Nope. It isn't. It's not even "worldwide" in the northern hemisphere. You should stop reading those creationists websites. They always tell untruths about everything.

..,. and not continuous even there. So what, they do pretty much wrap around the globe. You know, those layers on which the Geologic Time Scale was built.
Nope. It wasn't. The geological time scale was not built around "layers of rocks". Do you even have a basic idea what the geological time scale is?

Re: sedimentation on slope
Really, Faith? How so?
The geological time scale doesn't represent strata or layers or anything like that.
It represents time periods. That's a bit hard for you to understand, I guess.

Re: sedimentation on slope
The Geological time scale was not built on rock layers. It was built on time periods, not "rock layers, Faith.

Go look at any model of the time scale and see how it is tied to the Geologic Column layer by layer.
Nope, it's the opposite. Those hundreds of thousands of "layers" fit into the time periods they belong in.

Re: sedimentation on slope
Somehow Faith doesn't realise that the geological time scale doesn't represent "layers". The geological time scale represents time periods.
Not layers, Faith.
It really, really is not a hard concept to grasp, Faith. Seems like you struggle with that basic concept.

Re: sedimentation on slope
edge, all YEC's writing on the subject deliberately confuse the geological time scale with local stratigraphic columns. They do it on purpose. To mislead.
The first figure Faith provided shows how the local stratigraphy at the Grand Canyon (which, in itself, is a simplified diagram) relates to the geological time scale.
Oh, and Faith, the second one is a version showing the relationship between the different time periods. It shows, for example, that the Carboniferous Period occurred before the Permian Period.
The Carboniferous is a time period, Faith. Not a layer. The Permian is a time period, Faith. Not a layer. It really is not hard to understand.
