To your list of flood problems, add this:

Problems with a Global Flood, Second Edition, by Mark Isaak

Then there is also:

How Old is the Earth? A Response to “Scientific” Creationism, by G. Brent Dalrymple.


In my research in the western US, my colleagues and I have a good sequence of occupation for 10,000 years or more, with no evidence of a global flood. We are studying soils, not rocks and fossils, yet all of the creation sites concentrate on the fossils.

I can hardly wait to see how folks try to explain away 10,000+ years of continuous occupation of the western US, with the evidence easily read in the soils, and no evidence of the disruptions which had to occur if there was a global flood.

From your second link:

The time scale was independently confirmed and quantified by radiometric dating.
And how does that happen? Creationists screech about every error that was ever made using radiometric dating. Their bottom line is that dates derived from such means don't mean anything and are of no use.

But they clearly do mean something and are very, very useful. They tell a coherent picture and it matches the one told by paleontology and stratigraphy.

Why should that be?
