I am not going to hijack this thread derailing into that statement, but yes, there is a means to falsify god, and ironically, God provides the means to falsify him.

>David: Fascinating study. Yellowstone, which I have visited several times, is a huge caldera with marvelous features. That it was part of Noah's flood is an interesting conjecture. At least there were termites in the petrified trees, if no other animals found so far.

> As far as floods are concerned, it seems pretty obvious to me the great Black Sea flood after the last glacial period, is the basis for the Noachian Flood story. What supports your point of view is the recent suggestion that Earth's mantel contains a huge amount of water. In the story 'much of the water rose from the depths'. Perhaps it could be proposed it receded back there during the miracle. I can see how your thinking runs, but I'm still convinced of a local flood to explain the story. Now if the Ark could be found on Mt. Ararat, we could stop this website.-Actually, the part that makes it interesting is that 
A) That area is more than 5000 feet above sea level.
B) The trees are not native to that area, so they had to come from somewhere (some were native to SE Asia)
C) There were mirror sites in Oregon near the same elevations containing the same type of layers and fauna.-How did trees from Asia end up 5000 + feet above sea level in the U.S. in layered strata in a short amount of time?
