About the great flood

Genesis 7:11–24 For forty days and nights, rain falls from above, and underground water rushes from below. As a result, floodwaters fully cover the surface of the land for another 110 days.

The 16000 C would have burned us everything, so does not explain fossils.

"
How are fossils formed?
Fossils are formed in different ways, but most are formed when a plant or animal dies in a watery environment and is buried in mud and silt. Soft tissues quickly decompose leaving the hard bones or shells behind. Over time sediment builds over the top and hardens into rock. It is when the processes of erosion occur that these secrets in stone are revealed to us."
https://australian.museum/learn/australia-over-time/fossils/how-are-fossils-formed/

The high heat temperatures from moving plates would destroy anything to make fossils from.
Making a fossil is slow process, not a fast one.
the water pressure would also destroy a fossil.

1,000 feet water depth is 480 psi enough to destroy wood. The deeper the water is more likely stuff is destroyed.

The time it takes to make a fossil would require death before the fall. Once while substitute teaching, the experiments related to making fossils depending on the chemical process, some took a week, others several weeks and some a few years.

The basic issue is how long the corpse survived and the chemical process.

Therefore, sea fossils must have been made in shadow water.

I am part cherokee, all our flood stories are post New Testament and Post Columbus.

Only Hebrew source that relates "kind" to "species" is Strong's Concordance. https://biblescan.com/searchhebrew.php?q=species

The concept of Species is very recent in Science. So, kind = species in Biblical Hebrew does not exist. It has been inserted into Lexicons.

If you compare original copies of lexicons with modern edited editions. You will find that species is unknown in original works.

Strong's also inserts the word species for several hebrew different words.

Love your poor attitude. I am around to understand Hebrew, Biblical Cultures, and the time frames related to Bible Translation.

I already explained the word firmament.

I like all the begging the question too. This is really about an interpretation of scripture that does not hold water.

12,000 psi is just that.

With God, ALL things are possible....

I believe God's stated truth. It's called faith.

Psalm 59:6
Those evil men are like dogs that come into town in the evening, growling and roaming the streets.

Matthew 7:6
“Don’t give something that is holy to dogs. They will only turn and hurt you. And don’t throw your pearls to pigs. They will only step on them

Philippians 3:2

Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision!


Dogs were looked down upon in ancient times.

As you can see the word Kind in the creation accounts and in Noah's account does not mean species.

I do not see the Bible as a Science book. I believe God is our Creator. Moses was not present at creation, therefore he had to either gotten a revelation or copied info from oral tradition.

Misspellings are rampant. A careful, knowledgeable editor/adviser would never allow a student to get away with misspelling "Caanan", "Voltair", "Nyles Eldridge", Madelyn Murray "O'Hare" (just like the airport), "Shintu" (the Japanese religion), "peersuaded", "centrifical" (force!!!), "aught" (to!), "disippated", "immerged" (from the slime), or "epic" (as in geological!). "It's" is used as a possessive pronoun. There are several non sentences. This is especially interesting since the course catalog of PU offers courses like "Refresher English" and "Mechanics of Composition".

THE THESIS HAS NO TITLE. There are no references or footnotes. A few partial citations are included in the body of the thesis, but they are not in standard form, and are incomplete. In at least two places (pp 65-66) the citation simply notes that there is a book title to be added. This has no place in a final version.

The single illustration, the electromagnetic spectrum, is cut out of a science textbook and taped on; it does not fit the page. Additionally, there are substantial formatting errors typical of a draft, but not a final, version. The final version is printed on a dot-matrix printer, an absolute no-no, even in 1991.

The Ph.D. is in "Christian Education", not "Education" - that's what the title page says. The coursework for the two degrees is substantially different, but as late as 1-10-00, Hovind still seems loath to advertising the "Christian" aspect of his degree. Curious that a Christian would leave that part out! " https://www.noanswersingenesis.org.au/bartelt_dissertation_on_hovind_thesis.htm

Romans 13
Easy-to-Read Version
Obey Your Government Rulers
13 All of you must obey the government rulers. Everyone who rules was given the power to rule by God. And all those who rule now were given that power by God. 2 So anyone who is against the government is really against something God has commanded. Those who are against the government bring punishment on themselves. 3 People who do right don’t have to fear the rulers. But those who do wrong must fear them. Do you want to be free from fearing them? Then do only what is right, and they will praise you.

4 Rulers are God’s servants to help you. But if you do wrong, you have reason to be afraid. They have the power to punish, and they will use it. They are God’s servants to punish those who do wrong. 5 So you must obey the government, not just because you might be punished, but because you know it is the right thing to do.

6 And this is why you pay taxes too. Those rulers are working for God, and they give all their time to the work of ruling. 7 Give everyone what you owe them. If you owe them any kind of tax, then pay it. Show respect to those you should respect. And show honor to those you should honor.
