How did corals get from the bottom to the top? Did
they grow legs and walk? Did they grow fins and swim?

The entire world was covered with water after the flood came to an end.
That is when sea creatures ended up on top of the canyon walls.

No, Jason, it wasn't, because there never was a worldwide flood. I am
borrowing the following from a post in talk.origins, as it provides yet
more evidence that your flood never occurred. The post post follows:

"Randy Crum had a TO post of the month in 2011 on what the Flood
predicts
about fossils compared to what is actually observed:

"Hardly.

"Here's what the fossil record should look like if Biblical creationism
were
true.


1.. In the very lowest strata we should see no fossils at all. This is
because, according to the Bible, all life originally existed in the
Garden
of Eden and nothing died there.


2.. In the next levels of strata, we should see a fairly constant rate
of
fossils or a gradually growing rate of fossils. This would reflect the
time
after the Fall as life progressed all over the Earth. These strata
should
have fossils of all types of organisms, both bacteria and larger more
complex organisms because all of them coexisted. We should see more
mobile
species such as horses at the bottom of the fossil record throughout
most of
the world because those species would be able to migrate to places far
away
from the Garden of Eden more quickly than less mobile species. In fact
we
should be able to use this layer of strata to help discover the location
of
the Garden of Eden. The closer that any particular rocks are to the
original
location of the Garden of Eden, the earlier fossils should appear. (It
should take species longer to get far away from the Garden and die than
it
should be for species to die close to the Garden.)


3.. At some point as we move up through the strata we should see a
sudden
massive intrusion of fossils. This would represent the 40 days and 40
nights
of the flood. This layer should also include archaeological artifacts
such
as tools because humans existed and would not have escaped with their
tools.
This should be present because of the large number of organisms (nearly
every living creature on Earth) that died suddenly under conditions
ideal
for fossilization. (A flood is the very best environment for preserving
fossils.) We should be able to show that all of these fossils are in the
same strata all over the world.


4.. Immediately above this sudden intrusion of fossils, we should see
a
thin layer of marine fossils. This would represent the year when,
according
to the Bible, the Earth was covered with water. This layer of fossils
should
be present everywhere since the flood was global in nature.


5.. As we move up beyond this point in the strata, we should see a
fossil
gap; the size of the gap should vary depending on the geographical
distance
that a particular rock formation is from Mount Ararat - the final
resting
place of the Ark according to the Bible. As was the case immediately
after
the Fall, it would take some time for slow moving organisms to get very
far
away from where the Ark came to rest.


6.. This pattern should exist all over the World.

"In fact, of course, it exists nowhere on Earth.

"Creationism --> totally falsified by the fossil record."

(I have added the quotation marks but nothing else, and removed the post
he
was replying to.)

So while it isn't about detailed crop records or dynasties, your Flood
proponent would need to explain the contradictions.

He would also have to explain why, if all human life was wiped out
except
for the ark, civilizations such as the Egyptian pyramid builders,
Stonehenge, and Skara Brae, to name only a few, all show evidence of
continuous occupation and use by the same culture during the period the
Flood was supposed to take place (c. 2000-2500BC). And none of them
show
signs of deposits such as one might see from a global flood.

Grain storage records might be cuneiform from Sumerian civilization.

The "top of the canyon walls" would have been
under six miles of water. And fresh water at that,
which is lethal to corals. So how did they not only
live but migrate?

From your own cite:

http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/nab/really-a-flood-and-ark


1) "The animals simply arrived at the Ark as if called
by a "homing instinct" (a behavior implanted in the
animals by their Creator) and marched up the ramp,
all by themselves. Though this was probably a
supernatural event (one that cannot be explained by
our understanding of nature)"



Got that? Your own cite has no explanation
for how all the worlds animals (including those
that cannot even walk, like sloths) got to the
ark. It is just "supernatural" how it happened.



2) "In the book Noah痴 Ark: A Feasibility Study,
creationist researcher John Woodmorappe suggests
that, at most, 16,000 animals were all that were
needed to preserve the created kinds that God
brought into the Ark."

Fact check

Known land animal species =
Insects: 1-30 million+ species
Arachnids: 75,500 species
Reptiles: 7,984 species
Amphibians: 5,400 species
Birds: 9,000-10,000 species
Mammals: 4,475-5,000 species
http://tinyurl.com/3xd4xd3


And that doesn't include all the dinosaurs
that your cite said were on the ark.






3) "All land animals and people not on board the Ark
were destroyed in the floodwaters傭illions of animals
were preserved in the great fossil record we see today."

So, when the ark landed there would no food for
tens of thousands of different carnivores to eat,
a condition that would have lasted for decades while
the population of herbavores built up. How did they
eat?




4) "Even what is now Mt. Everest was once covered with
water and uplifted afterward.13 If we even out the
ocean basins and flatten out the mountains, there is
enough water to cover the entire earth by about 1.7
miles (2.7 km). Also important to note is that, with
the leveling out of the oceans and mountains, the Ark
would not have been riding at the height of the current
Mt."


So, if Everest is growing at a rate of 2 inches
per year that means it's "Floode" level height of
1 mile high was literally millions of years ago, not
in the late Bronze age.



5) "Evidence of Noah痴 Flood can be seen all over the earth,
from seabeds to mountaintops. The earth痴 crust has massive
amounts of layered sedimentary rock, sometimes miles deep!
These layers of sand, soil, and material洋ostly laid down
by water謡ere once soft like mud, but they are now hard
stone."


Fact check: The oldest place on earth are
igneous rock beds in Canada that are 4 Billion
years old. They are not covered by any Bronze
age sedimentary layers and never have been.

