Re: The Flood Explains ... most things geological
ICANT I don't care about who thought what when. What I argue here is my own understanding of what the Flood would have done based on my own observations.; I don't care who came up with what theory.

Re: Six "Flood" Arguments Creationists Can't Answer
Here is a response to Chadwick's PRECAMBRIAN POLLEN IN THE GRAND CANYON A REEXAMINATION. Fossil pollen in Grand Canyon overturns plant evolution - creation.com.
Conclusion
The weight of evidence favours the conclusion that fossil pollen is contained in ‘Precambrian’ shale. This is contrary to expectations based on the accepted geological column.
More Precambrian Pollen
Fossils of spores and pollen have been found in the Precambrian Roraima formation, as reported in a 1966 article in the prestigious journal Nature. That means they are at least 1,300 million, or 1.3 billion years ‘out of date’. Pollen paradox - creation.com

CRR - I'm not reading anything from a creation 'science' source. Can you point to properly published source?

Re: Six "Flood" Arguments Creationists Can't Answer
CRR - my mind is entirely open, but it's been educated too. Your links are to a discredited organisation that publishes an unreviewed pile of garbage on a website.
This is a science forum, if there's useful information to be discussed it needs to come from a credible scientific source.
It's also a forum rule that we discuss stuff here in our own words referring to proper references when we have to.
Why not have a go at that?
I refer you to the rest of my tag

Conclusion
The weight of evidence favours the conclusion that fossil pollen is contained in ‘Precambrian’ shale. This is contrary to expectations based on the accepted geological column.
Only if you ignore the facts that the pollen grains are found on fractures in the rock and do not exhibit darkening of color with age as is normal for older pollen. They also show no compression that should happen with burial under miles (as averred by Faith) of sediments.
More Precambrian Pollen
Fossils of spores and pollen have been found in the Precambrian Roraima formation, as reported in a 1966 article in the prestigious journal Nature. That means they are at least 1,300 million, or 1.3 billion years ‘out of date’. Pollen paradox - creation.com
The first thing I noticed about this occurrence is that nothing has been published since the 1960's when it was first announced.
Again, there is no flattening of the pollen grains as would be expected of such a strongly metamorphosed rock and it is thought that pollen grains would not even survive such a high temperature metamorphism.
Once again, one researcher mentions that ultrasonic cleaning of a sample removed the pollen from the rock suggesting that the grains were confined to fractures in the rock.
All the data suggest contamination by percolating meteoric water carrying pollen into a groundwater system.
Here is a kind of technical article on the subject:

Is Davidjay lying or will he finally answer?
In Message 5 Davidjay claims:
quote:
I always engage in discussions and always prove my points. But evolutionists want me to agree with their false science and false givens.
...
In an open debate, BOTH sides are required to answer questions...
This is good to know, because then Davidjay will obviously answer the question I have been prodding him with for a month or so. As posted in Message 3 of this thread (and in a previous thread):
Coyote writes:
My own archaeological research disproves the global flood ca. 4500 years ago. Research by my colleagues disproves it thousands of times over.
In my research I have continuity of human cultures from before to after the date of the flood, and most importantly I have mitochondrial DNA of the same type extending from before to after that date. If there was such a flood, the earlier mtDNA haplotype would be eliminated, to be replaced by a type from the Middle East.
A few other little details: there is no evidence of the erosional or depositional features that would necessarily associate with such a flood in the area I study.
But if you truly want to see the features left by flood erosion, google "channeled scablands" and look at the images. Some notable examples are from central and eastern Washington:
The nice thing about the flood evidence in Washington is that we can date the events and we know the cause! They occurred between 18,000 and 13,000 years ago, and resulted from formation and breakage of ice dams upstream.
Oh, and this evidence is about three or four times older than the purported global flood. How is it that we see the evidence of those older floods but not evidence of a much larger and much more recent flood?
(Answer: it didn't happen.)
So, don't be claiming that the flood is TRVE history. It is a belief, not a fact.

