Geology
How rock layers record time — sedimentation, tectonics, and glacial cycles — and whether a single year-long flood can account for them.

Fundamentals
Evidence
- Time in Sedimentary RockEvaporites, reef growth, coal seams, and buried soils each require durations a single flood year cannot supply.
- The Grand CanyonBoth sides treat the canyon as a test case, and its strata record events requiring far longer than a single flood.
- Plate TectonicsMeasured plate motion, seafloor magnetic striping, and hotspot chains, against the catastrophic plate tectonics model.
- Ice AgesGlacial cycles recorded in ice, ocean sediment, and landforms, against the single post-flood ice age proposal.
Objections
- Flood GeologyThe young-earth flood model and the specific features of the rock record it cannot account for.
- Polystrate FossilsUpright trunks crossing several layers are cited as evidence of rapid burial, and are explained by ordinary sedimentation.
- Catastrophe and GradualismGeology has accepted catastrophic events for decades, and uniformitarianism was never the claim that nothing sudden happens.
