The That’s a Fact video for this week was also about the Global Flood. There’s not much to it:

Flood Stories
As should come as no surprise, flood stories are fairly common throughout the world: so are floods. A lengthy list of such myths and summaries of their narrative compiled by Mark Isaak can be found at talk.origins.
It is a common creationist claim that the large number of these myths is evidence that their Global Flood actually happened. Never mind that the plural of anecdote is not data, and that folklore quite definitely falls under the ‘anecdote’ category. The ICR has even gone so far as to make us a video preaching this message, called Flood Stories:

It’s A Kids Game, Brian
The ‘science’ article for Monday was Noah’s Ark Game Misses the Boat. Puns for the whole family! (This may as well be the next ‘Flood’ article while I’m at it)

The Extinction of the Megafauna
It’s another quicky of a DpSU today. It’s called Did Humans Cause Dinosaur Extinctions? and argues that humans could have been the cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs in the same way as we have recently killed off a subspecies of the Black Rhino. He says: This confirms what researchers generally observe about the [...]

Snelling On The Ark, Part 2
This, then, is part 2 of my stream of consciousness review of Andrew A. Snelling’s article on AiG, Is the Wood Recently Found on Mt. Ararat from the Ark?

Snelling On The Ark, Part 1
It’s an odd DpSU today. It’s called Top Geologist Releases Data on Noah’s Ark Claim and has no author. It’s rather short: One of the top geologists in the creation science community recently released data and analysis of wood samples allegedly taken from a structure on Mt. Ararat last year. Dr. Andrew Snelling, Director of [...]

Dinosaurs! (Flood Part #2)
Arguably the most entertaining part of any creationist Global Flood model is where the dinosaurs come in to it. Indeed, as John Morris himself asks for our introductory article, How Do The Dinosaurs Fit In? Let’s find out…

ICR and the Time Before the Flood (Flood Part #1)
So what does the ICR believe about the Flood? Quite a lot of interesting stuff, to judge by my newly expanded (and easily updateable) page with the list of known ICR articles on the flood. There is so much stuff to wade through that this has had to become a series of articles from the [...]

Limits to Evolution and an Out of Place Fossil – Quick DpSU 14 June
Our first DpSU is entitled “The Cost of Adaptations Limits Evolution“. This seems to be a classic Micro/Macro Evolution story, and by my reckoning a Type AE DpSU (Misrepresented Study). Or in this case, studies. Mr Thomas is talking about two studies from a recent issue of the journal Science in which bacteria (Methylobacterium and [...]

Updates – 6 June
There haven’t been any DpSU’s for some days, and the only thing new on the ICR’s Daily (pseudo)Science Updates page is a rather belated piece called “Louisiana Academic Freedom Challenge Deferred“, about which much has already been written by others some time ago… As for the Flood stuff, I’ve decided to make the one article [...]
