Have any Biblical literalists been to the American Southwest?

Why don't you tell us how water can simultaneously deposit a hundred feet of sand in one spot and 200 feet of limestone 200 feet away and then 500 feet of shale one mile from that?Not only that, but please explain how a water column can deposit a stacked section containing 50 feet of sandstone, overlain by 10 feet of carbonate, overlain by 50 feet of shale, then 5 feet of evaporite, 30 feet of sandstone, 800 feet of carbonate including something that resembles a reef complex (replete with various coral species, sponges, etc.), 10 feet of intercalated redbeds and evaporites, 5 feet of pillow lava, 500 feet of lava, 100 feet of carbonate, 5000 feet of shale... etc. etc. etc.Please show us your model that explains the above vertical and lateral stratigraphies and include scientific support for your theory.

The thing is, since this thread is not in the science forum, Faith can state/assert whatever the hell she wants without supporting evidence.And since she is banned from the science forum, precisely because she is incapable of presenting evidentiary support for her assertions, she's free to ramble on promoting whatever ignorance she cares to, here.Additionally, since she habitually makes these nonsensical geologic/scientific assertions in non-scientific threads, replying to her is generally off-topic.Imagine that!This message has been edited by roxrkool, 09-08-2005 02:16 AM

I totally agree with you, CK. I immediately picked up on what a waste of time Faith is when she first showed up and started posting her nonsensical garbage. So have other geos, as you can see from most of them not giving her the time of day. I've been suspended twice and both times because I lost my temper after reading her ignorant assertions.Since I enjoy the geo-related threads and she ultimately posts in them (when not located in the science fora), I find myself having to read her posts and about blow a gasket each time.Therefore, I stay away as much as possible from EvC.

NO! All science topics should be restricted to science fora where you are required to support your assertions with SCIENCE.Faith has shown herself to be completely incapable of holding any sort of scientific discussion. I can't believe she gets away with that HERE of all places.

WHY WHY WHY!!!!WHY does anyone (me included) respond to this utter fucking garbage written by an ignorant armchair geologic-know-nothing who couldn't tell the difference between shit and schist?WHY?Yes, I know I will likely be suspended for this. I no longer care.I'm leaving for a week in the field doing REAL geolgy and I won't have internet access. Take care. Later.
