Paul, I had not forgotten that post, I had charitably inferred that its absurdity might have dawned on you, and that you might have found another source of friction.


charity would have been something like , paul have you found
some other means at which the flood waters were produced other
than your proposed friction caused by the extra rotational speed of the earths crust due to the ice gathering at the poles
during the ice age.

did you know that a really slow turning wheel on an axle will
produce large amounts of frictional heat if the bearings become
damaged?

and nope , I havent found anything that could produce a large
enough amount of heat to cause the worldwide flood that has
been recorded in stories from all over the world.

Quote:
Are you seriously suggesting that the movement of water/ice towards the poles could cause a worldwide fracture of every lithospheric plate such that a rift occurred between crust and upper mantle?


nope.

Quote:
Even if your tectonic “miracle” had happened, how/why would that increase friction between mantle and core?


I have already explained that also , I suppose your being
charitable again.

Quote:
Friction between a solid and a liquid at the base of the mantle, for which you have no evidence, caused sufficient heating at the top of the mantle to drive off the hydroxides?

Evidence?



the worldwide flood that has
been recorded in stories from all over the world.

do you have any evidence that all of the stories are not true?

and then theres this.



notice the temp peaks in the graph cannot be linked to a orbit
that the earth would be affected by.





3/4 inch of dust build up on the moon in 4.527 billion years,LOL and QM is fantasy science.
