[. . . that doesn't magically support . . .]

Of course not. It simply stands as a fact there is much more water upon the earth than there is dry land. Would you say this favors a global flood or militates against it?

Neither, thus my eye-rolling when you tried to provide is as any kind of "evidence".

Now, if the earth were 3/4ths land you would hear nothing from me about credible evidence.

Sure I would, because you would then go on to say exactly what you say next:

And besides, science has yet to discover how much water resides beneath the land, having seeped downward over thousands of years.

Sorry, but anyone who says, "even if the evidence ends up contrary to my expectations, I'm holding out for the possibility that "hidden evidence" could prove me right, blah blah" isn't interested in following the evidence, they're interested in cherry-picking what they want to consider "supporting" evidence and what they want to dismiss as "still inconclusive". They'll never take anything as "falsifies my hypothesis", and thus asking them to examine or discuss reality is fruitless.

Come back when you learn how to actually test a hypothesis in a rigorous way. Just saying "hey, there's a lot of water, and maybe more I can't see, I could always be right" doesn't cut it.

I've seen your "I'm just here because I like to debate" style before, so you've had your shot on this thread as far as I'm concerned. Take it up with someone who cares to endlessly dance with you. Buh-bye.

Neither . . .

Well, pardon me while I roll my eyes, too. The likelihood of a global deulge is far greater when the planet is covered by 3/4ths water as opposed to 3/4ths land. Even a child 3 or 4 year old child would understand as much. But you've taken up your own brand of cherry-picking called "denial of a basic fact." That's okay. I'm used to it.

. . .isn't interested in following the evidence . . .

Actually I'm waiting for more of the same evidence. Water has been found in places we did not expect it. Do you think a magical dose of hyper-verbiage will make it go away? Keep huffing and puffing. So far the evidence is credible for a global deluge.

Come back when you learn how to actually test a hypothesis in a rigorous way.

Hehe. Go away until you can demonstrate in history a definite connection between man and ape. Until then you're just blowing conjectural smoke and gumming up education for the rest of us.
