Thanks for responding,

Water pressure doesn't work like that. Considering that the ocean floor is fairly flat under thousands of feet of water, your theory doesn't hold up to modern scrutiny.

I was speculting, it sounds like you have proven this experiment to be true. Dangerous evolutionary logic.

And that sand is deposited somewhere else, and eventually forms sandstones of a structure that can be seen in the stratigraphic record. Which means that a different process other than the Flood put them there.

Oh, poppycock. There are similar sedimentary layers forming around the world as we speak. Alluvial deposits in the Rockies. Deltaic deposits in the Mississippi Delta. Bar sandstones on barrier islands. Reef limestones in the tropics (try and reconcile Permian reef structures with the Flood). Oolitic limestones in the Bahamas. Deep water marine sediments all over ocean basins.

And we find massive fossil beds were animal life was quickly buried and preserved in the modern sediments. NOT.

Nah, I'd get a failing grade for improper application of the scientific method - namely, forming a theory and then looking for evidence that only supports it, rather than looking at the evidence and forming the theory that best deals with the evidence.

Denial of the truth is unbecoming. Familiarize yourself with some of the real science that has been recently conducted in attempts to explain the evidence more scientifically.

Uh, dude, you can't even get the topic straight. That has nothing to do with evolution - you're talking Structural Geology now. And, since you're speculating, I suggest you try to provide some data to back up your points, or else your speculation is nothing more than bullbiscuits.

Oh, that's a good one. You've got all kinds of shells in those modern sediments, all kinds of tracks and, sometimes, tree stumps where barrier islands covered up swamps - but they're not fossils yet, because the sediments, being modern, haven't been lithified yet. But if you care to examine fossil barrier island sandstone, you'll find fossils.

Denial of the truth is unbecoming.

Then why do you engage in it?

No thanks, I get enough nonsense from the Clintons, I don't need any more. I study Geology on the side, I don't automatically accept evolutionary logic (or other aspects of geological theory, the history of plate techtonic theory being the classic example), so I'm naturally skeptical - but theory and research needs to meet a certain threshhold of veracity for me to bother with it. What you are peddling here comes nowhere close. You are entitled to your faith, and I won't belittle you for it, but when you project that faith into pseudoscience and present it for consideration, I'm gonna whump it up one wall and down the other. As I would for purported mainstream science that is shoddily done, such as global warming.
