” What we do know for sure... is that it can happen in a mere few days ... that part is known for sure.
Now, I’ll have to look up some more information on it, that I know I’ve read before, but there may be some indication of a time-frame in some natural setting (but mind you, this lab situation could have also happened in a natural setting during some cataclysmic event, too...).
I’ll see if I can find that other article.
The main thing to know right now — is that you can petrify wood in as little as a few days ... and that’s pretty significant, all by itself.”
Yes it has been demonstrated possible following a specific process in a lab. What needs to be demonstrated next is that shot timeframe petrification has actually happened anywhere in nature, what the natural conditions/processes are that cause it, and that those conditions actually existed on Mt Ararat at at the right time, in the right place.
That’s one challenge. In addition, there’s the issues of the complete lack of technology at the time to build a wooden ship of the required size with the required structural integrity, the housing and feeding of the number of animals, collecting the vast array of species from around the entire world and the lack of genetic diversity to repopulate them back into their specific geographic locations, and the requirement for an immense amount of water to cause the flood... but lets just stick to just one challenge for now.
What needs to be demonstrated next is that short timeframe petrification has actually happened anywhere in nature, what the natural conditions/processes are that cause it, and that those conditions actually existed on Mt Ararat at at the right time, in the right place.
Ummm..., I should say something "first" here, as you seem to have mistaken the reason why I posted information about wood being petrified relatively quickly. I was not bringing this up in connection with the supposed find on Mt. Ararat.
I was just answering someone else's post about wood being petrified slow or fast... that's all. There's no bearing of "petrified wood" to "Noah's Ark" as far as I'm concerned. I'm not making any connection here.
So, when you say start to get into something about "those conditions actually existed on Mt. Ararat" ... that doesn't mean anything to me. I hope you understand what I'm saying here.
NOW... what I was going to say. I think you've already seen this (as I pinged you a few minutes ago) ... but my Post #40 answers what you're talking about in a "natural setting" ... I would say ... :-)
