STD, I realise you think you're getting swamped by all these questions but do you have me on ignore or something? Three times I asked one simple question that could have advanced the discussion, such as it is, and three times you leapfrogged me.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

That's not the way sediment works.

And then been cast down in the waters of the flood, no? I mean, they did drown.

You have to love the sorted by the flood hypothesis to explain the distribution of the fossil record. I do have a couple of questions about it though.

1) Why are all the deepest fossils water creatures? Shouldn’t they have survived the longest and been on top?
2) Why are the deepest land plants all gymnosperms with no angiosperms until much later in the record?
3) Why are the deepest fossils of land animals all insects?
4) If people are on top because they moved to higher ground how did they keep the tyrannosaurs from joining them for a little snack?

When you say a mountain I guess you mean 0.

He probably means that the entirety of all the scientific evidence available for the development of life points to evolution, without exception.

A very simple question: Where did the water go?

When did the continents split? (give me the year)

Goddidit. Next question.

As far as continents being all one and then splitting 6,000 years ago to move to their current locations in such a short amount of time, you'd have to be an idiot to believe this. Or else invoke Goddidit.

The problem is they believe the earth is 6k years old. That would be Adam's time. By the time it gets to Noah it should be about 5k years old. And if the continents split AFTER that (how long does that take? I'll be generous and say 2k years) .... then they're not just denying science they're denying history.

"Godidit" once again halts any hope of discussion progress. Why isn't there a loony bin where we can put all the YECs?

As I said on another thread, the more you have to invoke magic to prove something, the less likely that something is to be true.

3000th post! Yay! I'm glad to have made it something somewhat profound.
