Re: Leonardo inadvertently proves the Flood
That's such nonsense. Sediments as we see them in the geological column, such as in the GC, covering such huge areas to such huge depths, are not being deposited around the world.
About 70% of the Earth is currently experiencing that very type of deposition. Have you heard of the oceans?

The explanation is that they aren't.
Your denial carries no weight because you already stated that you have to believe that these strata are not separated by millions of years, and you have to believe this no matter what.
Obviously there is something wrong with your dating systems.
I didn't say anything about dates. I said that they should all have the same 14C content. I am simply speaking about the ratio of 14C to 12C found in organic material in these sediments. Again, no dates.
If you went around right now and measured the 14C/12C content of terrestrial organisms, be they trees or humans, you would find that they all have nearly the same 14C/12C content. That is because terrestrial organisms are in equilibrium with the 14C/12C ratio found in the atmosphere. Plants fix carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into their tissues, herbivores eat those plants and take on that carbon, and then carnivores eat those herbivores and take on their carbon.
Therefore, if all this organic material was buried at the same time then it should all have the same 14C/12C content. It doesn't. Therefore, they could not have been buried at the same time.
Why? There are also sandstone layers that are hundreds of feet thick. All the layers were obviously deposited by the same means. Just look at them. Oh I know it's hopeless.
Chalk layers are made up of tiny, tiny microorganisms called coccolithophores:
It takes long time periods for them to grow and settle to the bottom of the ocean. You also need calm water for long time periods for them to settle to the bottom. A flood can't produce hundreds of feet of microorganisms in a short time span.
Of course, you will just ignore this evidence because you have to, and you have admitted as much.

Re: No geo column in the oceans
Faith writes:
Nobody ever shows the strata at the bottom of the oceans of course though it keeps being pushed as the ongoing site of the same kind of sedimentation as the geological column. Of course it's not and couldn't possibly be. Flat layers of sediments, extensive without encountering obstacles, no, not possible. Compare to walls of Grand Canyon. The geological column is over and done with, a product of the Flood.
I see a lot of claims, but zero evidence to back them up.
