Pastor Kevin Lea presents Dr. Walt Brown's Hydroplate Theory, examines the Genesis account of the flood and answers the questions: Where did the water comefrom? Where did it go? Where did the comets come from? ...and many other important questions.
(Excerpt) Read more at video.search.yahoo.com ...
Dr. Brown addresses all these points in his book which you apparently have not read.
A 10-mile thick granite crust could have been quite nearly impossible for mankind to drill through but it is not beyond the realm of possibilities...
Quite simply the physics account you linked to does not address all the details laid out by Dr. Brown. Sure it is incredible but much more possible and probable than eons of evolution.
one thing he clearly states is subterranean pillars to support the crust and a nearly perfect sphere with few mountain ranges no more than 1-mile high that would correspond to the location of the pillars.
from your link:
“Let’s go to physics class. As I understand your model, you have the earth constructed as follows: a solid center, a water layer, then above that, a layer of granite or basalt which ‘floats’ on the water. This is as shown below:
^ a mountain ps = 2.1 g/cc height = h
Earth’s crust (granite 2.65 g/cc, or basalt 3.3 g/cc) Thickness = T
Water (density 1.0 g/cc) Thickness = tw
Earth center (solid density > 3.3)
There are several things to notice about this situation. First, the crust must be absolutely impermeable to the water. There must be no earthquakes before the flood since the first crack in this sphere would allow the water to escape. This means that there must be no meteorites before the flood. And heaven help mankind if he ever were to have drilled into the crust for curiosity’s sake.
There must absolutely not have been any elevation differences.
You would probably appreciate the section discussing frozen mammoths. Mainly has to do with the speed and conditions required to preserve the carcass. Also some very interesting pictures of fish and tree fossils in talking points 21 thru 25 where he dubunks the age and placement of these fossils in part 1 pp 10-12.
How ‘bout the theory that the ice shelf of Antarctica slipping off and causing a massive tsunami all over the Earth. That one makes the most sense from a Biblical perspective.
Whoops ~ another glaring error your link fails to address is the nature of water surpassing 705 degrees farenheit and entering into the supercritical stage. Refer to page 118 of the 8th edition to see how all your problems are initially addressed with much more detail provided further into his book.
Non-scientific huh?! And yet one of the most thoroughly researched and cross-referenced research documents addressing challenges found in all of the major scientific disciplines.
I guess I’m not surprised all but one of your references found in this rebuttal link are so old and out-of-date that they preceed his 1st edition from 1980, some by decades.
I’d have to respectfully disagree. Could any tsunami exceed 1 mile in height? And would it deposit fossils on all of the mountaintops?
You are too funny.
For years on the crevo threads, the evos had been trying to get the creation articles that GGG was posting in the *Religion Forum* "where they belong" because it wasn't real science, it was religion.
And now you're complaining when someone does post something about the Flood in the RF and claiming it doesn't belong there either.
Good grief, will you make up your mind? Can't anyone do anything good enough for you?
ping
Noah's flood was for a specific purpose... The Heavenly Father Genesis 6:6 And it repented the LORD that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at His heart.
7. And the LORD said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth Me that I have mad them.”
Then we are told why Noah and his family were elected to be saved on the ark to continue the blood line to the birth of Christ.
LOLOL!
I like God too, but please, learn just a little science.
well put. One other interesting thing is that there are flood stories among Caucasian peoples (Semitics, Indians,Iranis) but not amongs Africans or Mongoloids (East Asians or native Americans). Perhaps this is because the flood was the flooding of the Middle-East->Central Asia region where the Caucasians were clustered around?
I have learned much of science both before joining FR, but even moreso after following the evo-crevo debates here. As I said once before ~ He who lacks imagination lacks intelligence.
I studied and somewhat believed the lies about the Earth/Universe ages and evolution when I was younger and full of myself. Thanks be to God for He has opened my eyes to my cognitive disonance. This has kept me diligently reading and studying His Word as well as mankinds exploits. Evolution that goes beyond change within a kind (microevolution) is simply not logical. Breakdowns in DNA lead to extinctions (more entropy ~ the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics) Logic simply does not allow for eons of evolution (more like devolution as I see it).
I truly love learning and love science but not so much with how it has been politicized. Think ~ who the press has blindly defended (and for how many years, no decades, nope centuries, where it continues stronger and mostly unabated). And whom do they never stop offending?
Then open your eyes to see how they’ve infiltrated all forms of education. The higher the education the more perverse the thinking and research (i.e Kinsey’s sex research). Next up is medicine where if we are not careful we’ll see history repeating atrocities greater than nazi wwii experiments. I take that back b/c abortions have already killed far more (innocent babies no less) than all of wwii combined.
One can argue blindly, passionately, and falsely when one only hears and sees one side of any argument.
My understanding was that the water was both “locked up” in the heavens and beneath the crust of the earth. The surface of the planet was much “smoother” in that it didn’t have the high points and low points that it does now, post-flood, and the amount of surface water was much less.
During the flood, these waters were released to cover the relatively low land masses.
During this time of coverage and neo-post-flood, the earth’s surface changed dramatically and quickly, raising up land and lowering the oceans, so all this “excess” water is still here, but in the deepest recesses of the oceans.
The tsunami itself wouldn’t need to be a mile high if the entire ice shelf on Antarctica slipped into the ocean. Ahead of the wave would be the most violent storms as the atmosphere was compacted and pushed forward. Water would gather and swell at every nook and cranny available on the earth. The sloshing from the wave across the globe could easily last 40 days before settling; leaving behind thick mud perhaps a mile deep. It’s not only possible, but plausible.
I would concur only if it were a direct causation linked to the event which formed the mid-oceanic trench (i.e. Noah’s Flood). Of course this event takes about a year for dry land to re-appear not just 40 days. The flood was 40 days of rain but took much longer to bury the fossils and recede.
I thought for sure someone would point out some specific scientific fact that you got wrong.
Maybe next time...
Well met, then. Very nicely stated. I apologize.
FWIW, I agree with your post 100% This absolutely DOES belong in the religion forum and I’m happy to see it here.
