Noah's Flood: The Science That Doesn't Add Up

6:40 Not sure what you said about Mt. Everest, but that's supposing it existed in the pre-Flood world.*

I propose neither Mt. Everest nor the Mariana Trench did.

Less water was needed, since the pre-Flood mountains were less high and when the Flood was over, new depths was where it went, partly, and perhaps at first a glaciation.

7:17 Here** is a response from CMI:

Mountain building occurred as a part of the geologic processes that deepened the oceans to take the waters off the land towards the end of the Flood. Some mountains could have existed before the Flood, but none like the current Himalayas, Alps, or Andes in height. In any case, there is only enough water on all the earth to cover mountains about 3 km (2 miles) high, if all the ocean basins were raised. So, if the waters were not 9 km deep, but much less, the question is no longer an issue.

7:45 4.5 / 1.386 = 3.247 times.

8,848.86 m*** / 3.247 = 2725 [m], so basically 3 km, when the Flood was at its highest, which may be higher than 15 cubits over the pre-Flood highest mountain, since that would have been the height when the Ark took off.

8:27 Two problems with your proposition.°

1) You are pretending the height reached (after 40 days) was the height of Mt. Everest. This is wrong. No creationist would agree to it, especially none within the Creation Science fan base.
2) You are also pretending rain provided more of the water than the fountains of the deep. As if the latter provided basically none of it.

9:20 15 inches per hour. I have a conversion problem. How much is 15 inches in liters per square meter?

Because in one and a half hours, DANA in Spain, Valencia, shed 460 liters per square meter. Wait, I found two conversion things°° on the internet, and it seems it was 12 inches per hour.

Now, take into account:

24 or even 36 inches per hour would be physically possible (twice or three times DANA)
the height to reach would be only 3 km, if as much
the time to reach it would be longer than 40 days if water rose further than 15 cubits above the highest mountain
and the reaching would involve depletion of collapsing subterranean water reserves, which lowered the ground.

I think the problem is answered.

9:38 "millions of species" ... nope, other strawman, you do not need each species of a kind, you only need one species per kind, in order for the kind to survive.

Fish, invertebrates, possibly amphibians too, would not need to be passengers on the Ark. Calculate c. 17 species per kind. Like there are 17 species in 5 genus of hedgehog, and hedgehogs are one kind. All 17 species split from each other after the Flood, from one couple of hedgehogs on the Ark.

I think that problem is solved too. And I think it is clear, you have consistently ignored Creationists giving answers, and then pretended to present unanswered problems.

11:03 The waste problem is answered without shovelling the classical way.

Dung groves, water, rolling of the Ark = daily cleaning, work free or nearly.

11:33 How about some kind of compost?

Here°°° is Sarfati from 1997:

It is doubtful whether the humans had to clean the cages every morning. Possibly they had sloped floors or slatted cages, where the manure could fall away from the animals and be flushed away (plenty of water around!) or destroyed by vermicomposting (composting by worms) which would also provide earthworms as a food source. Very deep bedding can sometimes last for a year without needing a change. Absorbent material (e.g. sawdust, softwood wood shavings and especially peat moss) would reduce the moisture content and hence the odour.

This would keep the overall weight of the arkload relatively constant too.

11:54 If you had read the article, you would have seen the rolling of the Ark as an asset for the ventilation.

As to the waste problem, you arguably always used Water Closets. Have you heard of Dry Closets and composting?

since the Bible was written 13:07 it was really easy to take this at face 13:09 value science had not progressed 13:12 anywhere near far enough to be able to 13:15 really start to refute some of the 13:16 claims that are made in the Bible

There is a commonsense thing which has always stopped people from believing newly invented nonsense stories pretending to be their past.

If this that or sundry is supposed to have happened to me, why don't I recall it?

If this is supposed to have happened to grandpa, why didn't he tell me?

If this is supposed to have happened to grandpa's grandpa, why didn't grandpa tell me he heard it from his grandpa?

This does not need any kind of progress in science.

And your view of people being so easy to bamboozle before the last 200 years of science simply doesn't make sense in psychology, whether you call it a science or not.

13:39 You conveniently have forgotten to mention progress made by creation scientists during the last decade.
