From pg. 14 of Reason to Affirm a Global Flood by Humber. There are
many links to the subject matter, but I will stick to one given
example.

What could possibly have moved these rocks 300-600 miles almost over
level ground (less than a 1degree slope? The geological forces are
clearly not happening today....and the example: Portand University
geologist Dr. J.E. Allen discovered quartzite boulders up to 3 ft. in
diameter on several mountains in northeast Oregon. He wrote, 'no
nearby source has been recognized,' and suggested they were carried
there by a 'torrential paleoriver.' Then he admitted this theory was
'an outrageous hypothesis' considering the wide distributions and
great distance of transport.

Thick Coal Layers ..pg. 15 of Reasons to Affirm:

If one goes to the Wyoming State Geological Survey webpage, he may see
a photograph of an impressive coal mine. The thickness of the coal
layers is significant: "Each seam measures between 30 and 50 feet
thick." How could a a slow building-up of layers over millions of
years account for such uniformly thick layers of coal? A global flood
could have produced them rapidly, but slow processed could not have
buried these billions of tons of vegetation.

You're way behind. Erratics are well known to have been moved by
glacial acion.

I'm sure, since there are all sorts of glaciers in the United States!
(where the rock slides have been noted to occur).

Of course deniers can dream of anything can't they?

They might want to consider some trees being forced into some of the
strata. Of course these programmed students will all say the stratas
were laid down millions of years ago and millions of years between
each layer. They forget though that trees don't quite live that
long....:).

Of course they will have to find some stupendous explanation for

The Oregon quartz arrived. There is no need for rapid displacement to
be considered per se. They had to arrive 'supernaturally' because
there is no quartz in the region anywhere to have them get there. A
tremedous flood could get them there. There is no nature reason for
them to be there besides that.

"The largest glacial bodies, ice sheets or continental glaciers, cover
more than 50,000 km² (20,000 mile²).[5] Several kilometers deep, they
obscure the underlying topography. Only nunataks protrude from the
surface. The only extant ice sheets are the two that cover most of
Antarctica and Greenland."

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

Or:

http://tinyurl.com/nm74c

And, of course, there were many ice sheets/continental glaciers during
the various ice ages in Earth's history:

"An ice age, or more precisely, a glacial age, is a period of long-term
reduction in the temperature of the Earth's surface and atmosphere,
resulting in the presence or expansion of continental ice sheets, polar
ice sheets and alpine glaciers. Within a long-term ice age, individual
pulses of cold climate are termed "glacial periods" (or alternatively
"glacials" or "glaciations" or colloquially as "ice age"), and
intermittent warm periods are called "interglacials". Glaciologically,
ice age implies the presence of extensive ice sheets in the northern and
southern hemispheres.[1] By this definition, we are still in the ice age
that began at the start of the Pleistocene epoch, because the Greenland
and Antarctic ice sheets still exist.[2]

"More colloquially, "the Ice Age" refers to the most recent glacial
period that peaked approximately 20,000 years ago, in which extensive
ice sheets lay over large parts of the North American and Eurasian
continents."

If you had taken the time to find to article J.E. Allen wrote on the subject
and from where the creationist site mined the quotes
(http://www.oregongeology.com/pubs/og/OGv53n05.pdf p. 104-107), you would
have read this:
***
The widespread, scattered distribution of the quartzite gravel
localities in the Wallowas at first suggests meandering across a
flood plain, but this seems to be ruled out by the size of the
boulders. Another possibility, that the scattered nature of the gravel
localities indicates more than one river branch, seems to be ruled
out by the distant source of the quartzites: they must have been
deposited along the main stem of the ancestral river. This helps
justify a third hypothesis: that only one great river periodically
occupied braided channels within a broad valley.
***

Does any of that support the biblical Flood? Follow the link and read the
conclusion yourself.

Another example of how people like you are being deliberately lied to by con
men and science frauds with a religious agenda.

Honestly, you have to do better than this.

Sure it does. Are you going to base something on a mystical river
that travelled across the earth? Or as most of the evidence already

There are continental glaciers (or ice sheets) which are, by definition,
on land, even today. In the past, there have been numerous ice ages,
each of which was characterized by advances and retreats of continental
ice sheets.

So when you write:

"I wouldn't expect the glaciers to be on land? Did yours?"

...what I wrote is the answer to your question. Yes, *my* glaciers
(well, everyone's glaciers) were on land, and moved; and in moving,
moved countless huge blocks of stone for hundreds of miles.

And I guess my second point is that you were right when you wrote,
"Stupid is as stupid does". And, since you did stupid, I guess, by your

You obviously didn't follow the link I provided and read Allen's paper.
There is nothing mystical about the old rivers. The evidence shows, clearly,
that rivers and streams has shaped the landscapes mentioned in the article.

