then ALL OF A SUDDEN CRASH BANG the climate on the whole planet just up and changes and NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT for another long slow period of Sl-o-o-o-o-w accumulation.
Faith, now I'm no expert but if the geology spans millions of years then a "sudden" change in the strata can represent thousands of years. These processes work on relative scales. Plus it has been clearly shown (and observered) that volcanic eruptions can both lay huge amounts of sediment AND alter global climate in a matter of weeks. Not all geological process run at the same rate.
In any case, your objections are are ludicrous given your complete lack of expertise in this field and refusal to listen to those who have devoted their careers to its study.
I find it breathtaking that you have the audacity to attempt to debunk an entire branch of science from a position of close to total ignorance!

so TOTALLY discrete that makes it certain it can't have happened that way. For this to happen once or twice, sure, but over and over again. Too silly for words.
Not according to Geologists. You are not a Geologist.

I know, it's totally ludicrous of me to look at the things and have my own assessment of whether it could have happened that way or not. That's OK. I'm used to the accusation.
But you can't make an informed assessment because don't know what you ARE looking at! Furthermore, anything you do see has to fit with the Bible! You won't listen to the views of those who ARE informed because you reject their findings on religious grounds.
In this instance "making your own assessment" amounts to nothing more than the maintenance of ignorance.

I've given your views on Geology about as much thought as you have put into them.
None.
I've given your views on Geology about about much time as you have spent studying the subject.
None.
I've given your views on Geology about about much time as you have spent out in the field or teaching students.
None.
Repeat after me:
I. Am. Not. A. Geologist.
