Ailsa replied to Martin Smith's discussion 'Help me answer a sceptical friend =)'"It's quite true that Mount St Helens is pyroclastic flow rather than deposition by water, but there are still useful lessons we can learn from it. I would speculate that when the "fountains of the great deep" broke through, it's…"
Ailsa replied to Martin Smith's discussion 'Help me answer a sceptical friend =)'"With regard to fossilised coral, we can all agree that the coral was not produced by the flood. However, it is possible that the coral was carried there from elsewhere and dropped in the position where it was found. When floods occur, large amounts…"

Martin Smith replied to Martin Smith's discussion 'Help me answer a sceptical friend =)'"Yeah that's the one I found. I'm not sure how legitimately those findings can be applied to a flood scenario though. (Not because I'm 'sceptical' I just literally don't know whether it can be.)"
Ailsa replied to Martin Smith's discussion 'Help me answer a sceptical friend =)'"It was an experiment which demonstrated rapid stratification.

Martin Smith replied to Martin Smith's discussion 'Help me answer a sceptical friend =)'"There's an article in Nature that talks about it. I've tracked it down. There's also this for the chalk problem:

Ailsa replied to Martin Smith's discussion 'Help me answer a sceptical friend =)'"I'm sure I read a paper not long ago about rapid production of varves from a secular journal.

Allen Roy replied to Martin Smith's discussion 'Help me answer a sceptical friend =)'"I agree with this one point.

Martin Smith replied to Martin Smith's discussion 'Help me answer a sceptical friend =)'"I guess I'm defensive because honestly I just don't have the scientific expertise to feel confident about much in this area.

I found you as a member here at creationconversations.com, where I'm also a member.
Here at creationconversations.com, I have created a group called 'Creation Group Europe', hoping that this could be a virtual meetingplace for European Creationists. Here we can discuss matters that relate to Europe, Creationism, Apologetics etc.
If you also have these matters on your heart, you are more than welcome to join the group :-)
Kind Regards in Christ
