More apt is that its the trunk of the tree. The acceptance of the geo column for almost 200 years by science puts the onus on you and others to dislodge it. You belittle the concept w/o understanding it. You claim the world to be undecipherable while much good evidence exists that deciphers many things.
It's about time that you make some rational arguments supported by physical evidence about creation theory. To differentiate this theory from evolution you need to understand the rationale of the geo timetable even if you don't believe it. Freshman geological concepts of deposition and tectonic movement aren't that hard. I think that you can understand the concepts (and perhaps do having been exposed to some). I also think that you find yourself unable to do so because understanding them is too close to lending credence to them and your religious preconceptions won't allow it. Saying that you don't understand so its not understandable (when so many others do) is not smart.
The bad habit here is that you fail to demonstrate how science got off the track so long ago in regards to the age question.
In the past whenever you settle on a subject (geo column, Grand Canyon geology, etc), you don't stick with it and bounce to another subject when the going gets tough.
You seem much more competent discussing prophets of the Bible where your background is knowledgable and relevant.
My apologies to the Admins as this post adds to the topic drift from Angels and demons. I await another thread where Faith tackles any one particular scientific subject with relevant information.
