Loess problems (Biblical Flood provides better explanation for distribution of loess)

CMI ^ | Michael J. Oard

Loess, generally considered to be wind-blown silt, has caused a number of problems for uniformitarism. The major problems are the missing periglacial loess from past ice ages, a lack of a source for the immense volume of loess (covering about 10% of Earth’s land surface) and the lack of eroded loess from past ice ages. How loess is produced has also caused a quandary for uniformitarians, with only fluvial tumbling in mixed-sized sediment producing a large volume of silt. However, the Flood and post-Flood Ice Age provide a more plausible framework in which to explain the volume and distribution of loess. Extreme turbulence in the Flood would have provided the right context for producing the necessary silt, which may have been reworked during the dry, deglacial phase of the Ice Age...

Coyoteman’s complaint was the libelous claim by a particular dipweed that evolution was satanism. By banning Coyoteman and keeping the dipweed, someone has shown which side of that libel they prefer. That he runs this site notwithstanding.

I don’t know about serious but I have a straight face. And save the lobess cause you may need them here soon.

Sheesh, "libelous claims" get flung around on FR everyday, like it or not. Coyoteman wasn't banned because he complained, he was banned because he tried to tell JR what to do on his own forum, after having already taken it upon himself to deputise himself as a gen-yoo-wine forum admin. Satanist-man didn't, which is why satanist-man didn't get the boot.

Terzaghi had a very bad accent he actually said: “lowess”.

[GodGunsGuts]

Nope, it was for comic relief more than anything.

[GodGunsGuts]

Ouch!

Thank you for proving me correct - I was working under the assumption that you simply post what you post because you found it fun - not out of some real sense of belief.

Your answer goes a long way to support my belief.

[mamelukesabre]

Are you trying to tell me that “lowess” is the incorrect pronunciation and that terzaghi proves it?

[GodGunsGuts]

I do find it fun. In fact, I find it exhilarating. Certainly there is no crime in finding that which you are interested in fun and exhilarating?

[editor-surveyor]

Just add it to the already incredibly long list...

[editor-surveyor]

THE CORRECT PRONUNCIATION IS “LUSS”.

Loyss, or Layss

[Dog Gone]

JR doesn’t boot people for trying to police the threads they post. He boots them because he doesn’t like them.

It’s not more complicated than that.

Getting ready to take the Coyote trail I see...

[RegulatorCountry]

They complained, the admins got involved, and coyoteman ended up flinging poo

Yep, finally got his FR Darwin Award, for simian behavior. Nice symbolism.

"Ignoring for the moment that the water cycle makes such a flood impossible"

Water cycle??? The water came from hundreds of miles below the surface, and it had to be essentially 'fresh' water, but very 'hard.' Does the phrase "fountains of the great deep" ring any bells?

The salt came after the "flood." The water was incredibly hot too.

Looks like a road there on the left, Loess Lane?

[editor-surveyor]

Do all of you idiots have a death-wish?

[EternalVigilance]

Super reply, man!

Yours to keep since the picture and caption just throw that pun at us. cheers.
