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.
In the turn-key world that God handed to Adam, the animals, plants, and even the earth itself were made ready-to-go. For example, they looked like 10 yr old animals, looked like 100 yr oaks, and the ground looked old as well, supplying the organic matter to sustain the system. Artists make things that ‘look’ old all the time.
For me it’s no different than the miracles performed by Jesus Christ. He spoke and lepers were healed, etc.
Without faith it is impossible to please God.
