Not quite - the hydroplate theory [have either of you even read it?] also posits the ripping open of the Earth’s atmosphere and causing the ice age. So the heat was offset by an immediate cooling. It’s possible there was a massive loss of sea life but the land, air and sea have been re-stocked fairly well considering a massive break in the Earth’s crust circumnavigating the globe.

That doesn't mitigate the damage do to physical pounding from the water. If you could attain "immediate cooling", then you've lost one of the necessary conditions that have been used to explain the fossils. An atmosphere cold enough to cool off that much hot seawater that fast would have frozen everyone and everything on the ark in no time. Every explanation seems to involve some nearly impossible physical extreme that's incompatibly with the explanations of other events supposedly happening at the same time.

If you could just read....

To experience the problems you are describing one would have to be near to the fault line. How near is conjecture [just like your comments] but the Earth is 25,000 miles in circumference fcol.

Also akaik the fossils were laid down primarily by quick burial under heavily sediment-saturated waters. How quickly the heat dissipated is not nearly as problematic.

There is only one reality and for my money God has described the key pieces to the puzzle in the Holy Bible - ymmv but again only one reality truly...

Possibly you’re still miffed that I never responded in a prior thread from last Friday. So here’s a few more thoughts for you to chew on regarding long ages...

Debunking people and websites is child’s play compared to debunking accepted facts.

Radio-isotope dating: I am not arguing decay rates. Sure they are uniform when measured under normal conditions. But we don’t have instruments to measure decay rates when these clocks are most likely reset - extreme temperature and pressure - usually vulcanic - or maybe a global flood.

Why do you think the 1980 Mt. St. Helens blind age dating tests could produce rocks over a million years old according to these tests?

Long ages and evolution has done more to shake peoples faith in God’s Word in our day. Science can never follow the scientific method when history is involved - most esp. when longer and longer historical ages are involved.

God created light before the stars sounds like an impossibility but when taken at it’s simplest it means the light is always older than the star it eminates from.

Also Einstein posited and proved gravitational time dilation. God says the Earth is the center of it all [I assume Universe here not solar system]. For me it makes sense that the center of the universe contains much more mass that the fringes which may in fact be expanding at or execeeding the speed of light.

I write code for a living. The cleanest code has clearly known assumptions, but the vast majority has to be implemented with many assumptions in place and most are not even identified as such. Science is much the same.

If the Earth is really that millions or billions of years old then it means the original sin of Adam and Eve did not bring death and decay into the whole of creation - I assure you when God says his 6 day creation was good it means perfect, spotless, flawless ~ no death nor decay of any kind.

I’m OK with agreeing to disagree, but I’ve learned we are all on very shaky ground when anything clearly contradicts what God has said. The end times will be similar to the days before Noah entered the Ark.

Just ponder these thoughts and continue reading God’s Word. I not worried about any true believers nor the destiny but I am greatly concerned for those who currently follow and believe the father of all liars.
