The Great Flood Was an Actual Historical Event

As per the rules, I will not first refute your arguments, instead I will focus on presenting my own arguments. I. Paleontology The world of paleontology is rife with vivid examples of the Biblical Flood (Hereafter, BF, not boyfriend, by the way) A. The Opisthotonic pose In [1], the authors conclude that this could not be the result of postmortem water transport because they did experiments on quail. "It is not postmortem contraction but perimortem muscle spasms resulting from various afflictions of the central nervous system that cause these extreme postures. That is, the opisthotonic posture is the result of "death throes," not postmortem processes, and individuals so afflicted assumed the posture before death, not afterward. The clinical literature has long recognized that such afflicted individuals perish from asphyxiation, lack of nourishment or essential nutrients, environmental toxins, or viral infections, among other causes." This year, scientists did an experiment similar to the above by placing chicken in cool fresh water and the chickens exhibited the pose [2]. There is contradiction between the two studies, but salt may have played a role. Furthermore, water sediment from flooding conditions is almost always found with the fossil [3]. The fossils also reveal violent transportation in the form of broken bones and torn ligaments [4] B. Soft-Bodied fossils Soft bodied fossils would indicate fast rapid burial, because otherwise the bodies would decay away. The appearance of jellyfish fossilization [5] was rather a surprise given that Darwin predicted that it would not have formed. Furthermore, the ripples beside the fossils (See pictures in article) show clearly that they jellyfish were covered with water at the time that sediments covered the bodies. C. Marine fossils at high elevation and deserts Whale fossils have been found [6] [7] in Chile"s "Atacama Desert, the driest in the world..."[6] "The team has found more than 20 complete whale skeletons, and about 80 individual specimens, as well as other types of marine mammals" [7] It is simply impossible to interpret this as other than through BF. There is also the existence of marine fossils at high elevations such as on Mt. Everest. [8] The fossil bearing rocks stretch the entire mountain. There is the interpretation that the fossils were placed before the mountains start rising, and there is the interpretation that it was placed after the rise of Mt. Everest. Either way, it is proof of the Flood. I believe I have made my point on paleontology. Now I will go to legends and myths. II. Flood Legends The puzzling existence of catastrophic flood legends around the world in diverse people groups provides proof of a world-wide flood. There is no logical way these legends can be interpreted as due to local catastrophes. They are all very similar to, but garbled as compared with, the deluge account as found in the Bible. Just for one example, see the Gilgamesh epic, from which Moses did not copy, by the way. [10] All these is vast evidence for a Global Biblical Deluge. Although I have space to refute your arguments, I will not do so here as per the rules. I will note, however, that your opening arguments is rife with errors from any perspective. Such as the error of 10 people. If you can"t be accurate in small things, how am I to know if you"re going to be accurate on the BIG arguments? 1. http://paleobiol.geoscienceworld.org... 2. http://www.newscientist.com... 3. http://www.jstor.org...
