Continental Sprint: A Global Flood Model for Earth History - Dr. Steve Austin (Conf Lecture)

[@73F100]

Thank you Dr. Austin for posting this. I have always been extremely interested in the flood event. This presentation causes one to realize just how well engineered and well built the ark had to be to survive this kind of calamity and preserve the precious cargo inside.

This channel is a repository of amazing information.. wow- how is his channel funded? It’s so good

[@Calatriste54]

Justin, the Truth has a way about it. Won't be held back forever.. I agree.

Some folks are willingly ignorant & would not be persuaded if one, (such as JESUS, with over 500 witnesses) were raised from the dead

I was first exposed to catastrophism in college in the seventies. Not in Geology, a course I loved, where catastrophism was actually mentioned but discarded, but by an English teacher who introduced me to Emmanuel Velikovski. I read Worlds in Collision and Earth in Upheaval. Thank you so much for teaching the truth about our history. Even though Velikovski was reported to be an atheist, I always viewed his theories as proof that the Bible is historically accurate. The paradigm we were raised on was wrong.

[@Calatriste54]

My exposure was from Pastor Chuck Smith, Dr. Henry Morris, Dr Duane Gish.

I just love listening to the lectures. Just amazing! Better yet, I would love to go see and learn of the places talked about.

[@tonyputman3398]

Thank you Dr. Austin! Your explanation is very logical. "God pushed a button"... indeed!!!

[@kmaterne]

The 6 million dollar man did the lecture? That’s cool! There’s a reference that’ll go way over some younger people’s heads. Lol!

[@Johnny-wr1wp]

This lecture is great!

[@WadeWeigle]

Thank you for sharing this content. God bless you and all you do.

That presentation was Stone Cold!

Why do we creationists (well, other creationists) think we *need* to fit the pre-flood continents together in the same shape as we see them today? The flood utterly changed the entire Earth, why do we think the continents didn't look completely different before the flood? Or, why do we think that oceans were even a thing prior to the flood? The entire Earth could have been covered in mostly land (thinner than the continents we see today), with much smaller seas rather than oceans, and when the fountains of the great deep ripped the crust apart, all that material spread out and covered the now continents, making them thicker. As the mid-oceanic ridge rose, those continents then moved apart to their present locations, ripping up any sedimentary layers that remained on the basalt ocean base.

Thank you Dr. Austin. Much respect.

Stone Cold Dr. Steve Austin!

Great presentation! A comment though: it doesn’t look like a dam breach fits the Grand Canyon picture very well- as far as I know it doesn’t explain the upstream canyons or the lack of debris field as seen downstream of the Missoula dam breach. The receding floodwaters theory seems to fit much better. It can explain the water gap, the fractal backwards erosion of the canyon, and the transport of sediments farther than the end of the canyon.

Thank you for this. Love it.

Steve, "fountain of the great deep ...." . Did you ever have a look at the growing earth hypothesis? This would make sense in this context. Despite beeing an "atheistic darwinist" I realy like your lecture. Lost of new, inspiring ideas. Thank you very much.

Thank you for your Chanel. I live on an ancient ocean floor in se oklahoma

45:22 "an oscillatory flow" - I wonder how much effect the moon and tides had there.

[@lougroff8842]

Does anyone include in the models the effects of strong earthquakes churning up soil. Such that it quickly erodes when water runs through it?

[@spyrosmitrakos5085]

Doesn't explain why this process happened so quickly in a particular time

[@jimagnew1643]

WHAT WOULD THE WORLD LOOK LIKE, IF TEMPORARY WE COULD LOOK AT THE WORLD WITH OUT WATER? THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE SO WILD TO LOOK AT.

This theory has a lot of problems. Here's how I see it: Except for Shields like Canada, the continents had to be formed by basins filling with sediments. These had to wash down from somewhere. Only part of it could comeoff the Cratons. What are now the areas of the ocean basins had to be Basalt underlain with "Great deep" consisting of water not then on the surface. Water under high pressure and temperatures is a strong solvent. The water would only stay beneath the basalt crust if it had enough dissolved minerals to approach the density of the crustal rock. If the minerals began to precipitate and the water would become very unstable and rise to the surface through the Basalt. So before the flood we have high basalt plains, basins with no underlying "Great Deep" and continental cratons. . If the minerals began to precipitate and the water would become very unstable. So we have high basalt plains, basins with no underlying "Great Deep" and continental cratons. When the fountains of the Great deep were broken up, the basins along the Craton margins began to fill. The water from under the earth now suddenly at low pressure, precipitated the carbonates and silicates. As the high basalt plains subsided and shed their weathered surface filling the basins, the crustal relief became much less. This caused the surface to be dominated almost entirely by water. Gigantic tides began to build, leveling the surface even more and creating the Cyclothem series. The tides eventually built up to the extent that the earth began to wobble on it's axis. This caused the crust to melt basalt at the aesthenosphere level allowing the plates to form and to easily slide. As cracks opened up, melted basalt flow into contact with sea water. As the wobble progressed, the cracks would open further but would again fill with basalt,pushing the plates further apart. The sedimentary flood formations were compressed and uplifted compared to the rapidly forming new seabeds that were now basalt crust directly in contact with the mantle. The water began to subside as it filled the newly forming ocean basins. At a certain point, the tides would be blocked by the emerging continents and the wobble would stop. The combination of very warm ocean water and volcanic activity on a grand scale caused ice sheets to form, hastening the emergence of the continents.

Has this guy been drinking? And how difficult would it have been to generate some kind of animation of the plate movement?

[@Julia-Julia]

A good lecture, but the manner in which he is presenting it, is kind of annoying... I got tired of it by the middle of the lecture!

The bible's account of the flood is credible. Its starts by saying there was no rain, but the earth was watered by dew each morning, indicating the humidity and climate. Massive amounts of water was held as transparent vapor in the sky that allowed sun, moon, and stars to be seen. When the flood did begin, it was slow enough but catastrophic enough to eventually affect the poles, that later turned to ice instead of draining with the continental sprint. What was going on underneath the water is likely the weight of the additional water on the earth's crust causing some continental change and upheavals around the globe. The water did not drain, it pushed land masses up and weighed the basins down. This displacement is likely the cause of rock being turned on its side and the fossil remains being dispersed onto the surface. Earth was more like a pearl than a marbled planet.
