Stu, please tell me where I dismissed tectonic movements. It may be part of the evolutionist model, presumably slowly crashing together and causing uplift, but it is part of the flood model also, minus the sloooooooooow !.   And please explain why the flood model only thousands of yr ago should produce an uninterrupted total column rather than the slow and gradual (and occasional catastrophe ) model.          So, stu you are privy to groundbreaking research that will validate your contentions and claims, and finally undo what experimental science has afore to held to. I wonder if that will outlast the former proofs of evolution. If you are right , I shall have to retire from that argument......but your excitement might be a little early don't you think?.
