Noah's Ark water stored underground?
June 14, 2016 at 7:44 am
Okay, so a while back, Kent Hovind or someone like that posited that the water left over from Noah's Ark, went underground.
I thought it was ridiculous at the time, then just 5 minutes ago, I found this https://www.theguardian.com/science/2014...on-surface
It has enough water to flood the Earth, and it's stored under the ground.
This would work out great... If we had evidence for a world wide flood.

Well if he said it, that's good enough for me.
PS: Looks interesting! It will take me a few minutes to dismiss all this evidence because it doesn't line up with my world view. Brb.

Still doesn't explain where all the water would have come from. And if it came from underground in the first place then what displaced it? If you're going to magic it out of thin air then why not use magic to explain where it went as well?
Of course not to mention all the other logistics such as how two penguins and two kangaroos walked all the way to the ark and then back again without dying on the way.

He used to say that the water was in a layer over the Earth, somehow suspended in LOE. Showed how miserable his grasp of science wasy.

Why do these creationist idiots have to jump on every new scientific discovery as if they knew about it all along and it proves their wacky bullshit?
"No really! I worship a genocidal maniac and you should too! I can prove it! He really did murder everyone!"

It's the God of the Gaps hypothesis. Anything new is a possible hiding place for their Big Sky Daddy. Some people will believe it, leaving another thing for them to trot out when it comes time for them to copy-pasta.

Well if he needs help from the Ham/Hovind crowd then I'm not too worried about how powerful he is.

We do have evidence for a world wide flood. What those who say we do not have evidence are looking for is what is called a coastal or fluvial flood. this is where sediment and debris is pushed in land or away from a source like a lake or river and deposits debris all along the way. There is another type of flood call a pluvial flood that is slow and saturating very little is displaced.
If you read the flood account it describes all 3 happening. so near the coasts and rivers there is indeed much evidence for a great flood in the time frame discussed, and in the areas where a pluvial flood would have taken place we have exactly what we would expect to find.
But, stoo-ped people assume all floods cascade and push debris away from water sources. So what if the ground simply saturated and the water level rose?
The would be the difference between taking a bucket of muddy water and debris and dumping it out, allowing the mud and muck to go where it wants, and taking that same size bucket poke a few holes in it, and over a 40 day period saturating the mud/dirt slowly and then letting it dry out at it's own pace.
Both will show evidence of flood if you care to look at it according to how the flood took place.
Only a fool looks at the saturated bucket and say it never flooded because it does not look like the first bucket.
