Barbarian observes:
If not, evolutionary theory has a lot of explaining to do.
Okay. So we agree there are sedimentary layers on both sides of the KTB. These layers, like the KTB itself, can be measured. How big is any particular patch of sedimentary layers just above the KTB?
Depends on the location. At any given time, different parts of the Earth are experiencing deposition, while others are experiencing erosion. So they show differences. There are few places on the Earth where the entire geological column exists in situ.
How big is any particular patch of sedimentary layers just below the KTB?
Depends. See above. Dependng on which one, and where you are, it can be anything from less than an inch to a few miles.
Barbarian on 'hydrologic sorting':
So explain how you think it would be different, and how we can test that idea.
If you're right about hydrologic sorting (whatever that is) being the difference between fossils found at different levels, explain how it works, and what you would predict seeing at different levels. How can we test the idea
My first question is: "How would fluid dynamics work in a worldwide flood?"
It's your idea. You don't know? Explain how we would be able to test it. What will be the difference between lower and upper layers?
Barbarian observes:
Actually, when the evidence was discovered, almost everyone went over to the Heliocentric model. Although the civil authorities wanted Copernicus's books edited, most of them were not. By Galileo's time, people knew. He merely put the finishing touches on the theory.
So he was put under house arrest because everyone agreed with him?
Scientists agreed with him. BTW, you might want to check out the history; he was actually encouraged by the Pope to work on the theory. He was actually arrested on a trumped-up charge for political reasons. That was a convenient way to get him.
Barbarian observes:
Nope. Just show us the evidence. You're back to the "evil scientific conspiracy" stuff again. If you have no evidence for your beliefs, surely you can see that people aren't going to believe them.
Why not just admit you don't have any evidence?
I'm not a scientist. You wouldn't believe any of the evidence I presented.
So far, no evidence. You suggested "hydrologic sorting", but when I ask a few questions, you either don't know what it means, or you're remarkably shy about telling us.
And if I did present something you could not refute, you will still just say "the scientists don't agree" and dismiss it anyway.
Ah, you'd like to support your argument with facts, but the Evil Barbarian won't let you. Very handy.
However, there is a ton of evidence already out there.
But you won't show any of it to us. Whatta surprise.
I think the sedimentary layers will turn out to be more of it.
You think a lot of things that are pretty weird. This is hardly the strangest one.
