No, the really great thing about YEC is that if any of the "faithful" do bother to check your facts, you can just wave your hand and say "Goddidit."
And if they continue to point out gaping holes in the logic, then you can change the subject by questioning their faith and warning them of the dangers of hell. |

While being gentle enough not to disturb dinosaur nests as it carved the grand canyon.

As yet we have no answers from YECs. YECs constantly repeat the mantra that the data fit nicely with the young earth and global flood when properly "interpreted". What we see constantly when challenges are presented on many aspects of the world as it exists today is that young earth, global flood based interpretations either do not exist or are both totally inadequate and logically inconsistent. There is simply no way that the fossil record is consistent with the flood myth.
Here is a page with a few more details. http://www.nogs.org/cuffeyart.html
Another amazing coincidence is that flood sort Ammonites by the complexity of their shell sutures. http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaver...37/sorting.htm
Then there is the sorting of microfossils http://home.entouch.net/dmd/micro.htm
The list of features of the fossil record that falsify the myth of the worldwide flood is virtually endless.

Just wondering.

Only a small fraction of the problem that the fossil record presents for the worldwide flood has been discussed here and yet the YECs on the board seem to be totally stumped. You would think that since the flood is such a central tenant of YEC that someone would try to make some sort of stab at a defense. Perhaps it is because there is no defense. The fossil record is clearly one of many falsifications of the myth that flood of Noah was worldwide and YEC "flood geology" is totally unable to deal with it.
