Thats why Faith's beginning posts on previous threads considering sedimentation were disingenuous... she tried to argue evidence and then denied its importance by 1)a foregone theological conclusion, and 2) the supposed invalid nature of historical evidence that wasn't written down.
This form of argument can be very appealing. For any subject that is historical or open to interpretation you can say I don't know and you CAN'T know. And the beauty is that one doesn't have to know anything of the subject at hand.
Investigation in historical science will go on despite the objections of Faith et al. That Faith is denying the validity of historical investigation is a bid to short circuit the argument to ultimate belief in revealed word and enough scientists to keep us full of cars and TV's and nothing more.
And like birds seeking the highest dinosaur in a flood, it seems the last bastion for Faith in her GD with Jazzns. Facts about rocks are not her friends so she seeks to invalidate the facts themselves.
Perhaps here we can begin with Faith's education in the philosophy of science and use of the scientific method. Here or in the GD, the argument seems headed this way and away from geology.
