Noah, what caused the flood? with Brian Lauer

Opening Remarks and Creation Fellowship Introduction

All right.

Amen.

And give me just a minute while I clear this. Here we go. Okay, so I am Terry Camerizell and I'm here with Creation Fellowship Santee. We're a group of friends bound by our common agreement that the creation account, as told in Genesis, is a true depiction of how God created the earth and all life in just six days, about 6 ,000 years ago.

We met for about 10 years in person at the Creation and Earth History Museum in Santee, California, but took to this on...

Okay.

Since June of 2020 we haven't looked back. God has blessed us with presentations from scientists, doctors, authors, pastors, cartoonists, prophecy speakers, and other talented people who love the Lord and have a message to share.

You can now find links to most of our past presentations by typing in tinyurl .com forward slash CF Santee, that's C like creation, F like fellowship, and Santee is spelled S-A-N-T-E-E. You can email us at creationfellowshipsantee at gmail .com to get on our email list, so you don't miss upcoming speakers.

We never spam. Joe and Stacey Gaona have been our friends and members for many years, and since Joe's homecoming last year, we always want to honor his memory by mentioning the continuing work of his ministry throughout all ages.

Throughout all ages focuses on reaching people with the gospel, contending for the faith, and stirring the body to love and good works. Although they enjoy street witnessing and other evangelistic events, God has blessed them with the unique opportunity to go into public schools and speak to young people on relevant topics.

You can learn more about throughout all ages ministries at throughoutallages .com. And tonight, we're blessed to have Brian Lauer as our speaker. Brian has a passion to help people solidify their faith in the Bible by looking at science.

The evidence overwhelmingly supports a creator, a young earth, and a worldwide flood perspective. Tragically, this information has been censored or misinterpreted by evolutionists. Community creation clubs may help people see the truth.

Brian has given creation presentations from Minnesota to Florida at churches, schools, camps, and universities. He has also helped start Bible clubs and creation clubs at colleges. And you can find out more about him at solidifyyourfaith .webs .com.

I hope I got that right, Brian. So tonight, we're interested to hear his presentation about one of the possible models of the worldwide flood. It's the hydroplate theory, and we'll let him introduce that.

Why the Hydroplate Theory Claims to Explain Flood Evidence

Well, thank you very much, Terry. I appreciate that you hit all the high points so we can dive right in. I will start sharing the screen, I believe. Oops, wait a minute. And I'm here basically to. I mean, I got one of my talks was censored on YouTube.

So I started a Rumble channel called, let's see, where am I going here, called Education, Not Indoctrination. Can you guys see that screen right there? Yes?

Yes, we can see. Yes.

All right. Okay. Yeah. And so you can see my talks on YouTube. You can see Education, Not Indoctrination on Rumble, so you can get all the information. And I'm all for a free flow of information because we need all the information to make informed decisions.

And that's what I'm going to do tonight with this talk. I'm going to give you another perception on how to see things. And once you see it, you may not be able to unsee it like these lines right here.

In high school physics, Mr. Wabaki wrote this on the board and he said, OK, anybody know what it is? And nobody did. So he said, that's a bear climbing up the other side of a tree. And just if you can hit that, if you see that, just hit like or raise a hand or something.

But it's a bear climbing up the other side of the tree and I'll color it in for you. And so when I when I see that, I see a bear climbing up the other side of the tree. And that's what I want to do with the Earth.

I want you to get another perspective of the Earth. And keep in mind, throughout the history of science, experience has shown us that the simplest theory that explains the most details is probably correct.

OK. And last month I was at Living Waters Bible Camp in Wisconsin. There was a famous scientist there and speakers there was really a good time.

And this is what that isn't that called Occam's razor.

Yeah. Yeah, that's the simplest one. Yeah. But this is their theme for the for the camp is discover or explore, discover, wonder and worship. And we're going to focus on wonder for about 10, 15 minutes.

Have you ever wondered why the far side of the moon is different than the near side of the moon? I mean, the near side is dark. That's on the right side. And that dark stuff is lava flows. There's a lot more lava flows and a lot more Earth moonquakes on the near side as opposed to the far side.

And there's a lot more density on the near side as opposed to the far side, which is counterintuitive. It looks like it's been shot with buckshot, which is unusual. I mean, because the Earth is going to protect the near side.

You know, if it's something's coming in from the left, it's going to hit the Earth. It's not going to hit the moon. Some coming in the right, it's going to hit the moon. Right. And then especially when you throw in the Earth's gravitational pull.

I mean, most stuff coming in from the left is going to end up on Earth, not the moon. So how come the near side is pounded and the far side is peppered? And how come the far side of the moon is colder than they expected?

The nights were 30 degrees colder than they figured it should be. And how come the oldest rock found, Earth's oldest rock was found on the moon? How did that get there? And how do you get these peanut shaped asteroids coming together?

You know, how does that happen? And this is their own words. It's a major mystery how two objects, each the size of skyscrapers, could collide without blowing each other to smithereens. And it's especially puzzling in a region of the solar system where the gravitational forces would normally include collision speeds of 4 ,500 miles an hour.

4 ,500 miles an hour and yet they're coming together gradually. You ever wonder about that? I mean, they do. And how about these rounded boulders in comet 67P? And there's that science thing up in the left that says comet close up reveals a world of surprises.

Yeah, rounded boulders in space. How do you get rounded boulders? Because if they collide, it's going to be sharp edges, not rounded. And how about a frozen mammoth standing up? You ever wonder about that?

How do you freeze a mammoth standing up? They found them in permafrost. This is in the Russian Museum right now. And how did it get so cold so fast that could flash freeze it? Because they could still find identifiable food in its stomach.

It had to be 150 degrees below zero. Then once they froze, how come they didn't thaw out? Because contrary to popular belief, mammoths, woolly mammoths are not Arctic animals. They don't have wool. They don't have fur.

They have hair. And this hair, they don't have any oil glands to make it waterproof. They don't have erector muscles to make it warmer. And so they aren't going to last. I mean, our nose, one inch nose gets cold in the winter.

I mean, can you imagine if that was six feet long? And they eat too much. They drink too much. There's no way they can live up there. So how did they get there? And what froze them? And why didn't they thaw out?

Then how do you fuse past iron? This is one of the unanswered questions that they can't answer. It's like, why is that? And then, you know, they say we're made of star stuff. The Big Bang created hydrogen, helium, and a little bit of lithium and other light elements, atoms.

But everything else, the carbon and oxygen and almost 100 other elements that make up animals, plants, and Earth itself were made by stars. The problem is that physicists aren't quite sure how stars did it.

And where'd all the limestone come from? And why are there 60 ,000 times more limestone on Earth than carbon dioxide in the atmosphere? Because whenever limestone is formed, it makes a particle of carbon dioxide.

And there's way too little carbon dioxide for all the limestone. And Bob Dietz, he's the guy who coined the term seafloor spreading, was asked, you know, where did all the limestone come from? And he answered, beats the hell out of me.

And where did the sediment come from? They asked that last month at that creation adventure. We're taking a look at the quartzite that you can see in Baraboo. And you can also see that same layer in the bottom of the Grand Canyon.

Then there's sedimentary layers above it. And somebody asked, well, where did the sediment come from? And the scientist or whoever was speaking said, well, that's something to wonder about. Well, this theory is going to show you where that sediment came from.

Why is the ratio 65 parts granite and 35 parts basalt in a sedimentary rock that doesn't have carbon like limestone? How come is that? And why did it get so evenly mixed with a cementing agent like calcium carbonate and quartz?

You know, if you have sand on your driveway, it's not going to turn to sandstone. You know, the sand dunes are not turning to sandstone. You have to be mixed with a cementing agent. How did that happen?

And what caused the continental slope and the continental shelf? Why is it gradual like that? How do you get these continental layers of sediment? Those things at the Grand Canyon, they just don't end there.

They go all over the continent. And Dr. Randy Galuzza, he was saying, if he was in college right now, you know, they talk about uniformitarianism. Present processes are the key to the past. You'd say, what present process is laying down continental layers of sediment?

