Of course I am mixing theology with science. How do we approach a discussion of Naoh's ark and the flood otherwise?

There is absolutely no way Linda, that if a world wide flood of immense proportions occured, that it would not have melted or at minimum, caused the floating movement of, any, even massive chunk of ice pre-existing on this earth. The glaciers do not simply exist in places because the air temperature is cold there. the water temperature has to also be considered, streams, like the gulf stream, do move and affect water temperatues in various places for instance. If a flood occured, any 'streams' of that nature would have been rendered insignificant, more probably non-existent, for a period of time. You might consider even that some of the glaciers are actually remnants of the flood, a result and remainder of it.

There is no argument among geololgists that sea water covered a good portion of the planet at some time in the past. Himalayan sea salt is an excellent example of proof of that. Fossils of deep sea life are found in extreme places. the timeline is thrown off quite a bit once it encapsulates the needed lingth of time for 'evolution' to take place though. Do you truly believe that the Himalayan sea salt sitting on my kitchen table is hundreds upon hundreds of millions of years old?

Sediment gets washed away by floods generally, not vice versa. So I am not real sure you can even consider a static model of any sort in that respect. try diuping a pile of mud into a puddle while it's still raining, raining hard and see if anything at all is left in the morning. It will probably actually end up half a mile down the road. Imagine that on a large scale. the most i think you can hope for are areas of dried up seabed in enclosed valleys where things clustered in a last attempt to survive (because they did not move on when waters were still deep enough) but died when the waters receded.

there are many Christians who accept evolution. i would argue however that they are not Christians but simply like to call themselves that for some strange reason. they are theists of some sort i guess or claim to be. Maybe a different religion... but the bible clearly teaches that God created life, not that it evolved. so they actually lose any hope of their true christianity right there in the first sentence. Jesus is the son of God, the bible speaks often of God creating and God knowing persons even before they were born. There isn't much room for evolution in there.

though you may say 'many' believe that, many many more Christians believe that God created life, spoke this world into existence. the evolutionist 'christians' really are a minority in the category, and outside of their minority category are viewed with huge disdain by the rest of the christian community.

You should try to at least answer the question 'how did Jesus raise himself from the dead?' I am not making a joke, this actually leads to some very interesting places that seem to be being overlooked.
