"What utter rubbish. YEC has the advantage of piggybacking on the research that has been done over the last 200 years by real scientists, it is not starting from scratch."
--And how many are piggy backing on how much material? Maybe you are not aware of how few YECists researchers we have? The number also drastically lowers when considering those who actually hold the qualifications to carry out in-depth research queries and promote their deductions in attempts to tense the string around an overall consensus. Now I am quite young and a highly vernal scientist, but I would sustain that my intellectual evolution is developing quite nicely.
"Yet using all of the modern tools and techniques available to them YECs have no idea which strata in the geological column area result a a biblical flood."
--No, We have a very good idea, you should read the article. For me it is a deduction from two possibilities. We just require an extremely wide analysis of the characteristics & time to form hypotheses.
"I think TC's "productive cerebral attitude" is actually self-delusion."
--I really don't have much interest when you spout prejudicial drivel about me lacking a cerebral mindset. The assertion at this point would go no further than sophistry. Of course the resolution to this would not be to continue from this corner, but to come back to it at a latter time following multiple sessions of discussion.
"Surely his efforts with Joe Meert might have made him aware of the huge deficiencies in the YEC scenario compared with the detailed, consistent model provided by conventional science."
--You should go back to that thread and read our last statements, I did not dismiss the fact that it is a great problem indeed for the model which I spend my time researching. The discrepancy Meert illustrated regarding sea-floor bathymetry and its mathematical correlation is indeed a desideratum requiring attention for flood geomechanics.
