It's funny what evolution fail to realize about the flood that is factual. Almost every culture on earth has a story about one!

OK, here is a flood story for you.

I am an archaeologist with 35 years of experience in the western US. I have been in a lot of sites all over the west, but there is no evidence for a "global flood."

Rather, there is evidence for continuity--uninterrupted--of Native American populations for thousands of years.

A flood of this magnitude would be noticed! We have a "little" flood in eastern Washington, resulting in the Channeled Scablands, but that's just a leaky faucet compared with the "global flood." And we can see it just fine-we can define its boundaries, time periods, and cause. The global flood should have been much easier to find.

On the other hand, we have residential sites with continuous occupation on both sides of the dates suggested for the flood--continuous faunal and floral evidence, continuous population and cultural development, and continuous mtDNA on both sides of the dates generally given for the flood.

If you are privy to some evidence to the contrary, please share it.

If it is your belief you are relying on, fine. But don't confuse your belief with scientific evidence.

See, I have to stop right here, because I believe there is plenty of evidence of a Global Flood, I'll admit, I look at the evidence and BELIVE it to be so. The Salt Lake, Grand Canyon, Niagra Falls, all the oceans, almost every culture speaks of a flood...Plus the eye witness accounts in the bible. (There I admitted it!)

So your 35 years of ignoring evidence doesn't mean there is none. I love how you evo's pick and chose your evidence...it's laughable!
