Except for that "evening and morning" thing ...
Why doesn’t this evidence exist on all the land surfaces? Why is there only evidence of a great flood in a few isolated areas? Areas that are down stream from former massive glacial melt-water lakes?
Ummm. The end of the last Ice Age, anyone?
Even today 80% of the world's population lives within 200 ft of sea level.
When all that ice melted off the continents, world wide sea levels rose 300 ft.
That's gonna make an impression on folks world wide...
Funny you'd say that. Not all days have an "evening and morning" were the nth day.
According to the Bible we're still in the 7th day by that criteria.
I concur. While I respect the attempt to propose a young earth, making it absolute necessary doctrine, which is precisely what I see most young earth creationists doing, is in my opinion unbiblical. Scripture simply does not say how old the earth is. Period. The young earth model comes from assembling geneologies together, which is a woefully inaccurate way of calculating the age of the earth. Doctrine based upon clear statements of scripture is hard to argue with. Making doctrine out of inferences, at best, is in and of itself unbiblical.
What do “evening and morning” really mean in the “day”’s before the Sun had been created?
I worded that wrong N&V - I really meant it would be hard to explain away, or to disprove. Just the opposite of what I managed to type. And not for the first time...But I think you are right on the money.
Not all of them do. The ones that consider any other belief to be heresy assume you must accept a "young Earth" version, because anything else means you don't really belive in Creation.
You got that right! Oblivious pin-headery. This bunch continues to embarrass themselves.
Nice to know I'm not the only one that happens to...
“Before Abraham was I Am”.
You are under the illusion that you understand time.
This confirms that Mercury’s magnetic field is rapidly diminishing,...
That is all it confirms, it may have diminished in the
past, stabilized, grown, and diminished again over time.
Not enough information to make any thing other than
a guess as to the age of the planet or how the age
is related to the Magnetic field.
Just a layman’s view.
That's a pretty large flying winger now isn't it?
You’re obviously over the target. It’s funny when a scientist is accused of being anti-science.
Sometimes people will actually tell you you are wrong, simply because, oh, I dunno, because you are?
I’m even worse when speaking. <-—And sadly, that IS exactly what I meant.
Um, maybe because a trillion-amp electric current (the solar wind) is continually flowing at right angles past the planets, which have metallic cores? Gee, I wonder why they might have magnetic fields?
This "we know the universe is young because everything winds down quickly" pseudo-theory does not cut any ice here.
Young earth creationists damage the Christian witness, in my opinion.
Was there some aspect of my question that was “mocking”, or were you referring to others?
Youre obviously over the target. Its funny when a scientist is accused of being anti-science.

Obama is taking a lot of flak, too.
Does that mean he is over the target as well?
I’ve never understood the analogy.
