It really is sad to a creationist [to] see so much scientific brain power go to waste going down blind alleys of research that lead nowhere instead of applying it to real reasearch and examine evidence in light of a global flood which obviously happened.

Funny how this "obvious" flood left absolutely no evidence, and multiple civilizations who lived at the time have continuous records through the era of this flood with nary a mention of mile-high waters - you'd think someone would have found that noteworthy, wouldn't you?
If it's so obvious, then why isn't there proof?
Those blind alleys of research like organ transplants, the genome project, rocket propulsion, AIDS treatment, cancer research, vaccines, anti-bodies, radiation therapy, prosthetic limbs, synthesized hormones, etc etc?
You're right; they should stop wasting time, I'd be happy to live in the technological void of the early 1800's for the rest of my life if there were only some scrap of evidence of a flood that never happened.
Pursuing an investigation into the global flood would indeed be a serious waste of time, energy, resources and intelligence. Luckily, no reputable scientist is currently doing this, so everything is okay.
Sure pal. And while we're at it, why don't we look for the lost city of Atlantis too? In fact, why not try to track down every scientific legend in existence. We could look for Big Foot, the Fountain of Youth, the secret ingredient in KFC's popcorn chicken, and maybe even track the Garden of Eden itself (although that wouldn't do much good, since angels with fiery swords aren't something you should mess with).
Wouldn't that be so much better than trying to figure out how to cure diseases, or trying to solve world hunger, or trying to save lives in general?
Advice to A4C and friends: if you really want "scientific brain power" searching for evidence of your big "global flood", how about you take some of those crackpots from the Discovery Institute off the big I.D. pitch and have them do it?
Yes, I know that's putting biologists on an archaeological track, but since when has that sort of thing mattered to you creationists?
Actually, it's not only obvious that a worldwide flood did not happen, but also that it COULD not happen. As Scotty says, "Ye canna change the laws o' physics!"

LOL! Speaking of which, it would be nice if you could use your philosopher's stone to turn some fstdt commenters (like Julian) from pieces of shit into intelligent posters.
150 years ago, geologists knew that the global flood had not happened because there was absolutely no fucking evidence. Are we supposed to go backwards from there? If you're so convinced of the flood, why don't you go out and find the evidence? Your Nobel awaits.
It is sad to me, that people feel the need to take imaginary works of fiction, and try to apply them as fact.
1000 years from now, someone will dig up a copy of Lord of the Rings, and frodo baggins will be the messiah. They will try to apply scientific proof to orcs being created, and wizards casting spells.
They will look for the geography of middle earth, and claim that a spot on the map is "The holy Shire"
And someone will go in search of holy relics like the elvan rope that Samwise and frodo used to scale the mountains.
Sad reality is this is not to far fromt he truth, people already worship elvis.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
