There are myriad reasons why a small scale experiment can not reproduce the hydrological sorting found in nature. Worldwide there is no place where all the sedimentary layers are represented in the same exact order and thickness, sometimes layers are inverted, sometimes missing - so we know that local conditions have to play a major factor in the layering process [i.e. what sediments, what quantity, the state of the sediments - frozen, liquid, slurry etc.]. It’s all a big ‘cake batter’ where the recipe is subject to constant change due to what raw materials are present, in what quantity, state, temp, etc and so on].
I’ll be straightforward here - my goal was to get you and any other lurkers to see that any experiments in hydrologic sorting ARE suspect simply b/c of so many unknown factors [i.e. was the fossil from a global flood or local flood that came sometime afterwards? how long afterwards?, how does depth of fossil/sediment affect results? What sedimentary depths can be produced from these smaller experiments? How do you extrapolate those results to compare with a global flood that produced many varied layers of sediments that are more than several miles deep in most locations?].
Basically all historical science is suspect b/c you can not ever account for all the unknown conditions let alone re-create them - it is more guesswork than science. Historical science does not and can not ever follow the scientific method because of so many unknown variables.
AGW is simply another sign of the times we live in where the mainstream powers that be love to decide whether a story, research, theory, etc. - anything no matter how important or trivial gets reported, repeated, buried, ignored, or uploaded into the mainstream’s conscience.
The ‘lies can travel half-way round the world while truth is still putting it’s pants on’ - to paraphrase a famous quote.
So why am do I feel so strongly about the hydroplate theory?
Primarily b/c as a christian I feel certain that any and all true science will conform to the plain and simply stated facts asserted in the Bible. Also though, the Hydroplate Theory answers far more questions and assumptions than any other theory I have researched or encountered [and yes, I’ve researched loads of origins theories].
Earlier you stated this was a one-time event, the result of divine intervention, producing conditions that have never occurred before and never will again, and it cannot be known exactly what they were and they cannot be reproduced or studied. How is science supposed to "conform" to that?
