Why no flood evidence as man expects it? Perhaps because in the different past rapid seperation of continents the evidence was mutilated! Uplifted, disturbed, moved, and such! No wonder we don't see some silly uniform layer worldwide! Goodness, how did we miss such a simple thing for so long!? Wonderful. God was right all along.

Acme Service Representative M.S. says: "This might qualify for Fundamentalism in a Nutshell."
Except that, somehow, this "mutilated" layer was somehow disturbed in just the right way to be incorporated into other layers in a consistent manner worldwide, producing just the effects we would expect to find if the world was actually 4.55 billion years old, evolution happened, there was no flood, etc etc etc. Quite the coincidence, that. And to think, fundies often claim evolution and abiogenesis are improbable!
Perhaps if I ask questions in a Mr. Rogers-esque voice I can convince you that they're true! OF course! Gee-whiz, it is so obvious that the world was shaken violently like a sno-globe a mere 5000 years ago and we suffered not for it! In fact, in a spate of unprecedented wonder, men grew 70 feet tall, lived to be 900 years old, and the entire reign of the dinosaur came and went! Gracious me, it is all so clear now! Praise god, and praise this cough-syrup I've been drinking all day from my sippy-cup!
OK dad, see that's what happens when you take an absurd and ludicrous primitive superstition and work backwards trying to justify it.
You end up facing backwards, holding onto an even more primitive, backassed supposition!
"In the different past "? What the heck is that, alternative history?
This "dad" person is a regular riot; he has a wilder imagination than most sci-fi authors, who for the most part try to stay at least somewhere in the vicinity of the plausible even when they're making stuff up. "Dad" isn't nearly so limited.

Yes, in the alternative past, when Mickey Mouse and Spiderman were BAD GUYS, chocolate tasted like chicken, and the sky was pink and polka dot.

Of course he (along with all the other fundies) aren't limited. They have the all-time book of fiction and fantasy as a guide. The problem is they must come up with even wilder crap just to try to explain the scientific inaccuracies and inconsistencies contained therein. And of course, the wilder the fundie explanation, the harder it is to read due to the poor grammer and spelling. This is an indication of their limited mental capacity for rational thought and understanding. And as NonHomogenized mentioned, it is amazing that the earth shows itself to be quite old and shows no evidence whatsover that anything in the BuyBull is correct. Yet it is the BuyBull they believe and not sciencific discovery. Amazing.
[sarcasm] I think he's absolutely right. This all happened "in the different past," that is, not in the actual past. It's so simple, I don't know why you can't follow it. It's "the different past" because it's different from the true past. [/sarcasm]
<<< Perhaps because in the different past rapid seperation of continents the evidence was mutilated! >>>
And the evidence of separation of continents rapid enough to completely destroy all evidence of a flood? What other catastrophic event destroyed the evidence for that one, and where's the evidence for that catastrophe?
Nah, I'll stick to the obvious explanation. There's no evidence of such a flood in the geological record because it didn't happen.
<<< he has a wilder imagination than most sci-fi authors, who for the most part try to stay at least somewhere in the vicinity of the plausible even when they're making stuff up. >>>
Truth is stranger than fiction, because fiction has to make at least some sense.
Once again, a fundie's desperate attempt to make the flood scenario fit into reality is a source of great amusement.
You'd think it would be much easier to accept that the flood never actually happened than come up with horseshit like this, but clearly not.
“Why no flood evidence as man expects it? Perhaps because in the different past rapid seperation of continents the evidence was mutilated!”
So, the creationist position is that all the strata were laid down at the same time. In floods we have observed, they muddle the results, they don’t sort them.
But, okay, magic global flood put strata down by density. and sorted the fossils by some never-observed mechanism. You think that continental drift scrambled the data…
“Uplifted, disturbed, moved, and such!”
So, all this chaos to move denser materials on top of lighter materials. Tear shit up and shake it around.
And yet still maintain the apparent succession of life forms to support the evolutionary model. And made sure that it didn’t accidentally leave a rabbit fossil in the layers that ended up labeled precambrian. And sorted mature dinosaurs, dead dinosaurs, juveniles, eggs (hatched) and eggs (unhatched) and nests AND their fucking footprints to the same levels no matter what scrambling went on?
“No wonder we don't see some silly uniform layer worldwide!”
Yeah, the chaos of a single flooding event would leave ONE layer of mud comprised of EVERYTHING, not indivdual layers. Unlessand until you can show a floor experiment that sorts rather than mixes.
“Goodness, how did we miss such a simple thing for so long!?”
because it’s even more magical than just thinking ‘goddidit.’
“ Wonderful. God was right all along.”
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
