The TRVE history of the Flood...

But the GC Supergroup and the Vishnu (etc,) are not deformed to the same degree nor in the same direction. What's with that? Why is the upper package of rocks not affected? What forces are you balancing? But that is my question. You said that all magmatism is related to a single event. Why is there no connection between the Zoroaster Granite and the basaltic dikes that penetrate above the GC? Well, for one, you could show us your evidence for abrasion at the contact. You have repeatedly avoided this question. Edited by edge, : No reason given.

Exactly the point. If the normal forces (gravity) are so great at the bottom of the Paleozoic sequence, why would there be any detachment from the basement rocks? The key would be some kind of evidence for detachement which Faith refuses to address.

But you have not given us evidence of how the boulder was separated. What structural evidence do you have? Was it sheared off, or did it roll into place during erosion at the unconformity? If the former, there should be evidence to that effect, some kind of a shear plane or fragment trail, or something.You are not being clear. But you have exactly zero evidence that this happened.On the other hand, we have seen evidence that boulders can roll out onto a beach and we know that the Shinumo Island was shedding talus blocks into the Tapeats sea from other locations. What is your evidence that it was tectonically separated?What I'm not getting here is how the boulder could be sheared off of the Shinumo without any evidence and yet the Shinumo 'monadnock' still exists. Shouldn't that tectonic offset also affect the top of the Shinumo outcropping in the canyon?

But if the Supergroup were being faulted (after the entire section was deposited) Where did the rocks go? They were tilted upward to the right in the diagram, so where did the extensions of those strata go? Those faults had to go to the surface at whatever time they occurred, didn't they?

And yet leave no evidence of shearing.Right...Faith, I can't possibly respond to the nonsense in all of these posts, but will just make a few comments. Basically, everything you say is a fantasy. It is a story that you've made up over the years full of ad hoc explanations, wishful thinking and outright denial. It is the kind of thinking that make me glad that I rejected religion a long time ago. No. You have not shown an ounce of evidence. Reasoning, yes, but fallacious reasoning.You have no evidence that the unconformity has experienced shearing. You have no evidence that the igneous rocks below the unconformity are directly related to the ones above. Everything happened 'for some reason', or isn't important, or is just denied by you. Sure, and the Mediterranean Sea is an absurdity. The island of Cyprus is just an absurdity. All we get from you is this mantra of "absurdity!" without any explanation except some vague concept that geological time doesn't exist. We've started there several times and you have no explanation for your reasoning other than you just don't believe it. Lots of people 'see things' that aren't there. See? That's it... That's your argument. Instead of providing evidence, you make complaints. But why? What knowledge are you talking about?What knowledge of the Tapeats do you have? Do you have any idea of how stratigraphy forms? I thought you understood Walther's Law a long time ago, but you really have no concept of time and change. So, I'd say that it's your knowledge that is incomplete. "For some reason", "for some reason" ...Why not just say that God did it for some reason, perhaps to make us crazy. Well, then there should be evidence of this 'cutting through'. Where is it? What forces?What caused the forces? What direction were they oriented? Where were they applied?
Why were they not uniform? If you had 'tons of evidence' you would already know. Okay, well let us know when you find it.

"Somewhere offscreen". Now that's a great explanation.Probably "for some reason", yes? Oh, good. Then maybe you can show us the evidence for this. Well, if it did, there should be evidence, yes?Oh, right! Those paradigm conflicted geologists are too incompetent to see it.Don't confuse your ideas with facts.How about we stick to things that we know happen? Like erosion. Like serial mountain building. Like cross-cutting structures.

Yes, they found chemically bound water. Okay, so how do you extract that water from the deep crust and mantle, bring it to the surface for a year and then where does it go? I believe you are talking about brine here. Pretty toxic stuff. Just imagine if you flooded the earth with that stuff. Exactly. So did God have his separators running? First, water is not a state.And you need to explain to us how you extract that water and channel it to the fountains of the deep. Edited by edge, : No reason given.

Okay, so you say that there was no eruption. Fine.But you want to compare the fountains of the deep to the black smokers springs at the mid-ocean ridges, yes?Well, those are not exactly causing a flood right now, are they? What do you suppose the would look like if they were actually causing a rise in sea level on the scale of your biblical flood?And regardless of the intensity, such fountains should leave some kind of evidence of where they are/were. Where is that and how do they look different from the modern springs?By the way, you do know where the water that 'erupts' from the black smokers comes from, do you not?

So, how are they different? So, what happens to those caverns? Where are they? What is your evidence for such caverns filled with water under great pressure?Do you know where the water comes from at these springs? If they are large, you should be able to show us one. Where is it? Not important. It's a huge amount.But hey, it's your model. Tell us. Well, then, you have a lot of work to do. So, in a day, we wouldn't notice sea level rising over 200 feet? And? Show us a time in the history of the earth when it was a smooth and perfect sphere. Not according to seismic profiles.C'mon, give us something concrete. This is your theory, support it.

That's not saying much.

Yeah, 200 million years ago. I'm sure that the Bible was talking about Pangea.And how could it 'all be in one place'? That doesn't really make sense. So, being 'divided' means plate tectonics?Why was the 'earth' divided and not the land? You may be accidentally correct here, but the evidence says that it has been going on for over a billion years and is likely to continue for a long time yet.

Physical evidence. Then it wasn't land, was it? How was it 'gathered'? But we have evidence for plate tectonics. When it comes to YEC cognition, I consider it to be an accident. On a scale of billions of years, I'll go with that. For the last 300 million years it's been variable, but essentially of the same order of magnitude.

But the 'microevolution' of trilobites still expresses the passage of time, does it not?Are you saying that this microevolution was just another rapid event that occurred within a year? If so, you must be a super-evolutionist, yes?And why does that make the fossil order a fantasy? Can you show us where it was wrong?Why is glossopleura always above olenellus in the stratigraphic record? Wouldn't a flood mix them up with crabs and clams? And what is your understanding based on?Can you tell us how life would survive on a planet where all of the volcanism occurred in, essentially, 2000 years?

I would add that the rising sea-level is a continent-wide process, resulting in a continental-scale set of strata.By the way, this is Walther's Law in effect, something that Faith claims to understand.How about 'seascape'?ETA: Also note that the specimen is not of the same age as the enclosing sediments, but it was deposited at the same time.Edited by edge, : No reason given.

Tiresome, isn't it?Honestly, "evos" have to be some of the most patient people in the world.
