Re: On topic
Except we don't have mating pairs of animals ...
That's what I was thinking too. Now if there would have been several pairs of animals seeking out safety with humans a day or two in advance of the flood... that might raise some eyebrows. But one owl landing in/on a guys car during a flood is one of the wackiest things I have ever seen given as evidence for Noah's flood.

Strata and fossils
Yea, yea, we know. Strata and fossils = global flood.
But the question here is...
Do you think this story of a hawk seeking help from a human is actually evidence of Noah's flood?

Re: the usual miserable finale
The erosion is minuscule, like rubble between layers caused by runoff or perhaps a shifting of the rocks causing abrasion. Erosion of the sort that we find on the surface would look like canyons and cliffs
You mean like the 800 foot tall monadnocks that jut up into the Tapeats? I never thought of 800' as miniscule, but I guess in Faith World who knows...
I did a project on "animals that farm" for a Population Ecology course I took and one of the groups I talked about was termites. Typically we think of termites as eating wood, but termites in Africa make these elaborate combs that they use to grow fungi and then they eat the fungus. In this paper, The first fossil fungus gardens of Isoptera: researchers identified fossilized fungal garden combs in paleosols associated with the Miocene.
A column showing the paleosols and in situ root systems.
Images of the fossilized combs recovered from the paleosols.
Here are the stratigraphic columns from another location where fossilized fungal combs were found.
Notice Aeolian cross bedding, erosional surfaces, roots, and fungal combs buried under 3 + meters of sediment.
There are quite a number of sites where these same types of termite associated fossils are found (at least hald a dozen of so).
So, what we need to know is ...
?? Are these sections part of the "Geological Column?"
?? Did the Flood deposit these as is?
?? Are these a result of termite activity post-flood?
Sure would be nice if there was anyone on the evo creo side here who could think straight and had the guts to say what needs to be said.

Re: the usual miserable finale
ere's an image of the Muav Limstone that happens to show a channel (riverbed) eroded into it's surface by the Temple Butte Formation:
The channels on the Muav are maybe 30 - 50' deep; I think Faith considers that "miniscule." I think she expects that if the surface is eroded it should look like the Grand Canyon, which is the typification of surface erosion. Otherwise it FLAT, FLAT, FLAT.

Re: the usual miserable finale
The Muav channels were clearly formed after the strata were all in place by liquefied limestone running between the layers.
How can you possibly say that is "clear"? It is far from being clear that "liquefied limestone" even exists and that the channels in the Muav were cut by this fictitious material.
You could possibly say that "maybe liquefied limestone ran between the layers and carved the channels." But to say it is "clearly" the case and that we must all be blind to not see it is beyond ridiculous.

Re: the usual miserable finale
It doesn't look like a surface river bed, it has no features of a riverbed whatever, it's smooth and bald, it looks like a channel cut between the layers, and since it's filled with limestone which often dissolves, forming karsts and so on, which are also in evidence in the GC, it is the best explanation.
ABE: They sure don't look like karsts.
But Yea, sure, whatever ....
What about the paleosols? What cockamamie idea do have about how paleosols with intact termite nests and roots are preserved?

Re: the usual miserable finale
The smooth half-moon shape of the channel.
It seems patently obvious to me that 1/2 moon shape indicates formation at the surface and a more rounded or football shape would indicate subsurface formation. Just look at features that we have today. A surface river forms a channel with a rounded bottom but the upper surface is flat since there is nothing but air above it.
Cross section of a typical river.
While a channel forming underground is more rounded. Why wouldn't the material above the channel collapse into the newly formed channel since that material was still wet. Or was the upper material dry and the lower material wet.
Here is more like we would expect an underground flow to look like:
Now, why would it be obvious to me, or any of us, that the channels in the Muav were carved by subsurface flows?

Re: the usual miserable finale
The bottom image shows where the fungal combs were found in that location. In the upper section they were found within the roots.
Paleosols were probably just organically rich soils that were compressed in the laying down of the strata.
Preserved intact through a raging flood? With root systems and fungal combs in place? Rather implausible I would say.
Those pictures don't help I'm afraid. I can't picture how the items were found in situ from such displays.
That's just simple denial and unwillingness to consider evidence. Good show.

Re: the usual miserable finale
Have you examined the contact between the Temple Butte Fm and the Muav Limestone to determine if there are indeed no pebbles and stones there? No, you haven't.
Others have and they determined that they were in fact stream beds. You can't make out a clear image I posted of paleosols and in situ roots, but you can tell from a picture taken from probably 100+ yards away that there is no stream bed debris in the bottom of those channels that are cut into the Muav. Come on, your just making stuff up.

Re: the usual miserable finale
Accusing me of foul motives is pretty cheap debate form.
I didn't address your motives. I am questioning your ability to make rational conclusions about images you see on your computer screen.
ABE: Ignoring evidence presented to you while going on and on about how no one has ever rebutted your assertions is what is bad debate form.
ABE2:
The "others" who determined that the channels were stream beds couldn't see it any other way because they assume that it was originally on the surface because of their belief in OE theory. Paradigm influence.
Now who is using the motivations of others as a debate tactic? Hint: it's YOU!

Re: the usual miserable finale
What's with this "raging" bit? The only raging part would have been at the very beginning and then it most likely quieted down as the water rose over the land.
Oh that's right. I meant the "gentle" flood. That quietly carried huge chunks of sediment and paleosol blocks around and gently deposited them where it willed and covered them carefully with gently deposited sediments.
Wouldn't it have taken a tremendous amount of energy to strip all the land away and suspend all those sediments so as to have enough material to deposit the layers of the GC miles think? How could large sections of paleosols survive that?
Which way do you want it raging or gentle?

Re: the usual miserable finale
That looks like the Temple Butte limestone was originally laid down as a layer between the Redwall and the Muav when all of them were wet.
No... the temple Butte flowed between the Redwall and the Muav and formed channels, remember? We were just discussing that not even 10 minutes ago.
