Which layers are what, creationists?

The thread title pretty much summed up my question. I'd like to ask the creationists which layers were laid down by the flood, which ones were pre-flood, and which ones were post-flood. I know this may vary from person to person, so I'd like to get a variety of responses.

Here is a link to a page about the geologic column just for some information: http://www.nhm.ac.uk/hosted_sites/paleonet/Column/GeoCol.Html

However, this topic is not about the existance of the geologic column; if you have problems with that, start a new topic.

You Evos always ask Godless, silly questions. The answer is so easy, a five year old could give it to you:

Those that were formed before the Flood are Pre-Flood, while those layed down by the Flood are Post-Flood.

:doh: Any other questions?

ROFL.

I have a feeling the reason is because if we actually had a concrete argument to work with, we could refute it in a sec, without confusion over whether this was pre-flood and whether that was post-flood, etc. (Wait a sec, you can't refute creationism. Damn it.)

But anyway, bumpity bump.

Why do you throw all creatoinists into that one school of thought? Even Theistic evolutionists are creationists as well as GAP and OEC. YEC and creationism are not always interchangeable.

Typically, theistic evolutionists are not considered creationists. I'll do a poll in this forum just to test it out.

Anyway, I know different creationists will have different beliefs. I acknowledged this in my OP, which is why I wanted a variety of responses.

What is your opinion of about where the flood was in the layers? Jurrasic?

Seriously, does any creationist know which layers were pre-flood and which were flood and which were layed during the flood? Supposedly, much of the fossil record was laid down during the flood. I'd like a more specific claim.

They don't because quite frankly, there is no answer*. IIRC, there's even a TrueOrigins article which talks about the fact that creationists haven't pinned down the flood layers.

(* of course, the obvious reason is that the flood never happened)

I have not really tackled this in depth yet. So far, I place the flood somewhere in the Mesozoic, or the Cenozoic.

Adam, then, I would think was in the pre cambrian, cambrian. (Permian at the latest)

LOL!

My "opinion" is that there was no global flood... you should know that by now.... :p
Oh, right, I was looking at the post there, not the personality. You had said

"You Evos always ask Godless, silly questions. The answer is so easy, a five year old could give it to you:

It was sarcasm, got it.