Not only that, they're worldwide. Thanks to Tim Clary, he's done some research. That Zuni megasequence goes all over the world. What present process is laying down worldwide layers of sediment and fossilizing things like Crazy 2?

And how do plateaus form? And this is a problem. What mechanism would cause large volume of low-standing continent to rise rapidly a mile in the air? And the Moho under the Colorado Plateau is approximately 10 kilometers greater than over most of the continental North America.

So it's a double-ended mystery. For the Colorado Plateau, it seems to have grown downward and upward at the same time. How does that happen? You ever wondered why most of the major mountain ranges are parallel to the mid-oceanic ridges?

You ever wondered how the mid-oceanic ridge got there? It's a 46 ,000-mile mountain range that was made. Look at the cracks. They're straight. Those are tension cracks. That's not compression cracks.

Tension is when you're pulling on something, and then it'll crack, and then it releases the pressure. So this has tension cracks in two directions. So how do you make a mountain by stretching it in two directions?

That doesn't make sense. And they had this startling discovery. The Earth's crust is missing in the Atlantic. Why is that? And why is the Pacific so much different than the other oceans? Why does it have 40 ,000 volcanoes?

Why are the trenches, most of the trenches in the Pacific Ocean, including the Mariana Trench, which is the deepest place on Earth, what formed that? And how does 90 East Ridge form? That's a 3 ,000-mile straight line.

That's a crack in the Earth that points directly at the Himalayas.

Why?

Why is that? How do you get marine fossils five miles above the sea level? What causes a mountain to form? What's the mechanism? What's the energy? What's the force? What causes the inland seas like the Gulf of Mexico and the Mediterranean?

They've got a lot of salt on the bottom. Why is that? And how do you cut submarine canyons? How do you cut a canyon under the ocean? That just doesn't make sense. And some of these are longer than Grand Canyon.

And Grand Canyon, how does a little river cut a canyon 18 miles wide? And why are side canyons just as deep as Grand Canyon, but they don't have a river? Why is that? And where'd all the dirt go? There was a guy who was giving tours there, and he said, you know what?

He'd say, I dug that. And a little kid asked him, well, where'd you put the dirt? And he said that question haunted him the rest of his life. Where did that dirt go? 800 cubic miles of Grand Canyon sediment is gone.

Not only that, 2 ,000 cubic miles of sediment that was above the Grand Canyon is gone. That was a great denotation. And then how come it's always so flat and pure? How did that happen? And what caused that funnel?

And there's barbed canyons, which are flowing the wrong way. They're flowing into the stream and then turn around. What caused that 12-mile funnel to form? And once you see that funnel, you can't unsee it.

There was a lot of water there at one time. And how do you get potholes 3 ,300 feet above the river on a 2 ,000-foot cliff that's four miles away from the river? And just to give you a scale of that cliff, in the bottom left corner, that dot where it says house, that's a house.

And that's a 2 ,000-foot cliff above it. And it points to where it is. And then it points to where that pothole is. And just to the left, in that upper left, you're looking at the bottom of the canyon there.

And on the bottom, there's two more canyons like that. How do you get water flowing that fast, that far away from the river? And how do you get this layer of this rock, quartzite rock, that's 5 or 10 tons high, how do you get that lifted up into the sediment?

We aren't going to have time to answer this question, but you can see that on Brian Nichols' video. Also, I do a talk called Grand Canyon Answers where we'll be able to talk about that. Why did the river flow through the Kayabab Plateau instead of around it?

Why is that? Why did the river cut hard granite instead of softer sediment in the inner gorge? It cut into the hard rock instead of eroding away the soft rock. Why is that? How do mason putes and spires form?

How does a petrified tree form? How about lineaments? These are linear features on the Earth's surface, such as a fault. They're pretty much straight lines. How does that form? And how do you get a canyon in Greenland, about the size of Grand Canyon, roughly, underneath two kilometers of ice?

