I know that because I know that "flood geology" is a steaming heap.
​
But how do you know it?
​
i know it because the building of cities began after the flood.

Re: Genetics and Pigs

No, not really. Peg's sole point, if it can be dignified with that name, was that the existence of different pigs in different places at the same time somehow invalidates geology.
​
Actually, that was not my point.
​
Coyote said that "Sediment layers are not interrupted at that time over continental areas by a discontinuity."
​
I questioned using the sediment layers as a marker because as is seen in the layers of sediment from the Omo and Lake Rudolf areas, they are not always consistent with each other. In the example i gave, the pigs are in the same sediment layer, are dated to the same time but are a different types of pig.
​
I was not calling into question geology as a whole....even though the geologic column IS a hypothetical structure.
​
But to Pandion, as usual my clumsy remarks have caused a ruckus and i apologize for that.

Re: hypothesis and validated theory: geological colum and the law of superposition
thankyou for the information Radz, I am not denying the existence or validity of the geologic column. I can clearly see that the oldest layers are on the bottom and accept that 100%.

One of those tests consists of a simple comparison of existing undisturbed sedimentary layers: if layer A is above layer B in one location, then whenever you can find both layer A and layer B in other locations, A will be above B. Another test is that where layer A is above layer B and layer B is above layer C, then whenever you can find layers A and C - with or without B (it may not extend as far as the other layers) - layer A will be above layer C.
​
Is there any place on earth where the column exists in its entirety?

Why does it matter? How likely is it that it would?
