Evidence of the Great Flood has been found; or not?

[DavidFirth]

Interesting evasion.

What are you evading?

 

[David1967]

Unless you have some evidence to support your claim, then you're just logical fallacying and wishfully thinking all over the place!!

You can't prove that it's NOT a Martian Sasquatch that just looks like a mermaid.

Sorry but there is no evidence of the Martian sasquatch and mermaid interbreeding.

What are you evading?

Me? Nothing. I am attempting to get at verifiable truth through observation and testing. That shows no global flood happened during the times humans have been around.

On the other hand, *you* have been evading the conclusion based on evidence that the structures in the OP were NOT from flooding.

Actually, I choose to accept the evidence for the global flood that I had presented. No doubt I reject yours.

There is vast amounts of evidence of the global flood from Noah's day.

evidence of global flood - Google Search

The first link is Answers in Genesis, so I went for the second link; the Smithsonian.
It reads to me that it doesn't believe the evidence.

Oh, there are plenty more there that do.

It is not true that all people who accept fantasy as fact are safely locked up.
In my experience...
Some prove to be quite harmless, and live in fairy land.
And create threads about Genesis for this forum.

This reminds me of talking to profeticide people. They will look straight at elementary science and dismiss it because it doesn't match the beliefs that they are already attached to.

There must be a scientific theory about such people...
And a specific nomenclature for them.

Yes, but they are all creationist sites.

Your first two pictures are *clearly* wind-generated and NOT water generated..

Just saying it ain't so just does not cut it; no pun intended. If it was due to wind then a hurricane of sorts must have been whirling in this area for years which is in your words, not-likely

The third is water generated (see the river at the bottom?).

The river at the bottom is what remains after the flood. The crest of the slopping banks are miles apart. The top of the crests is where the banks of this flood were during the flood.

Floods produce a more straight-line type of erosion (sometimes branched)..

Please explain this "straight line" theory of yours?

Apparently you don't get out very much.

talking to yourself again? Don't be ashamed, talking to yourself is healthy. -

II can not believe any one could be so naive, as to base their faith, on having to believe that mythical stories are based on historical happenings.

If we are not decedent's of Adam and Eve then what; aliens perhaps?

What makes you think that hurricane force winds are required? Regular winds over long time periods do the same, and often more effectively.

The river at the bottom is what remains after the flood. The crest of the slopping banks are miles apart. The top of the crests is where the banks of this flood were during the flood.

Floods don't produce meanders like rivers do. The river was once broader and slower.

Please explain this "straight line" theory of yours?

You don't get meanders from flooding: you get washout. That often produces erosional branching, but not the curves you see in river erosion.

Why bring up the myth of Adam and Eve? We were talking about the flood myth.

 

[james dixon]

world-wide event, especially not of the size and scale depicted in the Bible..

The flooding occurred after the ice covering most of the earth melted.

The finding appears to add solid evidence to the theory of an ancient "snowball Earth."

The discovery hinged on proving that the right rocks had been covered by glaciers in the right place at the right time.

Study leader Francis Macdonald, an Earth scientist at Harvard University, and colleagues worked with volcanic rocks in Canada that were found sandwiched between glacial deposits. Such deposits are recognizable by the presence of debris left behind by melting glaciers and sediments deformed by glacial movement.

I WAS RESPONDING TO YOUR STATEMENT:

Adam & Eve are biblical myths in your view and yet the human race had to start somewhere. This is the connection between faith and life as I see it -

 

[Terrywoodenpic]

I would bet on aliens before I would bet on the adam and eve myth.
I doubt there ever was a completely recognisable first man and woman..
The precursors to their evolving, probably had many human like features long thefore the genotype became established as recognisably human.
Probably an Adam and Eve would have looked no different to their parents.

The flooding occurred after the ice covering most of the earth melted.

Ice ages (there have been several) formed and receded very slowly so even there would have been regional flooding as the glaciation receded but nothing like the "world covered in water" image of the Biblical flood.

Also, a lot of that flooding would actually be brief and fairly limited on a geological scale, which is why a lot of valleys around the world show evidence of being carved by ice rather than water.

I'm sorry but there is no evidence supporting the idea of a singular global flood and plenty of evidence directly contradicting the idea.

 

[james dixon]

I can't imagine a sadder fate than to be blind to reality. Of course there was no flood..

Just because you do not believe it does not prove it did not occur.

Not only was the ark without pedigree, it was without descendants also.

In my view biblical scripture was written using analogies to explain events in a form that the people at the time could understand.
