Noah's Flood...

[Guest]

Do I even wish to bother?

What the hell--Summons Seed for more wine. . . .

During the Deluge year,

40 days and 40 nights, Buckwheat. That is consistent in the J and P Flood Myths:

J: And the flood was on the Earth for forty days, and the waters multiplied and raised the ark, and it was lifted from the Earth. And the waters grew strong and multiplied very much on the Earth, and the ark went on the face of the waters. And the waters had grown very, very strong on the earth, so they covered all the high mountains that are under all the skies. Fifteen cubits above, the waters grew stronger, and they covered the mountains.

P: And there was rain on the Earth, forty days and forty nights. . . . And the water went on receding until the tenth month. In the tenth month, in the first of the month, the tops of the mountains appeared.

the waters which covered the (perhaps one mile-max elevation)

As above, both myths require coverage of the mountains--the P myth even more since it takes quite a long time for the waters to recede. Which, incidentally, makes feeding and cleaning the beasties all the more impossible.

From the calculations you should have read this requires an impossible volume of water to deliever in a 40 day period. Indeed, the greatest recorded rainfall would take 41,698,528,558 YEARS to meet the volume required by the flood.

Since the Earth is how old?

Quod erat demonstrandum. . . .

pre-Deluge continents were much warmer than today's ocean, . . .

Evidences?

Thanks.

Also irrelevant to the fact you cannot deliver that much water in the required amount of time.

You have also failed to provide evidence for this "Deluge."

Quod erat demonstrandum times two. . . .

Oh and . . . the heat required to do this would do what to the water--and those in it?

Also, you have just killed all of the fishies in the sea--you are required to deliver more water than is contained in all of the oceans.

That makes for a sad little Nemo. . . .

. . . as the "fountains of the deep" shot lava into the ocean

Contrary to the myth--the fountains release water. As previously demonstrated, if the Earth were hollow--completely--that still would not provide enough water to prevent the necessary rain from flattening the surface of the Earth.

Which, now that I think of it, would literally crush the Earth.

Hey Doctor X, what do you have against Buckwheat, don't you like his hair?

During the Deluge year, the waters which covered the (perhaps one mile-max elevation) pre-Deluge continents were much warmer than today's ocean, .

Why? Reference?

[Guest]

Mountain ranges of thousands of feet of folded sedimentary layers (with no radial tension cracks), and many thousands of feet of sedimentary layers covering the continents, says that the layers were layed atop what had been there previously, scoured and redeposited.

[Guest]

Mountain ranges of thousands of feet of Irrelevant Blather.

Do not ignore the fact that both Flood Myths require a volume of water impossible to deliver.

Reminds me of Holocaust Deniers who want to blither about "1,000,000" versus "500,000" amongst the bodies.

[Guest]

Is that you "Buckwheat?"

[Guest]

By the way "Doctor X," mountain ranges of thousands of feet IS this issue, so it can't be "irrelevant blather, your saying that is like saying horses have nothing to do with equestrian events, snap out of it.

[Guest]

I meant to say "mountain ranges of thousands of feet of Sedimentary Layers (with billions of marine creatures entombed there-in).

[Frank Harrist]

Ok, GV lets see some references or links or pics or something besides your word. Back it up.

[Guest]

Back what up, pictures of sedimentary layers composing mountain ranges? Just look at some shots of the Alps and the Himalayas for that, or to what else were you referring?

Before we look at some shots of the Alps and the Himalaya ,I suggest you take a crash course in geology,plate tectonic,geomorphology,etc.They might proove helpfull in making sense of what you see on those pictures .

[Frank Harrist]

During the Deluge year, the waters which covered the (perhaps one mile-max elevation) pre-Deluge continents were much warmer than today's ocean, so chalk and limestone formation happened fast, in huge volumes, as the "fountains of the deep" shot lava into the ocean through the rift zones, superheating the Deluge water locally, as sedimentary depostion occurred en masse, entombing billions of creatures, over 99% of which were simple, relatively immobile, sea creatures.

Almost all of the sedimentry strata (sans the deep pre-Deluge formations, upon which the Deluge strata lie unconformably) were deposited during the Deluge, and became hard rock soon after, as the continents thickened, and mountains uplifted, at the close of the Deluge, and the Deluge waters slid off the continents into the then deepening ocean basins.

What proof have you for these claims? It all sounds like pure conjecture. Do any geologists back you up?

[Guest]

Oh so explain to me how flat-lying sedimentary layers, containing billions of mostly small marine creatures, ended up composing mountain ranges of these, now folded, sedimentary layers, with no radial tension cracks in the folds, indicating the layers were still soft when the folding occurred, let's see that knowledge of geology which you imply you have.

[Guest]

Those geologists who are willing to think for themselves, who are willing to look at the big picture, and use logic, and there are plenty of those, Frank.
