Paul -- I don't think I EVER mistook you for a YEC. Apologies if my
reply sounded that way. In this LISTSERV way of talking, one sometimes
simply wants to see how an argument goes, and I understood that to be
your intention. Honest! < G >
The physics problems I was thinking of are those associated with the
source of the flood waters and what happened to them after the flood
abated. I suppose these could be called geologic problems also -- not
being a geologist I will pass on that part.
I was also thinking (vaguely) of the physical problems involved with (1)
getting all the animals onto the ark in the specified time, (2) the care
& feeding & cleaning up after them, (3) the problems after the flood
abatement of getting them dispersed to their "allotted" geographies, etc.
I admit that all of these are more than "physics" problems, of course.
On my web site is a "letter to Ken Ham" written by someone here a year or
so ago on problems of this sort. It is on page 2.
