I'm curious what your source for this high-energy flow would be, Dave...did god lay down a firehose on the Sudan? I know a great deal about the south egypt/Sudan, having done shitloads of research on it for a story. Talk to me about it, baboo. Tell me about the geology of Nubia and the Kordafan region down to the true Sudd. I mean, you DO realize that north Sudan is Libyan desert and Nubian desert, right? and that there's no scablands there? No palouse flows cutting through columnar basalt?

Did you domolish [sic] my arguments? Or did you C&P from your favorite "Evolution Apologetics" source? I am interested in hearing people's actual arguments (their own that is) not in C&P stuff that you may not even understand.

A good example of someone here who uses his own arguments is Dean Anderson. He and I had a good exchange on this thread recently. This is what I have been urging Pappy Jack to do also with his pyramid slope arguments.

I think this is due for a bump, since Dave appears to have been conspicuous by his absence since it was posted.
As I see it the relevant questions are:

1/ Since a record of the moment pre-Flud Egypt was wiped out would inevitably involve a large deposit of sediment, and since the Nile Valley is full of sediment, are these sediments the result of the Flud?

2/ if they are, how did the drainage canyon ( 8,000 feet deep under Cairo and several hundred feet deep under Aswan) become filled with sediment if it was cut as the Flud waters were draining away?

3/ If they aren't, WTF are they doing there and where are the Flud sediments, considering that according to Dave the Egyptian society we know was founded almost directly after the Flud?
I cannot find much information anywhere about sedimentary layers in Egypt. All I know at this point is from the link I posted earlier which shows that there is sandstone and limestone, both sedimentary rocks as I understand it. I do understand how sandstone forms, but I do not understand how limestone forms. Have not studied it. If you want a creationist answer on this, I would suggest Walt Brown. He claims that he has the answer. http://www.creationscience.com/onlin...Limestone.html

Perhaps I could get him to come here to IIDB. He is not as well known as some of the ICR and AIG scientists and maybe he would like to get more exposure for his Hydroplate Theory. I know he has had a standing offer for a written debate for a long time. Maybe he would opt for some internet debates instead.

As for your Question #2, could you give me a link to a picture or diagram?

Pot, kettle, black?

As far as my posts that you refer to are concerned, would you rather I had posted Jim Loy's and Martin Gardner's arguments as my own? Would this make them more or less effective at demonstrating the arrant nonsense that underlies Smyth's (and by extension) your arguments concerning the encoding of pi and advanced astronomical knowledge within the deconstructed measurements of Khufu's Pyramid?

Have you personally surveyed Khufu's Pyramid to verify Smyth's figures? Have you personally verified the source of Smyth's 'pyramid inch'? Are all these arguments you use regarding Khufu's Pyramid your own or have you found them elsewhere? Do you have any reasons of your own for believing in (and arguing for) a supernatural creation event c. 6,000 years ago and a global deluge c. 4,500 years ago, or do your reasons derive exclusively from the Bible?

PS And it's always a good diversionary tactic to attack the messenger and ignore the message, isn't it, Dave?

Off topic, but you only use "[sic]" when you're quoting someone's bad spelling. Your use here is just plain dickitry. :down:

Dave, that's hysterical!
You almost never post your own actual arguments, you always C&P "arguments" [sic], or clumsily, and always incorrectly, paraphrase the "arguments" [sic] of your trusted sources, all of whom have been shown to be dishonest, and you have often wound up admitting that you did not understand and have not fully studied the argument or the issues.
Yet you are certain you are correct, and you continue to hold others to a level of honesty, integrity, and scholarship that you have never reached yourself.
Pathetic.

no hugs for thugs,

If you think this, then you haven't read many of my posts here have you?

When you talk about my trusted sources being dishonest, who might that be? Would you like to go on record with some names and some specifics?

Thanks.

What is "domolish" if not bad spelling pray tell?
