Topic drift alert!
The theme of the topic is how a single flood event both deposited the geologic column at the Grand Canyon location and also cut the canyon.
I think that angular unconformity considerations a pretty marginal to the topic. I think it best that material go to the Young earth explanations for Angular Unconformities topic.
I am also concerned about having indirect input from Faith, when she is not herself permitted to post at .

It really helps moderators figure out if a topic is disintegrating because of general misbehavior versus someone in particular if the originally non-misbehaving members kept it that way. When everyone is prickly and argumentative and off-topic and personal then it's just too difficult to tell. We have neither infinite time to untie the Gordian knot, nor the wisdom of Solomon.
There used to be a comedian who presented his ideas for a better world, and one of them was to arm everyone on the highway with little rubber dart guns. Every time you see a driver doing something stupid, you fire a little dart at his car. When a state trooper sees someone driving down the highway with a bunch of darts all over his car he pulls him over for being an idiot.
Please make it easy to tell you apart from the idiots. Source

What is always ignored is the simple fact that the bottom layer is often metamorphosed. The A/U at the bottom of Grand Canyon is high grade metamorphic rock - requiring high temperature/pressure/time. The temperature of that massive formation would have to be several hundred degrees!.
I think the above is on rather shaky ground, ranging from "kinda right", to "sorta right but actually wrong", to what strikes me as a "wild ass guess" (WAG) unsupported assertion. I encourage you to be more careful. Mostly I encourage you to bring the above to the "Angular Unconformity" topic.

Go lower. Way lower. Try the asthenosphere.
I also think that Kuresu is also getting pretty sloppy here. But that material also belongs in a topic elsewhere.
Bottom line - People, if you are going to be representing the evolution/science side, please beware of "blowing smoke" over accurate and real substance.
Or something like that.

Ichthus restricted to "Practice Makes Perfect" forum - Restrictions lifted
You have done 3 duplicates in a row in (at least) 2 topics. See here for the other topic's example.
Go here and pick a topic or start your own. Do something to learn how NOT to post duplicate messages.
Post an "attention admins" message at that topic, when you have it figured out.

ABE - Note: As of 12:15 2/1/08 forum time, I've lifted all restrictions - Ichthus has full normal permissions. - Hope I got his/her attention and that the problem does not reoccur.
Edited by Adminnemooseus, : See above.
