Because of my limited time, I typically only read the last few posts. It's difficult to keep up otherwise.


I don't think anyone would ask you to read this whole thread. The recent discussion here only consists of several posts though. It's often a wise idea to find out what a conversation is about before joining it, at the very least so the participants do not have to repeat themselves.

The layering techniques demonstrated in the video are used to date fossils and are the basis for the so-called "fossil record". I've seen this methodology in textbooks, museums, and lectures, and in all of these places, there is never a mention of the time-delineated strata formation demonstrated in this video.


That's unfortunate, but it has not been my experience. Geologists are not unacquainted with the process of transgression formation, as can be seen from the links I provided. You still seem to think they can't spot one, and mis-date fossils accordingly. Please provide some evidence to substantiate your claim. There's plenty that would seem to contradict it -- try Googling "sediment transgression fossil dating" and you will see link after link explaining how these things are studied.

Yes the video tries to support a global flood, but I saw no convincing evidence -- did you see something specific there that you think is conclusive? I saw erroneous claims that scientists believe that all strata take millions of years to form (some do, some don't), and I saw spurious comparisons of a canyon carved in soft volcanic ash with the Grand Canyon.

Interestingly, the video -- from what I can see, I only watched half of it -- also neglects to mention radiometric dating. Scientists can use this to get upper and lower age limits for sedimentary layers between igneous deposits.

In my opinion, the video is taking advantage of its audience's lack of knowledge of geology in order to mislead.
