Evidence that Catastrophic Event made Britain an Island

Please tell me, why would a flood make Britain an island? Where did all that water come from? It just poofed out of thin air?

No dipshit, it's believe to have come from an ice-damned lake.

Why do you insist on making us look bad, you theistic troll?

Hey, thanks for the link.
I just want to know Xans' perspective, that is all.
Theistic troll? Oh, I'm hurt... :cry:

Look at the article in the beginning of this thread or look into the hydro plate theory for an answer.

OK, genius, then why is Britain still an island? Didn't the water from this flood go away?

The water from this flood settled into what we now know as oceans. Look into the hydro plate theory.

Choose between science or make-believe and just stick with it. It's not that hard of a choice, really.

The hydroplate theory is creationist science, and isn't even a theory. Do you really not have anything better than that?

I know, that sounded odd...
I mean, with all the water already here on earth, where did all that extra water come from to flood the entire earth.

The water came from underground.

Water deep underground? Kola Superdeep Borehole:

To the surprise of the researchers, they did not find the expected transition from granite to basalt at 3-6 kilometers beneath the surface. Data had long shown that seismic waves travel significantly faster below that depth, and geologists had believed that this was due to a "basement" of basalt. Instead, the difference was discovered to be a change in the rock brought on my intense heat pressure, or metamorphic rock. Even more surprisingly, this deep rock was found to be saturated in water which filled the cracks. Because free water should not be found at those depths, scientists theorize that the water is comprised of hydrogen and oxygen atoms which were squeezed out of the surrounding rocks due to the incredible pressure. The water was then prevented from rising to the surface because of the layer of impermeable rocks above it.

I see your reasoning. You've deemed creationist science unfavorable. Thus any claims made by creationist scientists will be false. There is a logical fallacy in your reasoning. And the hydro plate theory is a theory.

Xans, creationist science isn't science because none of it has been tested properly. All creationist science has failed in peer review, which is why it never gets published in journals. The hydro plate theory is at best a hypothesis, maybe proto-science.

If you say so, it must be true. Wishful thinking and crackpot ideas are now scientific theories.

Maybe you need a refresher course on what science means, and how theories are developed.

Let me see if I can get this straight.
Observation: There is water under the Earth's surface.
Theory: All of the Earth's crust was floating on an immense deposit of water, which broke through to the surface, flooded the entire world, then went back underneath to float the Earth's crust again.

Yep, that logically follows. How could I have ever doubted creation science?

Oh, ok. He was sticking with make-believe.

Carry on, Xans.

One day, you might perhaps manage to post something that doesn't make you look like a retard. I'm looking forward to that day.

Maybe you need to learn that science is the best means to an end, not the end itself. How theories are developed can vary.

So you get it "strait". The water didn't go back underneath the crust. It settled into what we now call oceans, the earth's hydro plates slid apart making room for this during the flood. The water found in the Russian drilling is simply residual water left over.

Xans, do you really believe this baloney? or are you just yanking us?
