==Let’s assume that it is. Does that mean you can extrapolate this specific case to sedimentary layers in general?
If nothing else, it should make you pause and think. And let’s not forget about the newly created island that is the subject of this post. Many, many more examples could be given. YEC predicts these kinds of events, whereas uniformitarians are left baffled. And trust me, many, many more examples could be given.
Unfortunately, no. One does not base rational science on something that just makes you think. Sound geological science proves otherwise using carbon dating among other tools. Now, I know that YECs say that carbon hasn’t always deteriorated this way...
Fortunately, the geologists and engineers that are employed in industries where objectivity on this subject means money (petroleum, for example) are considerable more astute.
When it comes to "layers" let's say we have a river that floods regularly. Every time that happens it's going to drop silt. The silt builds up in identifiable layers. Eventually the river silts up and cuts a new channel somewhere else in its flood plain.
Sometimes it cuts a lot, sometimes a little.
No one is baffled about this.
Another time rocks roll down a hill. Every time there's an earthquake more rocks roll down. Each time they do so they form a new layer. Eventually you have deposit levels dating over many years.
