[ForGod'sSake]

I think my point was to illustrate the spatial and logistical impracticality of the admittedly charming tale about Noah and his ark...

There are those who believe there have been any number of global or regional floods, some in historic times even. Evidence is all over the planet for such. Won't find it in any of the "prestigious" journals though. Doesn't fit the accepted paradigm of "gradualism".

Darwin himself was flummoxed by the calamatous nature of upheaval he found all over the world. This was ignored if favor of steady-state planet where nothing untoward ever happens. Imagine that.

Actually the “prestigious” journals do. You may want to familiarize yourself with J Harlan Bretz. As far as Darwin is concerned, he certainly drew some incorrect conclusions, many due not to an adherence to the dictates of gradualism, but a poor understanding of range of events that it may include. And without concept of tectonics, it's no wonder.
