RAZD: I see absolutely no reason to believe that a biblical flood occurred. There is zero evidence I am aware of to support such a concept, in spite of continually asking creationists for real objective evidence.

Jeanie: I've never really questioned it so haven't seen a reason to gather "evidence" but have watched Discovery channel shows! : ) There are claims out there the ark has been possibly found...or can be seen in Turkey. But personally I see lots of things as evidence. The great salt lake being one... I imagine you have something to refute that. But nothing I've read in the threads prove anything to me.... Haven't read through all you've sent yet, but the tree thing (bristle cone, not sequoia, excuse me : ) But I come from a different viewpoint. I come to the discussion with faith the flood did happen and see things as possible evidences rather than trying to find evidence it happened before I will believe. Ever heard of the principle, "Faith precedes the miracle?" That works on a lot of levels. What if you approached it with an open mind and prayerfully? I'm not afraid of the truth. Whatever it is....but I'm quite certain a flood DID happen because the Lord has revealed it through his prophets down through the ages and even history has repeated its event over and over....before communication happened globally. Lots and lots of variables could have caused changes in the environment to alter what seems as proof either way since then. I don't know enough about science to state its accuracy in testing, but, still, the "evidences" used to claim it didn't happen seem to be based on some rather circumstantial evidence. I can't explain it...but that doesn't mean it didn't happen.
