Not to mention that valleys don't need rivers. Glaciers carve them and
they also form through uplift.

Yes, I agree that glaciers can cause the development of valleys. Noah's
Flood also caused the development of thousands of canyons.

Noah didn't exist nor did this flood...

I've heard stories that the story of Noah was greatly exaggerated over
time and was originally a story in the Epic of Gilgamesh with a man
named Utnapishtim.

Utnapishtim was a trader. He dealt in alcohol, grain, an animals. He
took his boat out on a river to trade with the local villages. He was
massively in debt to his creditors. When a local flood threatened his
trade, he packed his family onto the boat and the flood washed them out
to sea. They went so far out to see that they couldn't see land
anywhere around them.

While out there, they caroused with the alcohol and ate the animals and
grain. When the floodwaters subsided and Utnapishtim went ashore, they
were in a different country. Fearing retribution from his creditors
(they consumed the delivery), he settled his family in the different
country (apparently modern-day Qatar).

That story morphed over time to Noah carrying all the animals of the
world on his ark and the rain caused Noah to not be able to see any land
(assuming that the floodwaters had swallowed even the tallest of
mountains). It was also where the idea that Noah was a drunkard came from.

Nothing supernatural. Just man embellishing a story over and over again
until it was almost unrecognizable as the original story. Game of
telephone, y'know?

It's my understanding that other cultures have their own stories about a
worldwide flood. Many of those stories are similar to the story that you
posted above and the Noah's Ark story.

Those types of stories lead me to believe that they were passed down from
generation to generation. It's called the oral tradition. It's my guess
that Noah and his children was the original source of those stories.

However, they are not similar at all to the one from the Epic of
Gilamesh, nor are they similar to the Biblical flood story.

Some have no survivors.

Some have only people surviving.

Some have only two people surviving.

The reason and cause for the flood are different.

The list of differences is long.

But I am sure you get my drift.

Yes, but some portions of all of the stories are similar.

Yes, like the bit about being flooded with water. AFAIK, the ancient
Egyptians didn't have a Noah-style flood. In fact, about the time
they should have been drowning they were in the middle of a drought.
It caused the fall of the Old Kingdom and an interregnum before the
rise of the New Kingdom. The chaos was recorded in a tomb built
during the interregnum. Meanwhile the Chinese, Indians and the people
of Skara Brae went about their business unaware that they were
drowning.

Well when it comes to evidence: Your posts in the historical record
show that what you "believe" is wrong just about 100% of the time.

Why don't you ask your parish priest what the RCC says about a literal
bible?

About the only "similar" is they all involve water. many don't even

I have outside on very cloudy rainy days. The entire sky was covered with
rain clouds. Guess what--I could easily see without making use of a flash
light. That is how it was prior to Noah's flood.

This idiocy goes beyond being stupid and a liar. And make no mistake,
you are both.

It is pure insanity. Even if you don't believe it.

Your crazy claim of a canopy that can hold enough water to flood the
whole planet up to 30,000 feet above sea level is much more than a
thunderstorm on a rainy day.

Do you have no capacity to understand the scale of things? Even
something this massive?

You are a stupid, lying, insane, racist bigot.

Why do you insist on behaving this way?

And those clouds would not even be a pimple comapared to the amount of
water (or water vapor) contained in said canopy.

Light will _not_ penetrate past 200m of water. The canopy would be
kilometers, not meters, thick if liquid, hundreds of kilometers if in
the form of vapor.

Again, light will _not_ penetrate more than 200 m in water. Just as a
scientific fact will not penetrate even 1 nanometer into your head.

Now factor in the vapour needed for 29,000 feet of water. Result -
black. Back in the mid sixties at about 3 in the afternoon, the
clouds were so thick that it was dark in the playground. The pupils
were wandering around saying "The end of the world is nigh" and the
like. BTW, it didn't rain.

I don't know how thick the canopy was.

I don't know if you are correct. I have never done any deep sea diving.

Do the maths needed for a canopy shedding nigh on 30,000 feet of rain.

Your ignorance of deep sea diving is no surprise, though enough
programmes on deep sea creatures have been on TV to confirm the lack
of light from the surface.

Did the clouds you saw hold enough water to completely cover the earth,
up to the top of Mt. Everest? The answer is no.

Here is something for you to look up. Find out at what depth in the
ocean is the sunlight completely gone. HInt: it is a lot less than 5
miles.

You refuse to believe anything anyone ever tells you about science that
you get wrong and make pathetic excuses like your 'deep sea fishing' one
here, but you will believe any lie that the criminal con men at ICR or
AIG tell.

Why do you worship liars like Ken Ham?

Then do some. If so you will notice what everyone
else with lots of dives has seen: Virtually all marine
plant life is in the first 30 feet of water. By 60 feet
there is very little. By 100 feet there is none at all.

