Humans Caused Extinction of Australia�s Prehistoric Giant Animals

[Bret]

Nothing in Berthault's experiments deals with clay varving nor other natural clay deposits. They do not suggest anything of the sort. He only used sand in his experiments.

I'm wondering how his experiments take faunal succession into account. Or how they explain the existence of sub-aerial igneous deposits. Or a hundred other things.

A freshman college level lab experiment (I taught Geology lab in graduate school) cannot do any of the above.

The Genesis Flood is not known by any objective evidence that it ever happened. An ancient tale developed from Babylonian, Canaanite and Ugarite mythology is not known, nor supported by evidence.

Your remarks suggest that you have never heard of the Nippur tablet, which is older than the Gilgamesh Epic and also monotheistic, implying that Gilgamesh came after Genesis, not before.

Moreover, you have not yet shown awareness of the sheer scale of demographic testimony for such a flood, coming from cultures all over the world, with great divergence from Genesis in key respects and yet also often with telling congruities such as names similar to 'Noah' for the character who survived it.

As for the claims in this thread that the results of Berthault's work were well-known long before he did his experiments, kindly explain then why the French Academy of Sciences received his paper, and why Nature published the results of similar work by evolutionists a decade later?

(1) Lazarus taxa.

(2) You seem to be under the mistaken impression that all Flood geology models involve the whole of the earth's surface being underwater during the entire Flood event. Yet again, it seems that its opponents don't always do their homework thoroughly.

Ut is becoming more apparent that humans are more responsible for the extinction of the large mammals.

Those early humans were hungry and bigger animals provide more food.

What Flood geology models would those be? I've only ever seen one with the whole Earth's surface under water all at once.

If you're willing to discuss Flood geology there are some interesting geologic formations I'd like to discuss with you. You game?

This is not the topic of the thread, and none of the above is accurate. I may start another thread based on this.

See: http://www.theologyweb.com/campus/sh...735#post471735 for a continuing of this topic, Willing to fully discuss your assertion for a literal Genesis and a flood Geology. Please make it clear whether you are promoting a world flood as described in Genesis, or an abridged regional flood, for which there is no evidence for either in the time from of Genesis.

In this thread please stay ON TOPIC!

Yes, names such as Deucalion, Wirili-up, Wigan and Bugan and [two unnamed siblings] (to pick four at random) are very similar names to "Noah".

So, just like Jorge, then, only with less sound and fury signifying nothing.
