I think FW that you are pretty correct in the flood idea. I believe the flood story to be true, as well as the Creation story. Although I think the Creation story is much more difficult to understand, as the story was told by people as revealed to them by God (whereas the flood was witnessed).
I’m also in agreement with webheart - one volcano (or a million) doesn’t do much to “prove” the flood story, or a young-earth creation.
Thanks for your input. What did you think about the rock-dating part of the article? I found it interesting, but again, it’s not an area in which I’m knowledgeable.
