BTW, I'm not talking about finding plants in the Spring stage of blooming in one hemisphere and Autumn leaves in the other. We find all sorts everywhere, in different layers. This in itself is suggestive - and even more so when one considers that young-earth creationists often claim there were no different seasons before the flood, and that the whole earth was on a single schedule, as it were.

The earths crust is layered and in most cases the lowest layers are the oldest. It takes thousands of years at the very least, for the fossilization process to take place. All forms of life have been and are being fossilized. I would run from anyone who would entertain the idea that all fossils are the result of the Biblical flood. Even if the flood was fact, it could not be responsible for all fossils. Take that persons advice with the proverbial, "grain of salt."

The flood that wiped out all creatures millions of years ago, the meteor that ended up on earth that killed the dinosaurs, I believe were all theories. That is why scientists and other experts are continuing their search to at least have an idea on which of this theories may be more accurate.

because thats NOT how fossils were created
holy crap now im gonna have to explain how fossils work....
An animal dies, decomposes untill only bones are left, then it somehow gets covered with sedimentary rocks(rocks formed from tiny peices of rock, or "sediments", that get cemented together with water and dirt), since the sedimentary rock was formed from little bits of rocks, they get into all the cracks and spaces of the bones and the shape of the bones is forever preserved once it hardens, then more sediments pile up over the centuries untill there is enough presure to fuse the rock and bone, then it gets dug up or unearthed through erosion, and there you have it, a fossil.

To answer your question: I don't believe literary in the Bible Flood. The event was a local one between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.

Well there were seasons before the flood. What makes you think they did not have winter, spring, summer and fall?
And of course, there are those of us who know that the story of the flood is a teaching story not history.

uhm,uhm,uhm....a Yale education but no common sense. Before the flood it never even rained on earth before, so we don't know ANYTHING about how fruits,plants,and seasons differed from how they are today. Go back to class.

Well remember, the earth is 6,000 years old and was created in a week.
So summer was on Wednesday ... autumn was on Thursday ...

Because the whole climate of the world was different before the flood.. That is also why you find the elephant like mammoth frozen in the Alaska glaciers.
