Cretaceous—Paleogene boundary
Scientists know quite well what evidence for a worldwide event looks like when they see it. In the past, (65 million years ago for those who aren't blinkered zealots) an asteroid hit the earth, leaving behind a very distinctive iridium rich band. This band is found throughout the world, in land and marine rock formations.
If there ever were a world wide flood, there would be a similar unmistakable band. There isn't. Therefore, there never was a world wide flood.

It has always struck me as odd that fundies devote so much time and effort into trying to find a naturalistic explanation for their mythical flood, while looking for magical explanations for things that actually happened. -- Dr. Adequate
Howling about evidence is a conversation stopper, and it never stops to think if the claim could possibly be true -- foreveryoung

Re: Cretaceous—Paleogene boundary
You completely missed my point. I wasn't asking for an explanation of the iridium layer. I was pointing out that if there had been a world wide flood, there would be world wide evidence of it all at the same level all over the world. There isn't.

Re: Cretaceous—Paleogene boundary
I answered your claim about evidence all at the same level. The Flood made ALL the levels, there is not just ONE level where you are going to find it and that is one of the biggest bits of nonsense about this discussion that comes up. All you have to do is look at the strata in a road cut to see evidence of the Flood.
So, there's one iridium level, all around the world, but everything else is different in different places, and one event did it all.
I think we can all see where the nonsense is.
