Yeah well, gazillions of years is the time frame the gradualists would have us think in. Just consider it as whatever length of time it takes to support the unsupportable inconsistencies of their theory. Sorry; if there was another point there I missed it.

I can tell I'm going to regret showing up here, it's one of THOSE topics...

but you might enjoy this little example of a mountain building theory (I like)

And, as an afterthought -

My favourite mountain in Spitzbergen.

Actually they wouldn't. Geology has a well defined time-line and there is no mention of “gazillions” (I have a feeling you know that). Geology also happens to be a rather robust science that has presented mankind with access to a wide range of resources, and that access is a direct consequence of the very supportable consistencies within geologic theory. Sorry, but I don't think you have any idea what you are talking about.