And how do you get lakes in Antarctica under two miles of ice? How does that happen? And it says, this textbook says, South Pole is mostly covered by ice, but fossils show that dinosaurs, alligators, dinosaurs and palm trees once lived on the land.

How does that happen? And they find in the north of the Arctic Circle, they find that snakes, tortoises, alligators, badgers, shrews live in permafrost. That doesn't make sense. What caused the Ice Age?

And how come there isn't a glacier in parts of Alaska during the Ice Age, where there's permafrost? Why is that? And that same thing for Siberia. How does that happen? And how do redwood trees grow in permafrost in the north of the Arctic Circle?

And these things are huge. These things are, you know, over 100 feet tall. They got 10 foot diameters. And they have a bizarre absence of oxygen -18, the heavy isotope. What's going on there? And why does comets have twice as much deuterium as the oceans?

You know, comets have, deuterium, by the way, is hydrogen. Hydrogen is typically a proton and electron. Deuterium is you just add a neutron to that. Where do these neutrons come from to add to the hydrogen?

And why is it twice as much? Okay, and why do you have stuff from the, found on Earth in comets? Stuff like water, silicates, limestone, cubanite, olivine, organics, bacteria. And cubanite has to be formed in scalding hot water.

Limestone has to be formed in water. How does that happen? I mean, where's the water in the solar system, especially scalding hot? I mean, Earth is the water planet. Okay, how do you get sea plankton found on the International Space Station?

How did it get there? How did space plankton get into outer space, or sea plankton? Okay, and how did asteroids get moons? It's really hard to catch a moon. I mean, they've got four theories to explain the Earth's moon, and one of the guys says the best way to explain it is observational error.

It doesn't exist because it's so hard. Uh-oh, what happened? Okay, and so, you know, because if things are coming together, they're going to accelerate and slingshot by each other, or else they're going to collide and blow each other apart.

How do you get asteroids with moons? And this one has two moons. How does that happen? How do you get chondrals in space? That's like a little melted rock inside a rock. How do you get them into outer space?

How do you get a canyon made from water erosion on Mars? Okay, and then the comets. If they came from the Oort cloud, they should be a 50 -50 mix as far as how they go around the sun. But almost all of them, 93 of them, go in the same orbit as the Earth.

That's prograde. Okay, and why is that? That shouldn't be. And the midterm comets, now it's a 70 -30 mix, so most of them still go in the same direction as the Earth, but the long-term ones are pretty much a 50 -50 mix.

Why is that, especially if they're supposed to come from the Oort cloud? Okay, and my question, this is my question. Why doesn't the moon orbit the Earth's equator? You know, the moon is on the same orbital plane that the Earth goes around the sun.

Why isn't it around the equator? And I haven't heard anybody talk about that. It's like, hmm, I wonder. Okay, so we've asked a lot of questions, a lot of questions, a lot of wondering we're doing. Okay, but what if there was a theory out there that could answer all of this?

And keep in mind, the simplest theory explaining the most details is probably correct. So with that, I submit to you, let's prepare to color in the details. Okay, what happened for me, big moments in my life, is when somebody connected the dots, my cousin Carol, she sent me a copy of this video called The Age of the Earth, and I realized that the Bible is true in every area, and evolution is false.

You know, and that connected the dots. And what colored in the details, where I listened to this, I saw it, and I just can't unsee it anymore. It's like, oh, that explains everything perfectly. I listened to Walt Brown.

They had Walt Brown Week on rsr .org. You can buy this at rsr .org. It's incredible. It's Walt Brown explaining his theory, talking about Grand Canyon, comets, evolution, and just all of this stuff, all encompassing.

And it's like, oh, that makes sense. And so what I'm going to try to do tonight is just do a speedboat over top the surface of the theory. We aren't going to dig down too deep, but we're just going to give it a whirl.

And I really have a lot of respect for Bob Enyart and Fred Williams. They've been doing real science radio for I'm not sure how long, but that's my favorite website. If I want to learn something, I just go into RSR, and I'll type in the subject, like dinosaur soft tissue or moon dust or whatever, and they'll have a scientist or an astronaut talking about it, and it's really funny.

