That has nothing to do with buoyant things on the surface that would want to float after their roots lost their grip from waterlogged soil.
You do understand that when there is a flood some trees fall because the flooded soil allows the top heavy plants to topple over because the soils has become loose.
"Love Jesus and stop this dumb obsession with evolution. It is by its own definition a theory that involves no intelligence."
How does that affect you if some people choose to believe that?
Why do you care?
I have my beliefs, I haven't made a single thread about it. I mention it every now and then but I'm not trying to convert anyone, probably couldn't.
Bedrock can be mudstone (i.e. limestone). The mud from the flood lithified and became bedrock all around the world. The organic matter trapped beneath was pressurized into become oil and other components.
This sandstone unit was deposited during a period when East Texas was a shallow sea, approximately 100 million years ago. During a subsequent period it was uplifted with the Sabine Uplift, eroded, and then covered again by the sea, which this time unconformably deposited a layer of impermeable chalk, the Austin Chalk, creating a stratigraphic trap – a situation where oil, which is lighter than water and migrates upwards, reaches a point where it can move no farther, and pools. The source rock for the oil in East Texas is the overlying Eagle Ford Shale

Bedrock is not always sedimentary you freaking dullard. Many times its igneous and metamorphic.

If horizontal force from impending mud toppled the tree, it would be buried by the mud as is exhibited in mudslides.
They can believe whatever they want. But when they call it a fact I have to interject, for truth's sake.
Evolutionary theory can be a philosophical dead-end, I encourage everyone to keep searching and let go of bias. I know, Ironic that's what atheists think about theists too.
I like sharing my research.. I am interested in your thoughts regarding the possibility and role of a higher intelligence in the origins of things, I am basing that comment off the few times you have mentioned some of your ideas. You should make a thread about something that you think is a novel idea or a worthwhile thought.

You catch yourself by not that having the most minimal of knowledge required to make these arguments, dude.
Not your pal either. Maybe your Science Police. And I'm just going to stick around this thread to prevent geology from being assaulted touch.

You have no proof of your truth. That is why you should probably stop.

I have plenty of proof evolution or abiogenesis is not a possible theory. You have yet to provide an example of evolution occurring, so perhaps you are the one who should just stop
originally posted by: daskakik
And you don't actually have proof that evolution or abiogenesis is not a possible theory. If you did, you wouldn't meet so much resistance in this forum about denying ignorance.

I met resistance saying that heaviness is not interchangeable with density lol... You have lost your credibility.

Actually, I'm just mocking the premise of a single flood explaining any petroleum deposits and bedrock.

You are wrong, you can't accept that the english language works like that. Dying on that mountain made you lose more credibility than you had already lost by making threads like this.
Crude deposits thousands of meters below the earth were created by the deluge? C'mon man.
I wouldn't have even posted in the thread if you just said god put them there because mankind would find a way to use them.
A global flood would explain mudrock deposition, fossils within the mudrock depositions (especially marine fossils on mountains), global erratics beyond glacial zones, the historical accounts by cultures around the world, and also would provide the necessary pressure to create oil from organic matter underneath these layers.

It could be part of the starter kit for earth. But all the pieces match with it being from the global flood described by our ancestors

Right, because mollusks would go up 6000 m for no good reason, and then just die there.
May as well say god or satan put them there.

So... Marine fossils on mountains again?

Genuinely interested in such a mollusk, do you have a link to this find?
Most mollusks are marine animals that live in habitats from shallow coastal areas to deep waters. Most stay within the sediments at the bottom of water bodies, although a few—such as cephalopods—are free swimming.
Species
There are eight different broad categories of mollusks on our planet.
* Caudofoveates are small, deep-sea mollusks that burrow into soft bottom sediments. These worm-like animals lack the shells and muscular feet characteristic of other mollusks, and their bodies are covered with scale-like, calcareous spicules.
* Solanogastres, like caudofoveata, are worm-like mollusks that lack shells. These small, ocean-dwelling animals are mostly blind, and either flattened or cylindrical.
* Chitons, also known as polyplacophorans, are flat, slug-like mollusks with calcareous plates covering the upper surfaces of their bodies; they live in intertidal waters along rocky coastlines worldwide.
* Monoplacophorans are deep-sea mollusks equipped with cap-like shells. They were long believed to be extinct, but in 1952, zoologists discovered a handful of living species.
* Tusk shells, also known as scaphopods, have long, cylindrical shells with tentacles extending from one end, which these mollusks use to rope in prey from the surrounding water.
* Bivalves are characterized by their hinged shells and live in both marine and freshwater habitats. These mollusks have no heads, and their bodies consist entirely of a wedge-shaped "foot."
* Gastropods are the most diverse family of mollusks, including over 60,000 species of snails and slugs that live in marine, freshwater, and terrestrial habitats.
* Cephalopods, the most advanced mollusks, include octopuses, squids, cuttlefish, and nautiluses. Most of the members of this group either lack shells, or have small internal shells.

Almost all mollusks except for cephalopods (octopuses, squid) live on or near the ocean floors, they would not travel up regardless of how deep the water got because most of them can't swim
