You could have a thought balloon with him wondering why there are animal tracks, etc. in those "barren and unlivable" layers.

The reality includes animal tracks, burrows, etc. How do you suppose they got into those "imaginary" landscapes?

No. They're not all wet. Try googling "fossil tracks in aeolian deposits".

So what are they doing down there mixed in with all of the so-called "Flood" layers?

You just admitted they were:

And those aeolian deposits are sandwiched between layers that you claim were deposited by the same flood. How do you explain a flood layer with and aeolian landscape on top of it and another flood layer on top of that?

I would think that "razor-tight" contacts would require the bottom layer to be hardened before the top layer was deposited. We don't see razor-tight contacts in the peanut butter jar where all of the layers were deposited in one event.

When rivers flood, they leave sediment on the banks and we see animal tracks in that sediment. The animals are living off food in the water and food on the non-flooded land, and they're crossing the sediment to get to the food.Where's the mystery?

You've been shown that it's your notion that's false. There are livable environments right beside those unlivable ones. You are the only one who is imagining that the whole world was unlivable at the same time.

I don't think anybody is suggesting that every one of those layers represents an entire landscape.

And yet the "eyewitnesses" who wrote about the Flood didn't mention them at all - no meteorite impacts, no volcanic eruptions, no zooming tectonic plates, just an ordinary flood on a larger-than-life scale. Your "explanation" of the Flood effects is a totally made-up fantasy that has nothing to do with either science or the Bible.

It would be nice if anything you claim would be consistent with the Bible. The Bible simply does not support your "explanation" of the Flood. You are not a Bible literalist; you're more like a novelist.

How would One Giant Flood cause a lot of layers of the same material and the same thickness? Wouldn't you expect One Giant Layer?

But Faith has decreed that the Flood "would be different" from everything we've ever observed and every experiment we've ever done. Yet there was no violation of physical laws and no miracle.
