if an animal drowns, then (allowing the body's variable flotation during decomposition) it settles on the bottom on its side. Perhaps you can tell me who came along later and stood them all upright, and why?Global Flood evidence:
1.Vast herds, comprising perhaps millions of grazing animals, discovered within the muck fields by gold hunters in the Alaskan and Yukon regions. In the Siberian permafrost, a few have been discovered upright, with food (delicate flowers like buttercups, that only grow in temperate climates) discovered still unchewed in their mouths, like the Berezovka Mammoth. (They died instantly, not from a slow-moving ice age!)
Let's leave aside the fact that Noah's flood is based on the belief that the earth is flat with (as Genesis says) water above it and below it, which explains where in the story the water came from and where it went. Instead let's apply the rules to the real world.The question is raised — and properly so: “How could a Global Flood cause such freezing temperatures?”
So how could a Global Flood cause such freezing temperatures? Good question! It couldn't!
Let's say the rain falls from a starting level higher than Everest. That's over 8,850 m / 29,000 ft, so the rain falls at least 9 km / 5.5 miles (at least on Day 1). And the rain covers Everest in 40 days or 3,456,000 seconds, so it's falling all over the world at the rate of 1 inch / 2.5 mm per second.
What's the potential energy of that rainfall? I find on the net that "the potential energy of a cubic meter of water (1000kg) in a stratus cloud at 2000 m of elevation is about 20 MJ, or 5.5 kWh" but that much of this energy is lost through friction with the air.
In the Flood we get a cubic meter of water on every square meter of ground every 6.66 minutes, and let's say the surface of the earth has an area of 510,064,472,000,000 m².
My goodness, that's a LOT of energy ─ an UTTERLY COLOSSAL amount! ─ being released every second for 40 days! Everything would burn, or be scalded to death, rather than drown! And that includes Noah.
(Feel free to correct my maths and inputs ─ that's a quick'n'dirty calculation ─ but the principle is correct.)
We can talk about the rest when you've explained this part of it.
