Noah's Flood vs Aquatic Fauna

I can sink Noah's Ark with a single picture:



The diluvianist explanation for how the fragile coccolith exoskeletons managed to survive the year-long flood, or got laid down in such a way as to give the illusion of aeons-old fossil deposits post-flood, had better be a bloody good one.

A similar case can be made regerding the Antarctic ice sheet, which apparently either stayed put and unaffected beneath the waves or floated around a bit before obediently settling itself back on top of the Antarctic continental landmass exactly as if it had never moved.

My online christian stalker(don't ask) just send me this.




So I gotta ask. By already willing to talk about Noahs flood isn't I don't know put us in the very same of level of stupidity as some believers. Don't get me wrong ThePaleolithicFreethinker your arguments are very logical like the others that appear. But I mean can't we just I dunno admit this is a whole bunch of nonsense and move on.

I'm sorry if I offended you ThePaleolithicFreethinker I didn't mean that I'm just questioning why we have to defend our atheism where christians come up with this kind of …… let's call it illusions.

And then there's the creationists' 'vapour canopy' model. There are a whole raft of problems with this, my own personal favourite being the latent heat of vapourization needed to turn the canopy into liquid water.

The fine folks over at the SecWeb have calculated that this would have raised the temperature of the atmosphere to 6000F, with an associated rise in ocean temperature.

Since the flood account never mentions, 'And Noah and his issue did come forth from the ark and feasted upon the bouillabaisse that was all around them,' we can pretty much dismiss the vapour canopy model.

God is testing you/Satan is deceiving you and you are failing/fell for it.

Of course, you'd think those arguments would cause more trouble than they solve, but it doesn't seem to bother the apologist.
