<< Soroka and Nelson make the absurd assumption that Noah's Flood would have
to over-top Mount Everest. Aside, perhaps, from some ill-informed Sunday
School teachers, no Creationist proposes such a preposterous idea. The
several scenario computations presented in their article are based upon this
specification, so they do not address Creationary models in the slightest.
The highest elevation for the pre-flood mountains are usually estimated by
Creationary Catastropists to be less than 2 km. Many mountain ranges today
are about 2 km high, such as the Appalachian, the Cascade and the Coast Range
mountains in America. >>
Since the Flood had to cover the mountains and Mt Everest was there at the
time of the Flood according to consensual geology, their assumption is
perfectly logical. Further, having Mt Everest rise from 2km to its present
height during or since the Flood really is absurd and
preposterous---especially considering you have no revelation to that effect
and the tenor of the biblical account is otherwise. The Creationary model
with regard to mountains is resting neither on Scripture nor science, but
only speculation.
