"What’s more, chemical analysis carried out last year on a European-style stone knife found in Virginia back in 1971 revealed that it was made of French-originating flint."
Nice post with pics bump
As a creationist do you think it is possible the earth was smaller before the flood? I have seen some videos lately that explain the spread in the ocean and many other things about earth before the flood.
Yup.
The question is not when but why? Why would humans want to come to a land ruled not by a president but by a dictator?
Which came first, the chicken or the road?
been out a while redoing some kitchen cabinets...
I am no scholar. Merely a literalist Believer.
Certainly there was an age on this planet that predates modern civilization. There is significant evidence that the present continental arrangement was once more condensed.
The millenia that have passed and weather patterns that occurred in that timeframe make this all difficult for us to apprehend within the scope of our lifetime experience.
Nothing yet has convinced me the Bible is untrue.
SC, I apologize for tagging you again. You’re a great resource, and don’t wish to offend you, but this thread predates your most personal reprimand. I sometimes get on here when I’ve had too much beer.
This topic has nothing to do with the Biblical Noachian Flood.
Yes, correct. The question to me was whether the earth (land mass, I surmise, not the extant diameter) may have been smaller before the rumored Flood. What with pre- or semi-sentient beings running amok hither and yon I suspect it may have been, as the article indicates.
I know things change radically with relatively minor events, such as the Missouri River flooding I have seen in my brief lifetime. High spots go away, scour holes appear 70’ deep where you once could drive. Routes of travel change dramatically....places you could go are inaccessible suddenly.
More cataclysmic events and longer cycles would only have more dramatic effects, IMHO.

Deploying AMS technology, Waters and Stafford also retested many known Clovis samples from around the country, some collected decades earlier. The results, Waters said, "blew me away." Instead of a culture spanning about 700 years, the analysis shrunk the Clovis window to 13,100 to 12,800 years ago. This new time frame required the Siberian hunters to negotiate the ice-free corridor, settle two continents and put the megafauna on the road to extinction within 300 years, an incredible feat. "Not possible," Waters said. "You've got people in South America at the same time as Clovis, and the only way they could have gotten down there that fast is if they transported like 'Star Trek.' "
a newly published artlcle, and update:

A real re-ping (tried it 14 months ago). Note: this topic is from 1/27/2013 . Thanks Theoria.
Oh my! I wonder what caused all that flora and fauna to go extinct? Do you suppose it was SUVs and “hut-wives” making the wrong choice between paper, or plastic, bags at the grocery grove?
(written with deep sarcasm, in case you hadn’t noticed)
The environment-hating people heating their tents and huts with all that coal and oil, and refusing to eat a vegan diet contributed to the extinctions, too...
Radiocarbon tests of carbonized plant remains where artifacts were unearthed last May along the Savannah River in Allendale County by University of South Carolina archaeologist Dr. Albert Goodyear indicate that the sediments containing these artifacts are at least 50,000 years old, meaning that humans inhabited North American long before the last ice age...
"The dates could actually be older," Goodyear says. "Fifty-thousand should be a minimum age since there may be little detectable activity left..."
