The problem of fossil stratigraphy falsifying the flood usually leads to silence from YECs only biogeography seems to shut them down as fast.Fiendishjester said:Is it just me, or is it a little quiet in here?
I'm about ready to pretend I'm a YEC and start creating some real clash.
That theory has a lot going for it: How often do policemen hear "well, I honked at it, but that tree just jumped in front of my car out of nowhere!"...I like the running up the mountains nonsense. Some wag on one of these boards has said that YEC is the belief that oak trees outran velociraptors while escaping the flood.
Yep, and for most, you don't even need a shovel, so that evasion won't work.A lot of nonsense can be found on various YEC websites but every possible YEC worldwide flood based interpretation of the fossil record is easily falsified by virtually countless examples that should have "sorted" opposite to what is found.
Even with all the problems on this thread and in your other thread only a fraction of the problems that the fossil record presents for the myth of the worldwide flood have been discussed. The YEC claim that a significant fraction of the fossil record was deposited by a worldwide flood is easily and thoroughly falsified by a huge mass of data that includes literally millions upon millions of fossils and yet YECs still claim that they look at the same data and it is just a matter of interpretation. However, they don't even seem to have the faintest hint of an interpretation to offer on this subject.troodon said:Wow, my thread has gotten quite large hasn't it
Unfortunatly, only 1 YEC even tried to explain it. And, 22 of the posts in it are bumps. Very sad that the only real discussion in this thread has been about God and His reason *for* the flood.
If anyone wants an even larger list of problem strata please direct your attention to this thread from the Christian-only forum. I had to do the bumping on that one
somebody HAS to say this to Hovind.Frumious Bandersnatch said:Some wag on one of these boards has said that YEC is the belief that oak trees outran velociraptors while escaping the flood.
So how does this produce the "coincidences" we see in the fossil record? Massive cyclonic currents strong enough to erode thousands of meters of crystalline rock and deosit it over hundreds of thousans of square miles should sweep up everything and deposit it in a massive jumble. How is it that there are animal tracks and nests in Permian and Jurassic and other sediments when these sediments are deposited on top of thousands of feet of other sediments that have been scraped off crystalline rock and transported across the continents by massive cyclonic currents?A notable consequence of the flooding of the continental regions is an emergence of giant cyclonic eddies, driven by the Earths rotation, that circulate over the flooded continents.29 These water currents are similar in origin to the jet streams in the atmosphere and display comparable velocities of several tens of meters per second. Such currents have the power and scale to transport and distribute the quantities of sediment required to form the thick and laterally extensive sediment blankets that characterize the Paleozoic and Mesozoic portions of the continental sediment record. Since their velocities exceed the threshold for cavitation, these eddies also have considerable erosive power, sufficient for example to erode thousands of meters of crystalline rock from continental shield regions, as the field evidence indicates has occurred. Other sediment sources include the pelagic material scraped from subducting ocean plates at continent margins. In addition to clay this pelagic inventory would contain halite, gypsum, and other salts formed by rapid evaporation of seawater at the base of the steam jets.
