Large ocean of water found inside the earth

So creating a planet in 6 days is okay, but making some water appear or dissappear isn't??

What strange logic you people use.

There are mountains which do have a tendency to rise, Sister X. Sea fossils have been found on very high altitudes.

These facts don't prove anything about a story or report in the Bible, but they certainly disprove your way of reasoning.

Some mountains are rising, some are falling. And last time I did the calculations I used Mount Ararat as the tallest mountain to stop people claiming afterwards that using Everest was unfair. And it was still order of magnitude out.

Then how come, Mr Rational, that sea-fossils have been found on mountains on very high altitudes ?

Because the Earth isn't 6000 years old and that few inches a year has been happening for millions of years?

Ever heard of plate tectonics? Earth is not 6,000 years old, but more something like 4,500,000,000 years old. Those fossils, when dated radiometrically or otherwise are millions of years old.

Also, I should point out that fossils found on mountains wouldn't have been able to happen in that abundance with only 40 days of rain and however long the flood supposedly lasted after that.

What Xanthos and ScottishinNZ said about moutains "growing" is correct, I won't repeat it.

The rate of rise of these mountains varies - it only averages to some set figure of a few centimetres a year or whatever.

Also, remember that the age of many of these mountains is significantly older than 6000 years. In my neck of the woods - Australia - our largest mountain system, which has many such fossilised sea creatures at its highest peaks, is probably around 50 million years old. Plenty of time to rise, even if slowly. Although in this case it was probably much more rapid and has been falling ever since.

Because 6000 years, although seeming like a long time to us, and the people who wrote the bible, is a blink of an eye (a drop in the the ocean if you'll pardon the pun) in geological terms.

Clearly. It's proof positive that a man called Noah built an enormous boat, rounded up two of each and every species of animal, and narrowly avoided death in a deluge that drowned the world.

Anyone who claims otherwise is an idiot.

What I find telling about this thread you made up is you choose to pick only those scientific reports that somehow in your limo-stretch imagination has something to do with your predetermined beliefs. For instance, why don't you ever make a thread about the latest findings in Fusion reactors, something our civilization can really use or
maybe the latest in high temperature superconductors which has so many uses you would have to write ten books just to spell it all out.
Or why analyzing the CBR gives an independent way to measure the age of the universe and how to see past that epic in the life of the universe. Of course you would never put anything like that up because it does nothing one way or the other, well maybe pegging the age of the universe at 14 billion years would stick in your craw but you only put out posts that have negative connotations for science or at least you THINK they leave holes in what is generally accepted thought on these subjects.

Actually he rounded up 7 of the clean animals.

Well that would seem the sensible thing to do.

Would you want the elephants and the dinosaurs to have it out in YOUR boat?

Only if I could charge an entry fee for spectators.
