flood is such a joke.
all that water in the sky? how did the sun get through? How did people even see the stars/moon/sun as signs for dates and years (as stated in creation account)?
wheres the layer of sediment that circles the globe as evidence of a flood? Every event in history is recorded in the layers below us. What about the flood?
How did a single tree survive? what about the Bristlecone Pine?
A specimen of this species nicknamed "Methuselah" located in the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest of the White Mountains near Bishop, California is 4,700 years old, as measured by annual ring count on a small core taken with an increment borer. Its exact location is kept secret, since an older specimen, nicknamed "Prometheus", was cut down in 1964. [ 2 ] It is the oldest known tree in North America, and the oldest known individual tree in the world, although a clonal individual, nicknamed "Old Tjikko", a Norway Spruce in Sweden. [ 3 ] [ 4 ]
Among the White Mountain specimens, the oldest trees are found on north-facing slopes, with an average of 2,000 years, as compared to the 1,000 year average on the southern slopes). [ 5 ] The climate and the durability of their wood can preserve them long after death, with dead trees as old as 7,000 years persisting next to live ones. [ 5 ]
what did noah and his family and all the animals eat when they got off the Ark? Did Noah butcher any species? What did cows eat? Dead salt water fish?
how about the fact that the "27 Kinds" (or whatever the number was) of animals that the org always refers to was from biologist quoted over 150 years ago. How about that even if there were only 27 "kinds" of animals there is absolutely no way we could have the diversity amongst the "kinds" that exist today. There is simply no evidence that the flood happened. None. Kinda like 607 BCE & 1914. (and 1919)

Fresh water fish would die in salty waters...
Yes, and salt water species would have died with the massive desalinization of the oceans. So would have species of coral, sea urchants, and numerous ocean plant life - not to mention all of the ocean water life such as plankton and microbes which shrimp feed off of. Of course getting into long discussion about the scientific impossibility of a global deluge is beating a dead horse - somewhat like discussing the falsities of a flat earth. Those who still attempt to promote the scientific plausability of the global flood only make themselves look silly.
Alan F - who used to post on this forum wrote what I believe is the most well-researched and comprehensive analysis on the global flood story. I believe it is about 120 pages that can be downloaded off of his blogspot page; that is if he still has it. He also wrote a very good analysis of the Watchtower's book: Life How Did It Get Here - By Evolution or Creation. (do a Google search for Alan Feurbacher - global flood). It makes for some very good reading.