Now, tell us how the marine plants AND the creatures
that depend on it could have survived being under miles
of water for months.

Or, post your usual "God must have made a miracle

YOu don't have to "know" it. all you need to know is that light won't
penetrate past 200 m and then apply a bit of common sense to how thick
the canopy had to be...not in exact terms but in fundy terms, THICK!
or mayby VERY THICK! or "my god! it would have to be at least
thousands of feet thick".

Of course you can always fall back on.

"There was a flud, my bible tells me so"

In which case quite trying to explain it and jsut say "goddidit' which
leaves you looking like a fool also by not the damn fool you showing
yourself tobe now.

You don't have to "know if I am correct". All you have to do is
google for "penetration of light in water" and then deny that what you
see is correct. Just the usual fundy lie, deny, distort approach.
Keep in mind the canopy would by kilometers thick, not 200 meters.
You have already tried to play that card.

I don't know if that is correct. We have had some major rain storms in
California that have lasted for seven days in a row. That leads me to
believe the canopy layer did not have to be very thick.

I don't believe the canopy was very thick. It has rained in California for
about 7 days in a row. I will never forget it. Lots of people were worried
about flood damage. Lots of people that lived near what I believe is
called the Russian River lost their homes. I don't live near the Russian
River but recall seeing videos of that area on the news.

Yes, I have seen those types of shows--totally dark.

I don't believe the canopy level was very thick.

So you missed the bit about doing the math to figure it out for
yourself. Is that because you are too lazy to bother or too ignorant to
have a clue how to figure it out. What is clear is that everyone who is
competent to do the work knows that your claim is totally absurd. Rain
in one location is not remotely related to the story of the global
flood. You need to stop being so proud of your foolish ignorance. Stop
having an opinion that you cannot back up with facts.

Just because certain experts claim that the canopy would have had to be so
thick that sun light could NOT get thru it--does NOT mean the experts are
correct.

I don't believe the canopy was very thick. I believe it was not very thick
since I have seen it rain for about 7 days in a row in California. The
last 20 days of Noah's flood was probably from water that had evaporated
from the oceans and huge lakes. I don't believe the experts that came up
with the VERY THICK canopy theory took that factor into consideration.
They probably incorrectly assumed that ALL of the Noah's flood water came
from the canopy.

What has that got to do with Noah's nonexistent flood? The nonexistent
canopy would have had to hold enough water to cover the earth to a depth
of 5 miles or more. In the case of the California storm you are babbling
about, the rain came from a number of storms coming off the Pacific
Ocean. IOW, it was raining hard in part of California, but not in a lot
of other places, and the rain was fed by a number of storms coming off
the Pacific. If Noah's nonexistent flood had happened, it would have had
to rain at the rate of >360 inches/hr., or 30"/minute. That couldn't
happen, and, obviously, didn't happen.

I believe that the water during the first approx. 20 days of Noah's flood
came from the collapsed canopy. The rain that fell on the earth during the
last approx. 20 days of Noah's flood came from evaporated water from
oceans and large lakes. That rain also helped flush huge amounts of salt
from soil. That may be the reason that Noah and his family were able to
plant a vineyard soon after the flood was over.

Name a single rain storm that lasted 7 days without letting up. that
would have been 7 days x 24 hours x 60 minutes, or at least 10,080
minutes of nonstop rain. I guarantee that this would have been a
major news story. The longest rainstorm I can find reference to was
59 hours in England back in 1903. That is less than 2 and a half
days.

Why are you running from my points? Why don't you try to come up with
evidence that clouds that are thin enough to allow light to pass through
hold enough water to cover Mt. Everest. That, in order for Noah's flood
to have happened as told in the Bible, it would have had to rain at a
rate of 30 inches/minute?

You were told that the area around the Grand Canyon was a sea bottom at
one time by several posters quite a while ago. The fact is the land was
uplifted over millions of years such that it was no longer a sea bottom,
and the Colorado River gradually, over millions of years, eroded the
Grand Canyon.

The minimum thickness of the canopy wouild have to be the same as the
depth of the water covering 'the highest hills' or a bit less
depending on how high up the canopy was.. To be even that 'thin' the
canopy would have to be liquid water. If the canopy was water in the
vapor form, like clouds, it would be some one hundred times thicker
than that.

No matter how you play around with your mythical canopy, it cannot be
made towork for several different reasons.

Darkness
Weight
Heat
Source/destination.
Atmospheric pressure.

Pick any one and we can discuss it.

So your canopy was _less_ than 200 meters thick? That would mean the
max rise in the water level on earth could not have been more than 200
meters. Hardly even noticeable when you are trying to "cover the
highest hills".

The canopy had to be almost as thick as theh depth of Ye Flud

that is FACT and not subject to "belief"

Jason would rather hang on to his beliefs than accept the facts that
prove those beliefs to be misplaced.