Because I read Allen's paper and he does not mention a Biblical-Flood-like
event as a possible explanation for the displacement of the boulders. But I
bet that John Hergenrather, the guy who wrote the article you quoted from
(http://creation.com/noahs-long-distance-travelers), has read Allen's paper
and he must have known, that he cannot interpret Allen's as support for the
flood scenario he wants you to believe in.

You don't depend on honesty for your salvation. You depend on people who are
willing to lie, blatantly, to you.

Scientists don't have to answer to higher powers. They have to answer to
their peers and everybody else who has given himself the possibility to be
able to examine "their beliefs".

This is what Allen 'believes'
***
DISCUSSION
What was the lower Miocene topography like? Was the uplift
of the Wallowas uniform, or did it tilt, arch, or dome the area?
Was this torrent a Snake or Columbia paleoriver? What is the
provenance of the gravels? Can the gradient of a torrential paleoriver
be distinguished from the difference in elevation resulting from
arching and upfaulting of the Wallowa Mountains? Can widely
scattered gravels be deposited by one river?
***

And here's John Hergenrather
***
The most likely process

For the waters of Noah’s Flood to recede, there had to be differential
sinking and rising of the earth’s crust. This is probably what Psalm 104:6–8
is describing:

‘So You covered it with the deep as with a garment;

The waters were standing above the mountains.

At your rebuke they fled,

At the sound of Your thunder they hurried away.

The mountains rose; the valleys sank down

To the place which You established for them.’ (NASB)
***

That's how 'answering to a higher power' compares to science.

Your 'finds' have all been explained to you and your people ad nauseam, and
you're not scoring any points by repeating the same debunked arguments.

There are people out there working on convincing you and millions of
uneducated, God fearing, unnaturally born sinners, that Flood-geologist are
making huge advances in their scientific researchs, proving the Flood really
happened and the atheistic science's pillars of belief are crumbling. They
want to make sure that you answer to their higher power.

Take a look at a tectonic plate map sometime. One that shows the

or:

The African Plate is colliding with the Eurasian Plate and one of the
results of that will be that the Mediterranean will close. No flood
forced the tectonic plates apart because the plates were never closer to
each other than they are now.

The truly funny thing is that you true believers in "science" never
view your own day with the circumspection of history. The foundation
theories on every subject have all been radically revised or replaced
in the last 100 years. And the same was true in the 100 years before
that. By what arrogance do you imagine the modern theories will no be
radically revised or replaced in the next 100 years?

Yet you strut and boast and pontificate as though your grandchildren
will be reading from the same propaganda books. It really is a giggle
to those of use who have been around for while.

They ground them away and transported the detritus miles.
From http://www.hhgs.org.uk/monthly_meetings/previous_meetings/lake_district/lake_district.htm
or even http://tinyurl.com/73uwphk

"This whole region (The Lake District) is good example of glaciation
and has all the text book examples associated with the formation of
this landscape : ‘U’ shaped-valleys, lakes, moraines, alluvial fans,
corries. Buttermere has post glacial deposits and arêtes and razor
back edges. Derwent water is the shallowest lake and has drumlins and
eskers. Penrith and Keswick have truncated spurs. The erratics in
Thirlmere show the direction of the glacial flow. There are nearly 200
corries, which are difficult to date but probably developed over the
last 2 million years during the Quaternery. The moraines are also the
result of the last glaciation. The glacial deposit of till or boulder
clay was 20,000 years ago during the Devensian glaciation and is
therefore recent and gave rise to the drumlins. The deposits below
these are heavily weathered and very different from the last
glaciation. This is evidence of previous glaciation and is the only
site of two-stage glaciation in N. England. The till is quite thick
and in places up to 10m thick. The head of Langdale Pike has
moraines."

If you understood science you would have the answer and if you read a
little you would know that your claim is not true.

But, like Bible Bob, you have an inane view.

" Facts start out as theories, and then when enough evidence accumulates
become fact. There is no hard and fast rules as to what is fact and
what is theory. Nevertheless, 'facts' can be overturned quite easily,
either slowly through the accumulation of new knowledge"

Wow! Like the distance to the Sun was just a suggestion. After a
while the evidence accumulated and the theory condensed into the fact
of $93,000,000 miles.

Apparently there are no hard and fast rules dividing your hypotheses
from your observations, either. History and science is mere clay in
the hands of an experience manipulator of facts.

I have no idea where this rant of your comes from. That the
Mediterranean is closing isn't a theory. It's an extrapolation from
measurements. Perhaps you aren't aware that we can actually measure the
motion of tectonic plates now.

Yes, theories are revised. That's one of their strengths. That process
of revision leads to a convergence on explanation. As a phenomenon is
better and better understood, we can say things about it with more
precision and accuracy.

Perhaps I should have been less terse. Ice sheets kilometres thick
advancing south tore rocks from their original positions and then,
when the ice sheets retreated, the rocks were left as erratics. One
above Derwent Water is a rock type found in Scotland.

