"The evaporation/rain/snow cycle..."

You presume that all natural systems have always been as they are now. I remember in my first geology class, the very learned professor dismissing "catastrophism" as a legitimate engine for geologic change. Just a very few years later it was widely accepted that the dinosaurs were wiped out by, guess what, a catastrophic asteroid impact.

I do not worship at the altar of science: Elsewhere in today's posts there is an article about gravity waves exceeding the speed of light. We have known for years that light can be slowed down. Both of which poke holes in relativity, and the others you've mentioned are equally prone to error. Just because some theories can be "proven" does not make all of them correct.

I have no idea how the water got to the top of the hill. Some interpretations say "a mist" rather than "a stream". Maybe that is how. In any event the Bible says there were rivers so I accept that there were rivers...I cannot say how they got there.

You have failed to refute anything, only to demonstrate the ignorance of both of us.

Nor does anyone else.

Some things do not need to be refuted to be dismissed. Some things, however, need to be supported to be believed.

I can see that little boat now with a big fat dinosaur clogging the door and yelling- get me out of this wet stuff falling from the sky for the first time.---
