It is a very common reaction. When asked questions that can not be answerered the creationist "agrees to disagree" and leaves. Will there ever be an answer?
​
The "which are flood deposits" question is just one of those that seems to be unanswerable and produces this reaction. I think we had a questions topic for these kind of questions.
​
Bye, oh-so-appropriately-named-poster.

Maybe the movement to include creationism in science classrooms will learn the same lesson? Maybe they think that in a classroom no one will ask in depth questions like we do here at EvC, or in peer review for that matter.
​
Creation DOES need to be taught with evolution
​
We have discussed that. I would like to see creationism in the classroom. And you are right, they would probably get up and walk out when these questions came up. Wouldn't that be amusing!

Well, it seems to me, a non geologists that they are at least an attempt to give some connection between stratigraphy and the flood. However, even I can see that they are very far from "very detailed". They still don't actually point to the strata that are flood and not just the approximate time frame.
​
I'll wait for Joe to comment on them further.

I'll let Joe handle the geology. And I would like to see more details from him too.
​
Meanwhile, it appears that Northrup has at least agreed that the Bible is not to be taken literally and is not inerrant. He may offer all sort of verses but I can read too. There was, according to him, no such thing as the Biblical Noahacian flood.
​
There was something else not described in the Bible. You're ok with that?

Re: Science Homework
That's not as detailed as your usual, Bill. Can you pick out a couple of the most spectacular failures?
