Sorry for my delay. I was evolving my horses (well, training them, actually)
I was raised on a farm, and made my living for 29 yrs farming (livestock and crops). During that span I saw some pretty amazing things happen on the floodplain ground that we farmed. Depending on the amount of rain, and the velocity of the water, the floods would cut ditches and/or build muddy sand dunes, some as high as three feet with anything from tree branches to entire trees embedded. Sometimes there would be dead animals, but I never found one human body in my efforts to level the burms and remove the vegetation.
Has anyone ever tried to compute what a flood such as the one told of in the Bible would do? Is it possible that some undersea currents may have reached speeds of unheard of in todays oceanographic research?
All we have to do is look at historical floods. The post-glacial floods in southern and eastern Washington that created the Channeled Scablands are a great example. We can track the path of the floods, see seasonal movements of water, and get good dates on it all. And this series of floods is twice as old, or more, than the purported global flood.
If we can read the evidence for the post-glacial floods, not just in Washington state but in a number of places, should we not be able to track a global flood 4,350 years ago?
There is just no such evidence.
