One of the items in this link is: Melting of tie ice-caps:

******Scientists are currently monitoring the melting of the polar ice caps because the extra water would cause the sea level to rise and flood coastal communities *******

My granddaughter came home from school with this - so I gave her an experiment for the Teacher to do to prove it.

Take a glass of water and fill it about three quarters full
Then take some ice cubes and add put them in the glass and mark the level of water on the side of the glass.

Wait for the ice cubes to melt, and then mark the new level of water on the glass.

Try it, you will find that the level of water in the glass has not changed. Anything in water ( Like a boat) will displace it's own weight of water. Ice has about ten percent more volume than the water it was made from. As the ice melts it reduces in size and fills in the volume of water that it initially displaced.

The comments about the Grand Canyon are reasonable. There is ample evidence of large movements of water. The Great Lakes in Canada too.

However it does not fit well with the fossils high in the Alps.
Do a search for yourself.

I have and it does for me. I guess we differ.

Hi,

If we all agreed with each other, there would be nothing to debate? For me the scriptures and the geological record do match. There are other related scriptures that support this, but I think we have gone as far as is reasonable for now.

and that is how a mature, reasonable discussion goes... :-)

When I was at college, we would have debates where at 'half time' the sides would be reversed. The objective was that while debating, one actually listened to what the other person was saying, instead of concentrating on pushing one's own view.

If you want an example, watch a debate on BBC TV, then watch a debate in Fox News - where for most of the time, no-one is actually listening to what the other is saying ( often several people talking at the same time).
