Re: Tectonic bashing and crashing
You are right I have no idea what you are talking about or how it applies to the topic. No idea how the orogeny explains anything. And again, if the rifting didn't cause the deformation, which occurred so dramatically to the entire stack and not just up to the Jurassic, what did?
It didn't happen to the entire section. If you look carefully at the actual folds shown in the diagram,you would see that the folded (not just tilted) rocks are pre-Devonian. As I mentioned before, they were deformed in the early Paleozoic by the Caledonian Orogeny that occurred when northern Europe collided with eastern Canada and Greenland.
Oh ... right .... that couldn't have happened (according to Faith)!

Re: Large Igneous provinces not a problem?
I can't accept such an explanation of something in the past no matter how logical it seems since it can't be proved, it can only be hypothesized, and there have to be mitigating factors that you are not taking into account.
It must be a personal issue then. Most people have no problem accepting that the aggregate volcanism on he planet had to have happened over a very long period of time. The evidence Pollux has given you is that there is life on earth.
I'll stick to what I know I can prove.
I suppose that would be quite easy if you ignore a whole lot of data.

Re: Large Igneous provinces not a problem?
I'm sure other creationists have or will produce whatever is required to explain it.
Well, they've had a lot of time to work on it and from my direct experience they have only failed miserably.

Re: Floodists problems
Because the Americas had to travel some 3000 miles from Europe and Africa in about 4500 years to get to their present position.
And so it obviously didn't happen that way.
And actually, your time-frame is less than that since we have been able to observe the planet reliably for at least a thousand years and no CPT has ever been noticed.
There are problems with that long time in lots of other ways though, and you guys who so blithely conjure all those millions of years don't bother with trying to understand it all from the point of view of the God who made you and made it all.
So, you're not going to tell us how old ages are problems in 'lots of other ways'? You realize that you just made an unsupported assertion?

Re: Floodists problems
What would you expect to see in a thousand years if CPT was correct?
In the sense of all volcanism happening in that time-frame?
A sterile planet.

Re: How did the flood produce wind blown cross bedded sand dunes
They aren't wind blown.
Another unsupported assertion.
Please make your case.
Edited by edge, : No reason given.

My concluding remarks are a simple suggestion for Faith.
Here is a link to the GeoChristian blog. It's a bit dated, but it explains in Christian terms, why YEC geology does not make sense.
Geology – GeoChristian
Why not read the whole thing and come back refreshed and maybe a new outlook?
