Creationists, when did Mt. Everest first attain a height of 28,000 feet?

Question

Since there was so much hair-splitting in the last question. (It's current height is ~29,035, by the way.)

Answer 1

Why should I spend my time worrying about this. Will this information alone help me to get into Heaven?..I think not
therefore this question is quite pointless to this creationists

Answer 2

Not a question that God sees fit to answer. A notable geologist of the past decided, without any evidence, that "the present is the key to the past." In other words, "Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation" (2 Peter 3:4).
Your problem is that there is good evidence that not only was there catastrophism (severe "natural" disasters), but that processes we take for granted operated at different speeds then: particle decay to tectonic plate movement. Could Everest have been raised in millennia instead of eons? Yes. Was it? God didn't say. He did use the word "yowm" which is translated "day, time, year" but is usually used for "day."
Rather than the hair splitting, I propose that you carefully read the Bible first.

Answer 3

Every since someone called it Mt Everest. When it was not called Mt Everest it was still the same heighth. Well, of course, we would have to say approxiamately for the last million years or so, and then depending on the Geological affects on it, it was higher or lower prior to about a million years ago.

Now, if we could find some certain fossils of fish on Mt Everest, we could really go nuts.

Answer 4

After the earth had a run in with a comet or cosmic ice ball. This ice ball fragmented as it approached the earth, raining down chunks of ice. These chunks of ice were close to Absolute Zero. They engulfed animals like the woolly mammoths. That is the only explanation for quick-frozen animals of that size. The only way we could do something like that today would be to immerse the animal in liquid nitrogen, or some other super-cooled liquid.

As the ice ball approached the earth, its gravity caused fractures in the earths crust. This released subterranian water. It also set the stage for the crust folding which caused mountain uplifts. The mountain uplifts also resulted in a deepening of the oceans.
That's where the water went.

Answer 5

Better yet how much rain had to fall per hour to cover Mt. Everest in 40 days?

Answer 6

How should I know I wasn't there.

However, the earth did not start at 1 foot above sea level the entire way around, did it? That'd seem quite improbable.

Answer 7

I am not a Creationist, but my answer is that over millions of years the tectonic plates of the Earth pushed against each other giving rise to mountains where they compressed.

Answer 8

in biblical terms the land was once a part of a whole. the land was divided. it couldve happened then, but when Jesus was crucified the book of mormon also describes a great earthquake, it is also described as a time of complete darkness.
The mountains coulve been formed then! only 2000 years ago.

Answer 9

I suspect 500 bc

Answer 10

After Noah and family passed over it in their big boat full of critters.
