quote: Only if you mean the abstract geological column synthesised from multiple different strata in different locations. And the entire geological column is not present in many places, including much of the Grand Canyon. The Kaibab Limestone, often the upper level is Permian.
quote: It is quite obvious that you are rationalising away the evidence of earlier tectonic disturbances because it contradicts your model. And that fact is quite sufficient to show the falsity of your claim.
quote: And because they are composed of the sediment that is deposited on the sea floor. And no, there is no viable alternative explanation.

quote: It is certainly relevant to your claim that the entire geological column/time scale span the entire Earth? When, so far as I can tell no location on Earth has received continuous deposition and only a relatively few locations have strata from all the geological periods.
quote: That is simply untrue as shown by your attempts to rationalise away the evidence. The Grand Canyon Supergroup was clearly tilted before the strata above it were deposited, to give just one example.

quote: Disagreement with your opinions is hardly evidence that Leonardo was wrong. Especially when the disagreement is your mistake in the first place.
quote: So he was right - not wrong - and the mountain is composed of seabed. Which, of course, was the point.

quote: That is very unclear - and you did agree with at least most of it, and didn’t offer any argument against the rest.

quote: I think this says all that needs to be said. Anyone who thinks that the Gulf of Mexico is not sea is completely delusional.

quote: No. It’s pointing out that your assertion is utterly divorced from reality.
quote: Obviously it is sea floor. And I suppose it’s just your usual refusal to accept that you are wrong.

quote: Whether the strata underlying the Gulf of Mexico are marine or not is a question to be answered by geological investigation, not your decree. Until you support that claim with evidence it is just another of your empty assertion. It is also irrelevant to the question of whether it is sea floor. It is. And sediments there are being deposited on the (local) geological column. Adding to the geological column.

quote: That is an amazingly silly thing to say. There were seas throughout those periods. There are certainly marine strata from the Jurassic, the Cretaceous is known for having extensive marine deposits, and if you have any reason to think that there were no seas in later periods, or that they didn’t contribute to the geological record I haven’t heard it. No, the only way to determine if the strata underlying the Gulf of Mexico are marine or not is to examine the geology. Not declare that they aren’t marine because they are Jurassic or Cretaceous or whatever - because that is just nonsense.

quote: So you don’t care whether what you are saying is true or not. Because you assume that you are right anyway. I don’t actually believe that. It seems to be really important to you to pretend that the evidence supports you - even when it obviously doesn’t. I think that you spout nonsense because denying your errors and your faults is really, really important to you.

quote: I was the one who pointed that out in Message 1087 The fact that you posted silly nonsense to support a completely irrelevant point - instead of addressing the actual issue - hardly makes you look better. I suppose you are going to claim that the fact that the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico is seabed is irrelevant, too despite the number of posts you have made disputing that. Nevertheless the Floor of the Gulf of Mexico is seabed. It has a local geological column. Sediment is being deposited there. This is clear evidence against your assertion that the Geological Column is over and done with.

quote: Another obvious falsehood. But I guess it doesn’t matter to you because it’s just a diversion anyway. There is nothing in the diagrams which even supports your irrelevant claim that there are no marine strata there. Not that you care whether it is true or not.

quote: No, sediment is quite happy to fill - or try to fill - depressions. And we can see places that happened on the cross-section of Britain. And really, why wouldn’t that happen ?
quote: Of course to a rational person it doesn’t matter how quickly a salt dome can form. That can only provide a minimum age, not a maximum. The dome will only form if conditions are right - and I bet the conditions also control the speed.
quote: The Gulf formed by rifting, starting in the Late Triassic. Which you can’t admit to. I’m not at all sure what you mean about the strata, it doesn’t seem to match the diagrams.

quote: Why would it ? Myth is myth, and taking it as accurate history - in the teeth of all the evidence is daft. And the crazy things you say to try to prop it up are just insane.

quote: You’ve made a lot of claims - many of them utterly ridiculous, but when it comes to producing real evidence you haven’t exactly come up with a lot.

quote: That is a very odd thing to say. You are asking for an explanation of the mechanism. But you haven’t even tried to offer one, instead all you are doing is adding extra complexities which don’t seem to make sense.
