I'm quoted the Dr. intially to show how high the waters of the flood were but you decided to take it one step further and attack the man.

No, ziddina, you're quite wrong there. Does it make you feel better to poke fun at my screen name?

Tell me Cofty, what is it Dr. Mortenson is not qualified to do?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geology
Geology is the science comprising the study of solid Earth, the rocks of which it is composed, and the processes by which it evolves. Geology gives insight into the history of the Earth, as it provides the primary evidence for plate tectonics, the evolutionary history of life, and past climates. -

ziddina,
sounds like you were in an emotional frenzy writing that.

elderlite,
I see nothing of substance in what you're saying so let's leave it at that.

A nobody in the real world of science...

Like most people, Dr. Mortenson grew up in an education system that taught evolution as fact. During his first year at the University of Minnesota (where he majored in math) and shortly after becoming a Christian, he began to see the fallacy of the idea of millions of years of evolution.
With a Ph.D. in the history of geology from the University of Coventry in England and an M.Div. from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Chicago, Dr. Mortenson has lectured on the creation-evolution controversy in 21 countries since the late 1970s. He has spoken in homes, churches, schools (primary, middle and secondary), secular universities, Bible colleges and seminaries. Several of his popular lectures have been produced as DVDs and as TV programs. He has also participated in seven formal debates with Ph.D. evolutionary scientists in secular venues in four countries.
He is the author of numerous magazine and journal articles and several book chapters. The revised version of his PhD thesis was published as The Great Turning Point: the Church's Catastrophic Mistake on Geology--Before Darwin (Master Books, 2004). With a deep burden for seminary professors and students, he co-edited and contributed two chapters to the scholarly 14-author book, Coming to Grips with Genesis: Biblical Authority and the Age of the Earth (Master Books, 2008).
He is a member of the Evangelical Theological Society, has presented six creation-related papers at ETS annual meetings, and spear-headed the formation of the "Creation Consultation" sessions at the ETS annual meeting beginning in 2008. He has also helped to lead four by-invitation-only 7-day rafts trips down the Colorado River through Grand Canyon for seminary and Bible College professors and other key Christian leaders.

Still, it takes 8-9 years to get a PHd does it not? He must have learned something during those years. And 10 minutes spent researching his material does not make you qualified to do a peer review.

Now you're being sarcastic elderlite, I have no need to repeat myself.

This is speculation on my part, but consider the passage in the scriptures where Jesus had gone without food for 40 days and 40 nights. He still lived, sustained by God's spirit. I'm not saying that's what happened, but it's something to consider.
