No Flood
Is it a fact that all those fossils were deposited there when the mountains were covered with water?
The mountain was never covered by water, ICANT. The sea bed was covered by water. The sea bed was then pushed up above sea level by tectonic activity. The rock fractured and eroded as it rose. The rock that remained, if forced up high enough, is the mountain.
This is the important part. The water was not miles higher: The rock was miles lower.

While we're here, anything to say about your behavior over on the For the Benefit of ICANT - About lightning? It was, like, for your benefit, and stuff and junk. How about some closure, ICANT?

Mischaracterize Much
Are you trying to tell me there are no mountains in the ocean?
All the mountains at the bottom of the ocean are volcanic and have no fossils.
I am glad that you would admit that the fossils got in and on the mountains when they were covered with water.
There weren't any mountains getting fossils in and on them. There was a sea bed being buried by sediments being washed from the land. The sediments bury the shallow ocean community: reefs, clams and plankton ooze. Nearly nothing bigger then a pinhead gets fossilized in the depths of the ocean; sedimentation is too slow.
BTW they did not have to be at the bottom of the ocean, they only had to be covered by water.
This is one of your problems: you make half statements. What exactly do you mean by this? If I point out that giant freshwater lakes tend to be geologically short lived you'll reply with "Who said anything about fresh water lakes?" Not you. You don't actually say anything.
Another important bit: The mountains were never covered by water. They didn't exist when the water was there. The water had been gone for millions of years before the mountains existed.
Not to sound like your wife, but as long as you're satisfied I guess we're done.


See ya' off Cuttyhunk, I'm going fishin'.

California: Flood Free Zone
San Andreas Fault
NO STRATA
Did the flood not make it to California, Faith?
It is known there are geologic formations that do not have strata. That does not imply that there are not geological formations that do have strata. You need to deal with the many images from Mars that do have strata. That can not be done by showing us images from Mars that do not have strata.

Re: Geology of the real world OR is it geo-fantasy???
Again, these rocks are certainly of volcanic origin, end of story.
Would it kill you* to look up the difference between "volcanic" and "plutonic"?
volcanic |vlˈkanik; vl-| adj.
of, relating to, or produced by a volcano or volcanoes.
volcano |vlˈkānō; vl-|
noun ( pl. -noes or -nos)
a mountain or hill, typically conical, having a crater or vent through which lava, rock fragments, hot vapor, and gas are or have been erupted from the earth's crust.
plutonic |ploōˈtnik| adj.
1 Geology relating to or denoting igneous rock formed by solidification at considerable depth beneath the earth's surface.
Well hello there Kitsune, your responses are +++as such+++
Would it kill you* to use [qs] & [/qs] to make quote boxes?
by who I will consider
Would it kill you* to recognize the object of a preposition?
* Please say yes; please say yes; please say yes.
