My geology is a little poor, I see this as opportunity. I would be happy if someone would take 'baby steps' with me through some of the finer points of this topic.
To kick start that off a few thoughts and questions. Faith raises an interesting criticism/observation that I thought was very good in that it made me think. When we look into the fossils we find marine fossils in areas that are now very much not marine landscapes. Faith sees this as a confirmation of the Flood hypothesis.
What Faith's idea assumes is that the landscapes we see now are the same as they have always been (give or take tectonic shifting and general erosion etc). That is to say that if we find marine fossils in a desert then instead of the area once being under sea, it is evidence of a flood being there.
So the question is, other than the fossils is there any evidence in the sedimentation type to suggest that the area was marine? Can we tell anything else about the marine environment from the sediment, such as salinity of the water? Is there some way to determine (aside from techniques like radiodating) how long the area was underwater? Finally, rox mentioned that 80% of the column is carbonate, which is problematic for flood theories since deposition is universally gradual. Are there any recommended sites out there that discuss this carbonate deposition rate and how it works?
Probably too many questions there, and I could google some of them, but I thought informed answers in this thread might be useful for the community, hence why I'm posting. Once I get a bit more information, I'll be googling away to learn more, so that perhaps I might develop more questions and better understanding of this subject.
