Water isn't a barrier, it's a highway.

Cedros Island was connected to the mainland during the Ice Age because so much water was locked in glaciers. When the glaciers melted, the oceans rose, and much land was lost beneath the waves.

Fortunately, we are now in an Interglacial Period and the ice sheets have retreated (we’re still in an Ice Age, though). But the Radical Leftists still worry that the seas are rising and islands will either flood or tip over.

Whatever happens, I don’t really think it’s our fault.

Ok, I’m a high school drop out but I can’t figure out
how the seas could rise by 120 meters or about 350 ft
and yet...”stretches of the Alaskan and Canadian coasts that were spared the post–ice age flooding.”???

Are they saying the land mass rose 350 feet in unison
with the sea level???

Certainly voyaging along a icy coastal region would be
preferable to open ocean.

So all this claptrap about this land belonging to its first settlers is pure hokum. Settlers are settlers, regardless their origin or the date of their settlements. As settlements grew tose from other settlements went to war or moved in. Most earlier settlers moved in.
The garbage spewed about stone age Indians thrown off their ancestral land is pure racism. There are countless accounts of settlements merging and growing. orror stories are just that, horrible lies taught by racist liars.
Tearing down monuments to the heroes of prior ages is part of this same deceit.
Confusion abounds. The attempt to eradicate history is riddled with bodies. The fools who deem these desecrations morally imperative have no inkling of the horrors they unlease. Their own precious icons will be on the chopping block in due time.
One cannot erase history and denegrate ancient heroes without consequence. The price for these atrocities will be terrible.
Likewise, portraying civility and community building as rape and plunder is evil. Those who preach this evil will reap the whirlwind.

Chuckling every time the expert historians have to reevaluate their cast in stone proclamations.

Then there are the human footprints right next to dinosaur footprints in Glen Rose, Texas.

Those footprints are as genuine as the Piltdown man and the Cardiff giant.

^^^^^This-how could sea level rise 120 meters at one place and fall at some other place-bs unless the land rose very rapidly....plate tectonics or super quakes?

From the article:
“ As the glaciers melted starting about 16,500 years ago, global sea level rose by about 120 meters, drowning many coasts and any settlements they held...”

Funny, how that could happen when there were no SUV’s and
air conditioners, and coal fired plants back then? /sarc

The human tracks were carved or ‘enhanced’ dinosaur tracks.

Many of the original tracks were dug up and sold.

Glen Rose was flat broke and wanted cash from the tourist trade.

But it’s useless to argue with creationists.

2 Peter 3:8- "But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day." (KJV)

Written at a time when numbers above thousands would have been incomprehensible to the population. Today you can substitute millions or billions without confusing too many folks. God did it, in His own time, in his own way. But not in six 224 hour days or 6,000 365 day years, He has shown us the evidence of that.

But if you choose to believe otherwise, it is you God-given right, and I'll not berate you.
