The tops of the Himalayas were once the bottom of the sea. Uplift
results from continental collisions. Isn't it amazing how ignorant
creationist arguments are? Thanks for bringing them to light!

Are you saying the KT boundry represents the "Flood Layer"? If so, I
have a lot of questions that you will probaby ignore.

Naturally, since you have the cognitive abilities of a doorstop, the

As one would expect as a result of uplift, idiot.

Plate Tectonics, moron. Learn some *basic* fuckin' geology.

Start here:

And after that, you might try this:

Also, your *IGNORANCE* is not evidence of the mythical global flood.
Get used to that fact.

So in order to support your idea of a Deluge, you cite changes in
rates of...species divergence?

Speaking of which, time to start cooking. Pies and cornbread now, and

Leondardo Da Vinci had some observations on the fossils found on
the heights which suggested that they were not the result of Noah's
Deluge. From the "Codex Leicester", 10 verso:

"And if you should say that it was the Deluge that carried these
shells away from the sea for hundreds of miles, this could not have
happened since the Deluge was caused by rains; because rains naturally
force the rivers toward the sea with the objects carried by them, and
they do not draw up to the mountains the dead things on the sea-shores.
"And if you should say that the Deluge then rose with its waters
above the mountains, the movement of the sea in its journey against the
course of the rivers must have been so slow that it could not have
carried, floating upon it, things heavier than itself; and even if it
had supported them, then as it receded it would have left them strewn
about in various places."

"Selections from the Notebooks of Leonardo Da Vinci", ed. Irma A.
Richter, The World's Classics # 530, Oxford University Press, page 30.

This article has nothing to do with the fossils in the Himalayas, which were
laid down hundreds of millions of years before the events discussed, which
were around 65-60 MYA.

The authors certainly would not support your wacky interpretation.

Indeed, it is very well known and the explanation is the tremendous forces
involved in the collision of two continental plates (Indian and Eurasian),
which raised ancient sea beds to amazing heights. The uplift of the entire
plateau and mountain range is still going on, around 25 mm/year.

Wow, so the Flood was 325 million years ago and not 6,000 years ago? Who'd
a thunk it? Does this mean creationism is wrong? You bet!

Actually, it is quite a big thing and the Flood was fictional, not real.
Flood stories may, of course, be modeled on actual events involving local
floods.

Since we were already discussing it earlier, the original B. oleracea
gave rise to many other kinds like cabbage, broccoli, kale, etc. Its
use goes back to the Greeks about 600 BC from what I can tell. But
undoubtedly its use goes back earlier. Adam and Eve probably ate it.

But has anyone in all these thousands of years of recorded history
ever seen a kind of cabbage diverge and give rise to something as
different like a pine tree? Surely something like that would have been

Perhaps you should read up a little more on the formation of various
mountain types, before you make such rash claims again.

Hydrological sorting, obviously. The seashells, from heavy little
critters that lived on the sea floor, floated to the top and were
deposited first. Hmmm. That doesn't sound right, does it?

Perhaps the rushing water, roaring down the mountains in huge
temporary rivers, washed the little critters upstream and... oops.

OK! The clams were the fastest and smartest of the animals, and ran to
higher ground more quickly than the European cave bears, who were
overtaken by the flood before they got that high up.

Or perhaps God put them there to trick rational people into
disbelieving the ancient texts, the meaning of which is clear to
hundreds of millions of people, all of whom are believers in the same
doctrine.

It can't be that the Himalayan Mountain range is only 70 million years
old raised sea bed, consistent with radioisotope dating, geological
data, fossil index information, and all other pertinent data classes.
It can't be, because no special perception is required, and is
determined only by reality, which we all know is less reliable than
Madman's imagination.

What Leonardo said. Noah's flood would have washed stuff from the top
of the mountain, not made it fly up and land on top of the mountain.
Also, Noah's flood would have left fossils of modern species, not
extinct species from millions of years ago.

This is the whole problem with your world view- you start with what
you want to believe and then look around for something that vaguely
seems to support it and quit thinking before you find out it doesn't.
You want to think about changing that if you get tired of making a
fool of yourself.

