Secondly, I respect your resourceful application of the geologic column, however, I would like to note that it is commonly believed by Creationists, like myself, that the geologic column is entirely speculation. Allow me to brief;
Charles Lyell's book (wrote in 1833, before Darwin's "The origin of species by means of natural selection or the preservation of favoured races in the struggle for life") "principles of geology", where the geologic column originated, elaborates on the geologic column being layers in the earth that hold testament to Evolutionary science. He claims The layers of earth were formed by millions of years of Climate change, erosion, erratic weather patterns, etc. He had no way of knowing that!
He construed layers in the earth, which can form rather quickly (it's true, consider a lake, or something where erosion or water is involved, heavier rocks and solid earth goes to the bottom, dirt and lighter soils to the top, eh?) with Evolutionary/Atheistic standpoint of 'old earth' philosophy.
As well, the bones and fossils he found during his high budget excavations were in obvious assortments and duly categorized. Meaning, he found the bones in common groups and obviously in different layers. Showing, of course, different time zones, but assumed the number of years.
His belief that the earth is millions of years old and presumption of Evolution, combined with natural forming layers in the earth and random assortment of bones and fossils in the earth created the geologic column. Note: Charles lyell is not identified as the contingency for physical science. I discredit his work for my health.
I am not quite sure that your personal denial of all accumulated knowledge of all geosciences throughout history is on topic. However if you would like to start a new topic concerning your apparent claim to know more about the physical properties of the earth than all other humans, past or present, I'm sure it can be accommodated.
Generally I wait for a few weeks until after all the pros have taken most the meat away. I like to dine on the marrow.
