The Geologic Column

"Actually,i think it was established first by Carl Lyle in the 18th century"
--Wasn't it charles lyle? I could be wrong.------------------

"However, the most telling point is that, despite the range of processes which could cause disruption to the formation of the standard geologic column, it has been produced in nature. And not just in one location, the complete geologic column has been found in 26 locations:
The Ghadames Basin in Libya
The Beni Mellal Basin in Morrocco
The Tunisian Basin in Tunisia
The Oman Interior Basin in Oman
The Western Desert Basin in Egypt
The Adana Basin in Turkey
The Iskenderun Basin in Turkey
The Moesian Platform in Bulgaria
The Carpathian Basin in Poland
The Baltic Basin in the USSR
The Yeniseiy-Khatanga Basin in the USSR
The Farah Basin in Afghanistan
The Helmand Basin in Afghanistan
The Yazd-Kerman-Tabas Basin in Iran
The Manhai-Subei Basin in China
The Jiuxi Basin China
The Tung t'in - Yuan Shui Basin China
The Tarim Basin China
The Szechwan Basin China
The Yukon-Porcupine Province Alaska
The Williston Basin in North Dakota
The Tampico Embayment Mexico
The Bogata Basin Colombia
The Bonaparte Basin, Australia
The Beaufort Sea Basin/McKenzie River Delta

--Thanx, I thought it was 20, but I guess it was just an estimate. Just as a note, this obviously doesn't contredict creation, just in case someone would see to argue it. I have a question though:
--How do they know that the whole geologic column is included in the crust, is it by sedimentation deposits, fossilized remains, or both?
--And what is the point of the argument on the Geologic column, what do we see it as proving and disproving, or showing that it sustains nothing.
--And last, I was just wondering, what are the mechenisms for sediment deposit, as I know of some, I am not sure If I am getting the whole pie.------------------

"Yes, Red, I believe that animals, plants and microorganisms are always found in the correctly dated layers, except where there is evidence of natural or artifical disturbance. Do you want to cite examples whcih contradict this?"
--I'm not going to attempt to cite examples whcih contradict this, though, what are examples of natural and artificial disturbances.------------------

"I saw you shortened my link in message 20. How do you do that?"
