Flood Made Britain An Island 'In 24 Hours'

More proof of the lies of Darwinists that they’ll try to suppress.

[Freedom4US]

Isn't there some joke about a headline in The Times that goes something like "Dense Fog; Continent Isolated" ?

Actually, one of the newest theories (really an older theory that is gaining more converts) is that the Grand Canyon (and many other such canyons) was created fairly quickly by a massive flood after a glacial dam broke, contrary to the theory that it eroded over eons.

Geological evidence for a big flood. Who'dathunkit? Biblical creationism would have predicted this. Not evolution.

Last I checked, the theory of evolution had nothing to do with flooding. But I'm sure you knew that, Dave.
And "biblical creationism" doesn't predict anything...

Evidence of a large inland sea in southern Utah.

Lake Bonneville drained north, via the Snake River. Plenty of suddenly scoured canyons along that path: Portneuf Gap, Snake River Canyon, etc.

Is it wrong to hope for the same thing to happen to California...?

Yes, because FR is based in California. < :P

[GraniteStateConservative]

No one disputes that there wasn’t a lot of Ice Age melting in various places. That has nothing to do with a global flood described in Genesis. There is no evidence that what happened in Genesis happened in real life.

[GraniteStateConservative]

Adam and Eve, according to Genesis, could speak as clearly, with as massive of a vocabulary, as you and I. Adam and Eve spoke and understood God’s language and Adam named every animal. Creationists can’t accept that language was evolutionary. There was nothing and then {poof} there was total language.

They didn’t have the ability to see Al Gore’s hologram. He would have shown them the way.

Actually, it looks like something pretty darn close happened. Check out blam's Sundaland posts and the rising sea levels in this video.

Exactly right. The 'earth sciences' like geology, ecology, meterology, and anthropology are fundamentally different than the experimental sciences like physics, chemistry and biology.

When a chemist measures the concentration of a substance in the laboratory or a physicist predicts the orbit of a comet, their results are likely to be accurate to within tiny fractions of a percent. This is because they can repeat their experiments and observations again and again, until they get accurate models, with which they confidently make predictions. During the past few centuries we've used the very accurate results of experimental scientists to make lots of useful things that almost always work the way we expect them to. That has given 'science' the reputation it has, so almost everyone agrees that its a good thing to make decisions based on science.

When a geologist says something is 72 million years old, or an anthropologist says a stage of human development took place 250,000 years ago, no one is particularly suprised if the same people come back five years later and say they were off by 25%. That's because there is only one earth, and they can't go back and repeat all of history a few more times to make sure their observations were correct. Their work is interesting because over time it gives us a clearer picture of the history of our world; however earth science is not usually useful as a basis for policy decisions, because it is simply based on collections of observations rather than repeatable experiments.

It is ironic then, that the groups of people clammoring for policy decisions based on 'science' are not experimental scientists whose work is verifiably accurent, but the 'earth scientists' whose results may well be off by 25%, 50% or an order of magnitude. Skeptics who question the wisdom of policy decisions based on observations of unrepeatable events are not Luddites who reject science. They simply understand the importance of repeatibility to the scientific method.

Kinda like our present day Temples of Choice.

Yep, and we rightfully don't praise the activities there. We praise God for destroying newborns (infanticide) and the unborn (abortion) using water.

“Mystery of The Megaflood”

[GraniteStateConservative]

Explain to us how there were survivors of "the Flood" who could write such accounts.

Don't be dim!

Water wings, duh!

There is a great moral teaching in this story.

"Don't piss off Zeus?"

[GraniteStateConservative]

If all societies descended from Noah, you would expect DNA evidence to show that. It does not.

God screwed with human DNA at the Tower of Babel.

[papagall]

I’m asking myself if ‘the whole world’ could mean the portions of the planet where Adam’s descendants lived, and any places where pre-Adam humans lived were not in the mix. That would allow for the tremendous fload that formed the Black Sea (I think that’s the one) to drown all of Adam’s descendants except those in the Ark, while not requiring a global fload.

"Why did BBC just post this so late?"

I don't know. Slow news day? I've noticed this from other sites as well.
