Hehe. I would think you would have inferred that I don't even have the slightest notion.
So...your big evidence here--which you distinguish from a "story" is that someone told someone who told someone who told someone...?
Well, yes. It is a historical narrative maintained with unusual care. I fail to see how anyone in their right mind would fabricate such a story. Perhaps you could explain since you appear to be an arbiter of sanity. To see that the great flood narrative spread from generation to generation without any serious questioning until the Enlightenment makes it that much more believeable. The fossil record also seems to agree with a world covered by forty days worth of heavy precipitation.
You got a story about how this, all-at-once flood pressed these Grand Canyon fossils into a solid rock about 1/2 the size of 4 states, with a mile deep gash in it?
Why confine things to the Grand Canyon? Get back to me when you figure out what percentage of the earth's surface that has been mined for evidence related to the geological column. (Hint: it's really, really small.) For my part I will predict that, if/when it's mined completely, the evidence will fit in nicely with a worldwide flood that began approximately 7,150 years, 6 months, 3 days, 2 hours, 20 minutes, 18 seconds ago, give or take 40 days.
Hehe. I would think you would have inferred that I don't even have the slightest notion.
Ok, so we are bagging physical astronomy, as well. I suppose geology is next in your sights. What are we going to be left with after your grand sweepup--taxidermy and homeopathy?
So...your big evidence here--which you distinguish from a "story" is that someone told someone who told someone who told someone...?
Well, yes. It is a historical narrative maintained with unusual care.
Then I guess I can rest my case at this point.
The fossil record also seems to agree with a world covered by forty days worth of heavy precipitation.
Say it long enough, and loud enough, and before long, 10% of the world will swear that the sun shines black. Kindly take up my challenge and explain the hydrological principles by which a 40 day flood lays down the colorado plateau and cuts the grand canyon through it.

Aha, but when you make up a totally nonsensical story that conflicts with where the fraction of evidence that is available is pointing, why, that's airtight induction.
This is such errant total nonsense that even most creationists twinge and duck when someone like you comes along. No matter what fraction of the available evidence the Grand Canyon represents, there is no possible way for a flood to carve it, short of God coming down and tending to it personally with a sluce hose the size of Mercury, and army of trained rock-polishing angels.
Of course it will because any evidence will support the idea of a worldwide flood. It's not a scientific theory. Give an example of a piece of evidence that would refute the flood idea if I am wrong.
