Are you implying that there is a single sedimentary stratum that blankets the entire earth?
Reference please.
It’s your own geologists that claim they can date the earth and fossils by the order in which the strata was laid down, and confirm its consistency by existing worldwide. Are you implying they are incorrect?
I will state outright that you don't know what you are talking about.
What you are indirectly referring to is the use of
index fossils, and you have totally butchered how they are used (what else is new).
HINT: their use does NOT rely on universal strata. Almost the opposite, really.
It is funny - creationists generally attack the fact that there is not 100% uniform geologic column the world over, but here the resident expert on 'allies' and 'genetic strains' - and now, apparently geology - implying that there is one.
There is, and since each one is uniform the world over, which in your comment above wanted to argue against..... and is sedimentary.......
Then isn't it odd that you did not provide an example, a name, a link, a citation to this universal sedimentary stratum.
I think creationists should all meet and figure out which sides of arguments they should take.
You know, to avoid contradicting each other.
So should evolutionists, or is it Darwinism, Neo-Darwinism, Lankarianism, catastrophes, or millions of years or sudden change?
You might have a point if there were a sizeable chunk of modern evolutionary biologists advocating Lamarckianism, and if you understood what Darwinism/neo-Darwinism are, and if you understood that gradualism does not - and never did - prohibit catastrophism.
IOW - you should try reading about the nature of the claims you make BEFORE you make them.
Geologist agree with me, uniform sedimentary layers worldwide, remember. All in uniform consistent layers, remember...
How can I remember that which you have yet to provide support for?
I am not a geologist, so maybe I am wrong. However, I have taught classes on evolution, and in those classes I have discussed index fossils and geological phenomena, and if there were consistent, uniform, world-wide layers of sedimentary rock, then I know that there would be no need for the use of index fossils.
So show me a link or a paper or or something.
Five world-wide floods?
Chapter and verse please.
The chapter of the creation, penned by God. Look up global extinctions....
I know about mass extinctions, but I don't know anything about floods causing all of them, and I should think that such events would have been God's work, yet in the bible, there is but one flood mentioned, and there is zero evidence for that.
Still waiting for a single uniform world-wide stratum that will contain the fossils of all the humans killed in the flood along with every other form of creature.
You see it, from the age of the dinosaurs onward. It just hasn’t formed into sedimentary rock yet, but is consistent as that’s how geologists say they can date things worldwide, remember?
How can I remember that for which you have not offered anything of merit?
So, you are saying that the 'stratum' that we are living on today proves that there are strata around the entire world formed by these five world-wide floods that you claim (without evidence) occurred?
Creationists twist and turn, and are never straight shooters.
