Dendrochronology (tree rings) can get us back 9000 years or so. Ice cores from Greenland and the Antarctic can get us back 160,000 years. These dates are nowhere near the ages …
OK, it’s been awhile since I’ve posted in this thread, but I’ll move the topic along by going on to the next prediction. Prediction 4. Except for those areas that were rapidly eroded, and except for the vicinity of the ocean ridges, all of the earth’s surface should be covered with sediments from the flood. …
I will first approach this discussion by looking into the basement rocks. (Predictions 1 and 2 touch upon dating techniques. And I will defer that discussion until later.) Jose wrote:Prediction: 3. Basement rocks, that existed prior to the flood, should show no evidence of different strata.Test: 3. Are the oldest rocks we can find uniform …
First off, I appreciate Jose starting this thread and allowing the topic to be treated seriously. I realize that many people consider the global flood to be at best a mythical tale and to treat such a subject with any scientific approach might be unacceptable to some. But Jose has demonstrated patience with us creationists …
Let me go into a little more detail about the timing of events. There are 4 major phases of the flood: the rupture phase, the flood phase, the continental drift phase, and the recovery phase. During the rupture phase, the crack on the crust formed that started at the mid-Oceanic ridge and traveled around the …
OK, I’ve come up with some predictions off the top of my head. I have not gone into researching if there are evidence for or against these predictions yet, but I just wanted to get the discussion going. Some of these predictions might be impossible to have any evidence for or against right now, but …

As the water eroded the sides of the crust, it carried sediments and deposited it rapidly around the world. The entire world was covered with water and sediments at this point. Meanwhile, the crust was gradually settling as the water underneath decreased. As the land mountain ranges were forming and as the sediments in the …

Actually, practically all the underwater ridges were formed as a result of the crust splitting. So, where you see a mountain range, the crust cracked at that point. As the water gushed out of …
fried beef sandwich wrote: (1) that there is no evidence of a global catastrophic rupture of water from “subterranean chambers” OK, let’s get into what happened during the flood and we can see the evidence. We all know the idea that the land mass of Europe/Africa and the Americas were once one land mass. The …
