I've been on many beaches, they don't look like that. Those are beaches. Those are actual photographs. They look like that.
But it doesn't matter. All you are talking about is what happens to sand under certain wet conditions. Specifically, beaches. Only the tide does that.
Again, as I keep saying, it doesn't really matter, it's all a bunch of red herrings, because the reality of the strata, the different sediments, the horizontality of the layers, the lack of anything like erosion of the sort we see on the surface of the earth, let alone a humongous canyon before they were all in place, the way the fossils are grouped and tumbled within the rocks, and so on and so forth, which I've been trying to bring to your attention, absolutely defeats the idea of long periods of time per layer. Again, if you would just think about what I'm pointing out you would have to recognize that your theories are delusional. I'm sure that's why you won't think about it. I have thought about it. So have geologists. This is why they know you're talking crap.

I wasn't talking about chemists astronomers and physicists., but perhaps I simply missed what you had said. ABE: I went back through this idiotic discussion and found no mention by you of these sciences either until the last post. Again, I don't call them evolutionists, just geologists because geologists are involved with Old Earth thinking. And I was merely answering your ridiculous accusation that I was accusing ANYONE of conspiracy, which I wasn't. And when you made that accusation you didn't mention chemists astronomers and physicists. Your posts so far are just nuisance accusations to change the subject and I apparently didn't read carefully. Get out of this discussion, you are contributing nothing.

You aren't going to get lithification if such a pattern sat on the surface for very long. Go on, show me one of those beaches that exist now with that pattern that has lithified in place or even preserved its pattern over a short period of time. Ha ha. Sure. Pick any sandy beach. Dig. You don't suppose, do you, that the sand is just on the surface? A beach is where sand accumulates. Here is a picture of a cross-section through unlithified sediment from the past few hundred years.
Note the ripple marks.
But again, these things are red herrings once it has already been shown that the structure of the strata as a whole couldn't possibly have been produced by long ages. You'd better get on with that then.
Also, go think about the Grand Canyon being cut into a mile deep stack of them, all remaining so nicely horizontal don't you know, if they are supposed to be a billion years old at that point. What a joke. At the very least that fact absolutely destroys uniformitarianism, but really it destroys the whole OE theory. Some reasoning would be nice. --- As a bonus, here's a side view of unlithified aeolian sand.
See how the cross-beds get buried by more aeolian sand? Edited by Dr Adequate, : No reason given.

Lithification is not problematic where sediments are rapidly buried under tons of other sediments, lithification is problematic where they remain surface over long long long ages, which one would expect on the old earth theory.
Again, the appearance of the strata shows that they couldn't possibly represent long periods of time, implied by the different separated sediments and the flat horizontality. It's ridiculous to call rocks landscapes etc. And the fact that the Grand Canyon didn't get cut until after a supposed billion years or so of strata was already in place absolutely kills the old earth idea. But you are theory-blind and can't see these obvious facts.

Nothing in your pictures answers anything I've said as far as I can see. Unlithified sand is unlithified sand. And a cross section does not show that the ripples of the surface shown in the other pictures were preserved as neatly as they supposedly are in the strata, which I thought WAS your point. But what is your point now? It would take something like the Flood to lithify it, at least the weight of a lot of other sediments compressing it. When you find your unlithified sand in neat horizontal layers let me know, because that is not going to happen under normal conditions on this earth, which disproves your old earth theory of the strata.
ABE I went back to find my post you were supposedly answering.
I've been on many beaches, they don't look like that. But it doesn't matter. All you are talking about is what happens to sand under certain wet conditions. There was sand transported in the very wet conditions of the Flood that we assume rose and fell as waves do. So your "beach" affects absolutely nothing I've said. So it's caused by the tides you say, fine, then it was caused by the tides during the Flood too. Only there the rapid burial of the sand eventually caused the whole stack to lithify into rock.' Again, as I keep saying, it doesn't really matter, it's all a bunch of red herrings, because the reality of the strata, the different sediments, the horizontality of the layers, the lack of anything like erosion of the sort we see on the surface of the earth, let alone a humongous canyon before they were all in place, the way the fossils are grouped and tumbled within the rocks, and so on and so forth, which I've been trying to bring to your attention, absolutely defeats the idea of long periods of time per layer. Yes, that is my point, that it doesn't matter about the ripples because my point is that the different sediments, the horizontality, the lack of normal surface erosion, the way the fossils are embedded, all shows that the strata could not have been laid down over long periods of time. And then when we get to the cutting of the Grand Canyon only after a supposed billion years of the relatively undisturbed laying down of the strata we have more proof of that.
Again, if you would just think about what I'm pointing out you would have to recognize that your theories are delusional. I'm sure that's why you won't think about it. Which you didn't in this post about the unlithified sand either. You just picked a side issue and made a big deal out of it and ignored my main point. Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

