Qeustion for everyone that does not believe in the great flood?

Question

How do you explain Austins Sediment?
It is a layer of white sedimentary deposits found all over the Earth at the exact same depth everywhere. This white sediment is only caused by a flood.

Answer 1

To Conscience-X:

They are! There are fossils of trilobites on the top of Mt Everest.

Answer 2

You'll have to provide some resources. Even the wiki article on Flood Geology doesn't mention this and I can find no quickly and easily referenced sources mentioning it in geological journals.

The only layer found globally, as far as I can find, is the K-T boundry which is an iridium-rich layer, meaning it had to have been caused by a non-terrestrial mediator (a huge meteor) since iridium is extremely rare on Earth otherwise. This layer is dated to about 65 million years ago, correlating (though still not 100% certain causal) to the mass extinction of the dinosaurs.

Answer 3

That's a pretty interesting fact, all on it's own.

BUT...

Don't believe everything you read.

How many sources agree with your statement?

Also, have you considered ALL the available information?

Have you considered information about various facts in other categories that prove or disprove of a great flood?

If there was a flood, where is the proof of it's link to the bible?

When you can honestly address all of my questions, then your question will be worthwhile, (to me).

Answer 4

The only sediment universally found around the globe is that which was left when residue from the asteroid impact 65 million years ago coated the planet with an iridium rich layer. There was no mass killing flood, it is a fairy-tale.

Answer 5

Why don't you write up a paper, have it peer-reviewed and published in a reputable scientific journal?

Don't forget to explain how Noah got 2 of each of the millions of species of animals on his little boat. And don't forget the seeds from the millions of species of plants that he would have had to store on there too. And explain how he went from continent to continent and island to island to collect all those species before the flood and then after the flood distributed all those species back into an environment appropriate for them. Did he take the same routes that Santa uses to get around to all those houses overnight?

Man, you are going to be so famous after the world recognizes your genius!

Those liberal atheists with all their fancy book learnin' can just eat it!

Answer 6

There have been many cataclysms in the history of the Earth. Most were long before recorded history. I do not doubt that there were a few "Great Floods" but as to whether they were the biblical catastrophe is another story. Using geological data to prove your point only counts if you use geological dating as well. Since bible believers cannot reconcile true time with biblical time that argument is mute.

Answer 7

If there was a global flood, where are all the fossils of the sea animals? We would be seeing them everywhere including places like up in the rocky mountains.

Answer 8

Wow you are soooo right, hold the phone while I call every geology department in every university in the world and tell all the professors that you have just revolutionised the subject. After that I'll call the Nobel prize committe and tell them I have the next sure fire winner, you are also a shoo-in for the Royal Academy of Science once you get your papers in order.

Answer 9

There's no such thing as "Austins sediment".

If you want to ask a question, figure out what the thing you want to ask about is called.

Maybe this is what you're looking for?

Answer 10

It is not a fairy tale. It happened, it happened world wide as that was known to the people of those times. The world as they knew it was very small, the flood happened between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.
