LOL! Ah, the good old **magic Flood!** It slices, it dices, it walks the dog. 🙂

The **magic Flood** is violent and rapid when it needs be, gentle and receding in waves when it need be. It created [vertical walls with dino tracks](https://discourse.peacefulscience.org/t/cordova-and-runyon-on-the-fossil-record/7628/18), it created [angular unconformities.](https://discourse.peacefulscience.org/t/cordova-and-runyon-on-the-fossil-record/7628/306) Heck, the **magic Flood** not only sorted all those fossils by their species (no trilobites mixed with clams), it also sorted carbon containing material by the isotopic C14/C12 ratio, burying the lesser C14 lower than the greater amount!

It’s shame you don’t have the ability to step back and look at all these ridiculous YEC _ad hoc_ claims you keep making from a consilient scientific perspective. All that info on plate tectonics and bio-distribution and _lagerstatten_ went in one ear and out the other.
