Okay, lets pick one of the references to expose your baseless and childish slandering.

Berthault G., Analysis of Main Principles of Stratigraphy on the Basis of Experimental Data, Litol.Polezn.Iskop.2002, vol 37, no.5,pp 509-515 (Lithology and Mineral resources 2002 (fac-similé) (Engl.Transl.), vol.37, no.5, pp442-446), Journal of the Academy of Sciences of Russia.

The Journal of Lithology and Mineral Resources

Lithology and Mineral Resources (Litologiya i poleznye iskopaemye) reviews a wide range of problems related to the formation of sedimentary rocks and ores. Special attention is devoted to comparison of ancient sedimentary rock and ore formation with present-day processes, as the idea of actualism has always constituted one of the bases of the scientific philosophy of lithologists. A major part of the journal is devoted to comparative analysis of sedimentary processes on continents and in oceans, as well as the genetic aspects of the formation of sedimentary and hydrothermal-sedimentary mineral resources. The journal was founded in 1963 by Academician N. M. Strakhov. It will be of interest to lithologists, petrographers, geochemists, mineralogists, ore geologists and metallogenists, as well as to other geologists, ecologists, researchers of experimental and analytical laboratories, and graduate students.

You are barely worth responding to at this point SZ as you've shown a pattern of dishonesty and childish behavior. Don't expect me to waste my time with more of your nonsense.

I don't quite understand what you are trying to demonstrate with that article. An article published in 2002 showing how Nicolas Stenon's ideas (a naturalist in the 1600's) of superposition were incorrect. Are you suggesting that nothing concerning lithograph, sedimentation, and stratigraphy has been learned since then? Just asking.

Nothing. I wouldn't even have posted it but SubductionZone started calling Berthault a "crackpot" with "no scientific merit". SZ has no arguments so he has to attack people.

Anyways, don't worry, I have him on ignore now so I don't have to waste more thread space.

SZ's original point was about you lording it over posters with relatively low post counts.
Someone with < 1 posts per day telling me to please not derail another post is like someone going into a hospital about every other day and telling the doctors to make sure they follow protocol.

But you are not a doctor so why do you equate yourself with one?

A post count of over 3 1/4 million tells everyone here way more than they need to know about you.

Did you not notice that I asked for a well respected peer review journal? The source that you gave is far from well respected. In fact at the time of publishing and for two years after that they had a grand total of zero citations. That meant no one in the world of science thought that that entire journal was even worth mentioning. Not even writers that published at that journal. Finally in 2005 there were a few citations and in 2009 there were a whole whopping 29 citations of this journal, not of this article mind you, but of the entire journal during that year:

http://www.scimagojr.com/journalsearch.php?q=24485&tip=sid&clean=0

Now I am going to cheat just a little bit and show you what a very well respected journal does. Nature is the name of names in the scientific journal business. In the same time period their citations ranged from roughly 80,000 to 100,000 per year.

http://www.scimagojr.com/journalsearch.php?q=21206&tip=sid&clean=0


But Nature publishes quite a few articles too, so let's make it a bit more even and compare the average number of citations per article that each has. This varies quite a bit more in that same rough time period Nature's citation per article ranged from 10 to 27. That means on the average any one article could be expect to be cited about 18 times. The journal that your article was in had a per article reference rate from 0 to .274 at the most. This measure citations over the last two years so you can look at the history of that journal and can deduct that your article was never cited by anyone.

I am sorry, but you failed the request of finding an article from a well respected peer reviewed journal. Now if you want to discuss what was wrong with his nonsense I would be glad to do that.

And again, watch the personal attacks. I recognize garbage when it is presented. Now I have show that this is not my impression, it is the impression of the world of science as a whole.

Enough said. Now, what scientific information do you have to contribute toward the topic of this thread?

And, of course, Jesus played along with it, didn't He?

Luke 24:27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
Yes, Jesus didn't derive his authority from the scripture.

I agree that it could cause errors, but I think I have demonstrated that the issue is much less dire than you and others were insisting. Do you agree?



Again, that's not really what I was saying. What I mean is this: disputing conventional geology as a means of rebutting the refutation I made for your non-evolutonary interpretation of the Triceratops example (misclassification or ring "species"), implies that you are currently unable to refute the reasoning of those arguments without directly disputing geological interpretation. Is this correct?





I'd still like some clarification. Do you imagine that the flood moved through the area, picked up one morph, deposited it, picked up the next morph, deposited it and so on? Or do you picture the flood moving through the area, sweeping up the range of morphs and then depositing them in the order in which they were encountered? In other words, was each morph suspended and deposited individually or were all the morphs suspended before any were deposited?

Either way your flume video doesn't seem relevant. The stratification seen there is the result of different flow velocities acting on different sized grains. The Triceratops species in question are both effectively the same size and shape, so the mechanism seen in the video would not have any ability to sort them stratigraphically.

ETA: Also, I'm still interested in hearing your response to this:
Fossil assemblage X shows that Australia and Antarctica were at one time attached.

- If Australia had shared assembalge X with North America instead, this would not invalidate the theory of plate tectonics.

- Despite this, assemblage X still provides evidence that Australia was attached to Antarctica and thus that plate tectonics is a real process.

Please tell me which point you disagree with and your reasoning for disagreeing.

I've answered this many times. Every math you have that breaks down at the point where the universe starts or life itself starts. Why, do you believe you have math that actually works to explain those times? If so present it.

You're the one that stated that math declared something as a miracle. You've stated that math makes evolution impossible in other threads. This implies that you have some math that can back up your claim. I've never seen you present any math that backs up your claim that something is impossible. If you'd like I'll create a thread specifically for mathematical arguments against evolution if you're unable to answer here

* Cain fears other tribes away from Adam & Eve, because the earth was already populated.
Of course it was populated, that was what God commanded us to do. However, there is no reason to assume Nod was yet populated.
* The Lord agrees, puts a mark on Cain lest anyone find him kill him.
Right, when you live 1000 years, even if you are in another land, you may meet people.
* Cain went to Nod, finds a wife, has a son named Enoch.
Nope. He took his wife I would assume.


15 And the Lord said to him, “Therefore,[b] whoever kills Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold.” And the Lord set a mark on Cain, lest anyone finding him should kill him.

The Family of Cain
16 Then Cain went out from the presence of the Lord and dwelt in the land of Nod on the east of Eden. 17 And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived

Bingo! He made love to his wife, not found one under a tree in Nod.

Just to fulfill (complete) them.

Wrong, quality always beats quantity. And since a lot of your posts are simply 1! 2! etc. that is an extremely low quality.
