Mt. Saint Helens now has it's own topic!

So TB, what miraculous process caused the silts and clays to settle out between the flood surges? Which law of physics will be bent to breaking point this time to accommodate a religius belief? I find it amusing how you adopt scientific concepts such as the evidence and explanations for paleocurrents when it suits you and then ignore other scientific evidence and explanations, such as settling rates, when it is inconvenient for your flood story.And after various strata are laid down, what caused the lithification process to proceed at an enormously fast rate which is not seen today? Were they baked dry and hard by the accelerated radioactive decay?If Mt St Helens is such powerful evidence for fast, catastrophic processes producing stratafication, which strata in the standard geological column are explained by this process?

Maybe they were baked dry and hard by the accelerated radioactive decay? You're almost a creationist wj! See how easy it is? Seriously I have not studied the details of this problem.

Yes, very easy. Latch onto some known fact or process and bring it into play when convenient. Ignore the other consequences or that no such event was mentioned in the bible, the creationists' primary source of evidence. You'd think that the heat from the deposited silt being baked to siltstone might have rated a mention in the genesis story.

It appears that akakscase has revealed the fraud by evolutionists and trench diggers. Obviously, if the Colorado River can gouge out its deep, narrow canyon whilst the surrounding sediments are solidifying then the sme process can be don on a smaller scale. so, why do these trench diggers want to shore up the sides of trenches to preent cave-ins? The ground is usually drier and more stable than post-flood sediments. They excavate at a slower rate than the receding Noachian flood waters. All the physics show that modern trench digging would be less prone to collapse of side walls than the post-flood Grand Canyon formation. so obviously the trench diggers are being fraudulent, must be to con more money out of the deluded customer.Well done akakscase. Why don't you go and expose those fraudulent trench diggers? Do the job yourself, a 6 foot deep trench should be sufficient, and show that it won't cave in. Report back on how things went.

Don't go dragging my into your argument Mark. Anyone with a Masters in geology and using Hovind as a source is obviously too well informed to be persuaded by evidence such as Morton's 26 locations having the complete, intact geologic column.
