Question for young earth creationists

Yes I know, but sometimes its fun.

Flood? What flood? I'm a geologist, and I have never seen ANY evidence of a global flood, anywhere on this planet. End of story. Where did the water come from? Where did it go?

It just annoys the crap out of them that they can't throw rocks at your head any longer for saying that, Oro. They long for the old days when impertinent fairy-tale deniers like you and I could just be killed.

They'd have a hard time trying it with me. I swing a mean hard rock hammer.

scripture tells us that the earth split open and great amounts of water flowed forth

Then scripture must be wrong, there's no evidence to back that assertion up.
Also mountains are formed by continental drift. Would be nice if you could explain how the earth split open and what caused it.

Also with such destructive forces going on it would explain why the evidence for the flood no longer exist.

Can't see how that would work. Also do remember, other civilisations fail to mention such a flood. There may of been a flood, but just no where as large as they claim it was. Remember, they knew nothing of the world. They knew nothing of Britain, the Americas, Australia. When they say "world" they most likely meant the known world. So the flood was a minor one. Just not to them. Not from their perspective.

I do believe that the world could be 50,000 years old, we do have a dating system that is accurate to that age. Even at 50,000 years from a biblical standpoint of creation the gene pool would be pure and there would not have been enough time to completely ruin it.

The earth is 4.5 billion years old. Also stop with the pure genes crap. Inbreeding is fatal for the species, so this rules out the whole Adam and Eve thing. We can only work with what we know now, and right now we know inbreeding causes genetic disorders. Also I don't think there is such a thing as a 'pure gene'.

I do see it to be a plausible idea.

It is an idea full of holes and with no support. How is it even remotely plausible?

This would account for the mountains which, biblically could not have existed or there would have been rain before the flood, because of the uplifting of air caused by mountains. This would explain why rain fell as it does today after the flood and why rain did not fall before the flood.

You don't need mountains to cause rain.

What a fool.
