Ahh, Bill, I am always confident. :-)

I notice that this isn't an answer to the question. But I will behave and
answer yours. God is ABLE to do whatsoever He pleases. But the question
is what did He do? If you have to have God perform a miracle for each
problem I can raise for the Global flood, in my opinion it would be much
simpler to say that God created a miraculous global flood and His miracle
left no scientific evidence of itself. Then no one can criticize you at
all and no one can raise pesky little problems like the fact that the flood
waters would be so acidic as to eat the flesh off of fish and the shells
off of shell fish.

>Do you think Peter walked on water? (Matthew 14:29)
Yes I do. But then I don't claim I can explain it scientifically. Do you
try to explain Peter's walking miracle scientifically? No. So why do you
try to explain the Miraculous flood scientifically?

Yes I do. But I can't explain it. It violates all known laws of physics so
there is no scientific or observational data that can be used to give a
scientific explanation. Yet you want to explain the flood via science.
Stop doing that. If the flood is a miracle, then believe that it is a
miracle but quit trying to have a SCIENTIFIC MIRACLE. That is an oxymoron.

I have faith in a miraculous God just like you do. But I don't go looking
for scientific data to prove that Shadrach, et al walked in fire or that
Peter walked on water. You are mixing things that shouldn't be mixed.
