1st. It would be good if you would take the time to learn what "bait and
switch" really is.
2nd. The Tavrick formation is extremely relevant to the issue because the
Tavrick formation and the Haymond formation are basically the same thing --
Flysch deposition, or rather, Turbidite deposition. They both have the same
features--alternating shale and sand with fluting, dragging, and burrow
holes filled with sand in the shale. I figured that you had the
intellectual capacity to make the connection between the [irrelevant stuff]
and the Haymond formation, but obviously I was wrong. The point is that
Creationary Catastrophists have already interpreted Haymond-like formations
(i.e. the Tavrick formation) within the Creationary Catastrophist model.

Typical Ad hominen. Where is your scientific argument? This is the ASA
isn't it?
Turbidites are by definition high energy, short-term deposition. The
Tavrick and Haymond are Flysch (i.e. turbidite) formations. Therefore they
are by definition high energy, short-term depositions.

Sorry, but the tops of the shales show many signs of high energy erosion
(dragging grooves, ripple marks, sole marks, etc.) which would have removed
the upper part of the shale deposition and presumably the "conical hills'
around burrow holes.

Speaking of mantras.
As I said before, the fast moving currents which deposited the sand also
eroded the top of the shale likely removing the "conical mounds."

The Oceans basins are the fountains of the great deep. These basins were
broken up by asteroid impacts, initiating sinking of the dense oceanic crust
into the Athenesphere. This sets up rotating cells in the mantle which
pulled apart the continental masses.
The impacts on Jupiter prove that explosion fireballs jet into space above
the atmosphere dissipating most of the resulting heat into space and not the
atmosphere. I am well aware of the forces involved due to asteroid impacts,
probably more than you are. Some of the largest known impact craters were
likely made by explosions larger than the nuclear weapons ever made
altogether. There would indeed be complete destruction within the blast
zone, but the bigger the explosion, the more energy that is radiated
directly into space. It is quite likely that medium sized impacts had more
destructive impact on the globe than the largest ones.
If I remember correctly, your computations are based on the idea that the
continent slide across the mantle generating heat from the friction. The
continents do not slide across the underlying mantle. Rather, sinking crust
sets up rotating cycles in the Athenesphere which then drag (or push) the
continents apart. The largest source of heat comes from the exposed mantle
at the rift zone. It is cooled by water converted to steam geysers.
Baumgartner's calculations indicate that these steam geysers will also jet
above the atmosphere dissipating most the heat into space.
Thus the heat from asteroid impacts and CPT will largely be radiated into
space above the atmosphere. The largest problem will likely be nuclear
winter symptoms, but even those are highly exaggerated.

Simple. It is called a flood catastrophe. Asteroid impact-tsunami is the
major erosional and depositional factors of the Creationary Catastrophe
model. Mega-tsunami will also be a factor due to CPT. 75,000 feet of
sediment is nothing. Impact-tsunami erode and then deposit as they move
across the surface of the earth. The sediment came from some places and
deposited in others. Turbidite deposition and tsunami deposition are very
similar. When Creationary Catastrophists think FLOOD, they do not think of
rivers overflowing due to rain, (although that likely played a small part of
the catastrophe).

The Haymond depositions are turbidite and by definition quick deposits. The
associated burrows must therefore, also be quick. Quick likely means
minutes to less than an hour.
All I see is a guy who is blinded to the theological foundations of the
interpretations which he accepts as truth. And confuses interpretations
with facts.
