They call it the Hydroplate Theory. Despite what their Bible says about God opening the heavens and sending rain, they have created this drivel about there being pockets of water that God put in the earth that errupted into the sky, flooding the earth, during "Noah's Flood". Never mind that there is no evidence for this at all, nor is there enough water on the earth, even with the ice caps completely melted, to cover all the land.
It is sad & pitiable, that they want so badly for their superstitious nonsense to be true that they will invent lies to dispute observed reality.
If they want to believe Noah's flood then they are worshipping the wrong god. The story is of Babylonian man named Ut-napishtim, which predates the bible. So instead of Yahweh, they should worship the god Enki, who sent the flood in the original story.
Also, if the flood explains the extinction of the dinosaurs, then why did sea reptiles, too, go extinct at the same time? Salinity drop wouldn't matter.

Here, here! I agree with everything you've said, and I have nothing to add. They get nuttier every day.
I thought saddles on dinosaurs was the limit.
P.S. - Well, at least the "Catholic Crusader" gave me something to chew on. Love our neighbors? Great advice. You won't hear me arguing with that. Now - why is it that we have to associate this great practical advice with a series of legends that are notoriously, demonstrably untrue, and then pretend that the value lies in the legends, not the advice? If "Christians" can answer that one for me, I'd appreciate it.

I am not amazed, ppl in the religious sect have always lied, & made up garbage to defend their faith. What is so sad & scarey is that many of these delusional folks hold office in high power. Look at Ohio schools, on the verge of teaching creationism in science class. Your little tidbit will probably end up right next to it. When/why did our society get so weak & intimidated by these lunes? They are not dealing with facts or a full deck. I am more disgusted by the rest of society that accepts this garbage into the public arena.

Don't forget the fact that a flood of that magnitude would create so much water vapor you would drown when you tried to breathe, or your lungs would be crushed under the immense atmospheric pressure.
And the fact that it is not possible to build a wooden boat of that size that would not leak.
But those that take the story to be literally true won't let silly things like facts get in their way!

The direction that Creationists are currently taking may eventually backfire on them. Rather than achieving its aim to "create" a set of reasons for Biblical Creation to be taught in schools as a scientific theory the Creationist movement may cause faithful god-believers to flee their religions for their being such bald-faced frauds and inventing these fantastic lies.

To Catholic Crusader... Thanks. That was a very congenial way to sell the Catholic doctrines. Please take the time to read the above anti-creationism documents... Your current Pope and the previous Pope agree with their spirit, and one link, the first, is a direct quote of Vatican a Cardinal that I know you'll find interesting. (it's a short and to the point quote.)

the bible takes a lot from other religions and beliefs, not just about the original story of the flood.

A charming and inventive bit of twisting. What tangled webs they weave!
What slays me is the sheer lunacy of believing that all the species in the world lived within walking distance of Noah's place.

I only know this:
Jesus Christ taught us to love our neighbors. Can anyone argue that the world would not be a better place if we all followed this greatest commandment? I am a Catholic, which means I am a Christian above all else. I hope everyone can follow this teaching of Jesus, whether you are Christian or not.
If you would like to know more about my faith, I suggest that you go to Catholic Answers at http://www.catholic.com and then look at the left sidebar: You will see many subjects. You can click on one and see tracts that will answer your questions. Also, the search engine searches 20 years worth of articles from "This Rock" magazine. There are a lot of great articles there too
The"official" Catechism Of The Catholic Church is online at: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/entiretoc1.htm
This is a difficult document to read. (The book is about three inches thick!) But, there is a wealth of information there too if you take the time to learn how to navigate it.
May the Lord our God bless you and keep you, and cause His Face to shine upon you.
