    Snowbird, you believe that just 4000 years ago there was only one continent? Do you realize that the most catastrophic earthquakes are caused by the earths plates shifting just a few meteres? What would have happened to the earth if the continents shifted thousands of miles in a short time period? Do you think life would survive? Dont see how that makes a flood more possible anyways.. Can you explain how the Great Barrier reef has been growing for 18 million years with the most recent growth becinning 8000 years ago and no interruption since? In a Global flood, the pressure from miles high water would have killed the coral, and buried it with silt. Coral dies without very specific conditions of light.

    Can you explain the existence of trees that predate the flood? Do you think they would survive under the pressure of 7 miles of water above?

    Can you explain egyptian culture predating the date for a global flood, and existing after it with no changes whatever? What about Minoan culture? Chinese? All show documented history unbroken by any flood.

    Can you answer these questions Snowbird?

    I believe there was one single landmass in the days of the Flood.

    No, I can't answer those questions and neither can you or anyone else.

    Who's alive today to say how many years ago this or that happened?

    Who's alive today to say how many years ago this or that happened?

    So you don't believe that, for example, Napoleon ever existed, because no one living today saw him?

    Why do you believe there was only one continent just 4000 years ago and not hundreds of millions?

    Do you have ANY evidence of any kind?

    Why didnt the rules of physics and tectonics apply, rendering the earth uninhabitable when this breakup of the continints happened?

    Lastly, have any ideas how the earth was covered in water when there is only enough water in the atmosphere to cover the earth a few inches and not Miles?

    You being ill-equipped to do so doesn't mean everyone is. There are people who can answer your question.

    Who's alive today to say how many years ago this or that happened?

    Trees.

    I think the Bible, in translation, does become distorted. I feel the "world" was all the area these people writing the Bible books knew, and not the actual entire world.

    I am also facinated that Napoleaon's brother Joseph was a tobacco farmer in Va not long before my great-grandmother, whom I met and knew, was born.

    Snowbird, if it was all one landmass then boom the flood how did animals in turn get to all these land masses after getting out the big wooden box.

    Snowbird, if all these continents had plant life and they all instantly moved to different climates why didn't all these plants die out in the new found heat or cold? (Let us not wonder why they didnt all die in the 40 days worth of Salt water.

    You ask me if I have better but why, you said it as if the answer is so simple yet you do not have one. I am aware that you are waiting for your bible belt crew to come give you support like the fictional angels that ran to Jesus but before they get here just think about these things.

    You say people were jealous of your intellect please demonstrate it here so I can be jealous, or better yet learn something. Please do not quote the book of Jasher especially since all the books that are suppose to be the book of Jasher are not actually the book refered to in the comic book you call the bible

    How far back do written records go, Sir82 and others?

    The Genesis account states there was water above and water below.

    Evidence points to Mars at one time being covered with water.

    Where did it go?
