So take everything they say on that site about the global flood and rebut it. Good luck.

Did you use the search option? You didn't try very hard.

Yes, I did use the search function, I put in "Noahs Ark" and it returned No Results (OK I missed the apostrophe) I then put in "Noah" and it threw up loads of results, none seemed relevant.
What search did you use?
Must try harder!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, to save me typing all day, I refute your nonsense with this...

It is called science.
Jesus Christ believed the Flood was a literal historical event. So did first century Christians, and so do true Christians today. (2 Peter 3:5,6 ; Luke 17:26,27)
Not only is there no evidence of a global flood, but there is missing evidence that should be apparent today. Not only would a global flood have destroyed world ecology but it would have made the world uninhabitable for hundreds of years, if not permanently through changes in the wobble and rotation of the Earth. Things like poisoning the soil, ripping off the top layer, destroying the oceanic ecosystem by scattering plankton outside the currents, poisoning freshwater bodies with saltwater and throwing off the PH, killing any coral beds and all deep ocean life through excess PSI, cold and lightlessness.
If the flood were an actual physical event it would have done a lot more than anything any evidence indicates.

The topography of the earth before the flood was evidently far different from what it is today. The Flood itself caused massive changes to the earth. This quote is from Insight On the Scriptures, vol. l p610; "With the sudden opening of the ‘springs of the watery deep’ and “the floodgates of the heavens,” untold billions of tons of water deluged the earth. (Ge 7:11) This may have caused tremendous changes in earth’s surface. The earth’s crust, which is relatively thin and varied in thickness, is stretched over a rather plastic mass thousands of kilometers in diameter. Hence, under the added weight of the water, there was likely a great shifting in the crust. In time new mountains evidently were thrust upward, old mountains rose to new heights, shallow sea basins were deepened, and new shorelines were established, with the result that now about 70 percent of the surface is covered with water. This shifting in the earth’s crust may account for many geologic phenomena, such as the raising of old coastlines to new heights. It has been estimated by some that water pressures alone were equal to “2 tons per square inch,” sufficient to fossilize fauna and flora quickly.—See The Biblical Flood and the Ice Epoch, by D. Patten, 1966, p. 62."

ICR is filled with science. Just because you choose to interpret the evidence differently doesn't mean they're wrong. That is an incorrect assumption.

Some have had their minds corrupted so that they do not believe it, though.

Opinion noted. Please see http://www.icr.org/index.php?f_sear...y&f_context_any=any&f_context_without=any&op= for some excellent rebuttals to your arguments.
It doesn't actually rebut anything, just restates the assertions not represented by actual evidence.

On the contrary it presents evidence from all over the globe. I guess you missed that.

No, it really doesn't. It makes a lot of presumptuous leaps about natural occurrences which have been time and time again shown to be not as a result of a flood.
And it doesn't actually address anything I posted. So maybe you should start with that instead of the disingenuous tactic of just copy and pasting any link you can find that supports your view an instead addressing questions actually raised?

I make up facts.
A few more questions for the Zoo Boat believers:
1 - What did all of these animals eat for the year that they were on the ark? What did they eat once they got off the ark?... seeing as all of the vegetation would have died under the water.
2 - Where did all of the water come from to flood the entire earth, and after the flood, where did it all go?
3 - Why didn't all but brackish fish die? The fresh water would have become brackish from the oceans, and the oceans would have become brackish from being diluted by fresh water.

Am I really to believe that Mt. Everest wasn't there 4,000 years ago? Seriously?
Sorry, I'm not that stupid or gullible.

Actually I was informing you by implying that you need to read up on Creationist arguments and evidence. You assume too much.
