Geology documents dinosaurs fleeing Noah’s Flood

In February 2015, geologists Tracy Thomson and Mary Droser, in an article published online by the journal Geology, released graphic evidence for the reality of Noah’s Flood.1
Swimming animals left tracks underwater

The Geological Society of America press release shows a sandstone block sitting vertically in the field with tracks running for a few metres across its surface (figure 1). These are interpreted as swimming tracks because the imprints represent only a part of the foot. Consequently it is assumed that the animal was being supported by water. Thomson and Droser explain:
Swim tracks are a unique type of vertebrate track because they are produced underwater by buoyant trackmakers, and specific factors are required for their production and subsequent preservation. Swim tracks are found all over the world, including dinosaur tracks in northern Spain, which consist of claw marks made on the sand surface as the animal was on tip-toes trying to move through deep flowing water.
The Hebrew text indicates that a great deal of time may have elapsed between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2 - which only makes sense if you believe what the Bible says about Lucifer and his rebellion. The quotes of Jesus seem to indicate that He believed the Scriptures as written. The problem with most people is that they want to debate what the Scriptures are not clear about and ignore what the Scriptures are very clear about.
Yes, but he was a genius, and you are a fool.
Yes, but he was a genius, and you are a fool.
The thing to remember, is that the “age of the earth from the Bible” game has zip, zero, zilch to do with Jesus and salvation. It’s just a nutty parlor game, a modern angels on the head of a pin thing.
“Such measurements also have produced distances greater than the age of the supposed big bang.”
Wrong. You failed to take into account the effect of time dilation due to velocity versus the speed of light.
Everyone knows that the Triceratops didn’t get along with the donkeys on Noah’s Arc.
Ah... so time’s not a constant, eh?
Might have other implications as well, eh?
lol
This would also indicate,Noah failed in his mission to save a pair each species since the Dinosaurs didn’t survive the flood.
How far are these imprints from the nearest large body of water? What percentage of fossils requires aquatic activity in order to form?
The title for this piece is a bit misleading. The body brings out more clearly that we are dealing with evidence, not proof. Big difference.
On what basis do you accept St. Augustine as an authority? Would you be inclined to accept everything he has written to be true, or just the things that comport with your version of reality?
Exactly. In fact, an omnipotent being could have created the universe five minutes ago, with all fossils in place, isotope ratios set, light waves on the way, humans’ memories established and consistent, etc., etc. No way to prove that notion false.
It does bring up the question: Why bother?
ONE of the seven days was not described as "the evening, and the morning were the nth day."
That was the seventh day.
One could quite reasonably argue that we are therefore still in the seventh day.
That would explain a LOT.
God's still resting, and that's why we're in such dreadful shape, for one thing.
Same could be said for 100 years. What’s your point?
I think we are well past the ‘seventh day’.
Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years;
Why?
To deceive us?
“Nothing so complicated. If you assume an all powerful and all knowing creator than that creator could create a universe
where the light and gravity waves and everything else is already 6000 light years from the earth traveling along a trajectory toward earth at the moment of creation. Try and prove that one false.”
The CMB (Cosmic Microwave Background) cannot be simulated by an instantaneous creation of the Universe with such properties only ~6,000 years ago. The physical properties of the radiation of the electromagnetic radiation are inconsistent with such a young Universe conjecture.
“Why bother?”
Don’t you ever play solitaire? What exactly would you do with all eternity.
No way. An all powerful and all knowing creator could just create the cosmic background radiation exactly as you find it.
