Using this same logic however, sea shells should not be found above 13,000 feet, but they still are.
"If you put all the water in the world together, melting both the ice caps and all the glaciers, you still wouldn't reach anywhere near the top of the mountain," he said.
Using this same logic, there should be not evidence of water ever being above where it could reach today if all the ice caps and glaciers were melted. But there is evidence of water being above this limitation.
Obviously, he failed to tell you that those who think there was an earth covering flood of Noah's day, believe the mountains were not nearly as high and the ocean valleys were not nearly as deep before the catastrophe of the flood.
Oxford professor Bridge knows this, but he didn't mention it for obvious personal reasons.
Proof? BTW, sea shells above 13K would be because of mountains being thrust up over many millions of years. As for a boat landing above 13,000 feet, how come none have been found in the 2000 plus years since the fable was published? You'd think that by now, someone would find it. Hell, even since we had satellite 3D mapping someone would find it. Instead, you have a well known fraud on Ararat, and a bunch of unsubstantiated sightings of a jutting rock.

Continental drift and upthrust.
