Judaism ForumEden was Actually in Israel - Biblical Evidence and GeologicDear Barry If the earth was created cold, serpentine wouldn’t have existed in the first place. The dehydration of serpentine around subduction zones and fault lines is considered to be a primary contributor to earthquakes. This instability results as the mineral is dragged down deeper into the mantle, from depths ranging from 30 km to over 200 km down. The depth you are suggesting here is profoundly deeper, and I couldn’t even find a ternary diagram that would represent serpentine at pressures this depth, which would suggest that it presently does not exist at this depth. Please remember that serpentine is essentially Asbestos, and has tremendous isolative properties. Heating massive quantities of this mineral with the rapid mechanism you have suggested would result in an asymmetrical dehydration of the mineral with catastrophic consequences. Indeed, if this is your flood mechanism, the world would still be suffering through cataclysmic events, and none of us would be here to debate this issue. To build a flood mechanism on an unsubstantiated assumption like this is not responsible science. You need to have a goal of testing you proposition at one point, rather than stating an idea like it’s a viable model. I believe this! If you actually read my article, you would see that this is the very process I'm suggesting for the headwaters of the four rivers described in Genesis 2 This model of yours doesn’t substantiate the Biblical narrative; it just makes Bible believing Christians look silly. To suggest what is commonly considered to be the oldest rock form in the earths crust was just a little soil would have every responsible geologist on the planet shake their heads in unbelief. As I mentioned to your wife earlier in our dialogue, Precambrian rock is essentially void of fossil forms and if this so-called “carbon rich soil” was laid down during the flood, you would expect to observe a plethora of fossils. Almost nothing exists here! If you’re really trying to use the empirical method of science, everyone should understand that good scientific models demonstrate the following qualities: • Cognitive Relevance - Which means that the notion has meaningful reference to the properties or behaviour being observed. It deals accurately with the actual data! • Coherency - Which means that the idea should contain no elements that are logically inconsistent with other elements or principles. • Predictive Accuracy - Which means that an authentic scientific theory is able to predict the values of measurable properties. • Unifying Power - Which means that the theory may unify what once was considered unrelated phenomena. This theory you have suggested here fails at every one of these points! |