I always answer, 'Just ask Jesus'
And do see my new signature for further information against evolution and evolutionaries and their fear and flight modus operandi....

Evolutyionists are used to forcing their theory on students and scientists. They are not used to answering any questions on this theory, because it is their religion. And as a religion it must be accepted by faith.... It is not science and it is not logical or rational and has no facts behind it. Evolution is a con and a LIE. A big one, but because it is forced on the gullible and on students, they must accept it. This their modus operandi...and so when faced with sane biological opposition, they can only be subjective rather than objective.

Re: I always answer, 'Just ask Jesus'
Word salad doesn't answer my very specific questions.
You have been ducking, dodging, and weaving to avoid answering these questions for a month.
Face it, you have no answers to these questions, and can't counter the evidence--and that's clear to everyone.

Re: I always answer, 'Just ask Jesus'
Not kidding edge, evolutionists force evolution on students and will try and flunk them if they dont adhere to the doctrine of luck and chance. In UNiversity, they do not allow questions to be asked about evolution and its unproven science, as it is deemed a GIVEN.
No one as HEREIN as well is allowed to bring up topics that disagree with evolution. Evolutionists get very upset about answering queries and just say questioners dont understand, rather than evolutionists trying to explain their unproven theories logically. They can;t and so get rather upset.... and subjective.
Just believe say the evolutionists, look at all of us that just believe... believe believe.. shake those dice... and believe

Re: Six "Flood" Arguments Creationists Can't Answer
Fossils have turned up in the wrong place many times and this continues today. This leads to the range of fossils often being extended. Vertebrates have been confirmed in the early Cambrian. Pollen fossils have been found in Precambrian strata although it was claimed that flowering plants don't occur in the fossil record until early in the Cretaceous era. Grass was not supposed to have evolved until millions of years after the end of the dinosaurs but traces of grass have been found in fossilized dinosaur coprolites (dung). Ducks, squirrels, platypus, beaver-like and badger-like creatures have all been found in ‘dinosaur-era’ rock layers along with bees, cockroaches, frogs and pine trees. Picture T. Rex stomping along with a duck flying overhead. Perhaps that Precambrian rabbit will soon appear.
You're not providing any citations, I notice. I also notice that you have no idea what would constitute the "wrong" place for a fossil.
Finally, I note that none of this answers the point that you cannot explain the order in the fossil record.
Similarly there are many living fossils, animals and plants that were thought to have gone extinct millions of years ago. Coelacanth, Wollemi Pine, a rodent called Laonastes aenigmamus , and a sponge called Nucha vancouverensis are examples.
What of it? If this was a point against evolution, which it isn't, it still wouldn't answer the point that you cannot explain the order in the fossil record.
There are several mechanisms that separately and together could provide a Creationist explanation for the sequence in the fossil record.
No they couldn't. Separately and together, these excuses do not provide an explanation. This has been tried and failed.
See here.
EvC Forum: The Great Creationist Fossil Failure
Why don't we find mammals underneath Trilobite bearing layers? Because Trilobites lived on the bottom of the ocean and very few mammals lived underneath them.
But we do find marine organisms above terrestrial organisms. Just not trilobites above mammals.
We can also ask how well the fossil record supports the [neo-]Darwinian evolutionary model. Darwin said that according to his theory there should be many finely graded intermediate types but admitted that these did not appear in the fossil record. Darwin hoped that future discoveries would fill in the gaps. Over 100 years later Gould admitted the lack of transitional forms was the trade secret of paleontology, and he and Eldridge came up with Punctuated Equilibrium to explain this. This theory has not been a success. Transitional fossils are still missing.
But this is stupid shit that creationists have made up because their drivel can only be supported by telling dumb lies. And if it wasn't a bunch of dumb dirty lies, which it is, it still wouldn't answer the point that you cannot explain the order in the fossil record.