But on with Walt Brown, okay. He went to West Point Army Paratrooper. West Point Paratrooper got his Ph .D. from MIT in mechanical engineering. He did his thesis on heat transfer, so he understands heat really well.

And he was a brilliant guy. He ran the Benet Military Lab, which had hundreds of scientists and dozens of Ph .D .s. So he's got some really sharp colleagues. And actually the Air Force wanted him to teach at the Air Force Academy, and he switched services.

And it was a full colonel. So he's a sharp guy, sharp guy. He was an evolutionist. And he's driving through the, I think it was in the 70s, he's driving through South Dakota, and he hears on the radio that somebody claimed to have found Noah's Ark on a mountain.

And he thought, that's crazy. But there's not much to do in South Dakota besides count down the miles to Walt's drug. So just a mental exercise, he thought, well, you know, if they found an ark on a mountain, that would mean the whole world was flooded.

That would mean there would be a whole bunch of plants and animals that were buried in mud. Well, that would mean that turned to fossils. And that would mean that, wait a minute, wait a minute. It hit him like a lightning bolt.

That would mean, wait, that fossils are evidence of a flood, not evolution? And he started to, he said, where's the evidence for evolution if it's not fossils? And he started to ask his colleagues, what evidence do you have for evolution?

And after two years of asking, he didn't have any evidence for evolution. And he became a creationist. And he came up with this theory, the Hydroplate Theory. And it's hundreds of pages long, or it's in the beginning.

And this book is out of print. It was a $30 book. It's over $100 now because it's out of print. Okay, that's the sign of a good book when it goes up in value instead of down. And you can see it online.

You go on to hpt .rsr .org. You can see the flipbook. It's really cool. And they're working on getting the ninth edition out. And when you have a theory, I mean, most theories go from we know what the effect is, but we don't know what caused it.

We know the effect, but it's an unknown cause. This is different. He sets up the cause with only one assumption. And then he lets the laws of physics go at it and gives us the effects, which are perfect.

And I gave this book to a geologist at our college at St. Cloud State. And I told her, you don't have a theory that works for Grand Canyon. Do you want to see one that does? And she was curious, so she took the book.

And she went through it. She had it for about six months. And we finally got down, we got together, and we talked again. And she said, if the assumption is true, the science works. She just did not believe the assumption was true.

So the fewer the assumptions you have, the better. The more predictions you can make, the better. Okay, and I wish that we could save a lot of time with these theories if they couldn't publish their theory until they made an accurate prediction.

That would save us a lot of time and a lot of money. But she said that if the assumption is true, what I'm about to show you is valid. Okay, and so what's the assumption? Oh, Brian Nickell does a great job, too, animating it.

Go into YouTube, Brian Nickell. He gave me a lot of these slides. I get a lot of information. He's got the best Grand Canyon video I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of them. And just top-notch. He knows this probably just as well, almost as well as Walt Brown.

And I encourage you to check that out or buy his DVD because they can shut down YouTube anytime they want. And so what's the assumption? Basically, just picture the Earth as a big apple. The assumption is half of the ocean water was inside the Earth, roughly 60 miles deep.

It was about a mile thick. And so just think of the Earth as a big apple. The skin is 60 miles thick, made of granite. And then there's a layer of water underneath it. That's water, a mile, about a mile thick.

And then underneath that is basalt. And the granite and the basalt are touching each other at thousands of places underneath the Earth. Walt Brown calls them pillars. Okay, so that's the one assumption.

How it got there isn't part of the theory, but that's the one assumption. Okay, so now let's let the laws of physics go at it. You throw in the moon because the moon's gravity tugs on the Earth. You get high tide twice a day.

High tide and low tide, it's tugging on the Earth. It's going to tug on the crust too. And back then, the crust wasn't broken into plates like it is today. It was just the crust. So it stretched and compressed, stretched and compressed, stretched and compressed, and that added heat.

