> Tony: 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?-You make a good point about the elevation of the forest. The story tells that the water covered all the mountains, which with Everest at 29,000+ feet or thereabouts, would certainly reach Yellowstone. I read the article carefully. What it does not mention is trees from Asia. but that aside, what really makes me raise questions is the Ark which was not that large. How did Noah get kangaroos and llamas in his region of the world, as examples of species far afield from where the Ark landed. All of the animals boarded at the same time. Also two by two makes for a terrible genetic pool for each species. And what happened to all of the plant vegetation that drowned? None were taken on the Ark and the flood lasted 150 days. -From your comments to dhw you have done an amazing amount of study. Very admirable to me. I'm glad you responded to my request for more material from your point of view. Dhw thinks I am closed-minded. I'm not, but I can't know everything, and I work to conclusions from the material I've had time to cover.
