@who cares: Thanks; I suppose I care…@noastronomer: Thanks–I see, though, my url is screwed up on that post. I will take the time to get it right on this one, so you can find where I store my other cephalopoddities.

Kyle,It never occurred to me to "do the math" as that would involve me taking this absurd video seriously.But I always like to do whatever any random commenter on my site insist that I do, so I did some math, and it turns out that the wave would have been moving somewhat faster than the speed of sound. An object the size of this wave moving that fast would produce a concussive aerial wave in advance of its movement that would blow any ark to bits and kill all on board.Here's the math on thatCheers,GTL

Sorry professor youre a little off. Go back to the video again, the 66500 mile ark needs to be re figured. I watched and re watched that video. It took 8 hours for the wave to go a quarter way around the world. So each wave must travel 6225 in 8 hours, or 480 minutes which comes to be about 12.96 miles per minute or 1/5 of a mile per minute. I’m no creationist but before you do math get the facts straight. Look at the clock a little closer, it starts off at 8 and ends at 4. Please, re-do the math for the sake of looking like an ass. thank you

@The Professor – good point on wtf accelerates that much water to that high a velocity.@cuttlefish – that’s pretty sharp, I may have to write that down.

I couldn't resist.How many feet would the Ark have to fall to equal the impact it's going to experience when hit by that wave? About 66,500 miles.

The bibble was written by people who were ignorant of the mechanics of rainfall. The video was made by people ignorant of the bibble. What did you expect?That’s one of the truly peculiar thing about religious people, they actually have no idea what they’re talking about, not ever.

For the fountains of the deep, Google Walt Brown. Or check out Uncle Walty's Wonder Water HydroPants Extravaganza at RnR or the original (lo o o ng and multiple) threads over on IIDB. Here's one of them

How can you miss the point? God is awesome. He just blew everyone away with his irresistible power. The people and donkeys at the market, the kid playing cards or whatever with her mama, everyone. Awesome. It doesn’t matter how exactly, it’s just so wow that you’ve gotta submit in a feverish and semi-orgasmic way. So powerful it’s got to be right. Mmmm, power.(warning:this is sarcasm)

So…in this reconstruction, where are the dinosaurs?

Right. So the fountains of the great deep ejaculated and the skies rained down, but only one of those biblical truths is used in this reconstruction because the other one did not fit with their so called “theory.” It’s just a theory, you know, this Genesis thing.Also, the “waters of the flood were upon the earth” in teh passage PRIOR to the one you cite. So the fountains may have been referring to something else. I’m thinking soda fountains. “The Deep” was a malt shop, not a geological thing.Plus, the don’t really have a theory about where the waters went 150 days later, do they?
