It's really amazing how the human mind has such organizing power that even a random ink blot, or the random depositions of sediments and dead things by a worldwide Flood, can be perceived as a coherent meaningful story.
Correct. Anyone who thinks that the evidence shows any support for dead things caused by a worldwide flood is simply delusional.
No one has ever been able to explain how any flood could deposit what is actually seen.

how stuff works
Faith writes:
Well I wish somebody would acknowledge the strangeness. It's hard to put into words any better than I have done already, but some honest contemplation of the facts should make it apparent. There is just no way to rationally explain how discreet time periods over the history of the earth got marked by clearcut sediment depositions that start at the beginning of the period and end at the end of it.
What strangeness?
It would be strange for us to find a dinosaur dying in one of today's waterholes.
Is it strange to find the sediment being deposited at the current ocean floor being ocean sediment?
Is it strange to find sand dunes being created over what once was verdant forest?
Is it strange to find mountains being eroded down or land flooded and then built up and river channels getting deeper?
Things that get buried today are those things that are alive today.
Geological layers are made of those things that exist today.
Weathering happens.
Gravity works.
High spots get worn down and the debris fills the low spots.
Low spots sometimes get forced up, even to becoming mountains.
And that is the stake through the heart of the young earth zombie.
We do find evidence of the same geological structures, so similar that they must have once been one, now separated by oceans.
We do find fossils of stuff that once lived in layers where there are NO fossils of stuff that is now living.
We do find structures that show cyclical layering, sometimes millions of cycles.
And there has never been any model, method, process or procedure that can explain what is seen that does not also require long, long, long periods of time.

Re: CRSQ article sought
Any excuse for a trip to Lookout Mountain is a good one.

Re: CRSQ article sought
There used to be a great little breakfast place in Lookout Mountain just a few doors down from the old grocery store that was on the corner. Not sure it's there anymore.

Re: Argonne paper sought
There is one thing still missing from your discussions and that is an indication that the participants really want to learn the truth. Access to that paper is available online for about $35.00. IIWY I would suggest that those who really want to find out if what SDA claims as true really is true then they each chip in $5.00 to get the paper and see for themselves. They need to actually make more than just a token commitment; they need to invest in the truth.
