Actually, evidence does exist of a worldwide flood!
It is the interpretation of that evidence, indeed the interpretation of all fossil evidence, which support the truth of the bible and the lie of evolution as the source of all life.
You think millions of years created the Grand Canyon? I suggest that it could have been created in one year and flow dynamists have proven it is a distinct possibility. Many years to lay down the sedimentary layers seen in the sides of the canyon but only one year of erosion is needed to actually cut the swath with the power and force of water should Teutonic plates shift.... (Interesting)
How did sea fairing and formerly existing proven fossils get at the great heights of the Himalayas? Teutonic plates shift and raise those mountains into position! Interestingly enough... this might correspond with the end of the worldwide flood... (Interesting)
Fossils. How do fossils exist? Bacteria and other living creatures consume most living flesh very quickly. Kill a pig in the forest and come back a year later. Very little evidence exists and most scientists know that this is the criterion to consider when a fossilized remains is discovered. Why was it preserved? Something has to have covered that remains in order to preserve the creature. A worldwide flood would stir up sediment like nobodies business and that sediment would cover many organisms very quickly. A plethora of dead organisms worldwide will and are very apparent and if you search, you will find this to be true.
Unfortunately, Satan knows this fact very well. Much of the truth of the Great Flood has been covered up and held back or diluted through misinformation and lies.
You are given a mind that can search out the truths and separate the lies from the truth. God is truth. I suggest you check the facts before jumping to any conclusions.

Um, no this isn't very interesting. Amusing, perhaps.
Let's not overlook the real reason for the Noah's Ark story: to explain what a rainbow is. Nothing more, nothing less. And at that, I'll give it full points for creativity. Not having any real scientific means of illustrating how a rainbow is the result of light shining through water at the proper angle, the author(s) of the Bible correctly observed that a rainbow appears as the rains end (at the right time of day). And it's a beautiful thing, no?
Absent any real proof of what it is and given a predisposition towards the supernatural, I guess a means of validating that god won't flood the earth is as good an explanation as any.
But it's NOT WHAT HAPPENS.
It is the interpretation of that evidence, indeed the interpretation of all fossil evidence, which support the truth of the bible and the lie of evolution as the source of all life.
In other words, we falsely interpret the evidence in a desperate attempt to prop up our pathetic moldy old book.
Teutonic plates shift....
Wow, all the way from Germany to Arizona? That must have been one hell of a powerful flood!
Or maybe your just stupid?
Teutonic plates shift and raise those mountains into position! Interestingly enough... this might correspond with the end of the worldwide flood...
1) It's "tectonic," not "Teutonic." Please learn the difference before you attempt to ridicule science.
2) Your own bible doesn't support the stuff you wrote here.
You don't start at the conclusions you dolt. You are doing it all wrong. There are so many factors on why a worldwide flood could never happen. You have no excuse for being grossly ignorant. There is so much information to be had on the internet and you want to go by what an old fable written by bronze age goat herders says. Actually, it's not gross ignorance on your part. You're being willfully stupid.
Teutonic plates I nearly spit coffee all over my monitor when I read that.

So, the 'debildidit' or 'goddidit' - which is it? Can't you fundys even keep your stories straight?
Aside from merely spouting outdated lies, you just destroyed a lot of the wonder and beauty of the Grand Canyon. For me, at least, the real wonder is that it was created over the vast eons through the steady progress of ancient rivers.
For you, it's just a side-effect of your god's watery temper tantrum.
"You are given a mind that can search out the truths and separate the lies from the truth. [...] I suggest you check the facts before jumping to any conclusions."
You first, please. Oh, and I deleted the middle sentence, as this has not been factually proven yet.
If a flood covering created the fossils, shouldn't they all be in the same layer, then?
I'll just check out God's much vaunted science text book, the bible. Hmmm! It seems pretty nonsensical. No. Now that I've checked the facts, it's conclusion jumping time. I think I'll give the bible a miss in favour of the
scholarly texts written by mere scientific practitioners.
Wilkommen to das Grosse Kanyon! Der Rhine carved zis naturalle vunder in only 40 days und nights, heil Gott! Herr Noah rode down it in der ark, vit alles der creatures grosse und kleine. Then he shtupped zo very much dat he soon had enough grossenkinder to invade France ....
So how come Niagara Falls doesn't cut a Grand Canyon?
Why was it preserved? Something has to have covered that remains in order to preserve the creature.
Nobody denies there have been floods in plenty of places. There are still floods today from time to time. How do fossils prove they were all created by the same flood?
"You are given a mind"
That's the only sensible thing in your incoherent ranting. Actually it has long been my argument that humans do have minds. Unfortunately, fundies seem to have been programmed with an auto shutdown that occurs somewhere around the 5-year mark, at which point their only capacity to learn involves mythological stories from a goat herders' book.
No credible scientist, atheist or christian, considers evolution a "source of life". The Theory of Evolution has nothing to say on what is called the "first cause". All evolution discusses is what happened to life AFTER it came to be.
You are confusing (as many of my brothers do) evolution and the theory of abiogenesis. Christians can and often do accept Evolution and reject abiogenesis. Most Christians understand that Genesis is not a scientific text, but rather a recording of the early history of the Jewish people and their religious traditions.
Okay, too much drivel to read.
Regarding the first line of the second paragraph however...
1. Flow Dynamics is a funk, hip hop and soul based electronic project...(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_Dynamics )
I think the term is fluid dynamics.
2. Not too sure, English being my second language, but shouldn't it be dinamiCISTS, instead of dynamiSTS?
3. I think those people are simply called physicists.
4. Fluids aren't an area of physics that I'm familiar too well with, but I don't think that's how it works. Those "dynamists" weren't working, for, say, the discovery institute?
Idiot.
One year?
Here's the deal. We'll do a small scale test. You grab a firehose, and carve out a canyon through layers of solid rock (limestone, shale, slate, schist, sandstone) that's one percent as deep as the Grand Canyon, and I'll convert.
If your firehose can carve out 1.5 feet per week, you'll be done in plenty of time to get ready for the Halloween party.
If you can't excavate a canyon in a year, you should pick up a geology book and read it. Preferably one about the Grand Canyon area.
"Satan knows this fact very well"
Yeah, You know what Satan knows. You don't even know what you know, because if you knew it you'd know your wrong.
The Noachian flood is nonsense, anyone who believes it will believe anything.
Every one of your 'facts' can be refuted with layman science (backed up by proffesional science, by the by )often by eight year olds.
...Teutonic plates...

we've been saying the world was once covered with water for years. doesn't mean god did it.
...and you've never been to the grand canyon have you? erosion doesn't work that fast. if it did that canyon would double in depth ever year or so.
and i just noticed how a "world wide" flood would never explain how only the canyon eroded that fast and the desert around it, made of the same dirt, stayed put.
"God is truth"
No, he's imaginary.
TECTONIC plates, you mean.
Also, yes, it could happen in one year, IF the water was moving over 300 miles an hour.
Yes, plate TECTONICS shifted and created the Himalayas, which were once mere seashores.
Yes, but the fossils have been placed in distinct layers.
I suggest you check the facts before jumping to any conclusions.
I'm sorry, I'm really trying to follow, honest, but I'm far too entertained by "Teutonic Plates" to read anything else.
I can see them all in my mind's eye, goose stepping around the world, spikey helmets gleaming in the sun.
Hmm did any else not find a single valid fact in his arguement that he expanded on, correcetly?
Not to mention, all questions he asked mid statment that tatic drives me nuts.
Please do go on thou,
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
