Re: Events seen round the world --- change leaves evidence

OF course I don't know how the fossils were sorted and it's ridiciulous to expect that of a Floodist. The model doesn't have to account for how the creatures were sorted since one wouldn't expect a Flood to have a sorting method.
On the contrary, it is your objection that is ridiculous. The purpose of the model is to account for the evidence. If it cannot account for such a major piece of evidence then the model is hopelessly deficient and should be rejected.
from a rational standpoint you are admitting that the order of the fossil record disproves the Flood. Which is the position you are meant to be arguing against.

Re: Events seen round the world --- change leaves evidence

Gpsh it's amazing how many billions of creatures of all ages did so all at once and got themselves buried in a particular kind of sediment.
It probably sounds amazing because it isn't true.
quote:
Which scenario was of course repeated for all kinds of creatures found in the geologic record.
And we know that's not true. The nautilus were singled out because there was evidence suggesting a mass kill - and that is NOT the case for the majority of fossils. So, no. Most fossils were not the product of mass kills, let alone a single mass kill.
Making up "evidence" will not convince us that your position is true. It may well convince us that your position is a lie.

Re: Austin's Redwall nautiloids
quote:
What isn't true? The billions or what? THIS SITE Says "millions in the canyon alone," but the bed extends well beyond the canyon, into all the surrounding states as I recall, and I remember billions being Austin's estimate. As usual I'll have to go find the book.
To this I would point out that there is evidence that Austin's estimates might be too large, and that the number of fossils certainly need not bet he number caught in a single mass kill event. And, of course, the most you can prove from the nautiloids alone would be a localised event, even if it was a very large one.
quote:
Most fossils" are found buried willy-nilly in their sedimentary beds, as they would have been by the Flood.
Or, more accurately, just as they would be if there were no Flood.

Re: Austin's Redwall nautiloids
quote:
They are all in the same bed which had to have been washed up onto the land since nautiloids don't happen to live on the land, and then covered over quite rapidly by the next sedimentary layer up.
I'm pretty sure that Austin regards the bed as being deposited under water, so there would be no need for anything to be washed up on land.
quote:
Single mass kill certainly looks like the best interpretation of the evidence.
What evidence ? You certainly haven't produced any evidence of a mass kill extending outside the canyon, and I don't believe that the evidence even requires a mass kill within the canyon.
quote:
I dunno. There they are sandwiched in their own sedimentary layer between other sedimentary layers equally horizontal and flat. Looks like whatever put them there also put the other layers there.
Even if that bed extended as far as you think, it still only covers a relatively small part of the Earths surface. Therefore it obviously cannot prove a world-wide even on its own. And your comment simply fails to address that obvious fact.

Re: Austin's Redwall nautiloids
quote:
Of course it was on the "ocean floor," it was during the Flood. Everything was being moved in sediment-laden currents or bands or levels of water that were carried over the land -- and that ended up deposited ON THE LAND.
That's your opinion. But if even Steve Austin disagrees, why should we believe it ?

Re: Austin's Redwall nautiloids
It is NOW, but you insisted that it was land when the nautiloids were deposited - and in an area that has undergone considerable uplift that's not exactly a certainty.

Re: Austin's Redwall nautiloids
And that is just an assumption - and certainly contradicts the idea that it is ocean floor, which is what Austin appears to believe.

Re: Events seen round the world --- change leaves evidence

Yes there are some time periods that are marked by more than one layer, and some of the layers are mixtures but not many
I think you must be taking a simplified view as fact. That is certainly not the impression I get from reading up on the geology of the Grand Canyon.
quote:
the overall fact remains that the geologic column is characterized by discreet separate sediments, each time period marked by its own sediment or sediments, and that is what makes no sense.
It isn't a fact. And if your imaginings make no sense, that is hardly a problem for those who disagree with you.

Re: what must be seen
It is not nit-picking to point out that your claims are false and in fact unfounded.
Simply declaring yourself right - when even you should be able to see that you are wrong - is hardly contributing to discussion. It's just a display of arrogance.

Re: To try to help Faith.
I have carefully read it and he does not seem to suggest that but he does suggest that I and Dr A clarify our objections.
However, I read your comments differently. In fact you seem to be suggesting that the truth is an unimportant detail, and thus everybody should believe your assertions.
If you disagree then you will have to explain why pointing out massive falsehoods should be considered "nit-picking"
