We are looking at science to confirm what we believe about our origins and meaning.

To get to what you believe, you have to be so selective in what you take from science as to put the result totally at odds with science. That same link cites quite a number of problems with flood geology.

Real geology shows a complex and very long history for geographic features, as per this (hypothetical case) example. Catastrophically formed features may exist, but they're typically sandwiched between and among ordinary sediments that took a long time each to form. (They also represent periods of deposition separated by long periods in which no deposition, probably even erosion, took place.) Your Colorado Plateau redwall limestone is no exception (and AFAIK nobody but ICR thinks it formed in a flood).

Those of us who believe in the God of Creation, sees this the other way around: We believe that, in order for y'all to get at your belief that there is no God who created all, you had to selectively spin science to put the results at odds with God.

"AFAIK nobody but ICR thinks it formed in a flood."

And.....what? That means it didn't form in a flood?

What does AFAIK stand for?
