So sorry. :-(

I thought you were discussing geological evidence for the flood. If you
follow the discussion between Glenn and me, you will see that the
empirical data regarding depositional environments is subject to various
interpretations, which may be antithetical to one another. Glenn has
his opinion, and I have mine. I would say that our opinions are not
equally valid, though. The opinion (interpretation) which makes the
most relaxed fit with the available data is the one which is more
valid. And arguments based upon data are subject to change as
additional data becomes available.
