For what it's worth Peez, I've always found you to be objectionable.......

The young-earth arguments you mention all come from a list by creationist Russell Humphreys--here's a site which debunks each of them in turn:

Also, you might be interested in a back-and-forth I had with AiG about Humphreys' list, which you can see near the middle of p. 2 of <a href="http://www.arn.org/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=000860;p=2" target="_blank">this</a> arn.org thread...I referenced some additional useful websites there as well.

Thanks Jesse. I found some good information in one of your arn posts on sodium/cloride ratios that is helpful in the debunking of Wells' Icons... Chp. 2 that I am working on (and off).

BTW,
Dalrymple, G. Brent,
1991 The Age of the Earth Stanford: Stanford University Press

easily dispells items 3,4,8, and 9 from the list of creationist sillyness at the top of the tread.

And, there are individual articles on just about every list item here:

Oh, and what is "injected sandstone?" DB_Hunter
seems to know, but it is a new one on me, and it seems impossible. I have a short article on "intrusive basalt" and creationist misinterpretation of geology here:

Sand injection is quite common, and is basically fluidisation and remobilisation of previously deposited sands. It can result in sand bodies of tens of meters thick and hundreds of meters wide, injected in surrounding mudstones. They form attractive exploration targets in the North Sea and other areas. A nice example in outcrop is this one:



What this has to do with proving a young Earth is totally beyond me, but then, most creationist arguments are....

(Edited to say: BTW, Dr GH, this example is from Santa Cruz, Monterey Bay - is that anywhere near where you live? )

Also, if you want to know more, a website on sand injection research is <a href="http://www.abdn.ac.uk/geology/profiles/turbidites/injected/isghome.html" target="_blank"> this one from Aberdeen University </a>.

Thank you, LeftCoast, I have always prided myself on my objectionivity.

Do you have a link to where the discussion is? I'd be interested to read it..

Peez

You can find it <a href="http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=6013822&replies=265" target="_blank">here</a>. The topic is long and is currently locked.

Pity, because it looks like Fat_Fett was being spanked pretty hard there near the end.
