Re: Why is the Old Earth interpretation impossible?
Why don't you deal with what I have shown over and over again, that if any of the strata had been exposed at the surface for the long years you assume, they would show disturbances ragged enough to be seen all the way across the canyon. You are just repeating the party line about the kind of erosion that has to be seen close up that I've answered a million times already.
And gthe idea that there wre successive risings and falling of land or water is phhyiscally impossible.

Re: Why is the Old Earth interpretation impossible?
That isn't actually interbedding, they're lying.
Could you explain what is actually going on in those layers? I was confused by the image as well - if that is indeed Cambrian rock on top of Mississippian rock it disproves the whole geological column and the old earth

Re: Why is the Old Earth interpretation impossible?
Not if the Cambrian rock was trusted over the Mississippian rocks via faulting.

Re: Why is the Old Earth interpretation impossible?
Of course it's not problematic for him since he's willing to embrace the establishment view I've been arguing against from the beginning without bothering to address or even read or think about anything I've said. It's just physically impossible for the column of strata to be sometimes under water and sometimes exposed at the surface, and for LONG periods supposedly exposed at the surface too, which as I've argued at tedious length would show disturbances to the layers visible across the whole canyon for crying out loud.
DEAL WITH MY ARGUMENTS. They make yours irrelevant.

Re: Why is the Old Earth interpretation impossible?
Is this the kind of erosional layers you are expecting to see everywhere even from a distance?

Re: Why is the Old Earth interpretation impossible?
Yes and I drew my own illustration very similar to that one years ago to explain what I jmeant about what SHOULD be seen if the long years of exposure actually happened, that was posted here but probably isn't any more. Nobody took it seriously as usual. So are you now saying that's the way it happened in reality? If it did where's the photo to prove it?

You pick a picture that demonstrates the tectonic distortion

Re: Why is the Old Earth interpretation impossible?
So are you now saying it did?
No, it obviously did not happen that way. I am not sure everyone understands what you are trying to say about this, so I saw this pic and realized "that's what she is saying should have happened" so this is for clarification.
So you are saying that the Grand Canyon should look like this if it took millions of years to form?

Re: Why is the Old Earth interpretation impossible?
Amazing how you're willing to quote out of context. The evasion and subterfuges to avoid my points are amazing. One would almost think you all KNOW I'm right but just refuse to acknowledge it.

Re: Why is the Old Earth interpretation impossible?
I actually think the effect would be a liot worse than that, but yes, I'm saying that if AN INDIVIDUAL LAYER was actually exposed at the surface for long periods of time it would be eroded way beyond the actual erosion seen, enough to be visible across the whole canyon. Which it is not. Nor is it visible in that cross-section, a mere graphic as someone tried to dismiss it, but if the individual layers had been as disturbed as they would have been under the scenario that requires them to have bgeen exposed for millions of years (hey ten years would distort them more than we see) I'm sure the artist would have not drawn those nice neat parallel layers.

Those aren't arguments. They're assertions. False ones.

You said that there was no tectonic distortion, and that I'd shown you a photograph of it. Feel free to supply context.

I think you were right when you said that I'd shown you a photograph of the tectonic distortion, and wrong when you said there wasn't any.

Re: Why is the Old Earth interpretation impossible?
I usually give you credit for at least being able to understand what a person is saying. The best I can say now is that I was wrong, because the only alternative is to figure you are intentionally lying.
