I have already said that I would grant that some are. Not all. And I don't
think you have proven your case that all are either. Because your model
should have some coals in the deep ocean basin. There are none.

It was another listserv and Brand has only address footprints in the
Coconino, not footprints up and down throughout the geologic column. You
can't generalize what Brand has published on to include everything. And by
the way, no one but Brand and maybe one or two others believe that those
animals were leaving footprints underwater. And it won't work for a flood
explanation because it would mean that the flood waters were no more than 6
inches deep (spiders, scorpions, and small lizards are not very tall).
Hardly the stuff of legends.

so why is there pollen in and meteorite particles with enough density to
only be explained by long periods of deposition. or did the cosmic dust
increase and fall catastrophically during the flood? (see Ulrich Jux, The

It, added to the fish and mammalian distribution are some of the many
issues that Flood geology can't seem to answer. This is what frustrated me
so much over the years and finally, I had to ask, if my interpretation of
the Bible is correct, why does it explain so little?

Some issues can be bought from the CRS. But there is one BIG, BIG
difference between what happens today and what had to have happened in the
flood. If the Cambrian strata is from the flood, all the sedimentary
material above it had to have been eroded off the Precambrian basement
BEFORE the cambrian was deposited. That sediment had to be stored
temporarily somewhere else. It couldn't be stored straight up, because in
order to erode the preflood topography required currents which would move
the eroded material somewhere else. Thus, you are NOT looking at the same
phenomenon then as occurs today. You have to account for the total erosion
of the sedimentary material PRIOR to its deposition in a flood model. This
is a big big problem.

I have not ever seen this in any of the astrophysical articles I have read.
Does anyone else on this list have an explanation? I would suggest the
possibility that Goldsmith is incorrect about the size of the light echos
or the echos he is talking about are from a previous event. Nothing
travels faster than light and to travel 1000 light years in one year would
violate the speed of light.

yes, I do believe that Jesus created the wine instantly. That does not
mean that God does everything instantly. Do you believe that Namaan had to
wash 7 times before his miraculous healing? In that case God didn't act
instantly.

But you forget that Art was citing the inconsistent rhythms in Fossil Lake
which is about 100 miles west of the Lake Gosuite desposits which is what I
am talking about. One can not say that the lack of consistency in the
layers of a very small (>16 miles) diameter lake corresponds to the rhythms
of a lake (Gosuite) which is about 200 miles across. This is like the drunk
looking for his keys under the streetlamp. Fossil lake being small does
have storm laminae (runoff from rain storms which are deposited no more
than 8 miles from shore. The center of Gosuite was far enough from shore
to avoid that problem.

I would say that it takes at least a day for mudcracks to form.
