My two favorite topics.
Global flood, eh, Clownshoes? Rough ride for Noah in a wooden boat stuffed with animals and dinosaurs.
But, let's back up a sec. Before you can carve the Grand Canyon you've got a water problem to solve. It appears that in order to flood the planet with enough water to cover the mountains (and I'm not going to quibble with you that Mt. Everest was "a lot shorter then than it is today") you pick the depth.
You need about 600 million cubic miles of water more than there is on the planet. That's roughly the area of Texas to a depth of 300 miles, to give you a visual.
So, where did all the water come from?
And, more importantly as this bears directly on Grand Canyon carving, once the planet was completely covered in water, how did it drain?
Oh, and that "poisonous atmosphere" you commented about, that's called Academic Freedom. I thought you supported that. |
And why is there only one Grand Canyon and why that particular location? |
By the way, and I know this is late, but I just want to say that this is a bloody good question that should be used a lot more. It cuts right to the heart of the glib superficiality of the creationist claims.
Khan, your prize is 4 quatloos, 1 internet and absolutely no goes on Arden unless you really want to.
