The reality is that there are indications that "mountains" did not exist prior to the FLOOD. The Bible calls them high hills, though some translations read mountains. It is likely that the mountains seen today were memorial monuments to Noah and his family of the severity of the FLOOD.... The research simply is not there yet. And those who could do such are far too interesed in EVOLUTION.

1. There was no flood, sorry. Unless your youtube account name is venomfangX, go to the Grand Canyon and tell me how does water carve through hrad rock in 40 days.
2. All mountains grow and ebb. Erosion & volcanic activity, look it up.
3. Provided that the Earth was flat-ish prior to a global flood, the only forces that determine water currents would be the sun, moon, and other preexisting high-altitude wind currents. Meaning that silt would settle in a somewhat predictable manner. The earth's surface is not indicative of that. Don't you think that a global flood would've caused an Earth with a more consistent surface?
4. One argument I always use: Where the fuck did all the water go?
The dirty little nipper...
Mountains were formed by the flood?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Still highly entertaining, nipple.
And you're too occupied in misinterpreting the Bible or any known discipline in science to make sense. By the way, how did they crash with a mountain, when the Flood was over, if they didn't exist?. Did God provide them with a Dictionary for Future events or what?
Flight attendants existed back when we called them stewardesses. It's not like when the PC term changed, all the stewardesses vanished and flight attendants appeared in their place. Same job, same folks, different name.
Just because the Bible uses a different term than we do, you think multi-megaton geological features must have been absent, and appeared since, without any record of ridiculously massive earthquakes?

The same place it inexplicably appeared from - duh!
[/sarcasm, in case anyone can't tell]
Strictly speeching, there actually WAS a sort of flood a long, long time ago, as the entire earth was once covered in water. However, it would hardly be called a flood, as there hadn't really been any LAND around before, unless you count volcanic ash as land.
Admittedly, this man, or precocious infant really, has actually created a distinct metaphor for Christianity overall. If you act as "Noah," the supposedly good-natured person amidst a "sea" of evil, then "mountains" of virtue shall be your reward, etc.
But, really, this sounds more like an ignorant rant rather than a sermon, and when he goes on to attack evolution, he has ruined any affect of metaphor or spirituality. This man is not being effectively assertive in his argument.
Either that or he's high as shit right now.
The reality is that you have no fucking idea what you're talking about.
Lay off the magic mushrooms, dude.
Top Ten Signs You're a Fundamentalist Christian
9 - You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.
5 - You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes in the scientifically established age of Earth (few billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is a few generations old.
3 - While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor speaking in "tongues" may be all the evidence you need to "prove" Christianity.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
