Stunning New Evidence of a Higher Ancient Sea Level

“somewhere near Salt Lake City in Utah, think it may have been west of there, there are mountains that rise above the desert floor. My father thought he saw a high water marks on those mountains”

Your father was probably correct. Salt Lake is the remnant of an ancient inland sea, with the salt concentrations being left from the evaporated ocean. The whole area was at one time submerged, and not terribly long ago as geologic natural history goes.

Bermuda has been as low as 300’ below sea level, and as high as 1400’ above in the last 300,000 years.

ICR is the refuge of complete crackpots.

[jeffc]

So the possibility of higher sea levels is simultaneously debunked (because the Bible say it was) and threatened (because of "glow-bull warming)?
How can the two opposing thoughts be in the same mind at the same time without a person's head exploding? Must be a liberal!

[GodGunsGuts]

The real crackpots believe that random mutation + natural selection can produce super sophisisticated bio-nano machines that merely give the “appearance” of design.

I thought everybody knew the UFOs took the water. Where the heck do you think the expression, "So long and thanks for all the fish!" came from. Man, doesn't anybody read anything anymore?

For all those who will outright disagree with the findings in this article, because of their presupposed ideas of what their trusted scientists say. The very same scientists who are trying to shove down our throats the idea that the world is suffering from man made global warming. I have only to say this, then I will leave you flat earthers to argue and debate your ridiculous millions of years of ape evolution to your selves.

The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." (excerpt from Psalm 53:1 NKJV)

[GodGunsGuts]

Actually, the author makes an excellent point: “This evidence does not fit with naturalistic theories of origins, which assume that presently observable processes were responsible for all past geologic events.”

Creationists are quite correct in pointing out that uniformitarianism is an unwarranted assumption with respect to the debate over origins and the age of the Earth.

This is a joke, right???

No, it's not a joke. The situation is dire. We may not survive the hour. Rescue is not possible; escape is not possible; resistance is futile.

We are under heavy, sustained bombardment from the Creationist Retards on one side and the Environmentalist Retards on the other.

Surrender Now! or forfeit the remainder of your brain cells.

[GodGunsGuts]

The words creationist and retard are mutually exclusive. You must be referring to the Evos who who make daily sacrifices to the bearded Buddha of naturalism at the Temple of Darwin.

[GodGunsGuts]

What are the odds that the vast majority of the global warming alarmist scientists are Temple of Darwin fanatics? LOL

So it was part of the ocean because it was salty, I knew we were on great salt flats, very level which is why they are useful for test driving. Don't know why I jumped into a subject I know next to nothing about. It would be more interesting if I trusted retrogressed data more and there weren't so many conflicting theories to sort through.

I was studying a map of the Caribbean last night, and there are so many archipelagos, you know there were likely land bridges at one time or more mass to the islands. That would tend to argue that either the land was higher and sank or the ocean was lower and rose. Could be both during different eras. Same in that England may once have been connected to Europe by a land bridge. Oh heck, I do rather believe in the continental drift theory, which makes one wonder if all the land mass was once concentrated.

Why is the Dead Sea salty while the Mediterranean is freshwater? This is raising too many questions. Why is the ocean salty at all? Must have to do with massive salt deposits at one time. What caused them? I can't afford to get too diverted right now, but there are so many things I don't know and never thought to ask or read up on.

Once I did try to figure out how many existing inland salt water lakes/seas there were and could only think of two, the Dead Sea and Great Salt Lake, but I think there were more. Amazing planet we live on.

The myth of a great flood is the most common of all stories told or written by ancient and contemporary indigenous peoples. There is no culture on earth with a written or oral history that does not have a flood myth, and not only a flood myth, but an account of a series of events that unfolded in a proscribed manner. Read “Hamlet’s Mill” by Santillana and Von Dechund, research the terms “world mountain” “world pillar” “axis mundi” “tree of life”. Tales of the destruction of the earth by celestial “dieties” occur in the Popul Vuh, Vedic texts, the Pyramid texts, Sumerian and Babylonian epics, Icelandic sagas, South Seas Islanders legends, Chinese legends, Amerindian legends, the list is huge.

Myth is history, often disguised and layered, but history.

I will be over conservative in my guess and say that probably only about 95% are.

What really stuns me is all the conservatives who agree with these scientists and defend them so vigorously. Then when these same scientists come up with some junk theory to explain global warming these guys will attack them by calling them brainless idiots just looking for grant money.

Brings to mind what Paul told Timothy,

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. (2Timothy 4:3-4)

Siantists is stoopid — placemarker.

It’s also why the worlds largest salt mine is 1700’ below Lake Huron.

[xcamel]

“great floods” are not a myth, but that particular one has suffered from a great deal of deistic embellishment.

What pray tell does that mean?

Interesting. Raises more questions, of course :-)

[jim_trent]

I have read several books about 1066 and have never heard that one. Do you have a source I could read?

[dirtboy]

Why is the Dead Sea salty while the Mediterranean is freshwater?

The Mediterranean is freshwater? That's news to me.
