You seem to want to divorce the Geo Column from the Geo Time Scale but the funny thing is when you google the column it comes up either in connection with the time scale or in some cases as identical with it
This is not worth the trouble as long as things are kept straight. We need some way to talk about all of the layers.
Igneous intrusions are of course more recent because they ARE intrusions and therefore out of order on the time scale.
Intrusions are out of order, yes. But let's not forget that we've pointed out igneous layers that are not intrusions. An example would be that lava layer on Ascension Island. I and others pointed out other igneous layers that exist.
f you are claiming that it is continuing to build wherever sediment deposits, it just seems logical that you could show that what it is building ON is recognizably earlier strata recognizably identifiable as time periods.
I hope you'll add detail to this, because it does not seem to make any sense. If sediment is depositing today on top of a sediment and any other layers that were there yesterday, that would seem to meet the requirement. We don't need to date them to know that.

It seems to have been completely ignored that my original point was that lava is not part of the Geologic Column.
That is a valid point. But it was not ignored. As I recall, you expressed the opinion that lava could not even form layers. That's the reason you received responses showing pictures of lava layers.
In any event, the issue with lava being or not being relevant was discussed in Percy's Op and he indicated that he has reason to discuss all of the rocks under our feet. Lava layers may be relevant to the discussion without being a sedimentary layer.
Yes, any deposition is going to be more recent than whatever it is deposited upon, but the point is that the Geologic Column IS associated with the Geologic Time Scale and the strata that are identified with that are quite identifiable as separate sediments
The Holocene layer is still under construction. What you are asking for is not necessarily going to exist in very many places on earth. Perhaps you should explain why that is problematic for you.

Re: thank yall very much
,we don't have a printer, that yall provided. we are camping out so he will be my eyes for me. he has his field notebook still out ready to take more notes to take from what you write. hes taking this seriously. i think yall are going to make a budding geologist out of him.
That's an awesome story. Nice work, bro, or sis!

Well, my interest has been in THE Geologic Column, so apparently there is no point in my remaining on this thread.
No there is not. Not when your point has been refuted using your own definition and you have no response. Bye-bye.

Are you still here participating in a thread of no interest to you?
This thread is about the geological layers that exist all around the world, and accordingly has very little to do with 'The Geological Column' as you define it.
Maybe we'll get around to discussing some imaginary stuff later. See ya.

Re: a partial review

That's good, that's an answer. But those places are awfully limited when you compare the great extent of some of the layers that extend across states and continents.

Game over.
Particularly when we note that the Geological column as you describe it is an abstraction of what actually exists.

Re: whatever
Your statement is very much like saying we don't actually know how tracks were made in the mud.
A claim that Faith has actually made in this thread...
Faith writes:
The difference, an enormous one, is that the paleontologist has never seen the creature that made the footprint whereas the forensic criminologist has seen millions and has a huge database just in his own experience to work from in solving the crime.
Completely refusing to face the fact that it is the mere presence of the footprints in question that is problematic.
Faith stopped debating and started exclusively preaching and making excuses about two days ago. Will we ever get any of that evidence and explanation that was promised to come later?

I think you are addicted to the attention you get here. You could put this stuff on your blog and hope that four people will read it, or you can post nonsense here and get feedback from anywhere between 3 and 15 people all within an hour

Re: Discussion Can Continue
Faith believes those who follow this process to conclusions inconsistent with her Biblical interpretations are wrong but can offer no scientific reasons why they are wrong.
I imagine that everyone is a hero on their own blog.
I can honestly say that I don't give a hoot what Faith posts on her blog. She is free to misrepresent, distort, and completely miss the point if that's what she wants to do there. I've been to her blog before, but the address is no longer in my browser history and I won't be expending even the minimal effort to find a link to her blog.
Faith is a zealot, and not a particularly capable one. And zealots are a dime a dozen on the internet.

Re: Discussion Can Continue
I think what Percy is saying is that Faith has no intent to lie, so in that sense it is not a lie. I used to agree with this, but now, after many years in forums such as this, I'm not so certain.
I'm not so certain either. But on balance I do not believe that Faith intentionally lies. I believe she has actually managed to convince herself.
I was going back over posts of mine that Faith responded to, and I came across this gem (emphasis added by me):
The state of geology today is mostly a matter of radiometric dating. Otherwise it's still the same science of interpretation of past events that cannot be tested or proved. Hutton's interpretation of Siccar Point is that the bottom part had to have been made vertical before the upper part was laid down, but there is no way to test that and I hope to prove it eventually with a real test, which I hope is possible for the idea that the lower strata were buckled while the upper were in place.
How do you type inconsistent tripe like that without having deceived yourself?
