pretty well known for most of the supracrustal rocks, including the petroleum reservoir rocks.If you provide an example, we can explain it.

I cannot think of any age in which there was no land mass exposed to erosion.The oceans were already there, and plate tectonics was in action. This means that there was a lithosphere, a mantle, a core and a thin skin of sedimentary rocks on top. That means that the planetary structure was mature and little different from today. Search me. Genesis is irrelevant. It was a lot of water. And you don't question these 'ancient maps'?Edited by edge, : No reason given.Edited by edge, : No reason given.

Hunh? You are not making sense. Because that is where it was trapped. Oil migrates, by the way. Probably, but also irrelevant. And? What is your point? Let me guess: you're from Texas...But no, it is there because that is where it was trapped.

Only marginally. But that's not the point. Because I have studied the topic using a couple of textbooks on historical geology and stratigraphy. Besides all it would take is one example such as Permian evaporites, or Devonian conglomerates, or Jurassic sand dunes...Have you actually studied the geologic record? Or do you just believe what professional creationist websites tell you? Not relevant and not even true. Even if there were marine organisms in all locations, that does not mean they occurred at one time.This reminds me of one time when Fred Williams told us that the fossils in his back yard are the same as the ones on top of Longs Peak.What utter ignorance...And yet that is common in the YEC community. I didnt' say they were fakes. I said they are likely inaccurate. Do you think that people who carved maps in stone actually knew the world accurately? I am a skeptic.I always prefer to see the evidence. Creationists don't really have any.Edited by edge, : No reason given.

Well, it would depend on when you think you have a planet. I'm pretty sure there was an early bombardment period, but you are correct. Since the earliest history of the earth there have not been enough impacts to affect the mass of the earth appreciably.At present, I have heard that micrometeorites add a few tons of mass to the planet in a year. Really an insignificant amount, but they can be detected in some slowly deposited sediments.

Just to amplify a little bit... The BB codes don't work very well on this, but the source is here:Page not found – FESAus:Edited by edge, : No reason given.Edited by edge, : No reason given.Edited by edge, : Try to get codes to work...

Not exactly, but it is very possible. In the Los Angeles basin there used to be natural oil seeps at the surface. The point is that oil will migrate until it stops, and that could be at the surface.As oil production has gone on, we have ended up drilling deeper and deeper.

Apparently, your studies should continue. I am glad. Now, I suggest a college level class or two if you really want to know. This medium is not really conducive to detailed learning. I can see that you have fragments of information, but no framework to fit them into. Again, I am happy for you.

I'm not sure how that is possible. Perhaps you mean you are just 'older'? Yes, but it is not in an accesible form. Probably by accretion. That really doesn't bother me since it is not free water. Probably, but that is not my field. Most of the free water is under hydrostatic load. Virtually all of the bound water is lithostatic since it is in the mantle. Not really. That maximum pressure on a liquid would be lithostatic which calculates according to the formula here:http://www.usouthal.edu/...ison/GY403/LithoStressProbKey.pdfAs you can see, the pressure at 5km burial is about 1.5kb. Since a bar is about 15psi, you are already at about 22,000psi.Hydrostatic load would be a minimum pressure for liquid at depth. For a depth of 16,400' (5km) that would be about 0.5kb or about 7500psi.Realistically, the pressure on a liquid must be somewhere in between, unless it is artificiall overpressured. Your wellhead pressure 0f 10,000psi is not all that huge in geologic terms, and in a subsiding basin, where sediments are being compacted by the sedimentary load, this is not outlandish nor unexpected. Neither would they exist all over the world. No. There is no such thing as 'fountains of the deep' in the sense you use it. First, there is little if any free water in the mantle. Second, it is not connected by a plumbing system to get it to the 'fountains'. Third, there is no mechanism for it to go back into the mantle. In fact, I'm guessing that such a process as this, if there were one, might freeze plate tectonics.I am sorry, but your scenario is fantastic and scarcely imaginable only in fevered YEC dreams.

The point is that IC could have chosen a better example. As it is, he is only heaping ignorance on misinformation and we see another example in the most recent post. Now we have water crystals in the core of the earth.

Also, wrong is your answer. If there is continental crust at the bottom of the oceans it is an exceedingly small piece. Recycled seawater. This has been prety well established. Really, it is little different from terrestrial springs which are ultimately rainwater.You are too wrong on too many points here, IC. I think from this point is is clear that you are wasting our time with stubborn, uneducated assertions. Edited by edge, : No reason given.
