Have you ever studied the effects of any recent local flood? It would either answer your questions or, more likely fill your trivia prone head with a thousand more.

If you don't know what I am talking about or are incapable of providing a sensible answer, please say so.

I'm still waiting to hear how microfossils can be sorted so neatly in the chaotic waters of a flood. *twiddles thumbs*

Yes, during several field trips in grad school. Google "channeled scablands" to learn about the huge flood that washed through eastern Washington state at the end of the glacial episode (actually several times). Been there, studied that.

But have you ever studied the effects of such a flood, or is your learning all from books?

There are some very good websites on this subject (no, not the creation sites, the scientific ones).

The effects of these floods are quite visible (you can see them from space), well dated, and the direction and magnitude of water flow are pretty clear.

No global flood here. Sorry.

But, there is a lesson in what such a flood would look like, on a mini-scale. This is even more evidence that such a flood has not taken place on a global scale.


You keep challenging scientists over their data and studies. Don't you realize that scientists actually study things, and learn things? For years and decades? And that this knowledge adds up over the years by throwing out old theories and formulating better ones. And that somewhere, for every inane comment you make, there is an expert who can explain what science has found in that particular field? And that that expert really knows something, while you are just throwing out ideas based on your particular belief?

But I guess such is the "science" in creation science.
