Mr Birkeland, you've done it yet again! This post, too, needs to be archived somewhere like TalkOrigins, linked to the "Index of Creationist Claims" that Marc Isaac has over there. Brilliant, and I deeply appreciate your hard work on and clear exposition of these topics.
And ahh, Krotz Springs, Louisiana! That was the first place I ever tasted boudin! As I think I mentioned on the other polystrate thread, that is also near where we drilled into cypress stumps buried 50 feet or more beneath the bed of the Atchafalaya.
