Overwhelming evidence for a worldwide flood!

[Reece]

How much more evidence do people need to accept the reality of Noah's flood?

I watched the clip, and it had great production value, but it would have been a lot better if they had cited their sources. Most skeptics would simply point out that the claims aren't substantiated. I thought the Grand Canyon theory was a bit weak as well. I've never heard anyone talk about fossils atop Mt. Everest either. How do we know any of these claims are true or not? Where's the proof?

I think they want the Ark itself:

Everest:

"...FLATOW: All right. Could you find fossils that showed when it was at the bottom of the ocean - on the top there?

LAGESON: Yeah. Those limestones at the summit, there are fossils reported from those carbonate rocks, and they're mostly little tiny marine invertebrate animals, little sea shells, essentially. And using high-powered microscopes in thin sections of the rock, we can identify what those animals are.

FLATOW: And I know that, Conrad, this is - we're fascinated by this, and that's one part of your mission is an educational part, to let everybody else know about it. ..." - Mount Everest Still Holds Mysteries For Scientists

In the end Hebrews 11.6 is the watchword for belief in Creation, the Flood, etc. If all the scientific proof were out there for the world to see, there would still be plenty of clever, educated people who would deny it.

True. The carnal mind is at enmity with truth.

If a mountain was in the sea, that doesn't indicate a global flood though. It just points out that they used to be below sea level. If some geological activity thrusts the sea floor up into the sky, that isn't due to a global flood. Aren't they suggesting that these fossils were deposited at the higher elevation while it was at that higher elevation?

It seems like it makes more sense for there to be a global flood prior to all of this seismic activity. When the earth is relatively flat, it's much easier to cover the whole surface, right?

True. The carnal mind is at enmity with truth.

If the bible didn't exist, the scientific community would be suggesting the possibility of a global flood, and atheists, skeptics, etc. would be eating it up.
