"basalt columns " are not crystalline structures. Crystalline structures have no relation whatsoever to the production of "basalt" columns. Regarding "Giant selenium crystals.",they are rare, not found all over world. Starch is not the same as rocks.

Hand tools (without an engine) cannot produce such surfaces."
NOW I REMEMBER: BY HAND TOOLS, I MEANT PRIMITIVE HAND TOOLS, NOT MODERN HAND TOOLS.
Basically I claim geological processes did not and could not produce basalt columns. So, I infer that they were produced by life of a human kind.
I SPECULATE that they were molded from CONCRETE-like material.

So, you think the second photo at wretchfossil.blogspot.com...
shows objects made from hand tools of 600AD? Think again.
To repeat, I did NOT challenge BASALT in my original post.
I just talked about morphology, shape, evidence for formation, mechanism, etc. I did not talk about material itself.
