Paleosols

Butting in:
"-Simply asserting that soils don't form in a one or two days doesn't cut it. Not to mention it is a complete misrepresentation. What I want you to expand on are your notions that the specimen ridge paleosols can't form in less than a year,"My guess would be that any of us could find it stated quite firmly that soils can't form in a single year in any of the (hundred?) textbooks on soil science that have been published in the last century or so. Most were likely written by people that actually studied soils.

Scripture does not require vegetation or insects and other like bugs be wiped out by the flood.

I would be interested in your story on how any vegetation other than those few plants that tolerate salt water managed to not be wiped out by the Flood. Start with olive trees, wheat, and grapes.

They came from oceanic areas where their hydrodynamic transport did not allow them to be deposited on land yet.

Trees. From oceanic areas, Yup.

But you've given one, TC:

However, on a dry weight basis, the "root to shoot" ratio is around 20 to 80%, making the top four to five times heavier than the roots.

Other than that, you are fine.

Except I still want to see how to transport those "materials" with the trees, which trees have 80% of their mass above the rootline (according to TC), and get the trees to stand up in the "materials" when the water subsides. The whole scenario makes my head hurt.