The first modern scientist did just that. But none of them found a creativ
ingeneer pulling the strings. The creation scenario quickly crumbled under
the weight of evidence against it.

And don't flatter your self, by claiming that the aim of science is to get
rid of gods. He's just collateral damage.

Once there was a big flood in the US, once there was one in Europe and one
in Africa. What indicates that the events were part of a global flood?

Sometimes it rains in Beijing and sometimes in Oslo and Tierra del Fuego.

So the mountains were smaller pre flood. Hmm... Any way of telling how much
they grew? How fast or how. Added sediments? Uplift? Magic? A bit of all
three just to make sure that all bases (and the mount) are covered?

I'm not asking you to find the answers to my questions in the Bible. I know
nothing is scientifically explained in that book. But you believe that the
description of events in the Bible is correct, and try to back it up with
scientific evidence. You're failing miserably.

Here is chance to score a few points though:
Show me some data that supports the idea, that all the flood events you
ascribe to the Flood, happened more or less simultaniously. Are any of the
current dating techniques reliable enough to give a conclusive answer in
your oppinion?

Or make a computermodel of a water covered Earth a have it, at your rebuke,
disappear gradually. Run different scenarios and see if any of them end
resembling what we actually observe today.

I shouldn't actually have used the term 'intrusion' since it has a quite
different and specific meaning in geology. But no big deal. You didn't act
on the mistake, but came up with an infantile straw man instead.

Speaking of straw men and burried trees. Nobody claims that all sedimentary
layers take "millions of years" to be laid down. There are many examples of
rapid burial af trees. Some instances have been documented in 'real time'.
Nothing mystical or magical going on I can assure you. Wush is the word.
Stop listening to the likes of Hovind. He's one of the liars.

They're not mere oppinions. If you'd take the time and read the links people
provide you will see that they are based on the available scientific
evidence.

Yeah, keep laughing. There never was a mystical global flood, and there
never will be one. But if you need to believe in one and probably plenty
like it, in order to stay in line, and don't mind being lied to, be my
guest. I'm not really laughing, I just have that smug smile on my face, and
you know there is nothing you can do about it.

Another convenient out. Like you really have been doing
stuff...*see??* LOL. You seem to think by reciting some mantra of
creative- anything can happen when you add an eon to it- theory, that
you are really doing something. You need to take it where theory
becomes proof and then logiical.

Your mountain collidings provide no inch by inch play by play much
less them uplifting. Then you have the audacity to say 'my' top
marine fossils are being left without lower elevatory fossils. That
would be YOUR need to prove! You deliberately ran from that. Keep
running!

Slow movement is not going to help you out. If it reaches any height,

Perhaps you will want to remember the greatest admired man on earth
describing the earth under water with a warned global flood, and

All aspects are covered. It all has to do with dramatic movements.
You need to get something besides a slow moving icer to get a rock to
roll 500 miles on flat ground. Talk about your glacier mountain and
give us a real scenario, won't you?

Well, look at water cases then. Try to figure out the difference
between a local flood and a more dramatic one. You need to stick with
a force that will move tremendous weight over long, flat distances. I
don't look at links unless the poster is telling us what we need to
know to look at the link. You haven't done that yet.

You read them. There is ample flood evidence from all earth sciences,
all cultures of relating the Flood, and even the people that have seen
the vessel on depicted mountain. You're new, and you haven't looked

Because of the evidence produced or left behind. Fresh fossils on
high places....and separated continents with the same evidence left on
both sides should keep you busy if you really will look into the

It's not my desire to. There is ample evidence that the Bible is true
and the event happened on its own merits, without involving science.
Science is brought in for those interested in science, and that's what
I do, tell people and create interest that science is working on the
Flood and coming up with huge answers. I don't need them per se, and
attempt to show the Bible message is the key for all life's existence
on earth; past, present, and the immediate future. It is interesting
though that the Bible depicted the earth as being round and not
hanging on anything well before science got around to that.

Your chance is to pick up cheap books, or re-read the threads. Lots
of catastrophism, suddenness, and geologicial finds. Dating
techniques are in the books, and what I have touched on is some of the
wood samples shown from the Ark to be in a good window of time period
by many. And it shows how techniques can vary on the same object as
well.

Really? It's a crux of many of argument that things are in the
stratas and other places that just shouldn't be there by any small
catastrophy or long period of time scenario.

When you come up with a palatable scenario from them, and can use
backup without assuming what you're trying to prove, then you'll get a
listening ear. So far its 0 for 3000.

Most every society has something to say on that earthwide. Maybe you
can start from there, and not make strawmen up about local floods that
are impossible and that they have the same basic Bible account of the
flood. There's a whole lot of water on this earth you can't account
for and science isn't helping you state how it got here...:).

You still haven't explained how there was any light on earth while

Have you forgotten? "Light will not penetrate more than 200 meters of
