You have stated 3 things that can happen in circumstances such as a flood. The problem with this is that there is no geological evidence of a global flood.
I begin to think I'm behind the times. Evogoggles could slip off occasionally. I think you have implants.

I was asking you why the fossil record displays such remarkable and precise sorting across the world when creationism demands that fossils are the result of a global flood.
It isn't difficult to superimpose patterns, particularly when one is allowed to take anything that does not match & claim it actually does match, or just turn an evogoggled eye to it.

Many of your other statements here imply that you simply believe that the sorting of the fossil record is a pack of lies. You will not believe, for example, that pterosaurs are found in the same layers as dinosaurs (which would no doubt cause discomfort, as presumably the pterosaurs would have flapped for the hills during the flood) unless someone can find you both fossils next to each other.
I will believe what is actually found. I don't accept empty assertions as evidence. Seems like you define "together" as "in layers that are assigned the same evoage". That doesn't mean peanuts. As you are opposed to proper historical investigations, it is not a surprise at all that you'd fault me for requiring verification.

I have a bit of advice for you: look up some information on dating methods. You know, that subject that you said you don't believe in either, even though you don't know anything about it. That's of course an easy way to get around awkward evidence -- completely ignore it.
Don't try to confuse me. First you want me to ignore evidence then you don't. Make up your mind.

I do still have some questions about the plants, yes. If the plants died in the flood, what did the herbivores eat when they came off the ark? How did they survive until seeds germinated? How did the seeds germinate if they were buried in all that sediment from the flood? For that matter, what did the pollinating bees do during the flood? Did Noah keep some hives?

And a few more questions, since you asked. There are a lot really. What did the carnivores on the ark eat? What did they eat when they got off the ark? How did Noah stop them from eating other animals before and after? How did animals from all over the world make it to the ark, even if they could not swim but had to cross water? What happened to the millions of known species of bacteria and viruses; did the humans and animals on the ark act as living hosts for them all? Yet none of them died from illness?
You omit the serious issue of Mrs. Noah spending so much time confined with three daughters-in-law. Yikes!

Your premise is faulty. I still have no obligation to debunk all bunk. Spamming weak objections just doesn't have any impact on history. You need something meaningful. If your "we've slandered Woodmorappe" argument was all that strong I don't expect you'd have dropped it. Not that you've abandoned it - it's just waiting to cycle back around next time you think its utter lameness has been forgotten.
