Long build up of Sediments

In the "Global Flood Evidence: A Place for Faith to present some", frequently was brought up the topic of how the long build up of sendiment is "absurd".Missed was post 262 by Jazzns. This post reads:

Not all layers are built up in tiny increments over millions of years. It can't be said much simpler then that. All over all of these threads you keep saying this like it is actually something that geologists believe. The more you keep saying this the more you reenforce that you do not understand sedimentation.

​

There are places in the world where sediment does build up very slowly. These places are always extrodinarily calm such as deep lake or ocean. Other places bulid sediment comparitivly quickly. River deltas, deserts, basins, etc. Mudflows can drop dozens of feet worth of sediment in a matter of minutes which bury trees, houses, critters, etc.

​

The modern geologic principles that you keep calling absurd are actually only fantasies of your own ignorance. Of course if everywhere sediment only accumulated at millimeters a year there might be a problem for fossilization and/or weathering. But that scenario is only true in the world that exists in your own head.

The impression was that this (the buildup of sendiments) was the only issue Faith wanted to discuss, yet she did not reply to this post. I would like to give her, and everybody else the oppurtunity to reply as the other thread is closed.Thank you This message has been edited by Alasdair, Mar-10-2006 01:25 PM
