So how did the GC get laid down from a mainstream POV? Deterministic models?

This is not a sideline to the purpose of this BBS and neither should it be tucked away in discussions on 'rapid generation of layers in the creationist model'.

​

I want to know about YOUR model. I have done a lot of reading and I can't find out about this aspect specifically.

Did it ever occur to you that perhaps, just maybe, six months of casual self-study (of mainly Creationist sources, I'll wager) of a subject might not be enough for you to be able to judge if an entire field "understands" something as large and broad as the GC??Perhaps it is you who doesn't understand.I will refer you to my signature quote:------------------
"We will still have perfect freedom to hold contrary views of our own, but to simply
close our minds to the knowledge painstakingly accumulated by hundreds of thousands
of scientists over long centuries is to deliberately decide to be ignorant and narrow-
minded."-Steve Allen, from "Dumbth"

Wehappyfew, I don't know enough about it but I'll summarize the stuff from the RATE book tommorow for you. In the recent work they talk about helium in granites and have experimentally measured the diffusion rates. I can't deny your zircon stuff but it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the granite work unless I'm mistaken.

​

For the others (not you wehappy) this thread is about mainstream qualitative and deterministic mechanisms for generating the geological column strata. Any takers? Any summaries? Any books/reviews on this subject? Joe M suggested a few including geology of various US regions but I sort of mean on the world wide scale?

You seem to be looking up in the air and whisling right now, TB.Aren't you completely appalled by the deplorable 'scholarship' of that Creationist article??
