'Global Flood OK if proposed by Evolutionists'.
If there had been a biblical global flood (literally so) less than 5,000 years ago, there would be compelling historical and scientific evidence for it.
You have promised me - under your post about dinosaur tracks in Alaska - that I will be censored for not answering a question you posed that had nothing to do with the article. Censor away (this will be posted on the BCSE community forum too)!
This Nature letter is referring to what might have happened on the planet more than 500 million years ago. A flooding event from sea level rise so long ago could not be expected to leave overwhelming evidence in today's landscape.

"It’s not clear from the Nature paper whether the authors believe all the high mountains on Earth were covered by water". I very much DOUBT it.

""The old ages ‘seen’ in the Greenland and Antarctic ice cores depend upon the belief that the ice sheets are old to begin with." Untrue. Rather, the 'young' ages ‘seen’ in the Greenland and Antarctic ice cores by people like you depends upon the religious belief that the ice sheets only formed during the last 4,300 years because you have an unscientific belief in a worldwide hill-covering flood and claim it happened just 4,300 years ago. Also your talk of 'uniformitarianism' (do you mean gradualism) is largely irrelevant to visible ice core evidence. Nice try.
First, there has never been a global flood in historical times - never. Second, snow and ice could not produce such massive ice sheets in just 4,300 years. Third, there has been NO 'ice age' within the last 4,300 years. Fourth, if there had been average polar precipitation would probably have been less than today and not greater.
"It is also interesting that the ice cores only show one ice age, just as expected within the biblical paradigm". That's because there has only been one glaciation within the LAST 110,000 years - the last of many, and which ended around 12,000 years ago. You refer to a 'biblical paradigm' but there is NO hint even of a 'post-flood rapid ice age' in Genesis - NONE AT ALL.
Please also explain THIS:

Your claims about Antarctica are nonsensical.
"It is obvious that accepting the Bible’s history of the Earth is most likely to lead you to the truth". Yes - because real science shows the Bible to be wrong where and when it touches on scientific topics or the planet's history. Which annoys you. Thus you are trying to rewrite science to 'help' God (if he exists)."
THIS IS THE BEST THEY CAN DO BUT YEC FUNDAMENTALISTS STILL CLING TO THEIR ANTI-SCIENCE.

"The Creation Museum's mission is to show the feasibility of biblical stories. So with the Ark Encounter, they're also setting out to show what day-to-day life would have been like for Noah.
"Not only are we thinking through the different kinds of animals represented onboard and how you deal with 12 million tons of waste every day," Zovath says.
How exactly would Noah have accomplished that? "Very, very carefully I think," Zovath says. "I'm not sure how they did that"".
Noah had a problem with inconvenient animal waste.
Modern YECs have a problem with inconvenient facts.

"with more morphological variation between them than between the various proposed species of Homo". Where did you get that from? I've not read it anywhere. Is it in the Science paper (I've only been able to read the Abstract)?
You could delete my post but STILL answer my question as a PS type comment."
