Ken Ham: Noah's flood — it was global

>>George wrote, “God did his creation in six days and on the 7th he rested. Days are defined as a complete revolution of the planet earth. Conceivable is that during the creation God didn’t start the earth spinning as we have it today until end of the sixth day. So if earth was almost stationary for six days those six days could have been centuries by today’s timing. Whatcha think?”

All things are possible; but how would you fit in evenings and mornings?

Most interesting! Fossil sea shells are found even at the top of Everest!

There is no doubt that the entire earth surface was covered with sea water, at one time or another. The structure of the geologic column leads me to believe that it was formed by a single flood. Additional data from the column points to the mountain ranges being formed while the sedimentary rock layers were still pliable, as follows:

Those are thick, folded, sedimentary rock layers covering the uplifted igneous or metamorphic rock.

I thought you were talking about Ken Ham, not Noah’s son.

[BipolarBob]

I don’t know what Noahs sons first name was. It could’ve been Ken. If he ain’t the same guy he’s probably related to him and it was passed down from generation to generation.

Short synopsis is this: The bible talks about the firmament above, and the firmament below. In modern science we have found planets with dense structures of gas in their atmospheres. If the earth had that at one time, it would be the firmament above. A mesosphere of dense humidity sitting on a stratosphere of denser gases above a troposphere of air. There is ample evidence that the plates that the continents move on are physically separated from the core of the earth (hence they still move and we have earthquakes). The theory goes that the separation was originally a layer of water that was trapped under the plates. The flood event was precipitated by something that shattered the two firmaments."

I believe you are referring to the Hydroplate Theory, by Walter Brown. This is a playlist devoted to his theory:

Great Flood Hydroplate Theory by Dr. Walter T. Brown, PhD

The 4th video is a combined series that goes into great detail about the science and engineering supporting the theory, whereas the 3rd video is a condensed view.

Dr. Brown received his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from MIT.

Appreciate it. Still not the program I was looking for, but same theory.

Not to be mistaken as being rude but a sincere question. Aren’t numerous comets contain ice?

[Sawdring]

If that’s what Ken Hamm thinks, then that’s the way it was.

[21twelve]

Another translation of “day” is “era”. As in “back in the day of the dinosaurs...”.

And the Sun wasn’t created until the third(?) day.

God is the Creator. The Genesis account is a story about that - it isn’t a science text. Although imho it sure comes closer than what we think we know than a lot of other creation stories.

“Let their be light”.

But this is before the stars and the sun were created. I think the “light” is energy. And then, using E=mc2, we get the mass from that energy.

I’m not a young-earth creationist though.

Aren’t numerous comets contain ice?

I've heard this claim.

I wonder where they were supposed to have originated?
