The features too and that is easily proven.Millions of years old! Yeah, the rocks are.....but not the features they form! If the mountains were that old, we'd see rounded stumps, from all the weathering and extreme erosion they endure!
Yet what do we observe? Clear, distinct features on most, with attributes revealing a relatively young age!
In fact, it's the most obvious evidence supporting the recentness of the global Flood.

It is annoying to me that so much talk around Religion seems bent on making it either too mysterious, or false.
Then there is just a great deal about the Science world that seems theoretical and perhaps not for the common folk.
I'd suggest that so many things that we do not understand appears that way simply because we try to ignore anything that occurs outside our very limiting three dimensional existence. In my world, so much of what goes on in the Bible and Quran that seems mysterious and forbidden to us could simply be a bit of bleed over from other dimensions.
I'm frustrated that so much of what has gone on in the distant past is subject to attempts to write it off as too loony to have happened. Right now, I am thinking of the Old Testament, and the pointless discussion about whether the burning bush, the flood, or the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah happened.
As far as the flood is concerned, there are scientists who postulate that there is 5 to 7 times the amount of water in the oceans submerged deep in the rock below. So perhaps it is likely that the flood could have happened very easily, as in the Biblical description?
One of my favorite incidents is what happened in the book of Ezekiel? Scholars see it as either not real or too holy and mysterious to be discussed. For me, a previously unseen being that just flew his dimensionally shifting craft in to have a chat with Ezekiel. Nothing strange going on here folks.
The interesting thing about dimensions is there is always attention on higher dimensions. If such planes of existence are a reality, then why can't we ourselves locate and enter a 2nd dimensional plane and observe the inhabitants?It is annoying to me that so much talk around Religion seems bent on making it either too mysterious, or false.

And it can easily be shown that water from space would cook Noah and company too. As I said, any source that you rely on will cook Noah and then you have the problem of explaining where it went to.I agree... there is so much science is learning and adapting to finding possibilities based on a statement that might be in error.
For an example, what if as in (Enormous water reservoir found in space is bigger than 140 trillion earth oceans ) water surrounded the earth? There would be no evidence if it melted and fell to the earth adding to the water that is currently found.
Or what if a catastrophic magnitude 10 earthquake that unleashed the water under the earth and jetted mountains?
Regardless of "what if's" every major religion said it happened. Did everyone have a pizza burn and just thought it up? Or was it relating a real event and translated into every religion

From comets I'd say.I once read an article that said much of the water on Earth came in by Asteroids. Apparently this is still happening today, um Summat.
The asteroids that formed the Earth were probably the source of its water. There are several different types of asteroids and some have measurable water in them. It was thought at one time that it may have come from comets since they are mostly ice, but a isotopic analysis of the water in comets indicates that they are not the source of our water.I once read an article that said much of the water on Earth came in by Asteroids.

Too high of a percentage of deuterium:From comets I'd say.
At least the snowballs contributed (per the article).
What a heartfelt summary of your experience!I was driving south from Fossil, Oregon, on Thursday, and it would be dark in another hour. I'd just had a range grown Ribeye Rare, well half of it, and my thirst for blood was sated. Much of the time driving out there, I turn off all the electronic media and commune with the creation around me. The eighth Moon and Mars floated above me and would set in a while. Rounding a bend, I startled a Doe, but she did not jump in front of me as they are sometimes wont to do.
Around here is the Old Country, laid bare in often deeply eroded canyons. Fossils from a once verdant sea laid barely buried or completely exposed.
After a while, I turned on the Radio, only to hear someone piteously wailing about the pure and risen Jesus Christ. I don't have issue with the Christ, but the wailing and ridiculous caterwauling caused me to punch the off button in grief. It was that sort who cast me out to be consumed by satan for what they'd imagined I'd done. The truth was not spicy and lurid enough for them.
Presently, the Sun set, and the driving began that demanded complete alertness, as I headed out to Prineville, Or. In that country at night, I reduce my speed to not much about 45 mph, and drive with my brights on. I can often go for a half hour, or more without seeing another car, but the Deer, Elk and others that reside out there have no lights. Often if I find an open spot with exposure to the sky, I'll stop to watch the glorious march of the Heavenly bodies that dwell there. Sometimes I wish they would speak to me and tell me of their lives. If the Lord and I converse, it is mostly quiet, compelling and sometimes easily missed.
I park my car back in PDX half past midnight, and sleep late.
Tonight I'll seek to pacify my Editor, and try to write another installment of a soppy romance about an almost young widow who has hired a companion, escort to take her to dinner and the movies. Oh, what will they get up to that is permissible?

Of course. All it takes is an ability to do a little math. How much water do you need from space?Really?
Enough to create a mist that waters the earth. How much water would there be, not in space, but just enough to have a mist covering the earth?Of course. All it takes is an ability to do a little math. How much water do you need from space?
No, not nearly good enough. How are you going to cover the mountains as per the myth. Everest is more than five miles high.Enough to create a mist that waters the earth. How much water would there be, not in space, but just enough to have a mist covering the earth?
Do the math:
If you do the math, that is about 56,000 gallons of water in one cubic mile of fog.
Everest has sharp peaks, new mountain. Catastrophic earthquakes touching off volcanic activity beyond our comprehension?No, not nearly good enough. How are you going to cover the mountains as per the myth. Everest is more than five miles high.
Sorry, but the dinosaurs died off roughly 65 million years ago. The Flood myth is supposed to be a recent event.Everest has sharp peaks, new mountain. Catastrophic earthquakes touching off volcanic activity beyond our comprehension?
And you didn't want to do the math?
After all... was there a catastrophic event that killed all the dinosaurs millennium before? Or are you of the position that those things don't happen?
