[QUOTE="Job 33:6, post: 76038214, member: 399299"] Alright, I made some minor adjustments and expanded on some thoughts. I've added the following to the OP: "[I]Additional thoughts on folding of layers: Not sure how I made that jump from sedimentary to metamorphic and back to sedimentary topics, but anyway, It has come to my attention that the poster does distinctly depict sedimentary rock, and not metamorphic. No matter though, the causes of folding are the same in the vast majority of cases. And apparently some YECs have a history of overlooking fractures and brecciated material in folded sedimentary rock. I think it would be fair to ask the question of if the ark encounter poster accurately depicts the earth to begin with. Which is to say that if we were to find an outcrop much like the one in the poster, if we looked closely at it, is it even true that we would not find fractures within it? And the answer is that you would find fractures in it. In which case, the posted is a big giant straw-man to begin with. Which is really unfortunate for this ark encounter poster because it makes it even more dishonest than it already was. End of additional thought." [/I] And I removed that statement of mine regarding metamorphic rocks. It seemed to be conflicting with much of my response. And yet, it should deserve some mention that many heavily folded layers are metamorphic and aren't actually sedimentary. So I'll find a way to stick it in to word it properly. [/QUOTE]
