Water was water.
Gravity was gravity.
Mass was mass.
Your fludde claims require all that to be false. You're peddling magic.
"Sorting fossils in water' is not something I've ever said.
You can't even remember what you've said, much less what mainstream science has produced.
Message 322:
All the same big event, huh? Would you care to speculate as to why no crab fossil has ever been found in the same rock as a trilobite fossil? No perch in the same rock as a eurypterid? No dimetrodons with dinosaurs? Never, in any of those cases?
Something to do with the principles of hydraulic sorting.
PaulK replies:
And Faith just demonstrates why my advice was good.
No Faith, as others have pointed out, hydraulic sorting is not a viable explanation. Even at the simplest level, the fossils associated with each era have a huge range of shapes and sizes, quite the opposite if what we'd expect if hydraulic sorting were the issue.
And
Message 343 you reply:
Hydraulic sortibng plus original location of the original creature, plus level of the currents in the ocean that carried them etc etc etc.
And that's just a small sample.
Or do you not realize the "hydraulic sorting" in a fludde refers to sorting in water?
We see lots of instances of similar sized and similarly shaped organisms, eating similar diets with similar behavior patterns in similar environments (including level in the ocean) but never ever ever ever found anywhere near together in the geological column. Just can't happen with the laws of how mass, water, and gravity work. No matter how much water.
Your claims are disproved by fundamental physical laws. You are preaching magic.
