The problem is, I would require substantial evidence.
You have not even looked at, commented or tried to debunk any evidence.
There is substantial evidence. What I started with you ignored. So you are not interested in truth. You have not been honest from the start and I find no reason to believe anything you say at this point.
When they don't understand how the flood happened, they can't see the evidence for it.
Pace palm. If a world flood happened, there would be massive evidence. Exactly ZERO of that evidence happened. However, myths about world floods happened in the Near East and the Hebrew writers heard them in Mesopotamia and wrote their version when they returned.
Understanding how a flood happened has no bearing on the evidence it would leave behind.
There is no good reason why it would need long time.
All geologists agree it does. Are you a geologist?
All findings can be explained by the flood theory, if it is understood correctly.
Please write a paper that passes the geology peer-review process and explain why they are wrong and how to understand it correctly. Then explain how you know this and what the correct way to understand it is.
Or, just admit you are making stuff up because you bought into the story and refuse to look at evidence against it.
Modern geology and flood geology
Modern geology, its sub-disciplines and other scientific disciplines use the
scientific method to analyze the geology of the earth. The key tenets of flood geology are refuted by scientific analysis and do not have any standing in the
scientific community.
[5][6][7][8][9] Modern geology relies on a number of established principles, one of the most important of which is
Charles Lyell's principle of
uniformitarianism. In relation to geological forces it states that the shaping of the Earth has occurred by means of mostly slow-acting forces that can be seen in operation today. By applying these principles, geologists have determined that the Earth is approximately
4.54 billion years old. They study the
lithosphere of the Earth to gain information on the history of the planet. Geologists divide
Earth's history into
eons,
eras,
periods,
epochs, and
faunal stages characterized by well-defined breaks in the
fossil record (see
Geologic time scale).
[111][112] In general, there is a lack of any evidence for any of the above effects proposed by flood geologists and their claims of fossil layering are not taken seriously by scientists.
[113]
But, it does not mean that everything we can now see is because of the flood. Angular unconformities can be for example because there were several phases of that flood and also because earth was not uniform before the flood, which is why the differences.
What does "not uniform" mean and provide evidence this was the case. Again, you are making stuff up.
Distribution depends on the situation. On a plain you don't have same things as for example in mountain areas.
Which would have NO IMPACT on the differences between the mountains in the U.S. The flood was a limited time and would not produce these vast differences in mountain erosion.
Funny you ignore that and talk about plains. Total dodge.
The problem with that is, it is based on certain assumptions that can be wrong.
No, it's based on radio dating which is accurate. Creationists will tell you it isn't and that carbon dating only goes to 50,000 years. They ignore all the other types, relative and all methods used to compare and find accurate dates.
OF course when they date a Biblical artifact suddenly you trust dating methods.
They just don't know how it happened. It does not mean it didn't happen.
It doesn't matter how it happened. A huge flood would still effect lower and higher rock layers the same. And they do know because it says so in the Bible. Everything you are claiming is wrong.
I think that is ridiculous claim. Firstly, rain clouds are not boiling, clouds cool planet, which is why some want to make artificial clouds to cool planet because they have the foolish idea that there is some kind of climate crisis.
What you think has no bearing on what an expert knows. It doesn't matter where the flood comes from, it's the water vapor that would rise and create greenhouse effects. All life would have been destroyed.
It didn't because it's just a myth.
However, the worst mistake is that people think the flood came only by rain. Yes, Bible tells it rained a long time, which obviously cooled the planed, as rain tends to do. But, Bible tells the water came from the "fountains of the great deep". Under the dry land (=earth), there was wast water resource. Most of the water came from there, not by rain.
Which makes no difference. There would still be a greenhouse effect from any flood, even a small flood. See below.
There is no evidence for a global flood, it's not possible to survive, and we know it's borrowed mythology.
Also all. life did not begin in the Middle East. There would be a clear pattern of life emerging recently and yet there are far older species all over the world.
You cannot explain the :
Erosion should be evenly distributed, yet the levels of erosion in, for example, the
Appalachians and the
Rocky Mountains differ significantly
Geochronology
Geochronology is the science of determining the
absolute age of rocks, fossils, and sediments by a variety of techniques. These methods indicate that the Earth as a whole is about 4.54 billion years old, and that the strata that, according to flood geology, were laid down during the Flood some 6,000 years ago, were actually deposited gradually over many millions of years.
Sedimentary rock features
Phil Senter's 2011 article, "The Defeat of Flood Geology by Flood Geology", in the journal
Reports of the National Center for Science Education, discusses "sedimentologic and other geologic features that Flood geologists have identified as evidence that particular strata cannot have been deposited during a time when the entire planet was under water ... and distribution of strata that predate the existence of the Ararat mountain chain." These include continental basalts, terrestrial tracks of animals, and marine communities preserving multiple in-situ generations included in the rocks of most or all Phanerozoic periods, and the basalt even in the younger Precambrian rocks. Others, occurring in rocks of several geologic periods, include lake deposits and eolian (wind) deposits. Using their own words, Flood geologists find evidence in every Paleozoic and Mesozoic period, and in every epoch of the Cenozoic period, indicating that a global flood could not have occurred during that interval.
[118] A single flood could also not account for such features as
angular unconformities, in which lower rock layers are tilted while higher rock layers were laid down horizontally on top.
[119]
Physics
The engineer Jane Albright notes several scientific failings of the canopy theory, reasoning from first principles in
physics.
Among these are that enough water to create a flood of even 5 centimetres (2.0 in) of rain would form a vapor blanket thick enough to make the earth too hot for life, since water vapor is a greenhouse gas; the same blanket would have an optical depth sufficient to effectively obscure all incoming starlight.
