I'll look for some tree-ring data for that time.

No, a comet did not cause the Flood. That would imply that G-d created it and set it on its cataclysmic journey many years before there was a sin to punish.

I find it interesting that they don’t dispute the fact that there was a flood. But like every other secular “scientific” organization or publication they discount the possibility that it was caused by divine intervention in mankind’s history. The y thus break with science in that they do not explore every possible cause.

Your map shows a discomfiting concentration of large impact sites in North America, east of the Mississippi, moreso than any other place on Earth.
To: P8riot
no, what they are doing is useful. This is just one piece of the puzzle.

Maybe because the searchers look hardest where they have to travel leastest. Or, maybe it’s just that the searchers prefer the cheaper, decent hotels and lodgings in that area.

If you believe that God is sovereign, and that he has pre-ordained history. He predestined mankind to sin and planned for the punishment as well.

I prefer a very small chevron to a very large chevron. Thank you very much.

that takes away from free will. not fair to be punished over something you were forced to do.

That would imply that G-d created it and set it on its cataclysmic journey many years before there was a sin to punish. The God of the Biblical flood is all-knowing, and exists outside of time. So, there is no "before," other than from our own, linear, historical perspective, which even science is beginning to admit is more akin to an illusion.
To: ari-freedom
Mankind had been around for about 1400 years when the flood happened. According to Genesis, there was plenty of sin to judge.

Immanuel Velikovsky already had this idea in the 1950’s. See his works: Worlds In Collision, Ages in Chaos and Earth In Upheaval.

yes but they wouldn’t be punished by the flood

And you don’t think that God could have done that? My
God is bigger and better than your God, in that case. (if God IS God, He would know the future as well as the past)

The Bible describes a deluge for 40 days and 40 nights that created a flood so great that Noah was stuck in his ark for two weeks until the water subsided.Just a minor point, the Bible says the water didn't subside for 150 days. I'm wondering where did he get the two weeks?
