Here is your final comment from the previous discussion of your favourite video. For those reading, it may be helpful to start with the link I gave in my post above.

The Drama In the Rocks video points out that this kind of layering/stratification had not been taken into account when the fossil record was invented.

For this reason, there much misinformation about the fossil record.

Furthermore, the fossil record only appears in the order that scientists like in a few places. These few places have been hand-picked as the ones that define the fossil record.

In many other places, the fossils are not ordered the same way. But this enormous, repeating discrepancy is completely ignored by "science".

Furthermore, scientists have openly admitted that fossil dating methods are often contrived. Other scientists have admitted that fossil dating is based on circular reasoning.

Of course, this information plainly supports my position that evolution is a social control being used to force people into accepting a world view that is not based in truth.

Evolution is clearly a social control, not an observable science, and since science is a process of observation, evolution has to be taken on faith, and is therefore, by definition, a religion.

So, we can conclude that evolution is a religion used for social control.

Now, please tell me if you think that makers of the Drama In the Rocks video conspired together to tell a lie about layering/stratification, because either they are telling the truth, or they aren't.


Russ,

This video is talking about "Walther's Law." It describes lateral sedimentation processes during marine regressions and transgressions (shoreline changes as water levels fall or rise). Your video misrepresents what it looks like however. Look at the diagrams it shows you: does common sense tell you that sand and silt will deposit themselves at such a steep angle to the shore without slumping away? What it also doesn't tell you is that scientists understand how different materials precipitate out of water depending on the conditions and the depth.

This is a real representation of Walther's Law. Note the angle of deposition, and the ordering of materials. How are such layers dated? The oldest are at the bottom and the youngest are at the top. As I've told you, transgressions and regressions are well studied, and you can Google Walther's Law to see for yourself that this poses no hinderance to stratigraphy.

This type of layering only happens in a certain environment. It's possible that early geologists misinterpreted such layers, but Walther's Law has been understood for some time and an educated geologist will know how to interpret such an environment. What's more, you've left dating methods out of the equation. Absolute dating methods could have disproved the relationships that had been inferred from the geologic column, but instead those relationships were confirmed.

You repeat these assertions over and over; you've done it again recently in the Geologic Column thread. And every time, you provide zero evidence. Until you attempt to do so, these claims will be filed in the category of "Russ makes stuff up."

Bullpuckey. You only have the audacity to say stuff like this because you deliberately ignore all evidence to the contrary. I've been posting a lot of it here lately and my guess is either you haven't read it, or you've swept it under your very large carpet.

The answer to that should be very clear by now.
