Yeah,you're right about the age of the ice it is only 100,000 year BP plus old,but my point still stands that it has pretty much stayed in place. Also I already gave you an example of how the ice could remain stuck frozen to the bedrock. You can see it with your own eyes how ice will stick to the bottom while being submerged under water.I have only given you a breif scientifically viable flood model,I have not explained it out in a technical way yet. Also notice how I just make my case without telling you to woman-up. I know that as long as you believe it is impossible for a world wide flood and you keep telling yourself that,no amount of evidence I could give would convince you. I just like doing this because it helps me to stay sharp on the stuff I have researched. I've just been giving you a viable scientific model for a world wide flood,its not technical,but is scientifically valid and I have not even brought up about how our God is supernatural,can do miracles if he chooses and that with God all things are possible. But if I cannot convince you while talking to you in a scientific way,how could I convince you?Audie wrote:abelcainsbrother wrote:Audie wrote:This after you agreed the ice moves, meaning it aint stuck????abelcainsbrother wrote:Yes, ice floats but try this experiment : Take a cupful of ice cubes from your freezer,pour them into a dry metal or stoneware bowl,and place the bowl in the freezer for a couple of hours.Remove the bowl,set it on the counter,and quickly pour a glass of tap water over the ice in the bowl.You will find that the ice will remain stuck to the bottom of the bowl,completely submerged under the water until the bowl's surface warms enough to melt the bond.If you transfer this concept to a mountain glacier,it takes an extended amount of time for the bedrock to warm or for water to seep under it to dissolve a much more extensive bond.
But ok..
First, a matter of scale.
Sure, it will hold an icecube down. But scale is why we dont get 777 size aircraft built
of balsa wood with rubber band power. Or giant ants like horses.
Lets calculate the upward force on five miles of ice.
"Buoyed by a force equal to weight of water displaced".
A cubic foot of water is weighs 5.2 lbs more than a cubic ft of ice.
So in 5 miles of ice, the force will be 5.2 x 5280 lbs per square ft.
The weak (it is no super glue) strength of the ice frozen to rock is not going to
hold 25,000 lbs per sq ft. Perhaps if one were to try lifting a 25000 lb safe
with a piece of ice frozen to it? I dont believe you'd want that over your head.
So no, I think you can see freezing it down wont work.
But then you already agreed the ice ice moving; not stuck at all.
The ice is in motion, sliding downhill. Right? (Here is where you say "yes"; dont you forgst, now)
So, even if it were stuck, which it is not, it would still float if flooded.
Side thought..people rather silly and ignorant ones, true.. but some think
thst such as the marine rocks in say, Kansas are left by the flood.
Now IF there had been a flood, AND God miracled the ice so it dont float,
whh isnt there the same rock and fossil assortments found in a " flood layer"
in the ice? Just a side note for the noah -flood fossils on everest grpup.
But never mind. A force of hundreds of pounds per square inch assures that
ice, thst was not stuck anyway, will not stay down.
So now what?
I think we know that it has pretty much stayed in place for millions of years,so it has not moved around so much like you imply,it has pretty much remained in place. Also at different times at the bottom depending on the climate there are times when it could be more floating than frozen to the bedrock. I understand the polar ice is a problem for a world wide flood which is why I have been dealing with it. Also this flood model is not the same as what YEC's typically use for a world wide flood. We do not agree the flood would produce as many fossils as they do,because they would have just decayed away. We believe the vast amount of fossils in the layers of strata have nothing to do with this world,but the former world.Now I know this might make YEC's cringe,but this is a different world wide flood model.I have made my case for now. I might explain it out in a more technical way sometime,but now now.
No, it hss not stayed in place for millions of years. False.
Please admit you sre wrong.
The oldest ice is well under a million years.
Your statement is false.
Can you admit that?
Now, aside from antarctica, there is greenland, and many mountain glaciers.
All glaciers move. They aint stuck.
Wont make a difference if they were, remember?
There is no physical way a glacirr could survive being submerged, and you know it.
Good that you notice it is a problem. You are not dealing with it tho. You are
making things up and changing the subject.
Or as my father in law put it, "thrashing about likd a foul-hooked alligator".
Seriously, man up. This is getting shameful.
