    Our church's pastor mentioned an argument for a global flood based on a book
    he'd read that mentioned that there are trees that slice through geologic
    strata, and he doesn't see how that could happen unless there was a global
    flood that laid down all the sediment all at once.

    I am not really familiar with the tree argument, and am wondering if someone
    can fill me in, or point me to some (web) resources including possible
    scientific explanations for why that would happen even without a global
    flood.

    Thanks!
