It seems as though every day on this forum the same empty statement is made that the evidence fits the Young Earth/global flood model of creationism without anything backing up the statement and even after it has been demonstrated to be a false model with respect to the geologic evidence.
The purpose of this thread is to be both a reference and debate thread. I keep posting the links to other threads falsifying YECism/flood geology and they are consistently getting ignored. Instead, I'm going to post the links at the beginning of the thread (feel free to add the ones I've missed while looking around, or bring up new points, of course). That is, whenever the same empty YEC claims are brought up, all we should have to do is bump up this thread or reference this thread when geology comes up. Other arguments that fall outside of geology such as biodiversity, biogeography, insects, etc. can be explored elsewhere (sorry, Frumious although you have brought up interesting and new arguments the forum hasn't really seen before...your threads are stand-alone classics). However, paleontological and biostratigraphic observations can and should be discussed here as they are relevant geological sciences.
My thread on 12 features in the Grand Canyon that cannot exist under a global flood/young earth model
notto's thread on the Hawaiian Island Chain and the submerged Emperor Seamount Chain illustrating the nature of plate tectonics
my thread (new as of 08.10.03) on the Hawaiian Island Chain as a supplement to the above link that gives a refutation of catastrophic plate tectonics and our ability to predict radiometric dates of the islands
ardipithecus' thread on angular unconformities, or erosional surfaces between stratigraphic sequences whose original horizontality has not been preserved (and unconformities in general have been discussed here also).
my thread on varves, or seasonal rhythmites deposited in lakes annually
Arikay's thread on the mathematical analysis of implications of a global flooding event with respect to implications in hydrogeology, the atmosphere, and other topics
Frumious Bandersnatch's thread (new as of 08.10.03) on evaporites
Frumious Bandersnatch's other thread (new as of 08.10.03) on large igneous provinces
and notto's thread (new as of 12.03.03) on Devil's Tower
The notion of a worldwide flooding mechanism has been long falsified as has a young earth.
It might be best to choose one point at a time to discuss from any of the above threads, or else bring up a new topic. However, bringing up a new topic does not make the above arguments that falsify flood geology go away at all.
Hopefully this can be used as a thread to reference when a geological topic comes up as it is fairly broad, but at least now the comprehensive geological arguments can now be found in one place and don't have to be repeated endlessly.
