Re: OE model vs YEC model

Meanwhile, it IS a fact that the fossils occur in a predictable order, whatever the correct interpretation of that may be, and since that is true they can be used to locate rocks.
The obvious answer is that God personally sorted the fossils so that we'd be able to find the oil.

But you seem to reject the possibility of a miracle at the same time as you reject the science.

Re: Oh yes they are FLAT FLAT FLAT.

What happens to the rocks after they are deposited is irrelevant to the point I'm making about their original flatness.
I, for one, have no idea what point you're trying to make about the original flatness. How does that support YE over OE?

Is there a difference I'm overlooking?
YECs can only find oil by using the instructions given by real geologists. That's like you or me finding information by using instructions given by Google; it doesn't mean we could write the Google software.

... to be a geologist and study the rocks is all it takes to learn what's necessary to finding oil, and that doesn't involve OE theory.
If that was true, the oil companies could save a lot of money by hiring high school dropouts instead of geologists and just giving them a Finding Oil for Dummies handbook.
​
In a way, the OE theory is incidental to finding oil - but to find oil it is necessary to understand how the rocks formed, how they changed after they were formed, etc. Finding oil comes from that understanding and so does the realization that the rocks must be old.
