Is there a person out there, of the conservative Christian persuasion, who can present what they consider to be a believable, logical, non-faith based scenario as to how, when, and...well I guess we all know why...this whole flood thing all went down?

A large someting hit the earth about 6,000 years ago or so.
This caused the earth to tilt, the geological plates to move and separate the land into the current continents, and volcanoes erupted under the sea.
The plates (some or all) had floated on a layer of water. The pressure on the water was released when the plates moved. And when the plates moved some raised on a level and some cracked and came up vertical forming mountains.
In some places water came as rain and in some places the molten rock fell in layers and in some places a mixture. Much ash in the sky had blocked the sun for some time.
Some of the water that had fallen had gone high enough to freeze and cause snow. This was the or an ice age and is why the north and south cold polar regions exist.

After the ark settled down upon the mts. of Ararat, how did the South American tree sloth manage to make it down to South America? Again...non-faith based. Is there fossil, or any kind of paleontological evidence supporting this long and seemingly immposible journey which began a mere four thousand years ago?
May as well also inquire as to the trek made by Australian marsupials? Is there any kind of scientific evidence that would lend credence to such a recent event.

Not getting into the ark thing, but is interesting how the separation happened and how the differing climates and animals happened to be where they are.
The elephant and tiger are in Africa and Asia. The lion was in Europe and at least the Middle East (Asia Minor) as well as Africa. Monkeys are all over the equatorial zone.
And what of all the animals unique to Australia? Were they concentrated in a certain area and that area broke from the main continent? And perhaps whatever remained on the main continent (now Asia) had died off?

A large someting hit the earth about 6,000 years ago or so. Wow. Given the age of the pyramids is though to be about 5,200 years this all happened quick quickly. And the 8 million years of dinosaurs is just a hoax? These are some interesting thoughts. The floating rock would need to be explained in a bit more detail. |

And the 8 million years of dinosaurs is just a hoax? These are some interesting thoughts. The floating rock would need to be explained in a bit more detail. I originally had "about 10,000 years ago", then I changed it to 6,000. I cannot remember why I changed it. Could have been something associated with the Bible story. Still, a lot can happened in 800 years. I don't know about the 8 million years of the dinosaurs. I think I never said that did not happen. I would not contend for the 8 million years. Might have been one million years. Anyway, I have no doubt that dinosaurs - the mammoth, T-rex, brontosaurus, and what have you lived on the earth. I have no details on the floating rocks. I do think, though, that there is some truth to what is myth or associated with myth. I think in the Bible there is something about the fountains of the earth springing up. This could be connected to the plates floating on water. Perhaps the term "floating on water" is in error. Perhaps the plates just had water underneath them. Some plates a lot of water and some not so many. |

Wow!
Sounds like some one has been reading Velikovsky

The Flood was Yahweh's way to destroy those upon the earth because of the wickedness and spare Noah and his family..when Yahshua walked the earth he said in the end times those conditions before the flood would be manifest again

I have never heard of Velilovsky.
Worlds in Collision
Ages in Chaos. vol 1
Earth in Upheaval
Mankind in Amnesia
At the time I was fascinated by his books, it all sounded so plausible
Later, I had reason to question some of the ideas.
