Proof of the global flood, if proof were needed. When Sir Hilary Clinton scaled the vast mountain of Everest he found that there were fish bones

and other fish fossils scattered all over the place. I would love to see how the 'flood deniers' could explain these apples.

So how did they get there?

Looks like 1/0 to creation science.

Hillary Clinton might have taken those fish with them and had them for lunch and planted the bones there which is why we have armadillos.

@hunkalove Thanks for BA, Professor!

Flying fish used to be much more adept at flying, obviously 🙄

@Zaphod42 Bugger, I forgot about them.

Sir Hilary Clinton?
I thought it was Sir Edmond Hilary that first scaled Mt.Everest?
I mean, Hilary Clinton could probably pass for a “Sir”, but I don’t think she could scale Mt. Everest
I'd need to see some documentation. There's no way fish fossils would have been "scattered around" unless someone had placed them there recently. Sitting on the surface, they would have disappeared a long time ago just from the weather.

Also, fossilization takes at least 10,000 years, and the flood was supposedly only 5000 years ago. Also, fossilization occurs during subsidence, not uplifting which created the Himalayas. So I'm calling BS on this story.

Since you're an expert on the flood, can you explain what happened to the plants? "Noah was six hundred years old when the floodwaters came on the earth. And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood. Pairs of clean and unclean animals, of birds and of all creatures that move along the ground, male and female, came to Noah and entered the ark, as God had commanded Noah." Genesis 7:6-9

It also says "Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; people and animals and the creatures that move along the ground and the birds were wiped from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark. The waters flooded the earth for a hundred and fifty days." Genesis 7:23-24

Plants are alive, so "every living thing" includes them. And few if any land plants can survive 150 days underwater. That would kill many seeds as well, especially since it was brackish as it would have been a mixture of rain and seawater.

To answer this, you have to gin up an explanation outside of the text. Or, you have to accept that this is a made-up story and the writer simply forgot to include plants.

@LeopoldBloom all the documentation needed is to be found in the scriptures
@deadgerbil Really? Please cite the Bible verse that refers to fish fossils on top of Mt. Everest. Maybe they use the Tibetan name "Chomolungma" or the Sanskrit "Sagarmāthā."

They were not actually fish bones, but marine life that existed about 400 million years ago. Plate tectonics lifted that ancient seabed to form the mountains. The fossils are not proof of an ancient flood but evidence for plate tectonics.

It's a sherpa tradition to eat fish at the summit every September to celebrate their holiday Idrajatra

we definitely had higher sea levels at one point

although you could attribute it to tektonic plat shifts too

When mountains are formed they get pushed up. India has been ramming into mongolia for millions of years.

Very compelling. I appreciate what a conduit of truth you are
Birds fly at that height , drop fish
Bones
But to your point there is a god
