Do these idiots realize that there is no proof of the Noah's flood and that it didn't cause the many rock layers? Even this creationist website said that it is impossible for a flood the create rock layers.
"Why Noah's Flood Can't Produce Chalk Layers
Okay, even if you believe this, it is impossible to overcome the following argument.
Let's back up to the beginning of the article. Remember that these chalk beds form when the organisms die, and their calcium carbonate shells start falling slowly to accumulate on the ocean floor. "It has been estimated that a large 150 micron (0.15mm or 0.006 inch) wide shell of a foraminifer may take as long as 10 days to sink to the bottom of the ocean, whereas smaller ones would probably take much longer. At the same time, many such shells may dissolve before they even reach the ocean floor."
What happens when you have a planet full of water? A study of the currents during such an event was done by young-earth creationists Baumgardner and Barnette, and young earth proponents depend heavily upon this study. You get ocean current rates of 40 to 80 meters per second, or 131 to 262 feet per second, which equates to 89 to 179 miles per hour currents. Imagine a football field, with the starting point at one goal line. After one second, the water would be at the 13 yard line, 87 yards away. These currents are centered over the continental land masses in cyclonic gyres, and are stronger towards the western margins.
Chalk forms in shallow, calm water. The continental slopes adjacent to the continents would be drastically affected by these gyres. Unfortunately for Snelling, these organisms thrive in calm waters, not turbulent waters. You can imagine what would happen to an organism's production rate of 2.25 divisions per day. Division would be the last thing on its mind, it would merely be trying to survive.
In the Baumgardner/Barnette model, the point of lowest current is over the deep ocean basins. Unfortunately, these organisms do not live in deep ocean basins.
The bloom effect they propose would not be possible either. In Jamaica, you can see these placid, calm seas, which are white with organisms. Try running a 90 mile per hour current through there, and see what happens...oops, no more white clouded water. Since they live on the shallow continental shelves, which are affected by these gyres, they would be dispersed all over the ocean currents. By this model, it would be impossible to "bloom" in one place...as these blooms would be carried along on the currents, scattering their remains all over the world, instead of the one spot over England that you need for the Dover cliffs. In fact, you would get NO chalk beds anywhere in the world! (Remember, blooming is a shallow water phenomenon...it doesn't occur in the deep ocean basins, where the flood waters would be the calmest.)
Furthermore, remember the statement two paragraphs up, "many such shells may dissolve before they even reach the ocean floor." The size of the larger shells is 150 microns. Using Stokes Law, which determines the velocity at which a particle will settle out of the water and be deposited on the bottom of a fluvial system, a particle of that size would sink to the bottom when the water velocity goes below 1.5 centimeters per second, or 1/30th of a mile per hour.2 Please note the Flood model flow rate is at a minimum 89 miles per hour in the cyclonic gyres. The current for the open ocean away from these gyres is not given. However, it would be difficult to imagine the current dropping below this threshold in the open ocean, therefore these particles would never fall out of the ocean currents, and would dissolve as they were carried along. Again, the Flood model would yield NO chalk beds at all.
Can you discard the current studies done by Baumgardner and Barnette? Go ahead. The problem is...if you do that, you don't have the erosional forces to supply the material to form all the other sandstones and siltstones! Either way you choose, you can't account for the layers of rock we see using the young earth model".
