https://hugefloods.com/Scablands.html “It was the biggest flood in the world for which there is geological evidence,” writes Norman Maclean in A River Runs Through It, referring to the catastrophic deluge that tore through the Pacific Northwest every time Glacial Lake Missoula’s ice dam gave way. “t was so vast a geological event that the mind of …
TRANSPONDER wrote: ↑Tue Jan 04, 2022 10:52 amJust a possible suggestion as to why flood stories are ubiquitous. When you read them, they don’t look much like the Flood story. Again, the question remains why stories would share similar details. “Flood stories pervade hundreds of cultures and there are striking similarities to many of the …

Tectonic plate movement is because of liquid rock. I said the mantle, which was a …
The sedimentary strata folding is the result of the horizontal compression of the recently deposited layers. All the strata that was deposited was still wet and pliable and had not been dried and hardened yet. It is easier to account for all the erosion and folding with a muddy strata than a rock solid strata. …
Given the photographic evidence of canyons, mountains, buttes, and mesas, I maintain we see a general pattern in the sedimentary rock strata that parallel layers were deposited (with relatively little evidence of any geologic activity) and then after the layers were formed we see massive geologic activity (erosion, faults, mountain building). The simplest explanation and …
I will now present all the questions. SG proponents will answer the questions first and then I will present the FM and answer all the questions. And then we will conclude the flood discussion and get back to the main topic of this thread. How did the sedimentary stratas form? Where did the sediment come …

There are two aspects to SG – one is describing things and another is explaining origins. SG …
Surprise Canyon formation was only discovered recently. “George Billingsley of the United States Geological Survey first recognized the Surprise Canyon Formation as a separate stratigraphic unit, belonging to neither the Supai Group or the Redwall Limestone, during reconnaissance geologic mapping of the western Grand Canyon in the mid-1970s.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surprise_Canyon_Formation Outcroppings of the Surprise Canyon are …
And again, even if this couldn’t be explained, why would ‘a Global Flood’ be the default answer? There are many things SG cannot explain. And even if an explanation is offered, they are ad hoc explanations (like any explanation for unconformities). Why is a global flood a better answer than SG? We can deduce it …
Evidence of the parallel layer pattern across a vast area with little geologic activity and then massive erosion are buttes and mesas. Here is Monument Valley in Utah. How did the Mittens form? The entire area must’ve at one time been a complete strata. In other words, the entire area had sedimentary layers that reached …