Yes, plate tectonics. The seashells on top of Everest were originally on
a seafloor, and they were uplifted by the collision of the India
subcontinent with the Asian plate.

Which one would not expect to find if there were a global flood. Any
sediment left on the top of a mountain like Everest would have flowed away,
not become rock.

Since there isn't any evidence of a global flood, I don't believe it was

I am rendered speechless (almost). Right, let's have some of your weird

Do remember that "The Flintstones" is NOT a documentary, nor is that film
where Raquel Welch wore a skimpy fur bikini while her cave man fought
dinosaurs.

Don't let the actuality of plate tectonics interfere with your

You might want to learn some geology, particularly the part about
plate tectonics. The Indian subcontinent pushed north into
the eurasian plate pushing up seafloor to form the Himalayas.
It's all right there in the rocks. No flood is necessary.

Hint: Science in the past used to take the flood as a given,
until the idea was disproven by scientific investigation.

The Himalayas are young as far as mountain ranges go. They are still
rising. Of course mountains rise faster than erosion rates or they
wouldn't be mountains, would they? Most water in the atmosphere
precipitates out before it reaches the altitude of the peaks, so there
isn't going to be much erosion there.

Science at one time said that the earth is a sphere.

Later, science said that the earth isn't a sphere, it is an ellipsoid.

Today, science says that the earth isn't exactly an ellipsoid.

Science is always wrong, so we know that the earth is really flat.

OK i'm not a geologist. explain this to me.

if the tops of the mountians were once the bottom of the sea....

AND the tops of the mountains still exist

then how could erosion wear away what still exists?

It can't be hydrological sorting, because that would violate the
(creationist version of the) "second law of thermodynamics".

The location of the fossils represents "complex specified information",
therefore it has to be the result of "intelligent design."

In brief, the fossils are there because the creator/designer(s)
wanted it to look as if geology is correct.

not if it didn't happen in a human lifetime

seems creationsits think the universe is about 80 years old.

Not if uplift is faster than erosion. Also, you'd need to explain why
erosion hasn't removed the seashells from the top of a mountain if they were
simply left there by a flood.

One has seen the mustard plant "diverge" into cabbage, broccoli, Califlower,
kale, etc. There's no reason to suspect it would become a pine tree.

Vitamins in pill form are exactly the same as vitamins from eating plants.
They aren't any more beneficial in winter than they would be in the spring,
summer, or fall.

Yes. But diligent application of scientific methodology has found
those known errors. Other systems of claimed knowledge, such as
Creationism, have no way of minimizing errors, and therefore is chock
full of 'em.

Quick check for the lazy: science works.

My daughter, after reading a fantasy book: "Most people have no
understanding of science, and yet they believe that untestable claims
of various sorts [ESP, little green men, etc - ed]. They see these as
various rival systems of magic: science, witchcraft, televangelist
faith healing, voodoo, etc. Science has respect not because of its
truthiness, but because it is The Magic that Works."

It's creationists that think species magically poof into existence
from nowhere. And it's only creationists that think that your
cauliflower brain despite superficial similarities, could ever be pine
nuts.

Thinking that way lies madness. It's as though you think someone could
mate with a sibling and have kids who were their second cousins. It's
idiotic to even propose such an idea, and after all the corrections
you have had on this, it's just dishonest to keep pushing it.

LOL. Those broccolis you're eating probably came from the Central
Valley of California. And your antioxidant-rich grapes are from Chile.
Those sweet potatoes so rich in vitamin A were stored in controlled-
temperature, ethylene-free environments. How is that evidence of
divine providence?

Well, the ordinary cabbage, broccoli, sprout and cauliflower are very
different. If science didn't tell you they all share a common ancestor
you would not have know.

It has been. We recorder the divergence into totally separate species
of the cabbage, broccoli, sprout and cauliflower. What part of that is

Perhaps you can enlighten us as to the rate of uplift vs the rate of

Did you practice long and hard to be that obtuse or is it a talent?

