No, it's your straw man, not my view.

You do realise that your position is even more hopeless without changes to physical law ? Which negates your "straw man" accusation.

And angular unconformities are the ONLY supposed evidence for deposition following tectonic disturbance ...
Not really. The are, however, the most notable and spectacular. Other indicators would be overthrust faults, growth faults, molasse deposits, foreland basins, intermontane basins, alluvial fans, etc., etc. How many do you want?
... and they are usually pretty pathetic looking broken horizontal pieces perched on top of some buckled strata.
What do you mean by "broken horizontal pieces"? And why is that pathetic?
Which indicates that whatever caused the tectonic disturbance knocked off all the strata above the pathetic piece.
Well, yes, erosion 'knocked off" some of the exposed parts of the folded rocks. The only 'pathetic piece' around here seems to be your argument against the geological record of the planet.

Couldn't be that you have the wrong idea about how the laws of physics work in such a situation. That is utter nonsense. The thing about laws is that they're not situational. He's right: You're proposing breaking the laws of physics in order to maintain the possibility of your conception.

Faith writes: Couldn't be that you have the wrong idea about how the laws of physics work in such a situation. Of course it could and so thinking people looked for the evidence that the laws of physics might have worked differently in the past. But of course, all of the evidence showed that the laws of physics have been working just as they do today and for billions of years. They looked at the starts to see if they found evidence of the laws of physics behaving differently in the past. But what they found was that over the whole period of billions of years the laws remained the same. They looked at geology to see if the laws had been different in the past. But of course, they found that the processes over the last few billion years here on Earth have remained the same. The looked at the Oklo Reactor to see if the laws had been different in the past. But of course, they found that the processes over the last few billion years here on Earth have remained the same. They looked at biology and genetics, at fossils and societies, at cities and pottery and agriculture and technology and, of course, they found that the laws of physics and genetics and geology and archeology and paleontology and biology haven't really changed over the past. Yes Faith, we could have had the wrong idea so we checked. And we found out we did not have the wrong idea. It really is that simple.

No, I'm saying that since nobody witnessed the Flood there's no way to know whether it's possible by the laws of physics or not. All we've got is speculation as usual.

It doesn't matter if anybody witnessed the Flood or not, the laws of physics are the laws of physics. They are not situational. Your conception of how the Flood occurred violates the laws of physics.

Don't be an idiot. The Flood was a unique one-time event and all the arguments here are about whether this or that scenario about how it could have happened are possible or not. By the laws of physics. You certainly don't know and your opinions on this subject have been consistently ignorant.

Faith, radiometric dating methods are firmly based on the laws of physics as we know them. Likewise the dismissal of hydraulic sorting as an explanation for the order in the fossil record. If you don't want to argue for changes to the laws of physics you are not just arguing against historical science you are arguing against all the relevant science.
As I pointed out, arguing for changes in the laws of physics - desparate as it is - is actually your least bad option for "things were different".

Strata and Fossils. Flood explains them, Time Scale can't possibly.

quote: In reality mainstream geology explains them, Flood geology utterly fails. As we have seen you have to suppress large amounts of evidence, make false claims and use silly straw men to make your case. As I have pointed out before, the order of the fossil record is a large-scale global feature of that record. If you can't explain that - and you can't - you do NOT have a viable explanation for fossils. Mainstream geology does (especially if we throw in evolution which makes much more sense of it) That is why geology and evolution are science and Flood geology is just religious apologetics.

Repeating an obvious falsehood won't make it any less laughable.
If you can't address my points you would be better off admitting that you are wrong.

The Strata and Fossils are so obviously the best explanation for the Flood, and the Time Scale so obviously impossible, as I've argued many times already, I don't see any point in getting lost in distracting rabbit trails.

It is very clear that your argument is based on a superficial and highly selective view of the evidence, backed up by falsehoods and straw men.
Accordingly your claim is not only false - it is so obviously false that even you ought to know it.
