Two points dispose of all of Mr. MacKenzie's objections.  First, there is no ''logical'' objection to the biblical account.  It cannot be disproved.  Let's be clear about that.  It may not comport easily with someone's everyday experience 5000 years later, but the same could be said about many other facts in history also.  There is simply no ''logical'' flaw in the account.

Second, the [[theory of evolution]] has even greater difficulties explaining how species survived massive flooding.  No one credibly denies that worldwide flooding occurred; even today the world is over 70% covered with water, most remaining inhabitable land is within 100 feet of sea level, and limestone deposits from water are found at all heights.  Local, but massive, flooding occurs frequently and widely, with devastating affects.  The theory of evolution does not have a more plausible explanation for how species survive this in the long run.

Finally, Mr. MacKenzie need not speculate about animal behavior 5000 years ago.  Animals fled to high ground in the tsunami that devastated Indonesia merely 5 years ago.  Mr. MacKenzie would likely claim (based on materialism) that such behavior is impossible or implausible, yet it undeniably occurred.  No need to go back 5000 years; why not simply address behavior of 5 years ago that confound [[materialist]]s?--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 19:09, 29 October 2009 (EDT)
