YEC is unlikely

Before I start I would like to point out that evolution, carbon dating, and the big bang theory aren't things that have no evidence for them. Also, I would like to point out that since this debate is centered around YEC, it doesn't matter if I think the world is a million or a billion years old. What matters if it was as young as 6000. ARGUMENTS ---------------- 1. Formation of the Grand Canyon You agree it developed from water erosion. I have explained to you that if water erosion worked at a rate to form the Grand Canyon in 6000 years or less, there would be canyons all over the place. The Mississippi River would be thousands of times deeper then it is now. As far as your 'omission argument' goes, you're right that what isn't known isn't evidence. So if there's no known way for the Grand Canyon to form in 6000 years or less, you can't argue that it can with evidence. You say our propositions are only hypotheses and NOT facts. That statement in itself is not fact, because you don't know whether or not our propositions are factual or not. Even if we take your attitude and apply it, it all comes down to evidence. Evidence tells us which is more LIKELY, which is what we are debating. You propose a biblical flood. I'm not saying a flood didn't happen. Though my argument had evidence (many canyons and Mississippi River analogy), what evidence is there to support a flood FORMING the Grand Canyon? My question is how would a flood carve a canyon ( also one that deep?) Also, why wouldn't it create a bunch of canyons besides the grand canyon? 2.. Impact Craters. There are two different types of craters, volcanic and impact. Volcanic craters are caused by the explosion or collapse of a volcano and impact craters are caused by meteors hitting the planet. There are several ways to tell them apart: a) The walls of the site. A volcanic crater would have volcanic rock around it. b) Shape of the site. A lot of volcanic craters don't take the perfect bowl shape of the impact craters and are moreso irregular. c) Impact craters sometimes have remains from the meteor. Now, the 200 craters I mentioned have been recognized as impact craters. Your argument implies that these craters are just as likely to be caused by volcanic activity. However, I have an answer to this. Near a lot of impact craters, tektite glass is found. Tektite is extremely rare, and is so 'dry' that the only known way for it to be formed is from the high temperatures caused by a meteor impact or nuclear bomb (volcanoes aren't hot enough) http://en.wikipedia.org... Yet again I ask for you to answer my previous questions. 3. Vast amount of species. Mammoths have been confirmed to have existed. There have been completely frozen, perfect mammoth specimens. http://encarta.msn.com... Many other species have been confirmed http://encarta.msn.com... http://encarta.msn.com... For my previous questions, please answer a, c, and d. b) What evidence do you have of this? e) Are you saying man was that technologically equipt? Also, I mean compete for resources and survival. f) So we slayed the thousands of different types of confirmed dinousaurs? g) What evidence do you have that we were around when these diseases were? 4. Supervolcanoes (New contention) If all of the confirmed supervolcano eruptions happened within 6000 years, we would still see the effects. http://en.wikipedia.org... Also, consider the likelihood of ALL of this evidence being faulty. I await my opponent's evidence for YEC (supportive, not counterevidence). The resolution is affirmed. Thank you. :)
