Take a look at the discussion here: Heat release from tectonic friction
HBDWhoever calls me ignorant shares my own opinion. Sorrowfully and tacitly I recognize my ignorance, when I consider how much I lack of what my mind in its craving for knowledge is sighing for. But until the end of the present exile has come and terminated this our imperfection by which "we know in part," I console myself with the consideration that this belongs to our common nature. - Francesco Petrarca "Nothing is easier than to persuade people who want to be persuaded and already believe." - another Petrarca gem.

The point is that we do NOT see what we MUST see if either of the Biblical Flood stories were correct.
You were the person that tried the old misdirection con-game by saying some birds might have flown on board or mice hidden in the ark when no one was looking. That is adding to the Bible, the Bible you claim to believe. But in reality it is just another of your attempts to deny reality to try to preserve your fantasy. Too bad that if either of the Bible stories were true we would have to see that Biblical Flood bottleneck signature and despite your attempts at wiggling away from truth, the signature just ain't there. The Biblical Floods have been refuted and anyone claiming they happened is simply untruthful.Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

mindspawn writes: the problem lies not with me, mr unbiased You're the one complaining. In the wrong thread. I'm just trying to provide you some helpful feedback. Few are paying attention to moderation in this thread. Including you. If I started singling people out, then *that* would be biased. If, as I told you before, you'd like to begin listening to my requests then I might be able to help you. This is a science thread at a science website, and my moderation is informed by the standards and criteria of science. I'm glad your entertained and having a good time, but if you'd like moderator help then you have to stop saying ridiculous things and making ridiculous claims, such as that you're embracing geology when in reality you're rejecting almost all of it. When people respond with ridicule or antagonism I really can't blame them. If you want my help then you have to begin by helping yourself. But the first step would be to post any complaints to the proper thread: Report Discussion Problems Here 4.0

I am nearly ready for the dates forum ... So all this time you have insisted you were right when you knew you were completely ignorant of one of the major mechanisms involved choosing instead to call the experts in the field incompetent, foolish and liars all without cause. This kind of intellectual dishonesty is not acceptable. Unfortunately it is also expected of creationists.

I am nearly ready for the dates forum, we can discuss dating rocks there. It appears to be the main argument against a flood at the PT boundary. The dating forum I set up will not be dealing with the P-T boundary. If you read the opening post, I asked for discussion to be limited to the era of modern humans, the past 200,000 years and specifically excluded the P-T boundary etc. I would prefer to concentrate on radiocarbon dating, as that's the field I know best. That would be the last 50-60,000 years or so.Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge. Belief gets in the way of learning--Robert A.

I do embrace geology, but obviously not the timeframes. Or anything else that interferes with your fantasies.
I am sure you know my position by now. Yeah, you think that geologists are wrong about pretty much everything except whether rocks are heavy, while pretending that geology offers support for your position.

Sweeping statements! Are you seriously stating that all the water would boil off the planet without any links or maths to back it up? Well, I was being a little hyperbolic... but its utterly ridiculous to think that you can compress all that crustal displacement into a very short amount of time. That idea is deserving of nothing more than sweeping statements.
Its only in mountain building tectonic movements that the friction is high. You're the one who thinks that the "mountains" back then were just "hills" because that's what the hebrew word really meant. But anyways, your Flood model stands refuted in the absence of any possibility of humans near the PT boundary.

I'm surprised nobody's challenged his claim that only mountain building has high friction. His plate analogy is obviously not analogous.

You were the person that tried the old misdirection con-game by saying some birds might have flown on board or mice hidden in the ark when no one was looking. And of course the con-game is beyond mere misdirection. Regardless of what happened to birds or mice, we can make the observation that pigs cannot fly or climb ropes to board a ship. Explaining away the issue for a few species, when ALL species must show a bottleneck is beyond 'making a typo' or the other things that mindspawn uses to excuse himself. Such things are evidence that the man will say practically anything. I'm quite done with him on this issue, and I doubt I'll be able to give him the benefit of the doubt on honesty in future dealings.Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison.

Even funnier is him asking me to show the evidence that the bottleneck event signature is not seen. It's like "There's no hole in the target" and someone saying "Where is the evidence that there is no hole in the target."
There is no fucking hole in the target dumbass. Edited by jar, : appalin spallinAnyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

You'll have to excuse my tardy reply, I've had tech problems... I poured mocha into my keyboard. This is generally not recommended.
Haha , a transgression IS A MARINE INCURSION, even if temporary. That's the meaning of the word. That is what covered the whole of South China. Nope.
See those brown things in the centre-right? They're land. That's where the Xuanwei was. Your transgression clearly did not cover all the available land.
Granny writes: This is game over for your PT Flood, whether you have the decency to admit it or not. mindspawn writes: Exactly. First sensible thing you've said in this thread. But, oh, wait...
Floods wash away terrestrial plants. We would not expect a whole marine ecosystem to develop over a few months of flooding. So what we see is consistent with what the scientists describe, a transgression is how they interpret the geology of the entire region. I would prefer their interpretation than your unnecessary ranting. So your position is that a marine layer would leave no marine material? That is imbecilic. If you are going to act as though history's largest marine event would leave no marine evidence, then I think that desperation speaks for itself. Marine life would have been physically washed into the flooded areas instantly. A fossiliferous ;layer with terrestrial fossils by the ton, but no marine fossils whatsoever is a terrestrial layer, end of story.
You are looking at the wrong place in the layers. You are still trying to look WITHIN the Xuanwei formation for the PT boundary, but the PT boundary occurs at the end of the Xuanwei Formation and the beginning of the Kayitou. No it isn't, that's why I chose this formation as an example. Check it out;
Even you, with your intense allergy to reality, ought to be able to see that the Xuanwei extends beyond the PTB. NOt by a great span of time, but still, it straddles the PTB. That's why it's marked PTBS, or Permian Triassic boundary sequence. Do try to keep up.
I think that is why you are getting so very confused. It's ok... maybe now you will understand that AFTER the Xuanwei formation, but covering the entire Xuanwei region were lacustrine (lake-like) conditions that point to marine flooding (transgressive processes) Uh huh. You don't even know where the events we've been discussing for the last fifty messages appear in the sequence and you think that a lake is an undersea feature, yet I am the one who is confused. Care to describe an undersea lake to me? Or are you going to dodge that question yet again? A lake is a terrestrial feature. You can't have a lake under the goddamn sea. Obviously. This is so plain that I ouhgt not need to explain it to you. A lacustrine environment completely refutes your hypothesis. For you to pretend that it supports you is asinine at best, mendacious at worst.
I posted the evidence for all to see. There's about 1000 people a day reading this stuff, so I don't care if you all back eachother up, the readers of this thread read my links that the marine transgression did in fact cover the entire region. I am content for any readers to draw their own conclusions.
Haha I was teasing you about the mega-lake. Ah yes, "haha", that most scientific of arguments. Look, if you want to act like a pillock, be my guest, but don't take the piss and then complain that I am rude. Your whole attitude invites rudeness, this being a perfect example.
I posted evidence that the transgression covered the entire South china region My dear boy, you posted nothing of the kind. Mutate and Survive

Hi Moose,
I appreciate your input, what with you actually having studied geology IIRC. I would like to refer you to the map I posted in my last message though. None of these land-masses was extensive. None of it was far from the sea. Of course, I may still have misinterpreted the quote. Mindspawn has a bad habit of taking a quote out of context, and then providing only a broken link (to a 404 message or attack site warning), so it's hard to tell what the original authors were getting at.
