With regard to the Katrina evience, it demonstrates that multiple layers of sediment can be laid down very quickly (hours rather than centuries) under those conditions.
Multiple layers of
sediment in a highly localized area under well understood conditions is not the same as multiple layers of
strata world wide lain in a variety of well understood condition which is what we find and presents a serious problem for Flood geology.
Localized flooding does not create salt or chalk deposits. Localized flooding does not layer limestone, aeolian sandstone, basalt and shale. Localized flooding doesn't explain why we find trace fossils in strata like insect burrows, footprints, root systems, etc.
Some of your requests I cannot answer until I have 50 posts and can post links.
Just use the [plain] tags until that point. The url won't convert to a hyperlink, and you can still post the whole thing.
On bottlenecks, do you want to discuss the unidisputed human bottleneck or do you want to discuss animal bottleneck. Most anti-creationists shy from the human bottleneck because it is fairly undisputed and is only a question of timing.
I'm up for whatever you've got man because I'm more than confident that it's all PRATTs and cherry picked data ignoring the larger context. Feel free to post the human bottleneck (whichever one you're referring to) and we'll discuss it.
On the animal bottleneck, one has to understand that what came off the ark were created kinds, not species, and carried the genetic material necessary for speciation.
Ad hoc horsefeathers. Kinds is a bogus concept that has no explanatory power and
zero scientific evidence. Creationists cannot draw a line between kitty cats, moo cows and horsies (because they tend to myopically focus on barnyard and zoo mammals) and make it stick. The common ancestry of cows and horses as cousins and their groups being cousins to cats is well understood and well evidenced.
And the genetic pre-loading "argument" is nothing but ad hoc with no evidence supporting it what-so-ever. If it were true we should find genes for all the characteristics of every species of a "kind" present in each species with the various genes either turned on, off or broken. We don't.
A good example is the American Bison, a species (as opposed to a created kind) that recovered from near extinction and demonstrates good genetic diversity -- in less than a hundred twenty-five years. It had human help and there was cross-species breeding, but the kinds that came off the ark would not have needed it.
More genetic frontloading ad hoc nonsense. There's no evidence for that. American bison are regulated to ensure genetic diversity. And they're not the only species to be pulled back from the brink of extinction. The European bison has as well, is highly regulated for genetic diversity, but still have lost 3 of 5 Y chromosome lineages since the breeding program began.
And Bison is a genus (2 extant and 3 known extinct species) that is connected via common ancestry with Afrian Buffalo, genus Bos that includes domestic cattle and water buffalo in the tribe Bovini. All Bovini species are connected via common ancestry with other members of sub-family Bovinae such as kudu and elands. Family Bovidae are connected via common ancestry and includes Bovinae cousins like impalas, wildebeasts, sheep and goats.
On the Japanese reference. That single earthquake moved a nation and that tsunami killed thousands, while the Indonesion one killed tens of thousands. At the Flood, the fountains of the deep broke open. I have seen estimates of 5000 to 20,000 undersea volcanoes -- Imagine 12,000 Japans, not to mention what fell from the sky.
Who is making these bogus estimates and on what evidence to they base them? Because there simply is no evidence anywhere on the earth of 5,000-20,000 undersea volcanos - and you do realize that volcanos are different from earthquakes, right?
On the Grand Canyon -- I did not see any refutation, just names. That is not even a decent ad hominem attack.
I mentioned the names of two of the most prominent YEC proponents of the Grand Canyon being resultant from the Flood. The fact that you don't know who they are suggests to me you're not even getting your information first hand from YEC sources.
