La Brea Tarpits

Why arent fossils being formed anywhere in the world today?
Obviously you have never visited the La Brea tarpits in downtown LA.
Obviously you are unfamiliar with the process of mummification in dessicated environments.
Obviously you are unfamiliar with oxygen starved environments.
Obviously you are unfamiliar with the content of ocean sediments.
Your ignorance of the facts are obvious, would you like for me to replace that word with oblivious?
Don't lie again, be it intentional or unintentional. First time it can be passed on as ignorance, each time thereafter means you break a commandment.

Very few fossils are formed today
No contradiction there.
I should likely retract any accusation of dishonesty, now I think you are too mentally screwed up to be consistent (look up the term if you don't know what it means, there are online dictionaries) within an hour and therefore are not in violation of any commandment.
Unfortunately, there are no commandments against completely embarrassing oneself in an internet forum, even if the perpetrator can't even begin to understand why.

Your the one that takes this topic so seriously. Im just here for some friendly and fun debate. The fact that we are discussing the Genesis flood in 2012 is peaceful enough for me.
I take this topic seriously because anti-science forces infest the school system and indeed even my workplace in West Texas.
If one is against science, one is against democracy, liberty, a strong military, and most important - the economic health of the nation.
Yeah I care, it hits me right in the damn pocketbook for starters.
Admins, please forgive this off topic rant, but I feel compelled to respond.

Castile Formation
Portillo writes:
If you put various sediments in a blender and then lay them down with water, they will all go back neatly into layers. Kids can do this experiment at home!
Yes, they can and if they do it 260,000 times with alternate wetting and drying cycles they could create an approximation of the Castile formation.
quote:
The laminations of the Castile Formation (as well as those in the uppermost Bell Canyon and Salado Formations) have been interpreted as annual varves (Udden, 1924; Anderson and others, 1972). The calcite and organic-matter layers represent periodic (annual?) freshening of the water and the development of plankton blooms. The anhydrite layers represent restricted, more evaporitic conditions. Considering the basinal nature of the depositional setting, the obvious aridity, and the prior influx of clastic terrigenous material, it seems odd that the Castile-Salado evaporites contain virtually no detrital windblown silt. It is possible that the alkaline waters may have dissolved much of the original silt influx.
Approximately 260,000 calcite-evaporite cycles have been counted in the uppermost Bell Canyon-Castile-Salado sequence. This implies extremely rapid deposition of thousands of feet of evaporites in the Delaware basin, a common situation with major evaporite deposits. The Castile cycles provide one of the longest continuous climatic records from any time interval in the Phanerozoic. The record of "varve" thicknesses has been analyzed recently (Anderson, 1982, 1984, 1988, 1991) for larger-scale cyclicities. Major peaks were found in the range of 20,000 and 100,000 years, indicating that Milankovitch-scale climatic variations were active during deposition of the unit.

Yep, them kids could show that according to your model, there had to be 260,000 great floods with a time interval of a bit under 12 minutes each during the 150 day time period. (260,000/150/24=.198X60=11.9)
PS - Thanks Coragyps for reminding me about the Castile a few years back.
