--I am most interested in seeing how this is so. Please tell me Joe, what is it that I am missing or ignoring?
JM: Umm, I just told you. Please explain the physical process of magnetization in rocks, describe the physical process of how that magnetization is symmetric about the ridge. Describe why the sedimentary sequences on land show the same signature as in the ocean floor and finally, explain all of this in the context of a global flood. You see, you have an overly simplistic view of magnetostratigraphy and tectonics in general. Such things are not 'healed' on bulletin boards such as these. You are getting grief, not so much because of your young earth stance, but because you don't understand how your arguments actually negate themselves. So, I say once again, grab those references I gave you and learn a bit more about the subject. Then come back and you won't make the same mistakes. At the very least, your arguments will be more learned and you might get useful dialogue. Quite frankly, this is how your argument sounds to people who have studied the subject:
Imagine:
Person A: Hi, you don't look so good.
Person B: Well, I don't feel so good.
Person A: I've read a couple of medical books written for the layman and an introductory physiology book.
Person B: Gee, I don't know if that means you know what you're doing.
Person A: Sure, the bible says all you need is faith. Now let me have a look at you.
Person B: I dunno.
Person A: I remember my references saying to check lymph nodes for infection. Lemme try.
Person B: HEY! Those aren't my lymph nodes!
Person A: Well, maybe it's your gall bladder!
Person B: I thought the gall bladder was right here?
Person A: No, it's able to move quite a bit. Let's listen to your heart.
Person B: Aren't you using the wrong end of that thing?
and on it goes...
Cheers
