Glenn Morton's Evidence Examined

Just looking at that photo, you can tell that whatever happened, happened slowly. A quick and violent event would not create that shape it would just bludgen its way through.I was in the Norweigan fjords last week and saw the effect of the huge weight of ice ripping the mountains in two - no hint of a meanders. THAT'S what a you'd expect if it was possible at all.Personally I don't accept that water alone, in less than a year, could possibly erode that much rock. But if it could, it would not create a meander. We know how fast rivers eroded rock, we need some other real-world evidence to contradict that. As far as I'm aware we have none.Note steep sides. Edited by Tangle, : No reason given.

Ok take that meander - it looks pretty slow and gentle to me.Now imagine that flat landscape covered by 40,000 feet of water that suddenly has to drain away somewhere. I can't see why it wouldn't go out just like a tide. Unlike ice, it's properly fluid, it wouldn't gouge huge channels, it would take the least line of resistence, it would simply slide away frictionlessly until it got to ground level leaving a flatish landscape strewn with boulders and trees. A bit like what happens after a real flood:

The real problem you've got Faith isn't the rocks, it's the dates.Here's all the dating science that says that the earth is old. There's not much point worrying about what a lanscape is if your ideas are disproven before they start.

Weird then that England etc was separated from continental Europe by a melting glacier some 450,000 years ago. Edited by Tangle, : No reason given.
