Having just read thru most of this thread it is apparent to me that Faith is working under the assumption that the "geologic column" shown is geo textbooks is exactly what is found uniformly, all over the world.
She needs to be shown that the "geologic column" is nothing more than a
representation of how differing layers from differing parts of the world all add up.
She seems to be working under the assumption that the world is composed of straight uniform layers that exist everywhere and that when paleosols are mentioned you are talking about topsoil, as it exists now, that can be suspended in water and deposited as something you still recognize as topsoil.
Could one of our wonderful geologists give a layman's account of what is shown by the "geo column" and what is actually found in real life?
