N14: Runaway subduction
Edited by Greg Neyman
Argument:
John Baumgardner developed a computer model that shows how runaway subduction of tectonic plates could have been responsible for the global flood
Source: John Baumgardner, Runaway Subduction as the Driving Mechanism for the Genesis Flood (http://www.globalflood.org/papers/iccsubduction94.html)
Response:
