Faith writes:Percy that remark about redissolving the strata of the GS came after they accused me of thinking in terms of dissovling rock, which I hadn't, it was an afterthought to see if I did think it might, and I thought the strata might re-dissolve but certainly not marble or granite. Again it was an afterthought, I'm sorry I mentioned it. But it is NOT the reason for what they were saying and I still don'tknow what was. It was very frustrating because ALL i was trying to say is that the LAND MASS would have been the source of the sediments that became the strata, and I had LOOSE material in mind.

Curiously, standing water is not known for causing any significant erosion or mudslides.Faith
It's known for DISSOLVING stuff. Soaking, saturating, dissolving.

Faith writes:The flood didn't "form" the strata in the sense you mean. It only only "formed" the strata by moving the sediments and depositing them. It did not create the sediments themselves unless by breaking up the land mass. It picked up clay, it picked up sand, it picked up calcium carbonate sea creatures and moved them, from wherever they had initially resided or formed, and carried them most likely in currents of the Flood waters -- that occur naturally in layers in the oceans and do transport things -- to be deposited as layers over the continents where they piled up very deep and eventually became rock.
Correction, the currents do occur at various levels, but the layers I had in mind are formed by the different temperatures at various depths and are a different phenomenon from the currents.
