Oh ya, so you gonna back peddle on this or should I ask one more time?
Please provided evidence where a MODERN, PRACTICING, EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGIST, is promoting this debunked theory? Note the emphasis on modern. Alot has changed in science over the centuries. Any answers?

take the Discovery Institute. You don't have to make a statement of faith to be a fellow there, to my knowledge. I agree. I don't think you have to make a faith statement to be a fellow at the Discovery Institute, but the Wedge document which I presented previously clearly demonstrates that the organization is political.

Different fossils are found in different sediments because they represent life from different times and depositional environments. Different environments leave different rocks at different parts of the geo column.
If you have read Gould I doubt you got much from it...he gets pretty thick sometimes where geology is involved. ABB

Then please retract your claim. Mods, why is this guy not banned, like Faith? He has no peer-review study to back him up!!!! Why do I smell trees? Willow trees.

Different fossils are found in different sediments because they represent life from different times and depositional environments. Different environments leave different rocks at different parts of the geo column. I know that much. The point is that the idea is absolutely absurd that these strata of utterly different sediments with their utterly different fossil collections could represent "depositional environments" stacked one on top of another without the slightest transitional zone between them. That's my whole point. The whole idea of depositional environments lasting millions of years is what is absurd, fantastic and ridiculous. No gradations in the fossil contents within these depositions that were laid down over millions of years, etc. No, there's no way to prove it, it's just obviously absurd on the face of it. All evolutionism has is elaborated tales of these "environments" no real evidence for any of it. The actual evidence goes against it, the uniformity of the deposit, the differences between them, the sudden transition from one to another, the absolutely completely different fossil contents, the lack of gradation in those contents within the stratum. All this evidence contradicts the ToE. But it can't be proved or falsified. It's all a matter of constructing plausible scenarios. This one is ridiculously implausible but because there is no objective proof possible, it will be clung to in the face of its obvious absurdity against all objections.
If you have read Gould I doubt you got much from it...he gets pretty thick sometimes where geology is involved. It's been years and it was mostly his popular columns and articles I think. I kept trying to get a grip on the proof for evolution and all I was getting, from Gould too, was these imaginative TALES, these SCENARIOS. It was maddening. Just like the idea of "depositional environments."

But of course if you actually go back and read those threads.
Deposition and Erosion of Sediments and
Peanut Gallery for the Faith/Jazzns Great Debate You will find that these issues had been discussed and rebuttals were left waiting. Anyone curious can find a decent description of depositional environments and why the geologic column form layers. The primary point of contention before the termination of the discussion was about not having examples of unconformities of drastic degree. In both some of the final posts in the debate and the peanut gallery some great examples of ancient topography including rivers, canyons, and islands was demonstrated. If anyone has any questions with regard to Faith's incredulous statements about the geologic column and sedimentation I am sure there are many (including myself) who would love to discuss them with you in an appropriate thread on that topic. Because of Faith's abandonment of the original debate I will simply bring the rebuttal to wherever she choose to continue to make the empty statements of disbelief as support of her utterly untenable position.

I searched for it. The whole topic has disappeared.

If they cannot provide peer-reviewed papers to verify that people only reject evolution based on a desire for political power, religion, insecurity, stupidity or whatever other claim is out there, then shouldn't these same people that make such claims be banned? Why isn't robinroham banned yet? I wasn't making a scientific claim. It was just an opinion of my own. Creationism strikes me as political in nature. It's not the sort of claim that can be scientifically investigated.

No it's there - just go to the great debate forum and scroll down.
It's just as Jazzen describes it.

It wasn't in the great debate forum. It was a topic I introduced, entitled "Does microevolution logically include macroevolution?" I couldn't find it.

You may not have found it but it's probably still around. We do not delete threads.

Clark here's a great example of the powerful work that creationist scientists are doing:

You stated: "They don't care about the truth."
Ribinrohan, the mega-ToE makes more sense to me than, say, inflationary theory compensating for big-bang-theory-fallacies: (Like, Farthest stars = 15-18 billion light-years away ---> how did those stars get 15-18 billion light-years away so fast? --> ??????Voila, Presto: Inflationary theory that the *pre-universe* (or something) expanded exponentially faster than the speed of light) Have you seen all those advanced equations and calculus, Robinrohan, supporting inflationary theory? Who pays these *science researchers*? Unfortunately, "naturalistic evidence" doesn’t really seem to explain: If I were to die today would I know for certain if I’d go to Heaven or Hell. Such *truth* weighs heavy on my mind. And, if sub-quarkian matter *really* evolved into human geniuses and/or Christs, I’d have to lose my religion. Thus, science for science sake seems (to me) destructive to any *faith and love* typology I might cherish. I’d also scratch out eternal justice and salvation from my wish list. In sum, Mega-ToEs seem perhaps a stumbling-block both (1) to evolutionary sciences (i.e., stellar evolution, above) and (2) to some persons’ faith in God and Salvation (per se).
