From Discovery Channels Making of a Continent - shows how the delta formed by a series of failed rift valleys caused by continental drift.

this proves the earth isnt old. the mississipi drainage basin would have washed out to sea long ago if it was 100s of millions of years old. the world is only 6000 yrs old and the misspi river only about 4000 yrs old

@iorixs To quote a famous philosopher "You are dumber than a retarded quahog" go back to reading fiction!

[iorixs]

@Kaplah1 wow. why so hostile. sedimentologists have measured the rare of erosion and there just isnt enough of it to account for millions of yrs. just a simple fact

[Kaplah1]

@iorixs Not hostile just cant deal with religious nuts that think the world is 6K - produce the publication you cite. Ever hear of carbon dating, fossil record, pangea, the ice age, orogeny, big bang? Gotta go the tooth fairy is coming.

@iorixs You can believe in god without being a creationist i.e. a total dimwit. How many things look objectively like what they are not? What do you think about fossiles?

[iorixs]

there is consequence to our actions good or evil. moral relativism is the result of the materialist philosopher's "Godless" universe. their moto is they would rather reign in hell than serve in heaven. copernicanism, darwinism, freudianism and ancient earth cosmology all flow from this - to usurp God's throne. this is democracy. you cant choose your leader when God is absolute sovereign. objectively the world just doesnt look old. billions of yrs would have leveled the continents

@iorixs You want to troll me or what? There are not sandstorms all over the world. What are your rates for yearly erosion then? But even in your theory you won't face judgement day. Judgement in the form of that all land is flattened and below sea level.

[iorixs]

@CallahadX how much erosion has damaged the pyramids you think since they were first photographed. one sand storm would remove more than a millimeter of material i would think. the world isnt old. God is near and no one can escape his judgment

[CallahadX]

@iorixs Erosion in figures is 1/10 mm per year. Now do your calculations again and pay regard to plate tectonics and as a result volcanoes.

[iorixs]

@iorixs This problem has been highlighted by a number of geologists who calculated that North America should have been levelled in 10 million years if erosion has continued at the average rate