It got hotter and hotter. And so the heat went into the water. And water will boil at 212 degrees at sea level. But what if you plug it up and add the pressure and just keep adding more and more heat?

Eventually, it becomes supercritical water. And that's what happened inside the subterranean water chamber. It wanted to boil, but it didn't have any room to expand. And so this is when liquid density and gas density are equal.

And that happens at 705 degrees Fahrenheit under 3200 PSI. It's supercritical, where it's not really water and it's not really steep, but whatever it is, it dissolves things like crazy. So now it starts to dissolve the granite above and the basalt below and starts to make these elements like limestone and salts and quartz.

And that's how you made the limestone, because now when it's making an element of carbon dioxide, it's getting recycled. It's not going up into the atmosphere. It's getting recycled into something else, and then it turns into limestone and it gets recycled and it turns into limestone.

And that's how you get all the limestone. That's where you get a lot of this sediment, too. And the cementing mixing agents are also being formed in the subterranean waters. And if you want to see more of that, Brian Nichols spoke at our Creation Club.

We get a Rumble channel. Go into Twin Cities Creation Science Association on Rumble, TCCSA, and he does a great job. Or you can go into his YouTube site, too. So what's happening here? A lot of those salts, a lot of those minerals, and it's getting hotter and hotter.

It's getting warmer or weaker and weaker. It's dissolving the crust. So the crust is getting weaker and weaker. And eventually, there's a crack in the earth. It erupts to the front, erupts to the top, okay?

And it's going to crack the earth and it's going to go around in two directions at three miles per second. And in two hours, it encircles the globe. And the water, which is now under 60 miles of granite, plus all that pressure and heat, it's under 370 ,000 PSI.

So it just erupts to the surface. And just to think of what water can do, keep your eye on the dumpsters. See what's going to happen at the dumpsters.

Boom.

That's just one water vein. Can you imagine what was happening if the whole earth did that? And the Bible tells us, in the 600th year of Noah's life, in the second month, the 17th day of the month, the same day where the bones of the great deep broken up and the windows of heaven were open.

So that's what happened and when it happened. And the water's erupting up. So that's how you can get 40 days and 40 nights of rain, okay? And people say, well, if that happened, wouldn't it leave a mark on the earth?

And the answer is yes. The mid-oceanic ridge, that's that crack that's going through the oceans there. That's the mid-oceanic ridge. That's where the fountains of the great deep broke up. And I'm not sure if you can see that circle on the right, but that's where he thinks that it ended.

And so you run the movie backwards, he thinks it started up by Alaska. And then it just went all the way around. Then when it came together on itself, it stopped. And the water is just erupting out of there with tremendous force, tremendous pressure, and it just keeps going up.

And so, you know, it's raining for 40 days and 40 nights, and then it gets enough water where it covers the fountain and it can't push it up anymore. But the Bible says it keeps going up for another 110 days.

So that's where the water came from. You know, it came from inside the earth. And we'll talk about where it goes, where it went. But now keep in mind, now we got two 60-mile cliffs. And on earth, you can only have a cliff five miles high before it crushes the rock below and it crumbles.

So now we got two 60-mile cliffs and they're crumbling, that granite's crumbling into that flow. And so that's where a lot of the sedimentary rock came from, was from the granite that got eroded away from the Atlantic Ocean and the basalt underneath.

That's why the ratio is 65 to 35. Okay? And that's how you get these layers here all over the continent. But what sorts them? How come they're so pure? And the megasequence, I submit, liquefaction. That's what Bob Enyart told Tim Clary.

How do you get those layers? Liquefaction. You know, you got these big waves going around the earth that pushes a lot of pressure down into the sand. And then when they go by, that pressure's released and it just keeps going back and forth and back and forth.

And that can sort things by their density. And this is a flume, a liquefaction at a flutter place. So that can do it. And so now you got all this stuff crumbling into that flow. These two cliffs are getting wider and wider apart.

And pretty soon there's nothing pushing down on that mantle. And so the mantle bulges. That's how you get the mid-oceanic ridge. It bulges, stretching it in two directions. And so now it's like lifting up a train track.

