You have alleged that someone made up the geologic column. I asked you who did and how you know. Put up or shut up.Here you go:
[T]he standard geologic column was devised before 1860 by catastrophists who were creationists. Adam Sedgewick, Roderick Murchison, William Coneybeare, and others affirmed that the earth was formed largely by catastrophic processes, and that the earth and life were created. These men stood for careful empirical science and were not compelled to believe evolutionary speculation or side with uniformitarian theory. Although most would be called "progressive creationists" in today's terminology, they would not be pleased to see all the evolutionary baggage that has been loaded onto their classification of strata.

But Adam Sedgwick for one was so distressed by what you and ICR idiot Steve (Bionic) Austin call his "device" that--after decades of fruitless wrestling against the data--he renounced flood geology. How does a man's own supposed fantasy, invented to match and fullfil his predispositions, drive him from his predispositions?
