I'm just putting facts out there. Some support a local flood and some support a global flood. People can come to their own conclusions and they should also do their own research because I don't have the time to answer every question.

Facts? It is to laugh.
Not a straw man. YOU drew the parallels between Noah's flood and the Mississippi flooding. You now get to address where the comparison breaks down. Running and hiding from the fact that you screwed up doesn't make me calling out your errors a fallacy.
If the flood was local/regional, it is irrelevant outside that locality/region. If you want to use it to explain Peruvian paleontology and stratigraphy, you cannot compare it with local or regional flooding, at least not without some serious math to back up the comparison. It's either-or.
Hm....I have a spare rock or fifty lying around....And some spare wood.....How hard is it to make a display like that?Christian Klippel said:
Are you claiming omniscience?
And why do you consider your conclusions to be more valid than the conclusions of those who have actually done the research? Remember, you're still denying the age of the Peruvian rocks and fossils here--you're still saying that Genesis is superior to actual geologic and paleontological analysis.

As long as you shot the rock yourself...

I must have missed the support for a global flood. Oh, and marine fossils on mountain tops is no evidence for a global flood, is it. I suppose it could be if you had forgotten everything you had ever learnt about high school geology and were too lazy and or invested in your American evangelical worldview to find out what we know about such deposits, how they got there and how we know this.
We know uplift of former sea floors have occurred. We have what are very clearly former coastlines at elevation. We can see how former marine sediments were laid down over time and we understand the mechanisms involved in their uplift.
And again, because I think it is so easy to understand without any special knowledge, a global flood where the sum total of animal creatures disembarked in eastern Anatolia makes some very definite predictions about what we should see in present day distributions of animal species. We look at Australia's fauna and we can confidently say the idea of a global flood is falsified. And all attempts by creationists to save the global flood with ad hoc hypotheses result in absurdity.

...And I have, politely, tried to engage you, with your opinion as a starting point.
Given the amount of time you have to continually misrepresent what you pretend is Ehrman's opinion about "Jesus", you have plenty of time...what you have not is inclination.
I have never seen a piece of practical, empirical evidence, attested to and verified by actual scientists, that supports a global fludde.
What is your opinion about the significance of very old fossils in Peru in Re: a historically recent flood in Mesopotamia?

Involving bestiality too, no doubt.
