What has it got to do with evolution?

I don't know. If it turns out that a quantitative analysis of the amount
of
evidence for motion only accounts for a couple hundred feet, than it
means
that Precambrian sediments were deposited over Cretaceous sediments. If
that's OK with you it's OK with me.

You really are quite stupid you know. There is proof that the older
rocks overlay younger one - that is beyond all doubt. There is proof
that the younger rocks slid under the older rocks - again that is
beyond all doubt. There may be some arguments over the exact process,
but the evidence is there that it did happen.

There is evidence of some motion. How much motion I don't know, but an
eighth inch of gouge doesn't seem to represent enough.

Now, to return to your original claims, that there were places on the
earth were large areas of rocks were turned upside down without
distortion and without explanation. Can you cite a location where this
has happened?

You need to cite that. I said that evolutionist would have to adopt some
explanation such as that. I am fine with out of order deposits.

Message-ID: <C2749110.DABA%georg...@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

You have some seemingly impossible fits like palaeontologically
inverted, but otherwise undisturbed, strata sheets.

Message-ID: <C2748BE7.DAB9%georg...@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Palaeontologically inverted but otherwise undisturbed wide ranging
strata should have been a killer. These are absolutely impossible to
explain by evolution.

You're right, that's what I said. I don't read anything there that says I
claim that large areas have been flipped like a pancake.What I said in
these same places, and what you left out, is that you guys would have to
claim that large areas were flipped like a pancake. I suspect you didn't
quote those passages because they are clearly not what you are going for.

I also suggest that you could invoke the legend of Paul Bunyun and give him
a large oil can to lubricate the sheets. Notice that I am not saying that
Paul Bunyun was real.

No, but you are (or were) proposing that there were features which
were inconsistent with evolution being true, and it turns out that
this is not the case. It is you, not evolutionists, who must resort to
appealing to mythical "evidence" in order to support your claim that
evolution has any problem here.

This isn't a symmetrical situation such that if you can explain it I can't.
Both sides see thrust faulting the same way. But both sides don't see
geological timing the same way. The Lewis Thrust Fault is not a problem for
me at all. It may still be for you.

That you fail to understand thrust faults is not evidence that your explanation
is true, nor other explanations are false.
