The sediments are the sedimentary rock layers all over the world.

ALL of them? There are all kinds of non-flood sediments. There's the normal slow accumulation of silt in swamplands. There is windblown dust and sand. There is slow silting of lake and sea bottoms. Many of these types of sedimentation leave fossilized signatures of tranquil surface conditions which cannot occur in flood sediments.

Now, we do see flood sediments in the geologic column. They have a certain signature. Most of the geologic column in any given place tends to be non-flood. And the floods we do see are regional events only.

That's the For Dummies summary. For a more comprehensive list of what's wrong with your hopelessly naive formulation, peruse Flood Predictions.

I think you are confusing flood sediments from a river, where there would obviously be current effects, with oceanic flooding, which would be much more like slow deposits. And as I pointed out, the evolutionist account also requires large seas spread over vast areas now 5000 ft. plus in evlevation to account for sedementary rock formation, so I fail to see how evolutionary theories of flooding upon the face of the earth really differ from the Genesis account other than in the timeframe.

I'm really not interested in debating you. You asked where all the record of flooing is and I said where to look.

The answers are in the Bible. If you don't want to believe the Bible, I'm certainly not going to convince you, and everywhere you look you will find reasons to doubt.

Your choice. Enjoy your secularist atheist alliance with Karl Marx and Co.
