Limestone and mudstone formed on the Indian and Eurasian plate margins now are found in the peaks of the Himalayas as a result of the collision between the two plates. Plate tectonics solves many problems posed by structural geology. The only requirement for soils to become rock is pressure and heat. Any soil that is buried deeply enough will become rock. Most of the biological material will leach out or, in rare instances, fossilize.

It’s a little bit arrogant to attempt to read my mind. Nothing I’ve said is in conflict.

Keep pumping up smoke!

The conflicts are there, and won’t go away.
