noone’s ‘given up on it’. There is constant new eivdences comingto light and has been for quite soem time- You may dissagree with what the information suggests, and that’s fine- but to state that they ‘gave up on it essentially’ is misleading.
there are at least two posters on these threads that argue the universe revolves around the earth -- or at least that there is no difference between a Newtonian universe and a geocentric universe.
So I am not surprised that people still argue for a global flood. When I implied that geologists gave up on it, I merely intended to say that those capable of understanding the evidence had given up.
