Sorry, I don’t buy your explanation. I’m a geologist. I know all about plate tectonics and mountain building. It doesn’t happen in the timescale we’re discussing here.
As you correctly point out, the geologic formations that are now tops of mountains were once at the bottom of the oceans. But it takes millions of years for those formations to be uplifted and eroded into mountains. The topography of the earth of biblical times is not significantly different from earth today.
Try not to abandon reason and mankind’s collected knowledge to force fit your religious beliefs.
Those who want to believe in Noah’s Flood will do so regardless of any scientific discussion of its possibility. That’s just kind of a given, which is why the Noah threads never end up convincing anyone of anything.
know why the earth is 3/4’s covered in salt water ?
the answer kills the global warming theory
You said — Try not to abandon reason and mankind’s collected knowledge to force fit your religious beliefs.

I see a lot of “man’s reason” and “mankind’s collected knowledge” — which is entirely defective. In fact, I see it all the time, here — talked about on Free Republic. Usually it’s in connection with man’s reasoning concerning political philosophies of reasoning and concerning socialism and capitalism.
If I was that much in awe of “man’s reasoning” — who knows..., I might accept socialism... LOL... (but fortunately, I don’t..., since I don’t think that man’s reasoning has any good basis to it, just because someone tells me their “reasoning”...).
And so, it’s likewise with the things having to do with what God tells us. God was here and He’s an observer of the first order, an excellent witness to what happened in the worldwide flood. I have no reason to doubt God, but I do have a whole lot of “reasons” to doubt “man’s reasoning abilities”, from what I’ve seen over the course of the world’s history... LOL...
Besides that, I also see that there are scientists who have no problems correlating science and what the Bible witnesses through God’s revelation to us.
I don’t see a problem here...
Why do you think they call them "miracles" anyway?
Cheers!
