Non-Scientist Young Earth Creationist Has Theories for you to Test

Really not understanding why the rocks have to be so far apart in age. All I see is one geological formation on top of another. To me that just points to one extreme event after an initial one.

The geologic formation at Siccar Point is called an angular unconformity. Angular unconformities take at least 7 separate geologic steps to form with each step taking millions of years

1. Horizontal sediments are laid down on the ocean bed.
2. As they are buried deeper the sediments lithify - harden into stone
3. Plate tectonics raises and tilts the once horizontal layers
4. Erosion planes off the tilted layers to a once again horizontal surface
5. Another ocean ingresses and lays further sediment over top the planed off tilted area.
6. The new layers are buried and lithify
7. Eventually erosion exposes the whole combined sequences.

These sort of formations are impossible to form in a one year one time flood. YECs won’t touch this sort of physical evidence. As mentioned above it was famous angular unconformity at Siccar Point Scotland which convinced geologist James Hutton in 1788 the Earth wasn’t young.

Here is another good example.

These formations can be found all over the planet.

thank you for the example. Still see no reason this poses a threat to a young earth timescale. We’d need time for the new stone be created. How long does the second stone take to be formed?
