Re: Oh Lord...save us from wacky "geology" theories...
Hi roxrpooh, your comments are << bracketed >>
<< You surely are the most delusional poster we've ever had on this forum. >>
Oh I’m ‘delusional’hmm, lets see. And you guys think everything is milliards of years old and man came from well I suppose if I say monkeys then it may offend some people, so I will refrain.... It’s quite interesting that not a single dingle one of you can truly refute my observations. You simply say your delusional because I don’t believe in the jack-up, whimsical theories of geology (primarily historical geology, not all of it’s jacked-up) and can immediately rip them apart exposing them for the junk they truly are. Yet those who claim to be geological experts refuse to recognize the fallacies in these alleged theories thus digging yourselves ever deeper into a hole of dupedom. with no way out.
<< LOL You haven't a clue as to how geology works >>
LOL is right! What is really hilarious is how geology truly does not know how the earth works(ed). You know very well my position on massive volcanism (along with aquatic debris flows) as being the primary mechanism for earths’ formations. You guys say playexcuse me plate tectonics where the earth went into some kind of continental demolition derby What a fuggin’ hoot This theory is so pathetic with its per/yr movement that it does not even deserve to be called science. But geologists are gullible folk enough to hang their hat on this idea like flies on stink. Now we have this fact of everything on earth being a plate or a mini plate with the strange ability to scoot independently horizontally over the globe. Give me a break Ya know rox, its probably best that someone outside your field of expertise tell you guys like it is; the plate tectonic theory is utter junk and its high time you guys get off this whimsical theory once and for all.
Here’s an example; the British Isles are a result of intense volcanism, not a friggin’ 3cm/yr plate crash. Get the picture there rox?
Here’s another example; rocks are brittle (including basalt, sandstone, granite, etc.). Why this simple fact escapes science is beyond me. You guys are looking at dried up rocks that have cured, cracked and dessicated after they were deposited. Yet plate tectonics stacked them up somehow at 4cm/yr. Man you guys obviously have no clue how earthly material truly gets stacked.
<< and I am quite certain you have never opened, much less read, a book on geology >>
Yes, I do read books on geology whenever I want to glee over wacky, non-scientific ideas for a chuckle. The one thing I will say about geology is you guys don’t deny that EVERYWHERE there was once an ancient sea.
<< You, my dear, are a big, fat liar with a massive inferiority complex. >>
Oh c’mon there roxyroo just because I blatantly refuse orthodox science and am not afraid to challenge each and every one of you does not make me into a liar now does it? As far as a massive inferiority complex goes, nope, sorry, I have a massive ego I am an ARCHITECT for crying out loud and if you meet an architect who does not have an ego, do NOT hire them

Re: Oh Lord...save us from wacky "geology" theories...
Hi Architect-426,
Though I'm curious about the origin of your beliefs, such as what evidence leads you to chose "intense volcanism" as responsible for the formation of the British Isles, perhaps we should return to the original topic. What evidence in the geological layers leads you to see a flood as responsible for the particular distribution of fossils we find in the geological strata?
By the way, since you're an architect, what do you think about the possibility of multi-story reed structures such as those on the ark? Perhaps you can help out Greentwiga over in the That boat don't float thread.

Re: Oh Lord...save us from wacky "geology" theories...
The funny part is roxrkool's message 120 was to Faith, but the delusional and geologically clueless parts work pretty well for you.
You sound like all those mainstream geologists who spent half a century denying plate tectonics, as the evidence piled up.
Since you think you should be the planetary dean of the geology department, why haven't you written up your research? There is a Nobel Prize just waiting for you!

Architect, that post you quoted was not directed at you, but I shall reply when I have the time.
I must apologize to Faith, she wrote me a very nice PM (to which I have partially replied), despite my obnoxious post. I intend to continue my discussion with her via PM due to her current status.

No, I don't get anything you write. Define "intense volcanism" and present your evidence for it.
Here’s another example; rocks are brittle (including basalt, sandstone, granite, etc.). Why this simple fact escapes science is beyond me.
It's obvious you have not read much about geology as this "simple fact" is known by all. Rocks on the surface/near-surface tend to behave in a brittle manner. However, rocks subjected to increased temperatures and/or pressures will often behave in a ductile manner. Try Googling "brittle-ductile transition zone."
You guys are looking at dried up rocks that have cured, cracked and dessicated after they were deposited. Yet plate tectonics stacked them up somehow at 4cm/yr. Man you guys obviously have no clue how earthly material truly gets stacked.
Your layman's terms mean nothing to me. Show me pictures and define what you mean by dried up, cured, cracked, dessicated, deposited, etc.
Oh c’mon there roxyroo just because I blatantly refuse orthodox science and am not afraid to challenge each and every one of you does not make me into a liar now does it? As far as a massive inferiority complex goes, nope, sorry, I have a massive ego I am an ARCHITECT for crying out loud
I think it's quite clear you have a massive ego.

Rhetorical question: How could a real architect be unaware of such simple facts about the strength of materials?
Combine this with the known inverse relationship between confidence and knowledge and what do you get? That's rhetorical, too.

Re:

Real architects don't have to know anything about the behavior of rocks at high temperatures and confining pressures. Indeed, nowadays architects rarely work with rocks.
So on those grounds it is possible that Architect-426 could puke out ignorant nonsense about geology and still be an architect.
However, that being said, I find it difficult to believe that anyone could be so darn stupid and still be an architect. If he is, then certainly I would never risk my life by entering any building that he's designed.

Re:

Answer: because they hire engineers to make their designs work. All the architect needs to do is draw pretty pictures and sell the pitch to the client.

Dr Adequate and RAZD
I'm going to let Architect address whether architecture curriculum coursework covers the strength of materials (which includes the effect of temperature), and why he didn't retain any of that information himself.

True, but it does seem strange that a profession that at least used to deal with the strength and behavior of different materials (such as steel, wood, and glass) suddenly becomes utterly incapable of understanding there are different kinds of rocks and they have different properties. Obviously Architect-426 is incapable of understanding temperatures and pressures beyond those found on the earth's surface despite the fact such conditions can be duplicated in the lab.
So on those grounds it is possible that Architect-426 could puke out ignorant nonsense about geology and still be an architect.
I agree, unlikely, but still possible. My experience has shown however that creationists are often quite comfortable with blatant dishonesty and that lying about their credentials is of no great concern (as in Hovind and Baugh's phony PhDs).
However, that being said, I find it difficult to believe that anyone could be so darn stupid and still be an architect. If he is, then certainly I would never risk my life by entering any building that he's designed.
Well, it was an architecture grad student who introduced me to Ayn Rand, so they seem to be as subject to defending an over-simplistic dogma as most other professions.
Having said that, I must agree. I don't want to enter a building designed by someone who does not understand how stress, strain, and harmonic vibrations can act to change material properties under extreme conditions, such as earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, and acts of terrorism.
I would also hope every building is built upon a firm foundation, a concept that our aforementioned architect appears to have missed in more ways than one.

Your credentials are obvious, no one other than a well trained geoscientist would use the term "two-pyroxene leuco-gabbro."
I'm just sayin' as a library administrator with a degree in geological engineering (but of course, I knew that from the first post of yours I read).
That is a lot more than I can say for some other posters here. I just wish my poor tom cat hadn't died a few weeks ago, he was much better at smelling a rat than I am.
