JimSEA - your misguided viewpoint has no explanation for all of the limestone worldwide - only a global flood can account for the vast amounts of limestone presently.

Furthermore, you yourself contradict your ‘contradictions’ in the same post no less!

Micro-evolution is all you have and even that is actually devolution.

Most limestone is life based. It is deposited in strata formed of shell, coral, algal and fecal debris in shallow waters. Other limestone is a chemical sedimentary rock formed by the precipitation of calcium carbonate. Both means require long periods of time to form and the fact that it is found in distinct strata rather than in some mishmash of rock types as would be the case after an event as catastrophic as a great flood is itself evidence against the flood. Take the chalk in the white cliffs of Dover. They are formed of tiny coccoliths laid done over eons and are still bedded in the orientation in which they were deposited. In other words, they died and settled to the ocean floor and were not spun around in some flood.

The amount of biological limestone is in itself testament to long ages of formation. No to mention marble that shows the some limestones formed, were subducted to some depth and experienced great pressure and heat then were thrust up by plate movements and eventually rock layers on top of the marble eroded to expose the marble.

No, the amount of limestone is evidence of the millions of years life had been around. It’s irrefutable evidence against a young earth.
