Well, he also forgot that the sky opened up, and the oceans of the deep, in the flood narrative. So there were catastrophic rainstorms, which would provide rushing water, along with large amounts of water coming from an unspecified number of openings in the earth’s crust.
And of course, the very miraculous act of “raising up the mountains” performed by God after the flood would itself have greatly changed the landscape.
Again, the problem is that science has to presume that NONE of these things happened, because by it’s nature it deals with observable, natural events. So even if a scientist KNEW that God raised a mountain up out of the ground, there would be no scientific theory that could take that into account.
On the day God created Adam, if a scientist walked by just after God left, the scientist would argue that Adam had been there for 20 years, and that the garden must have existed for decades before that, since there was a stream bed, full-grown trees with fruit on them, and fully grown animals of every species.
If the scientist came back a little later, and saw Eve, the scientist would argue that there were other humans elsewhere, that Eve must have made some journey from a distance, and that, since people have to be born from others, that there must be generations of humans that existed before Adam and Eve.
There would be no arguing with this Scientist, and if Adam truthfully told him that God had just created Eve by taking out Adam’s rib, the scientist would call him an ignorant Cretin, and note that there were no medical facilities, no scar, and no way a living woman would come into being from a bone of a man, since the chromosones would be all wrong.
Science is incapable of telling the truth about a miraculous God, because that is the NATURE OF SCIENCE.
But in the past century, the humanists have worked hard to raise generations of children who have no idea that Science is biased against God, and instead believe that, if Science hasn’t proven God exists, it’s because God must not exist.
That is what we fight here.
Then where is the evidence for what you stated? The Bible was an oral history and written down years if not centuries after it supposedly take place. None of what has been seen backs up your view. Is god so mean that he want to deceive us over thousands and thousands of observations?
The Grand Canyon was formed because the land is rising. The river has stayed about the same elevation. The river has eroded the canyon as the land rose about a mile around it.
The Great Lakes are getting shallower. It’s not because of “global warming”, it’s because the land is rebounding because of thousands of years of mile high glaciers depressed the land. The water for the glaciers came from the oceans. During the ice age, the Oceans were hundreds of feet lower.