If and when you prove that the only erosion that occurs is by water
alone, you may have a point, dufus.

Look up the Appalachians which, granted are geologically older (500
million vs 50 million years), are practically flattened out by erosion
and water had nothing to do with it. In fact, a good chunk of the land
that we know as North America is there because of the erosion of the
Appalachians.

Certainly, since you're too fucking stupid or lazy to look it up for
yourself; 2-12 mm/year.

Obviously less than the rate of uplift, or they would not have an
uplift rate. But data suggest the *average errsion rate for the
entire Himalayan range* is about 2.9 mm/year in the west and 2.1mm/
year in the east.

Moron! What makes you think the porcess which formed the Appalachians
originally is still an active and ongoing process like the process
going on now for the Himalayas? Do you even have a clue as to the

Listen, All-seeing -fool. If the rate of erosion is less than the
erosion (not "errosin") you would have a net gain in height of an
uplifing event. Want to see how long it takes to erode a big mountain
range? The mountains in the eastern part of North America are about
300 million years old and have been left out in the rain. The are
greatly reduced but still mountains. Go hike the Appie Trail
sometime. Heck, tell you what, lets go walking in Mingo County WV and
you can explain why the landscape should be flat due to erosion.
Iffn, of course, you can handle the greater than 30 degree average
slope.

Quite so. But isn't it interesting that some --many --people swallow all
sorts of pendulum-dowsing, faith healing, astrology, and such; but
reject organized religions. Now you don't have to believe a word of
these major religions to observe that very sophisticated minds have been
working on their doctrines for centuries to clarify them and often to
iron out some of the inconsistencies and difficulties: I'd say that
rejecting these systems but believing in untested new-agery is rather
similar to the rejection of science --often by the same people.

Sigh. The Flintstones is not factual. Modern dino descendants, AKA
known as birds, do walk with people today but not even you are dense
enough to depend on literal chicken scratches to refute the ages
between humans and big dinos. The tracks in the Texas river are not
human tracks and the touristy fakes are just that, fakes. Dragons are
not dinosaurs. Komodo dragons are not dinosaurs. Your delusions and
lies are proof of nothing but the poor state your decaying brain is
in.

That, and the Appalachian orogeneny ended over 150 million years ago,
and has been eroding ever since, unlike the Himalayan range, which is
still on-going. It's almost as if neither Nashty-poo nor AS-I(diot)

All-screeching-denial, have you ever heard of continental drift. Look
it up and look where the Indian subcontinent came from and how it
squeezed the ocean bottom up between it and the main continental
mass. This is why we find ancestral whale fossils of just the right
age to be transitional species in Pakistan. Why does all this fit
together and what do you have to replace it?

When it was, scientists found out about it, not people whose education

No there isn't and even you aren't stupid enough to believe there is.
So, I reluctantly must conclude you are lying.

So we can add geology and plate tectonics to the growing

I have to practice: obtuseness doesn't come easily for me. I was
wondering whether you might be able to give me some pointers. You seem
*really* good at it.

You'll point out where I made any such claim, of course.

I didn't know that. Please, go on. What caused the erosion of the
Appalachians? All that I've been able to find are references to water
and ice.

Yes. A minor discrepancy in what exactly happens. Which could be

The point is correct. It is the definition that is wrong.

Damn Chris. How many times do i have to explain?

Evolution takes place "after his own kind".

Original species X gives rise to species a variation of X and so on.

Any of the variations can give rise to another variation of itself
which is still a variation of the original.

IOW no species jumping from cats to dogs because of time, mutation and
NS.

In a straight line is what has been observed. Nothing else.

Has the original the original B. oleracea given rise to anything that
was not a variation of another member of the the original B. family?

What is idiotic is to suggest a water creature such as a fish can give
rise to a land creature. Nothing of the sort is even remotely
suggested by what we can observe for ourselves.

And this changes the fact that the original species of the cabbage was
perfect for humans and animals and gives the exact nutrients needed at
the perfect time of the year, --HOW??

Which just so happens to be what man and animals ate, in the
beginning.
