I've been thinking about this ice cap issue, and wish to propose a solution.

​

Lets assume, first, that the ice caps pre-flood contained enough water to cover the earth. God, obviously, would have created them adequately for His purposes. Now, with not much thought it is apparent that these ice caps would have been enormous. Large enough, in fact, to deform the planet into something of a pancake shape. Here, we see evidence in scripture that such was the case. The world is, after all, described as something of a disk. We do have the problem however, that this scenario puts mesopotamia on the edge of the pancake so to speak. This, I believe, can be rectified with scripture by noting that the earth is also described as a circle-- obviously a reference to the extreme curvature of the earth in the regions of mesopotamia. At the appropriate moment, God caused millions of meteors to impact the earth, melting the ice sheets. Most hit the sheets directly but a few hit other regions, for what divine purpose it is not known. He also choose to mark the moon with craters as a testament to these great events. These massive ice caps melted catastrophically and the waters flowed over the earth. Such an event would so radically shift the gravitation center of the earth and weight distribution that the planet would flex into its now nearly global shape. However, before settling into a permanent state one would expect it to churn and wiggle like a water drop in zero-G. This intense geological activity is the source of our extant mountain ranges. Also note that this occilation would have been intense enough to through much of the water, once held in the ice caps, right off the planet. This flung-off water, perhaps being captured by Jupiter, thereby forming the moon of Europa. A further problem is also solved. This ejected water would carry away most of the heat generted by the meteor impacts.

​

I believe this to be an acceptable solution. Thank you all for joining me here today.

LOLMaybe you should copyright this before Kent Hovind plagarises it for his next 'lecture'.Brian.------------------
Remembering events that never happened is a dangerous thing!

I think maybe I'll publish and go on a lecture tour myself. Do creationist have groupies? I wonder.....

Yes they have groupies, however they all look like Gretchen Passantino!------------------
