Oh, that's precious, the person with a degree in Anthropology saying, "
Anyone with a true understanding of basic science would recognize crazy twisted tales supported by shoehorned data using “lack of evidence” as a main postulate for a proof." There is not much more twisting of thin/debated data than in Anthropology. For you to be saying that of Clarey's book is laughable.
The book is not based on twisted science, nor "yet to be discovered evidence." It have said several times that the work relies up on the oil industry's data from the field, the wells drilled though the rocks globally, even down to several thousand feet, both on land and oceans, which allows analysis of the sea floor spreading as partial evidence of a global event. That is how the thickness, composition, etc. of the rock layers are known, and that the even was global. That's not "twisted", nor, "yet to be discovered evidence."
I don't give a rip what "most religious scholars" think. Many of these people are completely screwed up. The "religious" person today is typically biblically illiterate, as has been demonstrated here. I am not interested in popularity, nor fawning over desperate attempts to salvage an already falsified theory.
We would expect there to be all flavors of theologians and believers who are liberal, biblically ignorant, and scientifically ignorant of the Flood. Plenty of that on display here.
The community will note that my detractors continuously assert that I am pushing a biblical story, a Bible account. They desperately want the community to think this is non-science, mere stories, etc, that cannot be supported. It's their only chance at trying to get you to disregard it. Not so; I am promoting a scientific work that analyzes the lithography of the earth by using several hard sciences in order to do precisely what is done in the prevailing theory, attempt to reconstruct events of the past. It is easily seen that I am not relying upon Bible passages, but upon science and data from the oil industry. The data from the rocks is either going to support uniformitarian presuppositions, or it's going to support catastrophism, and it supports the latter, clearly, powerfully indicating a global Flood event. The data has been accessed now, through oil industry well drilling, and it's just too bad for someone has a problem with it. All the gyrations and objections are not changed by the data.
Plate tectonics was opposed by secular scientists for decades - until the evidence became overwhelming and they were forced to accept it. The same is happening now in regards to a global deluge.
Notice how these people just cannot let it go? Every time I try to return the thread to the topic of audio, they just cannot shut up. They cannot stomach the idea that I have data, have answered the critics, and am gaining credibility.
