Different strata with different fossils showing that the distribution of biological life has changed substantially over time.

Trilobites down there, dinosaurs there, mammals up there.
Which is pretty much like a world wide flood would predict. Sea life first land life last.

Would you like to try again?

Limestone is to pure. It must have formed fast during some sort of bloom. If it took as long as the OE's claim it would have been loaded with junk.

Then explain how it evolved through a process containing random chance.

Can you do that atheist?

Sandstone formations. Some of the sandstone strata exposed at the grand canyon continue across the USA.

This is way too vague. Can you explain specifically how these formations show that there was a worldwide flood?

Even if that made sense (Why is sea life dying at all? From some rain on the surface?) it's still grossly inaccurate. I didn't say 'sea life' and 'land life'.

Whales are mammals. They live only in the sea. They are only found way up at the top where all mammals are found.

Would you like to try again?

No, my first point still stands. Would you like to try at all?

There is much to say about it..and this forum is inadequate to explain all of it. But, scientist have looked at the enormous size of the sandstones as well as the deposition of the grains of sand and see angular direction with associated speed and determine they didn't settle over long times. That's just one point of many. As you being an atheist I understand it will be impossible for you to put down your text book and actually look for the truth.

I'm not really going to go over every aspect of sandstones as i still have a lot to learn.
That's a reasonable position to take, but given that you acknowledge that you have a lot to learn, should you be making assertions that are both central to your argument and incorrect? You said this: "Some of the sandstone strata exposed at the grand canyon continue across the USA." (Post #42)

The Tapeats sandstone, which was the subject of your link, does not "continue across the USA". None of the sandstone present at the Grand Canyon "continues across the USA". If you have evidence to the contrary please provide it.

The link you gave, to an article in Creation Research Society Quarterly, is interesting, but it doesn't appear to address one stumbling block if you wish to identify the "rapid deposition" with The Flood. There is no mention of how the many hundreds of feet of non-flood sediments wound up lying over the Tapeats sandstone.

In Summary: the sandstone does not, as you claim, span the USA. Identifying the sandstone as a product of The Flood, ignores the many non-flood sediments lying above it.

How about something from a peer reviewed journal, rather than a Paint Shop graphic my grandson could create. Or do wish to avoid serious discussion?

Hey, it is what it is. I don't really care if you don't believe it.
You made an assertion. It is your responsibility to support that assertion, or withdraw it. Alternatively you can be thought of as irresponsible. Your choice.

It’s also worth noting that animals like plesiosaurs - marine reptiles - aren’t found alongside whales and dolphins, despite being just as seaworthy as them. They disappear right around the same time the dinosaurs did.

Same thing with animals like pterodactyls, which were probably just as capable flyers as any bird, are always found lower than them. Oh, and flightless birds are always found higher than birds that can fly, which would be weird if the column was showing the order of death.

And a bunch of other inconsistencies. The idea that the geologic column is ordered by death from the flood is one of my favorite creationist canards, because it’s so clearly wrong if you think about it for five seconds.

I did support it. Prove me wrong.
The material you offered was not support. An appropriate peer reviewed article from a reputable journal is necessary to support your assertion. Your reluctance/inability to provide this is duly noted. The conclusion is that you are parroting questionable data from creationist sources that - by your own admission - you do not properly understand. Your aims would better served if you educated yourself on such topics properly before posting.
