Earth science curriculum tailored to fit wavering fundamentalists

You remember how I proved that you were completely wrong about that? So you should probably stop saying it. Once you did so out of ignorance, now it smacks of dishonesty.

Perhaps you should try to retain facts in your memory rather than fictions. ... which generations of practicing geologists couldn't find even though they were looking for it in the geological record, but which you have apparently discovered single-handed while barely glancing at a rock. Good. You do that.

Alternating layers of diatomite and volcanic tuff. I wonder if Faith has a Floodist explanation.

But we were talking about diatomite and volcanic tuff. They didn't precipitate. Percy's reply: "Precipitation and sedimentation are two different things. [...] The Earth's sedimentary layers consist primarily of sediments, not precipitates" is perfectly accurate. If he had said "THERE ARE NO PRECIPITATES IN THE GEOLOGICAL RECORD YOU FOOL", then he would have needed putting right.Edited by Dr Adequate, : No reason given.

I should say that the diatomite was caused by the deposition of diatoms and the volcanic tuff was caused by the eruption of a volcano. Are we in agreement so far? And I would say that the reason for the alternation between the two is that the two causes alternated.Edited by Dr Adequate, : No reason given.

I said : "The diatomite was caused by the deposition of diatoms and the volcanic tuff was caused by the eruption of a volcano."What did you expect it to look like? How does it fall short of your expectations?

You have repeatedly been informed that any given time period will have lots of rock types. So it seems that the "strangeness" here is all in your head. As usual.Edited by Dr Adequate, : No reason given.