Oh here's a stupid post where you are accusing me of all kinds of things I never said. What a jerk you are.

Jesus was saying that we have to choose between him and our families and all other loved persons and things, and that means hating those we all too easily love more than him.

Faith, I wish you could see that science is simply a method of truth seeking regardless of what that might be, it is not a set of beliefs supposed to be true.
Scientists don't decide to come to certain conclusions to make the Bible look false, they just uncover the evidence and discuss it as it reveals itself.

Faith, I wish you could see that science is simply a method of truth seeking regardless of what that might be, it is not a set of beliefs supposed to be true. Where on earth did I say otherwise? I've been giving good scientific arguments against some scientific claims. First that whatever you think you know about the past cannot be verified and is therefore untrustworthy, and sorry Mr. Easily Swayed, but the Bible is solid trustworthy witness, God's word, and if science contradicts it, science is wrong. But that hasn't been my argument, my argument is that there is no way to replicate or test the past to verify your theory about it and that's so obvious it's STUPID not to recognize it. And now I've been giving good EVIDENCE why old earth theory is false. EVIDENCE, Mr. Easily Swayed. Simple observation of actual facts, but apparently nobody here has eyes.
Scientists don't decide to come to certain conclusions to make the Bible look false, they just uncover the evidence and discuss it as it reveals itself. Where on earth did I say otherwise? The problem is they are FALLIBLE, and they misinterpret their evidence, and when it comes to the PAST THEY HAVE NO WAY OF HAVING ANYTHING BUT THEIR OWN ENDLESS COGITATIONS ABOUT IT BEFCAUSE THEY CANNOT VERIFY IT. Good grielf, can you read? Besides, as I've said before I AM NOT OBJECTING TO REAL SCIENCE. The sciences of the past are just a bunch of mental castlebuilding because they cannot be verified but the real sciences have replicability and testability. Good GRIEF can't you THINK?

Very well said.

Nothing in your pictures answers anything I've said as far as I can see. You wrote:
Go on, show me one of those beaches that exist now with that pattern that has lithified in place or even preserved its pattern over a short period of time. Ha ha. Here we see the pattern being preserved.
And a cross section does not show that the ripples of the surface shown in the other pictures were preserved as neatly as they supposedly are in the strata, which I thought WAS your point. You can see the ripples. Can't you?
So it's caused by the tides you say, fine, then it was caused by the tides during the Flood too. That wouldn't work. You have to have shallow-water sediment so that it's affected by the wave base. As you'd know if you'd bothered to study sedimentology instead of making stuff up.
Only there the rapid burial of the sand eventually caused the whole stack to lithify into rock. There are other causes of lithification besides rapid burial by magical processes. Such as non-rapid burial by non-magical processes. And in the case of sandstone, cementation also.
Yes, that is my point, that it doesn't matter about the ripples because my point is that the different sediments, the horizontality, the lack of normal surface erosion, the way the fossils are embedded, all shows that the strata could not have been laid down over long periods of time. Some of those are things you've made up, the rest don't show what you say (without a shred of argument) that they show.
Which you didn't in this post about the unlithified sand either. You just picked a side issue and made a big deal out of it and ignored my main point. You have a point? It looks more like a set of unsubstantiated assertions and crap you made up.
