My guess is that he's referring to Schliemann. If his appeal is that we should listen to him because he's an amateur like Schliemann then he has nothing on the rest of us because we're amateurs, too. Except for those of us like Coyote who are professional archeologists.--Percy

Hi Portillo,You again did not address any of the information provided to you in this thread. By introducing Mount St. Helens you're not even talking about flood layers anymore. You're still in the same mode: you talk, we react to what you say, you talk, we react to what you say, you talk, etc.Why don't you go back to the messages that explained why floods don't produce layers the way you think they do, quote the parts you think are wrong, then rebut them.--Percy

Hi Portillo,We can't have much of a conversation if after we've rebutted your position you simply ignore what we say and assert your position again.Once again, the geological layers are a record of mostly very gradual deposition. The conditions on the modern earth are much like those in previous eras. Fossils are being formed today at the same rate as in the past. I guess you could argue for a recently reduced fossil rate on land because so much of the land area today is under cultivation. For example, the lower portions of the plains of Kansas might have been a region where fossils could have begun forming up until a couple hundred years ago, but now much of it is dedicated to farming.But marine fossils are forming today at the same rate they have in the past, though I suppose you could argue for a recently reduced rate there, too, due to reduction in ocean populations because of pollution, global warming, and over-fishing.--PercyEdited by Percy, : Grammar.

In this thread about evidence it was striking how rarely creationists made its acquaintance. The fundamentalist search for certainty has no better friend than ignorance, a condition where evidence plays no role.--Percy
