“There is no "creationist" explanation of the layering of fossils that is routinely observed.” [excerpt]

No, there's not, and its called hydrologic sorting.

Errr, oops.

“In fact, the story of Noah and the flood should INSURE a good, big layer of sediment with EVERYTHING in it.” [excerpt]

Um, no.

Catastrophic floods are known to cause layering. (and phenomenally accelerated erosion)

"No, there's not, and its called hydrologic sorting..."

BZZT! Wrong answer, but thanks for playing. The action of hydrologic sorting would account for EXCEPTIONS in the fossil record, NOT ITS ENTIRTY. What this means is that for a 10000 year old Earth, Dinos and Rabbits and Sabretooths and People would have been around AT THE SAME TIME, and IN GENERAL, their remains would be co-mingled. Certain areas might exhibit hydrologic sorting, BUT NOT THE WHOLE PLANET. You must account for the PREPONDERENCE of evidence with a mechanism that is ACTIVE IN ALL PLACES since the creation of the Earth. Additionally, Hydrologic sorting would treat bones and fossils of EQUAL DENSITY the same, thereby SORTING BY DENSITY, NOT SPECIES. Nope, Hydrologic sorting won't cut it.

"Catastrophic floods are known to cause layering. (and phenomenally accelerated erosion)..."

Sure, Earthly floods where water STORED UP someplace RUSHES to SOME OTHER PLACE that is lower. In the "miraculous" global flood, WATER WAS EVERYWHERE. There was no place for it to RUSH TO. The best analog would be to check out the ocean floor. It's built in LAYERS for the most part. Again, you have to account for the PREPONDERENCE of evidence, not cite something that can account for EXCEPTIONS, and expect that to be in force EVERYWHERE.

And that is an actual argument, with actual points to discuss, without name calling. The "BZZT" was meant as playful banter.
