Tell me dirtboy, how long did it take to form the following sedimenary layers?

A. If the layers are devoid of any sign of fossil deposits, they could be laid down in a single day by ash from volcanic activity.

B. If every layer has identical fossil deposits from exactly the same biological ecosystem (say, late 20th Century Washington State), they could have been laid down in a single week of floods.

C. If the layers each contains fossil deposits different from the other layers and from different biological eras, it could have taken thousands of years or millions of years depending on how deep the layers are.

Many old earth myths were destroyed with Mt St Helens

No, they were not.

If you excavate the layers at Mount St. Helens back to the pre-ereuption level, you will find nothing other than A and B. You will not find a single fossil of, say, a saber tooth tiger or a mastodon or even a buffalo that might have roamed Washington State before the white man killed them off in the 1800's.

ALL you will find will be biological deposits found in the ecosystem of the late 20th Century in that particular portion of Washington State. And maybe a Ford Pinto.

You’re missing the key point. Because, after the eruption of Mt. St. Helens, geologists learned that a specific extrusive volcanic process related to Stratavolcanoes could happen faster than they had envisioned, it allows the Young Earthers to post a picture of a 25-foot deep formation, and then jam their fingers in their ears and go ‘nyah, nyah nyah’ when asked to explain the extremely varied 6,000 foot geological column of the Grand Canyon with a Young Earth model. They will simply say the flood could have cut it without any kind of rational explaination of the formations that compose it.

If you watch the Discovery channel special on Mt St Helens, you will hear more than once how the gubmint grant parasites were all set to watch the grass grow for 30 years and they found vegetation in one year and fish returned to the lakes and streams shortly thereafter. They also stated( on camera), that the canyons there were carved in one day that they would have thought would have taken a millennium to do.

Talking to evo's is like paper training a dog. You have to rub their noses in it and smear it on their face before they finally get it. Just as "scientists" say we are all gonna die if we don't ride mopeds, every day the snow gets deeper and more record cold days are set all over the world. They are in a panic to get some sort of "treaty" signed to take our money before they next ice age. Scientists with dire warnings about Mt St Helens not "healing" for hundreds or thousands of years was proven wrong in 1 year. It doesn't take thousands or millions of years to get things done in God's Kingdom.
