A tabletop model of sand formation.
Jar asks:
So what is a Flood model for making sand?
The reason we creationists have not presented a model to describe the process in which the Great Flood created much of the sand now seen in the world is because we felt it was just too obvious to any thoughtful observer to need mentioning. We forgot that you Darwinazis are so self-absorbed in your pontifical excrescence and dogma that you would overlook the obvious. The model for the formation of sand can be seen at any mining site. At these sites you will see huge tumblers that are loaded with several tons of large ore rocks and boulders and mixed with large quantities of water, yes, lots of water and then tumbled for several hours, reducing those hunks of rock and boulder to a fine sand like grit. You can find small versions of this device at any rock or lapidary shop. Now, take a million of those giant tumblers and scale them up by a factor of a few billion and you have the churning and tumbling action of the Great Flood that created a lot of the sand as well as the Grand Canyon and many other geological features. It always amazes us creationists that you Darwinitwits would think that a process that could carve the greatness and grandeur of the Grand Canyon would have any problem grinding some rocks into sand, grit, or powder. Also, if you were to throw a sack of seashells into one of those tumblers you would find that they are also ground into fine grit, ideal for a nice white beach.

A Flood are capable of making sand but not the prodigious quantities that exist today.
But of course, not all the sand was made by the flood. Remember that the flood occurred 1500 years after the fall of Adam, 1500 years of erosion inflicted upon the earth for Adam's sin. The Mazzola flood(s) might look like it(they) covered a wide area to us mere humans, but it (they) were miniscule compared to an earth covering flood of biblical proportions. Have you ever examined a glacial moraine? You will find large volumes of fine sand and powder, so you are just helping prove my assertion.

Jar is up to his usual tricks again.

Is that correct?
Yep. That is god's own truth.
Here is a pile of boulders that has been pounded by water, not just for 40 days and nights, not just for hundreds of days and nights, but many thousands of days and nights.
But of course, the great volumes of sand have been washed (by swirling water again) down the river and ultimately into the lakes and seas where some of it adds to the beaches you are so curious about. Check the geological history of this site. You will find that the falls were much further downstream from their current location. Where is all the land mass that used to occupy the canyon the river formed? Here's an actual experiment you can try, science boy. Shoot a stream of water from a garden hose at a large boulder. It won't budge. Now shoot that stream at a pile of sand. You will quickly wash that sand away. The only way the river in you picture could wash the eroded land mass away is to first break it down into fine particles. Your example just serves to prove my point. Thank you.
I notice that you also use the standard Darwinazi trick of showing a photo with resolution too low to detect the sand being formed by this process. Strange, given that your OP was concerned with sand formation, not boulders. Who's hiding their heads in the sand now?

Re: A tabletop model of sand formation.
It's a matter of scale. The flood accellerted the ensandification process a trillion fold.

Re: A tabletop model of sand formation.
This is an oppurtunity for experimentation. Does the production rate depend on the amount of water or the time? Can you make more sand faster with more water?
We should all join together and collaborate on a proposal to NSF for a program to create global floods of various intensities and durations to quantify the model. This is what people mean by BIG SCIENCE. A secondary benefit is that this should help cool down the planet somewhat. Its impact on global population will be left a future study.

Re: A tabletop model of sand formation.
I'm sorry but that is a nonsense statement.
Hey! I'm a creationist. I get a pass on nonsense statements. Just feel lucky I didn't put it in 24 point type and rainbow colored letters. But since you have given up trying to support your assertions and are just resorting to ad harmonium diatribes I won't lower myself to addressing any further posts of yours. You asked for a model. I gave you a model. Mission accomplished.

Re: Jar is up to his usual tricks again.
So is the model you are proposing:
"Conventional sand creation as found in the current models interrupted by a 40 day rainfall followed by an approximately one year recessional event and then followed by additional sand creation by the conventional methods?"
Unable to deal with my clearly stated model for global flood sand creation, you are now resorting to a straw-man argument and trying to put words in my mouth (keyboard). I never mentioned a one year recession. Supply side economics will protect us from a recession of any length. But you are dragging us off topic.
Sorry, but its time to feed the sheep. I'll check back a little later and see if you people have actually taken the trouble to read my posts and have come to your senses.
