You can't discuss geologic time frames without geological issues being the centerpiece.
The change in title was only a minor clarification, since geological strata both deposit
*and* erode. All Moose did was change "Deposition of Strata" to "Deposition and Erosion of Sediments". The deleted "Objections to" portion was mere window dressing, since it is assumed you object. I don't see the change of title as modifying the thread's focus.
When you think it's okay to discuss Christianity without the Bible being the centerpiece then let me know and I'll reexamine my opinion that you can't discuss geologic time frames without geology being the centerpiece.
What you're actually struggling against is your unwillingness to confront the fact that one can't debate issues one is uninformed about. You want your naive ideas given as much consideration and respect as those of people who have studied for years. As long as you continue to hold such unreasonable expectations you will continue to struggle here.
By the way, it's also okay, at least in my opinion, to learn while you debate, as long as you understand that your preconceptions may turn out to be wrong. Persistent insistance that your preconceptions are right when there's an absence of supporting evidence and the presence of contradictory evidence is looked on as being unconstructive by the moderators. That doesn't mean you're wrong. It just means you can't keep arguing if you can't support your point of view with evidence and/or reasoned argumentation. Arguing just to argue doesn't play well here. Find what you need to support your views, then post. Reversing the order will only bring you grief.
