Trace Fossils Falsify the Global Flood

--its quite simple to point out Morton's fallacy here (it was a rather humerous essay in my opinion ):

--I think I have said it more than once that various environmental conditions (including local water depth, or whether there was water at all in the region) will vary geographically. After a certain sedimentary deposit it could have been several days or even weeks before there would be another deposit on top of this one. That the turtle coprolite in Morton's article exhibits dessication cracks from drying out is no big surprise.

--No, they just did what their species was either created for, or has been doing for several hundred million years, attempting to preserve the species. As far as we can tell, the most prominent function of most animals is to eat, reproduce, and die. Besides, general consensus has it that dino's were not the most intelligent creatures on the planet.

--You sure they didn't lay the eggs and then the sediment came to burry them?

Explain the animals burrows that show that animals were digging around and living there normal lives while thousands of feet of sediment were supposedly being deposited on top of them by a worldwide flood.

The frumious Bandersnatch

So this flood which deposited thousands of feet of sediment all over the world in less than a year left gaps of weeks while animal dung dried out.

Then came in again and buried the animals with their dung. And the animals somehow survived the deposition of the thousands of feet of sediment under them and were walking around depositing dung that got dried out. And you think this makes sense. Hmm. Have you really thought through the scenario you are proposing? It doesn't seem that way to me.

Why don't you explain to us how there were animals and insects even still around to make tracks in the Coconino Sandstones after the Tapeats Sandstone, Bright Angel Shale, Muav Limestone, Grand Wash Dolomites, Temple Butte Limestone, Redwall Limestones, Surprise Canyon Formation, Supai Group and Hermit Shale Formation were deposited under them by a worldwide flood.

Then explain how there were animals around to make tracks in the upper part of the Chinle Formation after the Tapeats Sandstone, Bright Angel Shale, Muav Limestone, Grand Wash Dolomites, Temple Butte Limestone, Redwall Limestones, Surprise Canyon Formation, Supai Group and Hermit Shale Formation, Coconino Sandstones,Toroweap Formation, Kabab Limestones, and Moenkopi Formation were deposited under them by a worldwide flood.

Then explain how there were dinosaurs around to make thracks in the Navajo Sandstones after the the Tapeats Sandstone, Bright Angel Shale, Muav Limestone, Grand Wash Dolomites, Temple Butte Limestone, Redwall Limestones, Surprise Canyon Formation, Supai Group and Hermit Shale Formation, Coconino Sandstones,Toroweap Formation, Kabab Limestones, Moenkopi Formation, Chinle Formation,Wingate Formation and Kayenta Formation were deposited under them by a worldwide flood.

And the tracks in the Wingate formation and Kayenta formation and so on.

The explain how all those delicate features such as termite and other insect nests got preserved by a worldwide flood that was depositing thousands of feet of sediment.

Explain the animals burrows that show that animals were digging around and living there normal lives while thousands of feet of sediment were supposedly being deposited on top of them by a worldwide flood.

the sediment under the eggs?

--....was deposited before the eggs were layed... the principle of superposition.

I don't see why it doesn't make sense. Maybe you need to cite a very specific stratigraphic framework so that we can apply the situtation to what we really see in the geologic column. For instance, do we found a mammals dung in a low stratum, and then we find the same type of mammals dung again superposing it and a significant amount of sediment which is an extensively lateral deposit? Or do we see something else? Details details.

--It would be a lot easier for you to explain why they shouldn't be there. Do you have some geological real world details?

Do you have a specific fossil nest whose surrounding lithology we can work with?

Which animal borrow would that be? Do you have a specific citation? I think you need one..or more. Are you sure taht thousands of feet of sediment were being deposited on top of them while they were digging?
