Physics of the Biblical Flood

There were about 4 of these, each with compounding aridity (NO FLOOD ANYWHERE). These events all seem to be localized within specific latitudes about the planet. (Ill leave it to you to consider climatological realities , like the shutting down of deep ocean return currents .) STILL< NO FLOOD EVIDENCE

THis request is lame. MJ doesnt have to provide you with anything YOU ARE THE ONE MAKING THE CLAIMS.
I use C14 every day and the use of C14 will kick you in the ass because of my first post . We know that, by C14/C12/13 ratios, the many ground-water basins all over the planet share dates that far exceed your "Tel" assertion.

Several geologists have looked at the SPhinx and said that a rainfall event of about 8K years ago was responsible for the type opf erosion we see on the flanks of the sphinx. (Rainfall that gradually ceased, but nowhere in the Upper Egypt area are there any evidences of a flood of that time (There was a huge lake in the SUdan during the late Pleistocene but that was waaay before your assertion date)

When I get into a real debate with data, then maybe we'll talk. Im not the one making the claims YOU ARE.
Ive already de fused your
"Theres enough water underground to serve up a flood" That water hasnt moved and Im really weirded out that , if you claim to be a working geophysicist you dont have knowledge of the mechanisms of basin dating



I dont feel that you are challenging us with anything substantive, You are promising data but provide only assertions and more promise. Maybe your typical audience will eat this up but we demand a bit more out of claims.

I believe that i am correct in saying that the rhetorical device this member is attempting to use is technically known as "baffle 'em with bullsh*t."

Theres an old axiom from one of my old dept chairs when I first started teaching "Why the Hell are you doing all the work for them kids?""
Set up the cases an have em teach themselves -Theyre grad students after all".

That was my Duuuuuhhh moment. (Here too)

Pacer is asking us to provide him with evidence that he will try to knock down with hi assertions.
Im tiured of this, hes been given, How many pages? and all we are doing is dancing around the Maypole.

If his book comes out as a sci fi, OK , weve been buffaloed into providing him data to write up. If hes planning a real honest to goodness science book, Im gonna be really pissed.

So far he is claiming data from Geophysics and geology but has presented NOTHING SUBSTANTIVE. MJ feels his Archeology is also suspect,
And Pacer seems to be wanting to use an aridity point from the HOLOCENE to be the propogation time of a Biblical Flood, and he wants us to provide him data shooting it down. Weve provided enough so he can go back and look **** up. ( ihope his lectures to the Physicists at the Weisman Institute werebetter documented)

Theres a hellofa good page turner there so Im ondering whether this aint some sci fi guy.

Most Sci-Fi guys don't go in for the bible stuff. It makes for bad religion and even worse Sci-Fi.

Anyhow, I expect my fiction to exist within some framework of fact, or at least possibility.

I disagree, Valis, The Divine Invasion and The Transmigrations Of Timothy Archer all by Philip K Dick, are all very worthwhile. Philip Jose Farmer's Riverworld series isn't half bad either. Behold The Man by Michael Moorcock won the Nebula award.

I tried reading one of the "left Behind" books and found it short on reason but high on speculation . They added just enough science bullshit to try to be interesting and calm down the preaching. Must have worked .the damn books are grossing almost as much as the Harry Potter series

The point is, I carefully scanned the list to see where "WORLDWIDE FLOOD" appears and, much to my diwmay, theyve just ignored the entire event.. Yet we knew the approximate time the last Mammoth died. (It was a day off for most of the people)

Physics of the Biblical Flood?

This would be one of the necessary starting points...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbig–Haro_object

Pretty cool objects, but how do they relate to the Biblical Flood?

These objects form around very young stars (which our sun is not), 80% of which are binaries (which ours is not), and project along the rotational axis (which earth is not in line with), and interact with existing dust clouds (of which there are none in our solar system).

And even if one did exist there's no reason to think (or evidence to support) that such a phenomena would cause ground water to inexplicably leap from the earth's mantle and cause a giant flood.

Why the completion of Henge and not the beginning? That would put us back to 3100BC

They relate to the way in which matter in space (99 point something percent of the mass of the universe is in plasma form) forms up into galaxies, strings of galaxies, stars, and solar systems such as our own. In real life, it is twisted pairs of electrical currents (Birkeland currents) and the pinch effect which they generate which actually agglomerates plasma into solid objects. Gravity, which is by 40 orders of magnitude the weakest force in nature, has no power to create stars or planets out of plasma or even dust.

Herbig/Haro objects appear to be the most common form in which you would find an early solar system.

I imagine that , for the answer to that specific question, youd need to ask those who compiled the Timeline.
I was just looking for something in the BC newspapers that Herolded the BIBLICAL FLOOD.

I see that youre still pitching your electric universe.
Explain, if you will, (IN ENGLISH) how the electric universe negates science.

The henge on Salisbury plain was probably not a stone henge until sometime after 5000 ybp. The holes dug there about 5000 ybp may have contained blue stones, but there is little evidence for that* (see below), and none that blue stones were worked at that site. It is more likely that the holes dug at 5000 ybp were post holes, and that that was the period of the most elaborate wood henge.

There are bluestone erratics all over the island, but the surviving bluestones which were used in the construction of the henge came from the Preseli Hills in what is now Wales. The only bluestone rock chips in the area earlier the arrival of the Preseli blustones are from tool making. The amount of feldspar in the Preseli bluestones makes them unmistakable. The Amesbury Archer burials and the Boscombe Bowmen burials are considered strong evidence that the Preseli bluestones were transported to the area, especially as there is little geological evidence for erractics of that number and size there. The two burial sites date to about 4300 ybp, and as the grave goods are very rich--chert arrowheads, flint knapping tools, small copper knivess (thought to be ceremonial due to the small size) and beakers--it is surmised (no hard evidence) that both the Amesbury Archer and his "son" (a second, later burial of an individual about 20 years younger sharing a notable physical anomaly) and the Boscombe Bowmen (seven or eight individuals with one burial surrounded by six or seven in a ring abound that individual) represent "outsiders" who were nevertheless considered very important. (Hence, the rich grave goods.) Whether or not it is correct to associate these burials with the arrival of the bluestones is purely a matter of speculation* (see below).

It appears that the local builders had only recently begun using stone, having built wood henges previously. The use of stone probably dates to a period one to three centuries before the burials. It was also at about this time that local stone, the sarsens, began to be used. *There is now compelling evidence from compresion studies that the first bluestones may have been used as long ago as 5000 ybp, but that is still controversial.

By the way, what i find much more interesting is the evidence for the importance of the henge. Archaeological excavations in the last decade have uncovered middens with animal remains of juvenile, large game animals--their teeth indicate that they were either not yet a year old, or just more than a year old. Strontium isotope analysis shows that some of these animals were brought from as far away as the Scots Highlands. The historical synthesis hypothesis is that thousands of people traveled there for the winter solstice and summer solstice celebration, from all over the island. It also suggested that the site was very important when it was still a wood henge, before the building in stone began.

Ive always wanted to spend some time and look where the bluestones came from. Thanks set, whered you get the info on the provenance of the bluestone?
