Reply #228: What evidence is there that North America was covered by a massive flood [View All]

[uberllama42]

sometime in the last 10,000 years? What details about very recent geological strata reflect the continent having been flooded? Is there anything about various terrestrial ecosystems in North America to suggest that they all formed after some flood event that wiped out the earlier terrestrial ecosystems, some time in the last 10,000 years? What about the topology of the continent? Does that in any way reflect a massive, recent flood event?

Is there any archeological evidence to support the Hopi story about surviving a giant flood? What about other Native American groups? Did they survive independently, or did they branch off from the Hopi that supposedly survived this flood? Whatever you hypothesize, there should be evidence to support it.

To my knowledge, there isn't any evidence to support any of that. I'm not a biologist or a geologist, but from what little I know, it seems that the normal process of sedimentation has gone on uninterrupted all over the continent for much more than 10,000 years, and that the ecosystems in North America did not all develop simultaneously in the wake of a catastrophe around 10,000 years ago.

In short, from what I know, the evidence utterly fails to support the claim that a flood covered North America.
