Companion Thread for: Question for young earth creationists

G-C suggested that American Indians reached the Americas in the same way that the Polynesians reached Hawaii.

Question, G-C.

Did the American Bison, Grizzly bear, Rattlesnake, and Big Horn Sheep also build boats and sail to the Americas?

Another one of them fuckin' miracles!

I bet Noah stopped at different places, dried up all the water with a ShamWOW that God beamed down to him, dropped the buggers off in the places where god told him to put them. Sounds like a reasonable argument for insanity... err... I mean Christianity.

Actually, Alei, that's a far more reasonable explanation than what is written in the Holy Babble.

Another question - what evidence is there that man of that era had the sailing technology necessary to make such a voyage?

Ignoring of course the evidence that homo sapiens arrived in the Americas long before the time of the biblical flood.

One of the most significant finds in the history of archaeology is the discovery that hominins of more than 850 000 years ago managed to cross the sea to colonise a number of Indonesian islands. Nusa Tenggara, the islands east of Bali, have never been connected to either Asia or Australia, but they were found to have been occupied by Homo erectus as well as by several endemic species of Stegodonts (extinct elephants) early in the Ice Age. Until recently, it had been assumed that the first sea crossings occurred no more than 60 000 years ago.

These crossings of several sea barriers involved the use of watercraft, because sea straits cannot be crossed without propellant, so this was the first time in human history that our ancestors entrusted their destiny to a contraption designed to harness the energies of nature. All human development followed on from that first triumph of the human spirit; it set the course of the human ascent right up to the present day.

Don't get me started on "boats!"

Thanks, I was not aware of that.

Let's not and say we did? I really don't see why they wouldn't want to build a ship and sail to the promised land?

The continental breakup came with the flood,

You have to give G-C credit for one thing. He brings the phrase "bat shit crazy" to a whole new level.


Now, if only there was evidence for his fucking 'flood' he'd be all set.

Sucks to be him.