"Ken’s bachelor’s degree in applied science (with an emphasis on
environmental biology) was awarded by the Queensland Institute of
Technology in Australia. He also holds a diploma of education from the
University of Queensland."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Ham

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diploma_of_Education

"In recognition of the contribution Ken has made to the church in the
USA and internationally, Ken has been awarded three honorary doctorates:
a Doctor of Divinity (1997) from Temple Baptist College in Cincinnati,
Ohio, a Doctor of Literature (2004) from Liberty University in
Lynchburg, Virginia, and a Doctor of Letters (2010) from Tennessee
Temple University."

http://www.answersingenesis.org/outreach/speakers/ken-ham/bio/

So Ken Ham does not have an earned Ph.D. It isn't even clear that he has
an earned Masters degree. He has a Diploma of Education, which is a one-
or two-year post-bachelor's diploma that teaches those with bachelor's
degrees to become teachers.

It is possible that you and I have higher-level earned degrees than Ken Ham.

It would be nice to see a biblical fundy
here who could actually discuss Ye Floode.
Jason just says "I don't know" to the most
obvious questions about it and resumes
telling everyone he believes it.

There were no creatures on the ark. Noah's Ark is a fictional myth as is
the flood associated with it. The evidence is overwhelming that no such
flood could ever have taken place. You need to accept the facts.

From your own cite:

http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/nab/really-a-flood-and-ark


1) "The animals simply arrived at the Ark as if called
by a "homing instinct" (a behavior implanted in the
animals by their Creator) and marched up the ramp,
all by themselves. Though this was probably a
supernatural event (one that cannot be explained by
our understanding of nature)"


Problem: Your cite has no explanation for how all
the worlds animals (including those that cannot even
walk, like sloths) crossed oceans and continents to
get to the Middle East.

God is able to make miracles happen. That is the reason those sorts of
creatures and various other creatures ended up on the ark.

It is now your responsibility to contact every person on that list and
ascertain whether they ever consented to be put on the list.

Bingo.

Your flood tale, like your whole religion, has no
basis in common sense, it defies all logic, and it is
no different than a childs' belief in Santa Clause or

There, he proceeded to set fire to the trashcans and threw bricks
through the windows. After being apprehended by police and spending
some time in jail, he was able to tell his friends, "Look, I went to
Harvard."

Noah's flood did happen. I found this sentence in a ICR newletter article:

"...which could explain the extensive sediment layers in the portion of
the geological record associated with Noah's Flood."

If you want to read the entire article, visit icr.org and type these words
into their search engine:

Prior to Noah's flood there were a vapor canopy surrounding the earth. It
collaped and the result was Noah's flood. The oceans contained very little
water prior to the flood. Lots of the water ended up as ocean water, lake
water and ground water.

I don't know. God's ways are not our ways. God had the power to do it any
way that he wanted to do it. He chose to do it via Noah's flood. One
preacher explained it this way--God was saying that he wanted to clense
the world of evil--and that is the reason he used Noah's Flood to make it
happen.

I don't really care what you believe, because the facts show that there
was no such flood.

How can you? The facts show that it did not happen.

Ken Ham is a man who makes money telling lies to believers.

Answers in Genesis is a lie-filled site that he owns.

No honest person would ever refer to Answers in Genesis when trying to
offer evidence to others.

You have never really cared how many lies you tell.

Ken Ham has told many more lies than you will ever have the chance to
tell.

That doesn't support your assertion about the alleged vapour canopy.

Given there is no evidence that such a vapour canopy ever existed, why
claim that it did?

So you are saying, again, that God is lying to us in His Creation or

That Deus ex machina does not help you. It makes matters worse. You
now have to find MORE water to raise the flood to swamp Everest. With
30,000 feet of water all over the world where does it go? The oceans
were filled during the flood, as were the lakes and the ground water
reservoirs. In 2000 Southern England had a very wet winter. The rain
refilled all the aquifers and old springs reappeared, some in the
cellars of houses built over them! An old stream reappeared and
flowed down the road that had been built over its bed!

Ken Ham has an excellent museum that has been visited by thousands of
people. He has devoted his adult life teaching people the creation story.
I respect him.

Funny mist, that. It spews 30,000 feet of water.

If you want numbers, the main Christian denominations no longer hold
that Noah's flood is historical, rather it is a morality tale. BTW,
which version of the flood do you prefer? You know there are two in
Genesis.

The Bible makes it clear that God was helping Noah with the project.

So even if reality contradicts your belief, you would prefer to reject
reality.

Both of them. Lots of Christians continue to believe Noah's flood did happen.

You respect someone who has defrauded thousands of people out of
millions of dollars? Really?

Well, it's just one more data point to prove that if there is an
afterlife, you're going to have to learn to accept great disappointment
when you get cast down to the lowest depths of hell. But good for you
that there's no such thing so I won't have to be sad thinking about you
burning for all eternity.

Where does that say anything about a canopy?

Dr. Henry Morris figured out that there was a canopy. Upon request, I will
tell you the name of his book. It's still in publication.

Lots of loopy Christians. You know, the weirdos at the
fringe. The ones who they crack jokes about at the vicar's
garden party. The ones the rest of the world smirks about
when their antics turn up in the Odd News section of their
news, along with penis-shaped turnips and hamsters that
surf.

BTW, you lot may believe anything.
We do not need to believe that the flood never happened.
We KNOW it never happened.

Because Henry Morris put it in a book. (A "theory" he "borrowed" from
someone else.)
