Fossils: Evidence of evolution or evidence of a global flood?

And who was it that insulted the faith and integrity of everyone that does not agree with his interpretation of Genesis 1-3?

@r_speir

I can conclude one thing about you people with all certainty.

You believe everything you read except the Bible.

Is that this post? That wasn’t @r_speir — it was somebody else. Unless he’s sock puppeting, and I can’t see what he’d have to gain from doing that…

@jammycakes:

You are right … for some reason I associated that bit with @r_speir. (My apologies to you Mr. R_).

You seem to be confusing a true false accusation with truth. This statement will not be retracted:

You believe everything you read except the Bible.

@r_speir
And no statement could be further from the truth. I believe what I read in the Bible. I do not interpret what I read in the same manner as you do. Good thing the Bible doesn’t say that translation or interpretation is inspired. Well maybe in your mind it does.

With a life span of approx 1.5 years for these organisms and given that I have approx 1500 years from the Creation to the Flood I can take a very conservative population growth rate and work backwards from 1 quadrillion to find out how many of these creatures God created in the single localized area covered in the article.

The problem is that you are claiming these are flood deposits, not deposits that were created prior to the flood. These deposits are sitting on top of what YEC’s claim are flood deposits. This doesn’t work. These sediments require very calm water to settle out. They are also not contaminated by any terrestrial material. These can’t be flood deposits, and neither can the sediments below them. There simply isn’t enough time on a young Earth to create these deposits, and this is before we get to the whole fossil sorting mess that you guys can’t explain.

Also, can you point to anywhere on Earth where these sediments are being produced at these rates? From what I have read, places like the Caribbean are only seeing a few mm of limestone produced each year. It
