Is volcanism and the earth's surface radioactivity evidence of the Flood? yes or no.

OK, I'm thinking the north pole at the time would have been a seven million square km blanket of solid ice, 2km thick, underneath a seven million square km, 100 km thick blanket of granite (roughly circular, about 3000km diameter).

Maybe.

Its edges would have been assaulted by the rest of the wreckage and devastation from the breaking deep fountains, but toward its center I can't think that much would have changed, not right away, I guess except for all that drenching rain? But wouldn't it have been snow?

At rupture, it would have been all supercritical.

Bottom line, what are you saying? Instead of the north pole, where should we look to see the residual effect the Flood made at the north pole?
Somewhere near the 40th parallel. When the distribution of mass shifted on the surface, the conservation of angular momentum reacted by making the equator the ring with the greatest average mass cross referenced against the distance from the core of all the stuff.

Thus, the Himalayas migrated from where they were formed to near the equator and the poles of the time were replaced with what were subtropical areas, which is why we find mammoths in the ice and fossils of tropical species in the arctic circle.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the folks who taught you the theory of Newtonian gravity forgot to mention it has been replaced by general relativity. Gravity is not a force.

It hasn't been replaced.

Relativity is a correction on the application of naive Newtonian equations in extreme situations.

It's not the best correction, and it requires the unfounded assumption of the constancy of lightspeed.
Not for the last 100 years.

Right now, in fact. Take that thing you're smoking and drop it. Guess what? Inverse square law.

I'm saying the current definition says it's not a force.

Of course it does.

NASA says so.

Quanta says so.

Universetoday says so.

Sciencefocus says so.

Who are you?

Maybe you can prove Einstein wrong and win ya a Nobel Prize.

Maybe you can offer something that isn't as stupid as this trope.

Really?
Looks like double speak to me.
Kinda blows this assertion of yours outta the water either way...
Gravity is the observation that masses are attracted to each other according to an inverse square law.

In general relativity, gravity is not a force between masses. Instead gravity is an effect of the warping of space and time in the presence of mass. Without a force acting upon it, an object will move in a straight line.

Oh, so now you're qualifying your assertion?

Is gravity a force of any kind?

You do realize this means they think that gravity is a force, right?
Yep.
Double speak.
Sorry you fell for it. (pun intended)

No to both questions.
It's their first assertion not mine...

"In general relativity, gravity is not a force between masses. Instead gravity is an effect of the warping of space and time in the presence of mass. Without a force acting upon it, an object will move in a straight line."

It's their first assertion that I believe...

"In general relativity, gravity is not a force between masses. Instead gravity is an effect of the warping of space and time in the presence of mass. Without a force acting upon it, an object will move in a straight line."

None of that says gravity is not a force.
