Growing the Geologic Column

Good grief, if they are actually there then they are there, I can't make them disappear, I just have to figure out how they fit into the Flood.

That diagram shows the usual time periods of the Geo Time Scale, indicating that those layers have been there some time, so where are the new accumulating sediments you are talking about?

Abrasion with the upper layer as it tilted and slid beneath it.Quartzite layer protruding upward simply too hard to erode so it must have cut into the sandstone.

What? I ask a simple question and get this weird answer? I just want to know if you used radiometric dating and it told you the relative ages of the two intrusive rocks.

I give up. If you can't follow my argument forget it.

No you didn't follow it, you were only interested in your own view of the deformation increasing with depth. And as often happens I get back the utterly ridiculous straw man idea that I'm describing something "perfect" as in "perfectly parallel." There is no way to talk to people who make such hash out of a simple communication. So you think the important thing is that deformation increases with depth. Important for what I have no idea but my argument still stands and maybe somebody will get it right. Or maybe not. Edited by Faith, : No reason given.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

It certainly does no such thing, and the analysis I gave of the order of the strata in relation to the faults shows the opposite.

In the lower quote I was talking about the diagram I posted not the diagram you posted. I haven't said a word about faults in your diagram that I recall. My only remark about it was that it doesn't show current sedimentation, just the stack of layers back through the time periods.

It's obvious, take it or leave it.

Sure there is, the very erosion you attribute to millions of years of wearing down a former mountain range. Sure there is. Huge quartzite boulder buried in the Tapeats sandstone well above the contact line.

I don't ignore anything, I've talked about it and if you can't see what I mean by parallel you have no ability to see or think at all and why should I talk to someone who makes such a mess of a simple communication. End of contact with you.

You obviously haven't read a thing I've ever written about the salt or anything else. Why do you have to make up a straw man?Edited by Faith, : No reason given.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

Your snarky discussion of the salt in that diagram as if I'd never heard of such a thing is what I'm reacting to. The salt isn't the issue in the diagram, just the deposition of sediments according to Percy. If you think that is shown, fine, it just looks like any geo column to me with all the strata one on top of another. Sagging because of the salt of course.

There are no unevidenced beliefs in my discussion of that diagram that edge obviously can't understand. I wasn't talking to you. Mind hyour own business.ABE: Nobody has shown any evidence against what I've been arguing, that's the problem, edge just can't read.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.
