The TRVE history of the Flood...

I just wanted to thank you for hanging in here, despite Faith's arrogant rudeness. Her lack of self-awareness is amazing and frustrating.I have learned a lot and generally find your explanations quite comprehensible. This discussion of basins made things click onto place for me.

Now, of course, you aren't just talking about some volcanic rocks, you are talking about lava flows which is something else. My guess would be that they are sills that pushed into the Jurassic strata at the end of the Flood, but just a guess of course. There's evidence of post-Flood volcanoes, in the Grand Canyon, Grand Staircase area in particular, which was part of earlier arguments on this subject. And I'm sure you will agree that whether or not I can offer the evidence you want proves nothing about the Flood. Do take it to heart, it will change your life for the better. Which is nowhere in a flat slab of rock. With about the same degree of objective value as reading tea leaves. The human mind is marvelous when it comes to putting together disparate objects to create meaning. A fossilized bone buried in a slab of rock among fossilized plants becomes evidence of a creature that roamed around in a world that contained those plants instead of evidence of a dead animal and dead plants buried in mud. Ripples caused by wind on a still-wet deposit of the Flood become a beach. Marvelous imagination. My attention span isn't too good at the moment.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

You're contradicting the Bible.

As I recall, a British team of creationists were studying just this phenomenon a few years ago. I forget their purpose, something to do with earthquakes as I vaguely recall, but all such communications between "time periods" are much better evidence for the Flood. But in any case if you are implying that I say that the contacts between layers are ALWAYS tight, you're wrong. Just that their existence at all is evidence against time periods and for the Flood. The very existence of such a contact that intersperses the sediments of different "time periods' is evidence against them. Tight contacts, muddy eroded contacts, interspersed sedimentary layered contacts -- none of it is evidence for time periods, but good for the Flood. Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

Not if you had half a clue to the whole context, but I'm not going to take the time to fill you in right now.

There's nothing in the Bible that remotely backs up your wild-ass claim of mountains forming after the Flood. It's something you MADE UP out of whole cloth.

That's one of the rudest stupidest posts I've ever read.

It fits the geological evidence and it doesn't contradict the Bible.

It DOESN'T fit the geological evidence, as this thread shows.And "not contradicting the Bible" is an extremely low standard. Gigantic alien helicopters dropping the mountains into place last Thursday wouldn't contradict the Bible either. That doesn't give you an excuse to make stuff up.

It fits the geological evidence which has been argued on other threads It's all about the timing of the continental split and tectonic pressures. You speak from arrogant ignorance.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

You have failed miserably in EVERY thread to back up your fantasies.

I've proved the Flood over and over and over. Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

Funny how WORKING geologists are arrogant ignoramuses and you, who know nothing about geology, are the only one who understands.

I called YOU that, not the Geologists. I never said they know NOTHING about Geology. I get what I know from them, after all, when they are able and willing to be articulate and communicative, which is not always. But they know a lot, just not the crucially most important things, so their information needs adjustment. But I get my main information from a better source you see.

I am not plural. And it's the geologists that you're disagreeing with. That's like telling the pilot of the plane that his information needs adjustment.Science is self-adjusting. YOU are the last person on earth to be making the adjustments.
