You belief Surtsey is an anomaly or unique or a special situation. If another Surtsey were to appear today in the same area then similar events would occur. The reference you need to cite will demonstrate that this would not occur and therefore Surtsey would therefore be a true geologic anomaly. If you wish to learn more about geologic/volcanic formation I direct you to the Alaska Volcano Observatory. There are numerous scientist working there that will be pleased to inform you that Surtsey is not unique from a volcanic or geological perspective.
Ah, jeez! Okay, ONE MORE TIME—
Surtsey is NOT an anomaly. It is, however, a special case of landmass formation. Credible scientists cannot extrapolate the development of formations on Surtsey and conclude that ALL other landmasses formed the same way. However, another undersea volcanic eruption that leads to the creation of an island would probably look very much the same.
That’s all. It’s logic, not geology. I’m beginning to think that YECs are the logical equivalent of 9/11 truthers.
