A Question To Creationists About The Geological Column

Sovereign · #1 by **Sovereign** » Jan 21, 2012 10:30 pm

Now as many of us are aware, the YEC position advocates that the geological column is a product of the global flood. Now for those who don't know, Curiosity was sent to a location to study Mars' geological column. So my question to creationists is did God cause a global flood on Mars and if so why, if there was no life there?

How do you know there wasn't life ?
Maybe there was, and since Noah was on earth, there was absolutely no one righteous there. So the flood killed everyone.
And in the same way He put dinosaurs' fossils on earth to test our faith in Him, he removed all fossils on Mars.

Any other question ?

The Bible never said anything about life on Mars nor their being sin on Mars. Christianity is very human on Earth center of the universe centric. The Bible didn't say so what is the reason for the column on Mars?

Well there was also a bible on Mars, but it disappeared with the Mars flood

Mars was the god's first fully failed attempt - everything sinned and was destroyed. The Earth was only a slightly less outright failure - everything apart from one family sinned. :dunno:

Ever read CS Lewis' Sci-fi Trilogy? It's actually not bad.

And I was under the impression that to get fossils on tectonically active planets, you actually had to dig, rather than take 2 1/2 scoops of dirt and call it lifeless.

Are you talking about Mars? Mars isn't tectonically active.

And if you took two scoops of dirt on Earth, you'd have several billion organisms there, plus a suite of chemicals that were produced by them and other organisms.

True, but not proper fossils.

And Mars has volcanoes, doesn't it? Or was that only Venus? I thought for sure it was both...

You can get bacterial microfossils too.

Mars has volcanic mountains, but it's not active now.

There is no "Mars", you silly atheists. It's a hole in the Firmament, like all the other "planets" and "stars", except God put a bit of red cellophane on it.

It's a measure of the idiocy and duplicity of the man, that I can actually imagine Kent Hovind stating this to an audience of polydactylous inbreeds, telling them it's scientific fact, and taking money from them for the privilege of being thus misled.

Yes, there was a great flood on Mars. It wiped out Martian civilization.

While this is obviously a silly, throwaway non-sequitur, it's really no less ridiculous than many of the positions you hold.

Ah yes, and 9/11 was an inside job, we never set foot on the moon, the Illuminati is conspiring towards a New World Order, giant lizard overlords are coming from Nibiru to make us their slaves, and the government is using HAARP to control the weather. Gotcha.... :lol:

And the floodwaters rose high enough to cover all the planets :nod:
