Quote# 6560

God could have accelerated nuclear decay during the flood as a mechanism for generating tectonics. He could have accelerated decay just from his creative process on forming the earth. Also the curse could have effected nuclear decay. The are ways of explaining the same data within a literal Genesis framework without resorting to ad hoc theories void of scriptural support.

Rocky and Bullwinkle could have flown out of god's ass as well. And I bet I could find some biblical scripture to support that.

"without resorting to ad hoc theories void of scriptural support."

as opposed to ad hoc theories without factual support?

Do you even know what 'ad hoc' means?

Ad hoc theories do not become what you might call 'scientific canon' unless the theorist is very lucky and the experimental data confirm the theory.

I thought fundies were more interested in post hoc theories, anyway.

Ad hoc? AD HOC?

Occam's Razor disagrees.

nuclear decay has absolutely nothing to do with tectonics.

If what you say is true, then the Earth would have melted, the water would have vaporized, and eventually, Noah's ark would come to rest on the red-hot liquid "ground". He would have died either because of:
1. Burning to death in the heat, which would have probably been high enough to spontaneously ignite the ark
2. Exposure to massive amounts of radiation would have killed Noah and his family (water doesn't block gamma rays!)
3. Excessive heat may have been enough to decompose the water into hydrogen. This hydrogen would have risen above the water, cooled, and then ignited, resulting in a massive explosion engulfing the planet. Think of Fukushima on steroids. The hydrogen explosion there destroyed a building designed to contain the very same type of explosion; so how would a flimsy wooden boat withstand this? Especially when you consider that there would need to be trillions of tons of water in order to cover the earth. More water = more hydrogen = a bigger explosion.
