"Have you ever actually *been* to the Central Valley?"

You bet. Even better, I have geodetically mapped the water marks around the rim of the valley.

"Have you ever measured the bedding planes in the formations lining the western edge of the valley?"

You obviously don't understand the issue. This is not about bedded strata; it's about the lasting effect of a body of trapped water having remained at a particular level for a sufficient period of time to erode the 'shore' and thus prove that the event occurred. The valley has a well defined edge to the east, but to the west, the inter-leave of numerous ranges of what is known as the Franciscan melange breaks up the appearance of an edge, but the evidence is nevertheless still there; one only has to follow the particular contours to locate it.

"Do you *seriously* believe they are flood deposits??"

All of the accessible features on the surface of the earth, except for the rifts that have been generated by recent tectonic travel, are in the condition that they are in due to the flood. Flood 'deposits' are the alluvial features.

I can only conclude we are looking at different planets. Geologically, I don't even see how we can continue to meaningfully converse.
