Over the years I have read quite a bit of creation science literature where claims are made that both look at the same evidence but interpret it differently. I have yet to see the same evidence presented.We are both looking at the same evidence but we are interpreting it differently. Now which interpretation is consistent with the physical laws in reality and made testable through the sciences?
Different layers of sediment represent different ages because they can be dated through a number of different independent processes.Lets look at the evidence through your lens and the problems with it:
You believe that the sediment layers represent ages.
As I pointed out before to which you still have not provided an adequate answer, was if these layers represent ages then why was one age just one particular kind of dirt? Does that mean that age only consisted of clay? Or Limestone? Or an age of coal? It doesn't make any logical sense.
Marine Limestone does not form in flood environments of any kind. It is a result of deposition of marine organisms and/or precipitants of calcium carbonate over very long periods. Nor does shale form entirely from floods. Shale forms in lakes and lagoonal deposits, in river deltas, floodplains, and sedimentary basins on the continental shelf from very minute particles, typically in very slow moving water. You also have to consider compaction which takes very long periods of time.The Grand Canyon picture you provided earlier, we know that limestone is made up of marine organisms, if these layers represented "ages" why is limestone an "age layer" throughout this picture? Why is there limestone on top? Was there numerous ages of floods big enough to cover the Grand Canyon? Even Shale is a sediment rock also known as mudstone, and to get mud you need water obviously. This picture is a clear evidence of hydrology. How is this evidence for slow and gradual vertical accumulation?
Looking back on the "same data different interpretation" comment, I had a thread a couple of years ago that asked for specific examples of "same data different interpretation". There were numerous examples posted of different data but none with the same data.
