Old earth accounts gladly allow for floods...
Old earth accounts, well, they account for everything.
Yet here you are using a computer which is based on several technologies and disciplines that were once considered heretical.

Now that is just silly.
The Gulf of Mexico was formed in large part during the Triassic with continental rifting bringing the ocean over sedimentary rock layers. Thus it’s not typical of a spreading mid ocean ridge. The sedimentary layers are where the oil is. A basaltic ocean floor is typical of the Atlantic and Pacific and large portions of the Caribbean. Plate tectonics quite adequately explains these ocean floor types without a cataclysmic flood four thousand years ago.
Creation “Scientists” are willful liars.
I agree. It is.
By the way, folks: that article is basically incoherent from any point of view, and is missing a lot of information to support anything close to what the writer is advocating. It doesn’t even mention depth from the surface of the earth. All it mentions is depth below water surface, which is meaningless to whatever point he is trying to make.
This article is par for the course for anything from this “institute.” I am obviously not a young earth believer, but citing anything from this “institute” or this author does not help your case with anyone. Their writing is poor, lacking in documentation, doesn’t reference any other publications than their own (usually), is unsound scientifically, and is basically a joke. I have followed the author and this “institute” for years, and it just gets worse, not better.

No theory at all. Leave some wood in muddy water for a couple seasons. Then come back and see what’s happened to it. People used to make sharpening stones this way.
Speaking of petrified wood, how do you suppose a tree would stand there for millions of years while the sediments slowly built up around it? And what of deep sediments that have heaves in them? Why did the “older” layers not crack?
And what happens to dead flesh when it’s left in the wilderness? Does it remain intact while the sediments slowly build up over it to fossilize it?
drivel, but really pretentious drivel
they will get contributions, offerings for this balderdash
Perhaps this sand was kicked up or created by the Chicxulub asteroid strike. Perhaps it was a tsunami backwash from gulf beaches into the new cavity?
A great place to visit.
