By the way, Bill, where are the flood sediments? This discussion reminds me a
bit of when trying to get YECs to say where the flood sediments are in the
global flood. They are all over the place with inconsistent layers bing the
flood deposits. With the Mesopotamian flood, no one has sighted any widespread
flood deposits, yet everyone knows that Mesopotamia is where the flood was so
they must be there. Unfortunately, it is all a sham because there are no flood
deposits in Mesopotamia.

WEH: Dick or someone help me here. I thought flood deposits _had_ been found
in Mesopotamia. Glenn: are you saying there are _no_ flood deposits, or simply
that the flood deposits aren't sufficient?

GRM: But also, as I have noted lately, evidence doesn't seem to much matter in
apologetics. If there are no flood deposits or evidence of it, we still believe
the flood was there.

Well it does matter to me. I don't talk about the flood when witnessing to
folks, because I'm not n expert in geology and the central focus in apologetics
is Jesus Christ anyway. If you folks can convince me of single time and place
for the flood, then perhaps I would be willing to discuss it with nonbelievers
if it comes up.
