Ammonite, ;-) There are so many problems with the flood myth
How do you construct a wooden boat of that size? Engineers have found there is a definite maximum size to the construction of wooden boats due to the structural integrity of wood. You just cannot build wooden boats of that size as they fall apart under their own weight. People have suggested the "Gopher wood" was stronger than normal wood but why then would it become extinct and never seen again when so many other plants and trees survived ?

Also if you remove land masses and cover the earth with water then the weather patterns have nothing to slow or stop storms or waves, they would sweep round the earth in increasing severity, even now rogue waves can build to enormous size and power threatening the largest of modern steel ships, how would a massive floating wooden barge survive such conditions ?

Several groups have built or are building replica arks ON DRY LAND not one has been game enough to try to build one that is capable of actually floating and seaworthy !!

I repete my questions

(
(1)what happened to the thousands of species of trilobites please ?

They were flourishing in all the oceans of the world and would appear to be perfectly suited to no only surviving a world wide flood but as many of them were scavengers they should have increased in number rather than go extinct.

(2) if dinosaurs died out in the "great flood" why did "modern" fish and marine mammals survive yet marine dinosaurs did not

(3) how did coral survive "the flood" It spawns once a year, it cannot survive turbidity it needs constant sunlight to survive it cannot survive even small amounts if fresh water

The story of Noah's Ark, like so many bible stories, is a gift which keeps on giving.

The more you tease apart the claims made by these tales, the more questions, holes and outright fallacies are revealed.

No religious will ever answer the issues you raise because there are no rational answers. I thought the point you made about climate on a planet completely covered by water excellent, but one of many conundrums that both biblical testaments contain. At best the tales are analogy, at their basest they claim that following god's word will mean that their souls will live on forever in happiness - selfish? Much.

That the majority of non-christians, or even non-religious can live their lives helping and caring for others - continues to be ignored by many christians. And these same people demand that all children be taught their dogma at the expense of the tax-payer.

Appalling.

The earth has plenty enough water. Most of the earth's surface is covered by water as it is. If you smoothed out all mountains and ocean valleys, the average depth of water over the earth would be many hundreds of metres.

(1) if you believe in creationism and the flood story would you be so kind as to answer the questions I have posted.

(2) are you seriously suggesting that the surface of the earth was "Flattened" several thousand years ago and then "Re constituted" to it's present form without leaving a single piece of geological evidence ?

If this did happen where is the geological evidence to support your claim?

Such an occurrence would leave a single alluvial layer through all geological structures on earth. No such layer exists to my knowledge.

I await your reply and answers.

(1) Why did coral survive the flood where trilobites didn't?

I don't have the perfect answer. You would be better off asking a marine catastrophist or seismologist. Others have tried to model the events of the flood to seek detailed explanations for the world as we now evidence it.

I would say your question compares to this: when there is a tragic car accident, howcome one person survives when another involved does not? It's possible we could do exhaustive investigations without ever perfectly recreating the event to give a totally satisfactory answer. (That doesn't mean we don't try.)    

(2) I am saying the pre-flood earth was quite different to that of the post-flood. For geological evidence of the flood, I think you need to look at it from a different angle. I think you hold a uniformitarian view of geology where the rock layers represent different time epochs or sequences. This is why you're looking for one layer to represent one event. A flood theorist, however, might say that the flood was a world changing cataclysm. And much if not most of the sediment was laid down at the time of the flood.  

Sorry dan you fail

try again these were the questions
I have asked scientists and experts in these fields many many times and the answers they give make perfect sense. Evolution over a geological time span.

Now I am asking creationists to come up with decent logical rational answers to simple questions.

2 choices: Answers or admit you are wrong.
