Also, the conclusion that these observations favor a short time frame
does not follow from the few observations mentioned above. The
deposition of marine limestones occurs in a fairly narrow
range of environmental conditions, which do not seem likely to be present
in the event of the Flood.
That brings up another quetion I have. When I was in school some 35
years ago, there was not a good explanation for the deposition of massive
limestones. What are the conditions favorable for deposition of marine
limestones?
Do you have any evidence or time frame for what is "slow" or "quick?"
Don't forget that "quick" in geologic time is just about anything
below 50,000 years for the Phanerozoic.
Quick in my mind would be weeks or maybe months - something that would
give support to the YEC model.
What might have caused the waters to slosh or rush back and forth like
tides?
Don't know.
I won't be able to respond to any future emails on this topic for a while
because I have too much to do with end of the semester work and upcoming
field work.
Have fun. Thanks for the exchange.
Bill
