> Why so many layers with such obviously different histories? You can't account for all the kind of things below with a flood story.

Remember it's a drawing, a hypothetical case.

But all such formations do not require long periods of time but rather lots of activity during a short period of time.

> Why aren't all lavas (below some point) pillow lavas?

Non-pillow lava would be formed before being deluged, and after waters recede before subsequent secondary overflow, ie: tides of mud. Entirely within Biblical framework.

The only difference in activity is the time-scale. And the overwhelming majority of strata show no erosion between layers. Erosion between layers and subsequent infilling would certainly happen if these layers were all being laid down over vast time-spans.

All of the rest could happen in a very short period of an earth-shaping catastrophic, tectonic, volcanic and cyclonic maelstrom and thermal fluctuations, some before deluge, some during and some after, some before upheaval, during and after, etc.

Remember it's a drawing, a hypothetical case.

Now you're just dodging. Everything it illustrates there is a real kind of feature, you just don't find absolutely all of them together that way. Here's a real case, lacking some--only some--of the volcanic intrusion stuff but otherwise presenting the same problems.

From this site.

You have not addressed how the heck you get all that out of one flood. I'll pile on a bit, then I've got to go. Freeper Ichneumon once made a nice post highlighting the problems with interpreting the Grand Canyon layers as flood sediments. I like to borrow it, as it's perfect for times like this.

There are non-pillow lavas all up and down. Nobody can find a global flood anywhere. Local floods, yes. In all eras. One big flood, no. No such ever.

I'll check back in a few hours.
