The Flood: Stratification

This series will examine the arguments used by creationists in an attempt to validate their claims about "Noah's Flood".
"Stratification" analyzes the claims regarding geology creationists make, specifically the layering of sedimentary rock and the erosion of the Grand Canyon.
For more information on why a single flood would not create strata, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sD_7rxYoZY&feature=channel_page.

@SuteUp Creationists look at the Grand Canyon and need to show it could happen rapidly. But the question remains, How did the layerw get there?

The Coconino Sandstone, the third layer down, is from wind blown, desert sands.

We know this from the fossils in it.

There are 44 Distinct layers of DIFFERENT KINDS OF ROCK exposed in the Grand Canyon.

Some are slow growing corals like in the Redwall limestone.

Floods don’t do that.

Not all sedimentary rock is from water! Like ash layers.

Sorry Iwas trying to say, water under pressure released from dams has cut through rock, but something on the scale of the grand Canyon would mean there had to be alot of water under pressure. Nothing is impossible if its within natural reasoning...

[SuteUp]

The Earth doesnt have to have a uniform layer of sediments...there was no even distribution, look at the dover cliffs of England, etc. The area of the Grand Canyon could have been cut out after the flood, after the water had went down, water could have been trapped upstream and when it broke through, it possibly cut out the canyon in the soft sedimentary material, before it became stone...Thats just to say, the canyon was not solid when it was cut out. But water released from dams have cutrock

@gregrutz haha good one

@Kezazah uniformitainism says the PROCESSES are the same. There is more than one layer of coal. How many floods are you making up?

[gregrutz]

@Kezazah What made the Colorado Plateau? Look at what the water cut, 5000 feet of sediments that got raised to 8000 feet above sea level. Some are corals, some are wind blown sand!

[gregrutz]

@Kezazah A flood does not make what we find in nature, distinct layers of different kinds of rock in random order. Floods don't make ash layers, corals, chalk or limestone.

@Kezazah upright through the layers that are "millions of years old"

Only creationists say they layers took millions of years, they didn't. They are millions of years old and so is the tree.
