AV1611VET,
I see you simply ignore my questions. No problem, I will just post them again.
If you say God arranged it this way after the Flood, why did he arrange it so everything looks so much like what we would expect if the Earth was here for 4.5 billion years? Why does it look so little like what we would expect if a massive flood-cleanup had occurred 4500 years ago in a young Earth? Why do we find dinosaur nests and dinosaur footprints in these supposed flood-cleanup layers?
If you say God laid these rocks out 4500 years ago complete with embedded age and embedded dinosaur footprints, how do I know that he did not create me last Thursday complete with embedded age and embedded memories?
You postulate a God who takes the remains of a global flood and arranges it to look like the result of natural processes over hundreds of millions of years. If such a God exists, then we could know nothing, for a God that powerful who goes to all that effort to lay things out so deceptively could be deceiving you right now. If such a God exists, then it could be that this post actually says, "The Earth was created Last Thursday", but your God simply rearranges all the photons reaching everybody's retinas so they read this sentence instead. Prove me wrong.
"Triassic" is a distinction on the fossil RECORDS, not the fossil LAYERS.
It's a word made-up to account for a specific area under scrutiny.
No sir, "Triassic" is the name for distinct rock layers found in the Earth. Many of the geologic layers were named by creationists like
Adam Sedgwick . They saw distinct rock formations in Great Britain with distinct fossils. To keep things straight, they gave these layers names like
Cambrian,
Silurian, and
Devonian. Since these layers contained distinct fossils, and always overlaid in the same order where they overlapped, these creationists came to the conclusion that God created different life in different time periods in the past. Most of them thought these time periods occurred before
Genesis 1:2.
This is your astounding, reasoned response to, "..and have rocks that record ages in a specific range typical of that period."
In other words, you have no answer to why the rocks intermixed with all those fossil layers down there have the right amounts of lead, argon, rubidium, strontium, helium and other elements all intermixed at the right portions everywhere to make it obvious to scientists that over 200 million years of radioactive decay have occurred in the Triassic layers after they were deposited. You simply close your eyes and say, "Nope".
My guess is that deep inside, you do wonder what you would see if you opened your eyes, yes?
Your God would not mind if you peeked, just a little.
The stretching deals on on paper -- not with the layers themselves.
Wrong. I have shown you 3 different large areas where the fossil record is over 1 mile thick, with multiple dating methods showing that these rocks were deposited over millions of years (
Arizona,
Michigan, and
Iraq).
If you are going to close your eyes when we show this evidence, there is nothing we can do for you.
But perhaps there are other people reading this that would like to know what they would see if they opened their eyes. They could start here:
