Somehow I can't image the biblical Noah wearing a helmet crested with a broomstick...

Well, that was certainly worth the laugh factor to get through about 2 paragraphs before becoming suddenly ill.
Don't these people have better things to do with their time?

There you have it folks! Ken Ham is the living proof that there is a correlation between repeated blows the head and brain damage.

let's see here, he actually only attributes one idea to a person identified as a scientist. the remainder appears to be his interpretation of a newspaper's interpretation of some speculation by some unidentified "scientists".

Does anyone besides me get the feeling of "grasping at straws"? There was nothing new in the article except their "aha", which was pretty pointless. Are these folks just now getting around to hearing about theories of water on Mars? Somebody should have paid more attention during 8th grade science.

quote:
The newspaper report states, 'The total release of gases from Tharsis magma may have produced the equivalent of a global layer of water nearly 400 feet deep, although much of the water would have been lost to space…At the very end of the Noachian epoch, volcanic activity dissipated and carbon dioxide and water were removed from the atmosphere by a combination of factors…' 2
Of course there are those who say there's not enough water on Earth to cover all the mountains for such a global event.
What's the correlary here? Who said the mountains of Mars were covered with water?
*expletive* He goes from 'water on Mars' to 'God moved the mountains up to save us from the flood'. And I thought my trains of thought were tangential! (NOTE: if the mountains of Ararat didn't exist beforehand, how did Noah know where he was? I guess God told him  )
Good judgement comes from experience: experience comes from bad judgement. |

Oh no, this isn't an example of a tangential train of thought. It is an example of a train of thought quantum tunneling. Starting off in one place, then suddenly appearing in another having passed through an impenetrable barrier of reason.

It was either Noah sending Shamu out to give Noah his location using echo sounding or Noah invented snorkeling. Damn! Can't remember which one. Sorry!

Just so you know: The Navaho, or Dene, have a creation myth that First Man and First Woman lived on four other planets before they got to this one. The fourth planet, often identified as Mars, was destroyed by a world-wide flood. First Man and First Woman escaped to another plane (Earth) by climbing through the centre of a giant reed.

Is it me, or is this hirsute web-minister guy tossing out the Genesis baby with the Noahic bath water?
The average depth of the oceans is three miles, give or take. If the Earth were as smooth as a cue ball (I know, it's already smoother than any cue ball it's size would be. Will you let me go on? Skeptics, geeze) you'd have somewhat less than two miles of water everywhere.
Okay, so there are no mountains 'til after the flood and Noah is floating around on top in his little boat.
If there were no mountains, what was he standing on before the flood?
What happened to god dividing the waters, the 40 days and nights of rain, the well springs of the Earth and all that good stuff?
When did volcanoes become giant "super-soakers" squirting out hydrogen and oxygen? I thought that water came from comets and any water vapor in volcanoes came from the ground water.
Where does the bible say that god pulled the continental shelf out from under everyone's feet like a giant Three Stooges movie?
And the waters receded. So sayith the Lord to Shemp brother of Moe, Nyuk, Nyuk, Nyuk. I shall set my bow in the sky as a covenant with you. I shall never flood the Earth again. Next time, youse wise guys, it'll be custard pies and not seltzer.
