Glenn, simple answers are the best! ;)

We don't see these effects anywhere....

I thought someone cited "complete geologic columns" in several
areas in diverse parts of the world in a recent posting. Doesn't that
"qualify" as an adequate "effect"? Does this evidence have to be
"everywhere" to convince geologists of a global flood? Not challenging
you, just wondering out loud...

is "rethink" a better word than "believe"?
or how about "re-examine"? I sure can't explpain
"everything", and I sure don't want to have
"ignorant faith" or an "overly simplistic faith".
But at the same time I have come to the conclusion, tho'
I do not understand all things or fathom all mysteries,
my faith is based on Someone credible... "many infallible
proofs" by way of a first-century document including
eye witness reports will do, thank you!

IMHO, both Dick and Glenn have eminently succeeded in this goal.
For that, my educated friends, I am very grateful to God!
Thank you!!
