The Flood = many coincidences

It is geology, and it has been proven. You can even measure the cooling of a granite formation using radiometric dating: PaleosolsIf cooling of a geologic formation is not geology, then what is? Then it would be a very poor marker for the global flood, wouldn't it? No, they don't. Such features as paleosols discussed in the link above were not laid down under water. The Coconino sandstones are another good example. These are fossilized sand dunes from a wind blown desert. You say a lot of things. We are interested in the evidence that backs up what you say. Based on what evidence? How do you explain the iridium signal at the K/T boundary? How do you explain the K/T tektites that date to ~65 million years before present found at the K/T boundary? How do you explain the absence of a single modern mammal below the K/T boundary? What evidence supports your explanations? Yes, look to see which interpretation is backed by evidence and which is backed by zero evidence. So far, you are pushing an interpretation backed by zero evidence. The interpretation of standard geology is backed by all of the evidence.

It most certainly is. The characteristics and features of granite depends heavily on the speed at which rocks cool. How an igneous rock forms has everything to do with how it cools, where it cools, etc. Last I checked, the formation of rocks is geology. No it isn't. It is empirical and quantitative. The problem is that these interpretations are not scientific and are based on dogmatic religious beliefs. What geologic formation, if observed, would falsify a recent global flood? I think you are blowing smoke on this one. Let us know when you get to the second part. How so? You keep repeating this claim, but you never actually show how it is the case.

Robert, you are simply ignoring some very important concepts. Chemistry has everything to do with how rocks form, how they weather, how the cement together, how they age, etc. Some of that chemistry comes from life. For example, the banded iron formations seen prior to the Cambrian was due to the biological production of oxygen. This free oxygen oxidized soluble iron and turned it into insoluble iron oxide (aka rust). Limestone and chalk are made up of the skeletons of living creatures.Understanding chemistry and biology is vital to studying rocks. It can't be done without this knowledge.