Well with that much water the pressure would be phenomenal, the heat
incredible, the weight unbearable, and the darkness total.

But as to where it all came from and where it all went, I can only
quote my venerable philosophy teacher who said "f**k nose". :)

ROFLMAO! ROFLMAO!

If it is evaporating as fast as it fell, then the depth of water would
not be changing and would not have covered "the highest hills".

You poor brain damaged deluded fool.

No, they do not "claim" there was a differengt source for it. It is
known FACT there was, namely tectonic plate activity.

I don't remember. It did NOT rain every hour of every day. However, it did
rain about 7 days in a row. You may want to google the "Russian River". I
do recall that it flooded and some of the people that had houses near that
river lost their homes.

According to Genesis it rained for 40 days and 40 nights until the
entire Earth was flooded. That's about 30 feet per hour. Your
picayune storms pale in comparison.
Do the maths.

I found some info. on the internet today. Some Christian has a theory that
I have never heard before.

One Christian claims the mountains were not very high prior to Noah's
flood. I have already told you how to find that website.

You don't get the logic (or rather lack of it) in your position, do
you. According to Genesis almost 30,.000 feet of rain fell. Where
did the water come from if the canopy wasn't thick? Do the maths.

If you choose to believe he has told the people that read his
mini-magazine is telling lies in that mini-magazine--so be it. I continue
to believe he is a Christian and is telling us truths and believes
whatever he tells us.

I found it interesting that no posters told me the Grand Canyon was once
covered with ocean water until after I pointed out that ocean creature
fossils were found at the top of the some of canyon walls. I claimed those
sea creatures got there as a result of Noah's flood. It was at that point,
various posters told me that the Grand Canyon was covered with sea water
for some other reason.

A fellow Christian came up with a different theory. He claims the
mountains were not very high prior to Noah's flood. If he is correct, the
canopy did not have to be very thick.

Over 600 My the Colorado plateau has been submerged several times,
with the last time 250 MILLION YEARS AGO. Stop saying people
'admitted' that fact, as though you are the earnest seeker after truth
who dragged it out.. You are entirely ignorant of geology. You have
admitted it. You know nothing about the layers of rock in the Canyon,
one of which is effectively a fossilised desert from Permian times.
You have refused to explain how any flood can form such a layer.
While deserts are being mentioned, the Atacama and Namib have been
arid for millions of years. You can, and do, ignore those points but
they destroy your flood myth.

Your "one Christian" clearly knows as much about mountain building as
you. In other words - nothing. Your latest website re Mexico won't
open. The message is "Sorry, we can't find "biblegeology.net". Please
check the spelling of the web address"
Why are you so incompetent?

How? your website isn't there! The error message is "Sorry, we can't
find "biblegeology.net". Please check the spelling of the web address"
Why are you so incompetent.

Who is this "fellow Christian"? Where is his research published? Is
he also a professional, or even amateur, geologist? Such a claim, if
true, would earn a Nobel Prize.
Oh wait, It's Jason telling us. I wonder if this person even exists?

Can't or won't? After all, it's boring trying to prove your point.
The info was posted a few days ago.

It wasn't relevant with regard to a mythical flood. A quick glace at
http://www.bobspixels.com/kaibab.org/geology/gc_layer.htm would have
shown you that some layers were formed underwater. You never do your
own research. The top layer contains fossils. Forgot that, didn't
you? You were told. It takes millions of years to form those fossils,
not a floode 4 or so thousand years ago. You were told that too.
Why are you so mendacious.

bilicalgeology.net/2006/noahs_flood_in_mexico.html

If that does not work, try a google search for

"Noah's Flood in Mexico"

One Christian believes the mountains prior to the flood were not as high
as they are now.

Poor Jason saying you believe that someone believes what they have
said is true doesn't make it true.

The web site does not open. Please either give a working url or tell
me who he is and what he is saying. I'm fed up with your
uncooperative attitude.

You are still lying. Having it rain off and on for several days in a
row isn't unusual anywhere, and is common many places. So you are
just talking about "rainy conditions". This has no relationship to
your fictional flood, where it would have had to rain 30 inches of
water EVERY HOUR of EVERY DAY, EVERYWHERE around the WORLD FOR FORTY
DAYS NONSTOP. Please note that when you see a very heavy rainstorm,
it's probably dropping about one inch an hour.

Why do you lie Jason? You are so very bad at it. Why do you do it?

Why do you lie?

You are still lying Jason. You kept saying mountains were formed IN
THE FLOOD out of SEDIMENT. You never produced the name of a SINGLE
mountain that was formed this way.

You are still lying Jason.

Ye Gods - Tas Walker! Jason tried to pass other pieces he was
responsible for as worthy of note a while back - they weren't.
