the sediments laid down would have the same characteristics,

Maybe the sediments, in this case,don't have the same characteristics as you know them or expect them to be. I don't know and it doesn't matter. God's Word is true whether or not proof is found or not. If some proof is found, there will be another that will say 'it's not enough proof'. This battle will continue on earth until Jesus returns and every knee will bow. And those not on earth at that time will already know the answer.

If that's what you believe, fair enough. I don't, as I see the Bible as a mixture of myths, human stories and historical events written down by people. I don't believe for one moment that it's God's word at all.
