Would sharks and T Rex buried together lean toward the flood?

Do you have any education in the sciences? Let's start off with how streams erode the landscape. Streams have three general "ages". The first, the youthful stage is river that is moving fairly rapidly. These are found in areas of high relief, in other words steep slopes. The river will cut a fairly straight line. Fast flow in a river means straight lines. As the slope lessens and the stream will enter its mature stage. U shaped valleys with minimal turning. As the slope lessens even more and the river slows it will form meanders. Meanders are the "old age" of streams. The river slowly erodes the landscape with oxbows forming and sometimes cutting themselves off.

If one has a steep gradient and a high load of sediment one can get braided streams, those can form in rapidly moving water, but they have no true meanders. Often creationists mistake one for the other but one can see the difference. Braided stream:

Meander:

Sometimes a meander is established and either sea level drops or the land is raised. Here is a tributary to the Colorado that flood believers cannot explain:

That could not have formed in a flood and I will be happy to go over with you why that is the case.

I didn’t know you need an education in sciences to post “your thoughts” here...
Sorry dude - won’t happen again !

To my understanding (not to be confused with how anyone else should understand);

Belief in God - you need to believe in something you can’t see...

I don’t believe you, and that’s ok - this is (still) a free country. Just wondering - could it be - that one person - who has defined erosion... maybe wrong?
God is not wrong, you don’t have to believe me - or him - it’s ok it’s (still) a free country.

You can show me you have black hair, but if God tells me you don’t - I’m not going to believe you.
But that’s just me - not anyone else

If you have no education in the sciences then you really have no business denying science. What you do not seem to understand is that by you claiming that there was a Flood you are also claiming that your God is a liar.

You don't have to believe me. You only need to understand the evidence. Unlike the creationists that you linked I do not need to lie to support my claims. You used a dishonest source. That does irritate me a bit.

You should also not make the mistake of thinking that the Bible is the "word of God". The Bible does not even make that claim.

Tell me, why do you believe that God lies?

I’ll make any mistakes I want to...
That’s my right!

Again - who are you - to tell me not to make mistakes...


You may be right - but now - you’ve totally driven me back to my own understanding.

Thank you

If your trying to help - you’ve failed
Again - thank you, glorifying God is greater than the Grand Canyon.

If you want to look foolish and ignorant I you do have that right. If you want to push your false beliefs upon others then you do not have that right. Too many creationists want their lies taught in public schools.

How have I failed? Does it irritate you that you are claiming that your God is a liar? You may not realize it but that is exactly what you are doing. The evidence clearly tells us that there was no flood. By claiming that since it is in the Bible and your make believe friend wrote it you are logically also claiming that your God is a liar. This is why most Christians do not believe the Flood myth. That is a problem that is concentrated more in the U.S. than any other western country that I know of.

Most Christians treat the story as a morality tale and nothing more.

Man you got some issues huh?
We do have the right to push false beliefs...
You should check your name tag - it doesn’t say manager...

Not irritated at all

And that is the thing. If you want to claim that the beliefs of others are false then you do have to be able to prove that. A book of myths written by early iron age peoples is not evidence.

I can support my claims. You used a source that I can show requires their workers to swear not to use the scientific method. That makes them worthless in a scientific debate.

Your logic totally escapes me..
your trying to tell me something else created the Grand Canyon..

You heard that from somebody - or read it ...
Using your logic - I shouldn’t believe you (my make believe friend)

We know that the Grand Canyon formed over millions of years. This is not because I heard it from someone else, that evidence is there for those that wish to learn. You on the other hand do believe that it was formed by a magical flood because it is in a book written by people that did not know any better.

This is why you first need a good grounding in the sciences so that you can even understand what is and what is not evidence. Most creationists refuse to learn even this very basic part of the sciences.

One cannot understand the sciences and honestly believe in the flood myth.

Ah - I get you now
You are the only one who is saying “the beliefs of others are false”.

We are very alike - I will believe God no mater what
You will not - no matter what.

The difference between us:
I don’t care about you, not to be rude - I don’t know you ... and it seems you care slot about me

Your confused by what I believe
God is not capable of lying...

That would make your comment - untrue
As with all your comments.... maybe
No, I am not confused at all. You are projecting. If God is not capable of lying then there was no flood.

All of the evidence out there tells us that there was no flood. For there to be a flood God would have had to have planted false evidence in an attempt to mislead man. That would make God a liar. By claiming that there was a flood you are also calling your God a liar.

The evidence it did - is in the Bible
Last time I checked that was wrote before the book of erosion (your make believe friend wrote - not to say that guy is not real - I just don’t think you have friends - not to be rude - your just over critical)