The train's going to start rolling. So that's what happened. The continent starts sliding, and so there's even less weight on the mantle. So it bulges even more, and there's less, and it bulges even more.

So you got North America and South America going to the west, and Africa and Europe going to the east, and they keep going until they meet resistance. And that's why their missing crust is in the mid-Atlantic.

It either eroded away or it slid away, and that's startling, they say. And that's why they keep going until they meet resistance, and then they buckle up. Like if a rug going into a wall or something's going to buckle or a car accident, the hood buckles.

That's what happened to the plates. They buckled, and that's why the mountains are mainly parallel to the mid-oceanic ridges. And this over here, the Andes are half as big as the Rockies, and I think that's because the plate slid over the mid-oceanic ridge.

And when it slid together, there's a lot of force, there's a lot of heat, there's a lot of pressure, and that's where we get our coal and our oil and our metamorphic rocks like marble and diamond. And those things still have carbon -14 in them, so they're not millions of years old.

They find carbon -14 in everything that they shouldn't find it in based on that evolutionary theory. And this is, I think, in British Columbia. These are mountains that had to be soft, pliable mud when it was pushed together because there's no cracks there.

They got pushed together. And you can do an experiment at home. Take your finest china and bend it. See what happens. See if it'll crack or see if it'll bend. And these are compression cracks. We had talked about tension cracks, which are straight.

These are compression. This is Gunnison Canyon in Colorado. They got crushed together, and as the rock's crushing, the quartz in it melts and fills up those little lines, and that's really hard to do.

And you get the same type of rock, these quartz-filled cracks in crystalline rock, the same things at the inner gorge. Something crushed. I mean, a lot of force was used. And so that's how we get the mid-oceanic ridge, stretched in two directions.

Plateaus, Submarine Canyons, and the Grand Canyon

Okay, so now how do we get plateaus? Remember that double-ended mystery? It grows up and down at the same time. What force would rise it? It's hydraulics. The mountains rose up, so you got a big mass on a small base, and it sinks in to the mantle.

Well, if something sinks in, something's got to rise up, and that's where the plateaus came from. What's the force? And it's hydraulics. And it just breaks out the plateau, and then the force is released, and more builds up, so the plateau gets raised piece by piece.

Okay, so it's gravity. All right, and so what's going to happen? There's going to be a lot of pressure there. The granite's going to be melting. It's going to be turning into lava. The lava's going to go up onto some cracks, and you're going to have lava on top of the soft sediment and a big wave.

Water comes flowing by. It's not going to eat into that lava. It's going to go around it. That's how you're going to get something like Red Butte, which is downstream from the Grand Canyon, or it's in that same area.

Okay, so again, similarly, if something's going up, something else has to go in. The mid-oceanic ridge is rising throughout the Earth, so something has to get sucked in, and that's the Pacific Ocean.

That's why you have the ring of fire, all that lava, all that instability. That's why the trenches are in the Pacific Ocean. And this is, if you get a ping-pong ball and you push it together, it's going to be kind of like the Pacific Ocean.

It got sucked in. You got the trenches, Mariana Trench. You got all those volcanoes in the Pacific Ocean. That's why, because it got sucked in, tremendous pressure, tremendous heat, and Walt Brown said you should find some granite in the Pacific Ocean, if his theory is true.

And guess what? They found Zealandia, the eighth continent. And it's about the size of India. It got sucked in there. They find fossils of land animals, and that got sucked in. You would expect that if this theory was true.

And okay, so now this stuff is going up and going up, and at the end of the cliffs, at the end of a nozzle, there's more pressure. So there's going to be more erosion there. And keep in mind, those things are going to be slamming up and down too, which is going to cause more erosion.

That's how you get the gradual continental slope and the continental shelf. That's what happens there. That's how that came about. Okay, and how do you get the submarine canyons? Well, Walt Brown says the continents were higher back then, and the water gushed off to fill up the Pacific Ocean.

So it cut those canyons when the continents were higher. And over time, the continents sunk in, the oceans rose up, and the water table buried those canyons.
