None other than Leonardo da Vinci authored a refutation of the Flood Theory back around 1500.

What about the Great Flood mentioned in the Bible? Leonardo doubted the existence of a single worldwide flood, noting that there would have been no place for the water to go when it receded. He also noted that "if the shells had been carried by the muddy deluge they would have been mixed up, and separated from each other amidst the mud, and not in regular steps and layers -- as we see them now in our time." He noted that rain falling on mountains rushed downhill, not uphill, and suggested that any Great Flood would have carried fossils away from the land, not towards it. He described sessile fossils such as oysters and corals, and considered it impossible that one flood could have carried them 300 miles inland, or that they could have crawled 300 miles in the forty days and nights of the Biblical flood.

Ol' Satan must have had his hooks into Leonardo, big time!

Seeing as this is a conservative site and I'm, therefore, assuming you're a conservative, perhaps you'll understand when I say I want nothing to do with anything coming out of Berkeley! I've been there and done that! The depths to which Berkeley has sunk into liberalism and all that THAT entails is my bottom line rationale for not giving their teachings much authority (altho I'm sure some of their teachings are credible).

Does de Vinci's refutation from 1500 still hold in scientific circles these days? Seems as if some of his concerns must have been either factually confirmed or invalidated?
