Thanks for looking into this, James -and providing a link to where you discuss it more. You highlight YEC deception in their manner of photography, and I can’t speak for or against their intent or integrity in that. What interests me a lot more is the actual scientific discussion that informs the formations as seen in the best photographs you provide. It seems to me that there is a general display of plasticity even with the existing fractures that are there. The general visual impression of the phenomena is that much bending occured in addition to any/all fractures that also happen to be present. Am I mistaken to think so?
If that is accurate [that there is bending there], then does that mean that either: A> all the layers were still wet when they deformed? or B> they were already solid and dried out, but still exhibit a plasticity given enough pressure and time? I apologize if this was already hashed out somewhere above --but are the successive (ostensibly bent) layers in question individually dated and known to represent geologically large spans of time between sedimentation? --which would seem to eliminate option A. What does science actually say about these layers?
