Yes. Have you got a spare $30 million you can loan me? I'll pay it back,
really.

<<My problem is believing in a global flood which leaves no evidence that
it
actually occurred. In geology I see extremely little evidence of the rapid

deposition of the entire column (rapid deposition of an individual bed but
not the whole column). If the global flood were real, I would expect to
see
far more evidence. The flood had to be local in extent.>>

Just so long as you recognize it as YOUR problem, and you don't palm it off
on God. That's what I think you're doing when you use biblical passages out
of context and then argue that God didn't do his job if he wanted us to
know about a global flood, etc.

<<I am not demanding this evidence from God, I am asking for it from global
flood advocates.>>

That's the ticket, that's your real argument, and that's fine. Let the
evidence accumulate, and let's have at it.
