Noah's Flood...

You are ignorant of what I just did to Nicole Kidman.Genesis Veracity wrote:X, you are still ignorant of the mechanics of the GFM, . . .
Neither claim is valid or relevant without evidence.
You can spout argumentum ad ignorantiam with increasing pique until Essan wets his pants and Marduk is overcome by 'the vapors," but the fact remains you have nothing. You bring nothing. No theory makes the impossible possible. You may have a nice theory that you refuse to share that make you think you can fly by flapping your arms.
Irrelevant to your impact on the concrete.
Either you denounce the biblical Flood Myths or discard whatever your theory is to justify them. We have already proven the Myths are impossible even under the kindest and forgiving of circumstances.
You lose.
If you learn from your mistake, you might win something. However, I fear your stubborn devotion to the comfort of ignorant complacency will win out instead.

You are not a geologist in the least. You took undergrad courses in Geology.Genesis Veracity wrote:Frank, try googling Kurt Wise, Russell Humphreys, and John Baumgardner, pretty pedigrees, and don't forget, I'm an Ivy League geologist myself (just a B.Sc.), and think about the many others out there who are closet cases, the many practicing geologists who see catastrophism in the geologic record, but can's say the N word, Noah's Flood.

You may have cinnimon with the latte.Genesis Veracity wrote:And besides Ed, what if I didn't have a geology degree from an Ivy League college? I've studied the history and geology of the earth diligently for over 15 years, does that count for anything in you mind?
Had you bothered to study the texts you proport to support, you would have received some nutmeg.
In other words, no one cares what someone out in the "great aether" that is Al Gore's Internet claims is his authority without theory backed by solid evidence. Crap is crap whether it comes from Stephen Hawking or Tom Cruise. Period.
In other words, unable to defend your position--made untenable by reality, granted--you are trying to fall back on your "authority." Even if that was not a fallacy, your authority is lacking. You have demonstrated singular ignorance of the subject you claimed to have studied "diligently." If I claimed to be a Professor in Biblical Archaeology, and Minimalist asked me what I thought of the "digs" in Megiddo, and I responded with "what?" I, too, would be laughed at.
In other words, you have been:

P.S. Ever the optimist--the glass is merely half-dirty--salvation awaits you. You may leave the stygian darkness of ignorance and walk into the light--not THAT light! That is a train!--the light of . . . of . . . of . . . [Enlightenment--Ed.] enlightenment! You may correct your ignorance of geology by merely opening your mind to science.
Same with biblical scholarship.
Same with any subject.
Or, you can do what you are essentially doing now, which is bury your head into the sand on the banks of DeNile.
The choice is yours. . . .
You have a choice: you can either hide in England or be a hero in Spain. I will give you the chance to be a hero. Today we had a skirmish, tomorrow we have a battle! Have you ever seen a French regiment? It is not a pretty sight! What you do is up to you!

No. You have a degree, that's it. Do you introduce yourself as a Geologist? That is really dishonest. Somehow when one enters the rhealm of christian fundimentalism that seems to be expected.Genesis Veracity wrote:I am a degreed (college) geologist, ok with you?
