    The origin of the universe cannot be determined scientifically

    What would it even mean to be limited by time? You mean like how people are limited in the number of actions they can perform per minute? I would agree. God isn't limited to a number of actions per minute. If you're saying that He can't be limited by what year it is and that He must be able to...

    The origin of the universe cannot be determined scientifically

    Begging the question is not a formal fallacy. All it shows is laziness. If people would simply state the things they hold as presuppositions, they would not be committing that error.

    The biggest evidence of the Flood? The world ocean.

    I find it extremely difficult to engage with that process. Not that I think it's an inherently bad method, but because it fails the test of "what would it imply were it true?" I find devil's advocate arguments are only useful in refining an argument that I actually believe and that I can...

    The biggest evidence of the Flood? The world ocean.

    We should make a deal about what we are allowed to mean when we say "crust." Are we going to use it the way an evolutionist would, a Hydroplate theorist or develop a generic understanding?

    I should quit with the analogies. They suck. :D

    I'm sure it's just a phase you're going through. :D

    Yeah. That's why carpet and eggshell analogies do not paint a complete picture.

    The origin of the universe cannot be determined scientifically

    "All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made." There are plenty of things — all of them intangible nouns — that God did not invent. Love, truth and life among them. That should be obvious. If you think otherwise, answer: Was He alive when He created life...

    The biggest evidence of the Flood? The world ocean.

    Yeah, I appreciate that I am not doing the greatest job of this. :D Yes. That's pretty close. Walt Brown has four phases of the flood: Rupture, Flood, Drift, and Recovery. Rupture was when the fountains broke up the previously global crust. Drift was when the hydroplates (basically the two...

    The biggest evidence of the Flood? The world ocean.

    Gravity is the action of masses being attracted to each other. An apple is a mass. The Earth is a mass. "Sequitur." Like what?

    So if I drop an apple, it will not fall?

    The biggest evidence of the Flood? The world ocean.

    Get a mile-long carpet and roll it out. Then shove it around so it piles up in places. The places that are piled up are "continental." The places that aren't are "oceanic." There is no easy analogy for the basalt. It is a volcanic process that was added after or as the oceanic/continental...

    The biggest evidence of the Flood? The world ocean.

    The processes that pushed the rock around favored granite in oceanic crust and sedimentary rocks in continental. The only thing I would take issue with was that there might be one type of crust on top of another. That would imply that the crust could be determined by the type of rock that was...

    The biggest evidence of the Flood? The world ocean.

    It's like if you had a spherical egg with a regular shell, then you cracked the egg. However, you don't pull the shell off. Instead, you just push it around on the egg a bit. Now imagine that the shell is somewhat like putty. Some places where you push will create hills and valleys. The hills...

    The biggest evidence of the Flood? The world ocean.

    The crust varies in thickness. Those variations get labeled things like "oceanic" and "continental."

    The origin of the universe cannot be determined scientifically

    So strange that Darwinists will ask to discuss the evidence with people engaging informally and will engage informally when the subject is the evidence.

    The origin of the universe cannot be determined scientifically

    Oh. So now you believe that we never declare doubt? Wait. Why are you asking others for evidence when that is what I led with?
