Yeah, God is impotent in your eyes, I guess.How long would an olive tree survive completely submerged in water?
Evidence has been posted. Lol.How could a flood wipe out everything on this earth a few thousand years ago and leave absolutely no evidence behind that it happened?
Yes, the Earth would be affected….Nope. it would make absolutely no difference. Solar radiation levels do not affect decay rates *at all*.
Right.Ok, so less water is needed.
We aren’t told the percentages. But the ‘waters above’ could have existed far out into the exosphere, but just enough to keep the canopy suspended. It would not exert any pressure; it would be weightless.I still ask how much was atmospheric and what the affect would be on air pressure. That is why I *underestimated* the layer as corresponding to one only half a mile deep. And such a layer would add the equivalent pressure of going under water half a mile. That is a huge effect.
My nonsense? Your attacks have no meaning…and your link provided no answers.…your nonsense…
I made no "attacks". I only corrected ignorant mistakes. You had no reply to that. And what did you not understand?My nonsense? Your attacks have no meaning…and your link provided no answers.
Man, I await the day when you will find out the truth! I only hope you’ll be willing to change your attitude.
I think you’ll be given the chance. (Though it will probably mean you were resurrected.)
If I make it, I’ll look for you.
@John53 Yes, it was a divine event.
That being said….
Not by you. You do not even know what is required to have evidence? You have no excuse. You have to know that you are wrong. Why do you persist in making claims that you yourself have to know are false?Evidence has been posted. Lol.
Yes, the Earth would be affected….
Excerpt from Wikipedia, Radiocarbon Dating:
“The method….was developed in the late 1940s at the University of Chicago by Willard Libby. It is based on the fact that radiocarbon (14
C) is constantly being created in the Earth's atmosphere by the interaction of cosmic rays with atmospheric nitrogen. The resulting 14C combines with atmospheric oxygen to form radioactive carbon dioxide, which is incorporated into plants by photosynthesis; animals then acquire 14C by eating the plants. When the animal or plant dies, it stops exchanging carbon with its environment, and thereafter the amount of 14C it contains begins to decrease as the 14C undergoes radioactive decay.”
A huge source of Cosmic rays that bombards our Earth is solar-based radiation.
Right.

I'm not arguing with God.Yeah, God is impotent in your eyes, I guess.
So be it.
No.Evidence has been posted. Lol.
Crude demonstrations indicate that an olive tree would not survive two or three months of complete submergence.That's always baffled me, even if they had enough food on the ark for 12 months what did the animals eat when it was over. I grew up on a flood plain and water over the grass for a week is enough to kill it. That's not even taking into account the carnivores which would be preying on the pairs then starving death.
No. It shows the rocks to be old, not necessarily the mountains.Radiometric dating, the kind that you just said that you do not have a problem with, shows even young mountains to be tens of millions of years old.
Don't misrepresent my position.
Is the power that God has, “magic”? I wouldn’t think so. (It doesn’t take magic to bring animals to someone.)Then why bother with the flood at all. Getting to pick and choose things that happen by magic is a massive cop out.

Calling it “magic” just sounds like an excuse to ignore it.
Maybe that would be the best course for you, to just ignore this thread.
Incorrect. The rocks too. Are you forgetting that volcanic activity often accompanies uplift?No. It shows the rocks to be old, not necessarily the mountains.
Some of the high-altitude ranges we have today, probably existed before the Flood (the Bible doesn’t say), but were not as high (which the Scriptures do indicate, at Psalm 104.)
How can I ‘misrepresent your position,’ when you’ve never defined what your position is? By your own statements, apparently you think God is not really powerful; you keep trying to apply natural methodology, to an obvious divine event. In so doing, you are ignoring the evidences that
resulted from it. Like the cultural legends it inspired, both about the Flood & the myths with the common thread of the ‘gods sleeping with women’; like the lack of the 1000-sq-miles of debris from the Grand Canyon (which the Flood washed away) and from other areas; the mammals’ remains within the Permafrost (some of which have been discovered extremely well-preserved); the Festival celebrations of the dead from various cultures, held around their respective dates that coincide with the same time of year as the Flood. Etc.
That’s a lot of coincidences!
I’m just not that naïve to accept them as such.
When you grasp what 1 John5:19 & Revelation 12:9 is telling us, then you’ll have a better understanding of my skepticism about what is “accepted.”
SZ goes on about “testable hypotheses” and how there’s no evidence without it, but I bet you have no qualms “accepting” the explanation of how the Earth was formed & how it established an orbit ‘by natural forces’.
Science posits a scenario that has no support from “testable hypotheses.”
But it doesn’t stop them, though.
Lol.
Here is a weird idea. Why not try to learn what qualifies as scientific evidence? Then you could answer him with evidence and not insults.Is the power that God has, “magic”? I wouldn’t think so. (It doesn’t take magic to bring animals to someone.)
