Odd Announcement at District Convention
by daniel-p inwhen i was at the latest district convention a few weeks ago there was an odd announcement made.
i don't remember it very clearly, but it was something about noah and how he knew what rain was and that it must have rained before the flood because of that.
also, there was something mentioned about the water canopy and how 'our' understanding of it may not be right.

So far, it looks like this was only announced at Dan-p's convention. I will be going later this summer, we will see if it's announced there.

The Global Flood and Antarctica - Can we have both?
by mavie ina thought came to me this morning in the shower.
i was thinking about ice cores scientists have drilled in antarctica from which they can measure conditions that existed 650,000 years ago.
this got me thinking, how could antarctica have been around that long if the global flood as described in genesis really happened?

Insight Book - "Deluge" pg 610
So, after the floodwaters fell, but before the raising of mountains and the lowering of seabeds and before the buildup of polar ice caps, there was more than enough water to cover "all the tall mountains," as the inspired record says.
Is this the portion from the Insight volumes which are seen as advocating no ice caps pre-flood? If so, it looks like the WT gave themselves a way out by using the phrase "before the buildup", meaning they could have existed in a much smaller form.
Good discussion guys.

Dan-p,
This announcement seems really out of place. New light coming in the form of a brief comment between talks? Has anyone else heard this at conventions this year?
As far as Antarctic ice cores being 650,000 years old...how can a JW reconcile this with the flood account?

A thought came to me this morning in the shower. I was thinking about ice cores scientists have drilled in Antarctica from which they can measure conditions that existed 650,000 years ago. This got me thinking, how could Antarctica have been around that long if the global flood as described in Genesis really happened? Wouldn't all the ice in the world have melted at this time?
Second, JW's believe that the entire Earth was protected by a water canopy of sorts which surrounded the Earth. This water canopy is where much of the water causing the flood came from. After the flood was over, all the extra water from the canopy froze around the poles. This is supposed to have happened 6000 years ago. This begs the question, how can pockets of air 650000 years old be trapped in this Antarctic ice?
Any thoughts?

I highly recommend you read Michael Crightons book, "State of Fear". Especially those of you who are 'intrigued' by Gores book or movie. The book is entertaining as a thriller with a fictional plot line, but the facts presented (and documented) are authentic and educational.
After watching the movie, then coming on the board to see someone advocating a fictional book as a refutation....with all due respect, is laughable. Jurassic Park had some hard science in it as well....
There is one figure in the film which plots the levels of CO2 in the atmosphere and the global temperature of the earth over the past 650,000 years. This data is based on ice core samples from Antartica. The tail end of the plot (modern day) shows CO2 levels at an all time high. Now, I've heard others claim that CO2 levels have been 10 times higher than currently observed. Can anyone tell me how this absurdly high estimate was calculated?

Thanks for the links Kid-A.
Cyrus, first time I've heard your line of reasoning. I think the JW answer would be along the lines of "Jehovah can accomplish all things, new lasting teeth would be a minor fix".

That was an interesting post Kid-A. I was wondering if you can provide some information to me for further research on this issue.
