You see craters in this earth made 30,000 thousand years ago, I see craters in this earth made by rock abrasions during the Flood. And, yes, that interpretation may be incorrect, but it would be even worse to reinterpret Scripture just to call it a meteorite. I'd rather err on the side of interpreting the physical evidence than interpreting the Scriptures.

Don't the scriptures exist to be interpreted?
In fact, I swear there are a few points where (in the red words) you're told to read it for yourself?
Could be I just thought they belonged there, but I swear I remember something to that effect.
Honestly? Go for it, dude. I'm just glad that you acknowledge that you could be wrong, which is far more than most fundies who end up on this site (including you, many, many times) can do.
Solution, let´s continue to be ignorant, after all, what´s the matter if the guys who wrote the Bible interpreted whatever happens to suit their lifestyle?
Julian- you're neglecting to give dad, Carico, Bro. Randy, and BigChrisFilm their proper due. Though Jamo is not wrong to label AV1611 so... they all contend equally for the award.

So it might be incorrect with some other scriptural explanation?

So you'd rather be wrong within the scriptures than be wrong entirely with the bible? Wasn't there something in the bible about false prophets, the kind that tells people that their words are God's and lie? Something about having to kill them and that they are nothing in the sight of God?
Guess what happens if you explain the bible (word of god anyone?) wrong, and "teach" it to people as fact?
I have no problems interpreting physical evidence leading to the conclusion that our universe, our solar system, and our earth, are billions of years old.
Then again, I don't start off with the erroneous assumption the Bible is inerrant.
If observable evidence demonstrates that the Bible was obviously written by ignorant desert bumpkins, so be it, I can live with that.

Then you don't know jack shit about geology. There is absolutely no way a flood, global or otherwise, could make a formation that could be mistaken for a meteorite impact. The physics behind the two processes makes it literally impossible.

Translation: The Bible is definitive. Reality is frequently inaccurate.
"But sir, how do you explain the shocked quartz found in impact craters? Surely that's proof that an impossibly huge impact took place and not the cutting action of a flood."
Ah, but it was a really big flood.
People, no matter how much you'd like to disagree with floods being unable to create craters, they can do so.
There is a huge valley that has quite a few of them. Sudden floods cause vortexes, vortexes can trap air bubbles and popping airbubbles can break steel. How I know this? Discovery Channel FTW. But please do note that there was no global flood that caused the holes in that valley. There was some sort of natural dyke that broke.
The entire notion of a global flood is rediculous.

True, but it's usually relatively easy to tell which craters are created by flooding and erosion and which ones are created by a massive impact. The rock layers in the area are usually a pretty good clue.
Oh, I see, you're talking about fantasy. Well, I like to imagine I live in a great gothic castle, and I'm tended to by a small but loyal group of girls. There's Angelina Jolie, Laetitia Casta, Lil' Kim, Majandra Delphino, Masuimi Max, Bai Ling, Heather Christianson, Alicia Witt,
Anna Falchi, Aria Giovanni, Rio Natsume,
Shannon Elizabeth, Tera Patrick, Monica Keena, Jesse Jane, Jessica Alba, Jessical Biel...
Creationists are really dumb if they believe a single flood can cut through a large amount of rock and make craters, or god forbid, even canyons in just about, say 40 days?
and oh yeah, i don't think there's anything about craters in the bible either.
AV1611VET evidently prefers ignorance and error to knowledge and truth. He's legally entitled to a life of self-delusion, I suppose, but I can't say I approve of the lifestyle choice -- and make no mistake, folks, this IS a lifestyle choice!
