The very intelligent walt brown explains the hydroplate theory. After I reviewed the mechanisms for a few weeks, I've decided it's incredibley elaborate and explains just about every aspect of geology today.

It is a ridiculous theory that doesn't fit the evidence. Then again why would we expect differently.

It's not ridiculous and it does fit the evidence.

Rebuttals:

"Brown's model requires
that no mountains be on the preflood earth, forcing the Bible to be wrong."

No, there could be mountains and hills already, the granitic crust would buckle into larger clusters of mountains.

"Early collapse of the
subterranean water"

"Could happen anyways" is pointless. The fact that it happened is enough. Of course we already understand sin was the catalyst.

"Everybody will cook"

Not so, subterranean water comes out, cools off, disrupts stratosphere, rapidly freezes and cools atmosphere, everything freezes. Come on, its easy.

Subterranean water chambers still exist, ocean water is geologically shallow. This explains where the water came from and where it went.

It is "easy" but not true. It would be superheated due to the pressure. When it shoots out it will cool off by transferring the heat to the atmosphere. That is why it would cook everyone.

The little bit of water that is in aquifers would not be nearly enough.

ok 9 tails..

you freeking IDIOT SELFPWNER.

"Not so, subterranean water comes out, cools off,"

that actually is what we are saying, and that "cools off" means that is suddenly adds large amounts of heat to the atmosphere, not to mention the stratosphere, cooking everything, and then creatign a large unbalance in the weather.

not to mention that you need to account for somehting rapidly freezing when it warms up the air around it by 10s of the degrees. (btw it's so cold up there because there is less air to recieve radiation from the sun and ground, so adding watervapor will increase that capacity, slowing cooling)

"disrupts stratosphere"

true

" rapidly freezes and cools atmosphere"

and what explanation do you have for this?

"everything freezes. Come on, its easy."

including the ark? or does that magically not freeze because it's closer to the equator, while tonnes of watervapor cloud blot out the sky. preventing that warm medditerainian sun from warming the sea noah now finds himself in while -300 fahrenheit are freezing everything around.

y REALLY plausable....

The Wikipedia article on flood geology lists several problems with that theory:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroplate_theory#Hydroplates

- The rock of the Earth's crust does not float, and any subterranean
waters underneath the crust would have been expelled almost immediately
and risen to the surface.

- The temperature of water rises with depth, due to pressure (the
principle is the same as in a pressure cooker): any water at the depths
proposed by Brown would reach the surface as steam, creating flood
waters too hot for any life on the Ark to survive.

- The violent explosion of subterranean waters proposed by Brown
would erode the walls of the fissures as it escaped, leaving behind
obvious evidence of basaltic erosion near the fissures and along the
thousand-miles long course of the receding waters as they drained into
the ocean basins. Such evidence has not been found.
