Tectonic plate movement is because of liquid rock. I said the mantle, which was a …
I don’t believe it can be contested that Jesus Christ is the most influential person in all of human history. As Christians, what we believe is Jesus Christ is our Lord and we should follow his teachings and example. And it is through the Bible that we primarily get our knowledge of his life and …

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. …
To recap the arguments presented so far… I first addressed some misconceptions of the Bible: The Bible does not need to be “perfect”. Just like witnesses in a case are not all thrown out because they have conflicting details, we should likewise view the authors of the Bible as a set of witnesses in a …
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 …
