Can I ask you a serious question? Are you saying that it is absolutely impossible for a global flood to have taken place?

You have a mechanism where it could happen? Cause nobody else has one.

Yeah, I've been know to say that.

After the continents formed then yes.  And within the last billion years certainly yes.

Before the first stable continents formed it was possible, but that was over 3 billion years ago.

Seriously? How can you possibly say there wasn't 30,000 feet of water over the whole Earth at some point and it all drained away to create the Grand Canyon and not leave any other traces in the geologic record!

BTW, who did Noah's grandchildren breed with? Checkmate, athiest!

If by global flood you mean the flood narrative described Genesis chapters 6â€"9 then yes the event described in Genesis is absolutely impossible. The Genesis flood narrative was borrowed from Mesopotamian mythology.

Ok so, right now you're giving me your evidence. Do you use your reasoning to decide what this evidence proves?

Wrong way 'round. You need to show that it  was possible. Otherwise, it's just the same old goatherder bullshit.

I believe in a lot of crazy things because God has revealed them to me to be true. I've not witnessed them and A lot of the time I'm not sure about how they exactly happened but I do know for certain that they did happen.

You can not say that it did not happen for certain. Therefore you can not know that it didn't happen.

How did it happen? I don't know. Did it happen? Absolutely. I don't have to know how God made a cow to know that he DID make a cow. I don't have to know how the flood happened in order to know that it did happen.
