LOL . This shows a lack of understanding of science . If anything science claims can be proven false, someone can prove it false . Jerry Falwells university, any Baptist university, and Catholic university, could train its students to thoroughly in science and then turn them loose to expose what you claim. But they don’t . Why? Because the science is accurate .

Offer some proof. Otherwise your claim is just a baseless one

To the extent that there are economic and political impacts associated with what the science decides, you are correct. But not everything has an economic or political impact that affects the interests of moneyed people. There are also entrenched scientific egos and reputations involved as well that should not be minimized. The journals are somewhat controlled by the current dominant elite published scientists and reviewers.

OK, well if this is the best you can do then I guess we will get nothing of substance to support your suggestion .

The geological evidence is overwhelmingly against a global flood. It simply is. And in light of the existence of other ancient Near East flood stories which are older than the biblical story it is not hard to understand that the reason for the Genesis flood story is polemical in nature. The biblical writer wanted to put the Hebrew slant on the story to give credit to the Hebrew God Yahweh who brought the flood on the world because of man's evil while discrediting the Mesopotamian flood stories in which the gods brought the flood because man made so much noise that the gods couldn't sleep.

The ANE flood stories are legends which grew out of an actual massive but regional flood, perhaps of the Tigris-Euphrates river system, or perhaps the Black Sea flood gave rise to the legends.

You see Mike there is where we disagree, you say the flood was not worldwide, the Bible says: (Genesis 7:19, 20) . . .The waters overwhelmed the earth so greatly that all the tall mountains under the whole heavens were covered. 20 The waters rose up to 15 cubits above the mountains, and yes I believe that.



Most scientists believe the land masses were once connected, and the world now contains enough water to still flood it completely, Mammals frozen in Siberia show a virtually immediate climate change. So there is scientific evidence as well.

Please post a link to a legitimate science source (like a major research university) that shows that "MOST" scientists believe the world now contains enough water to flood the earth completely.

I've seen the calculations. It isn't remotely possible.

Flatten the mountains, fill in the depths of the sea, melt the ice caps, and yes. There would be.

The Bible, which is "God-breathed", says otherwise.
