Another nail in the coffin of Young Earth Creationism: Limestone formation. The rate of formation demolishes Noah's flood. [Spirituality & Religion]
Lime stone forms and deposits at a few different rates depending on temperature, water depth and conditions. I.E. it forms fastest in warm, calm, shallow seas. Young earthers are already in trouble because the Great Flood was anything but calm, shallow or warm.
Unfortunately for young earthers, this utterly precludes the Noachian flood. The rate of precipitation is just too slow. Young earthers hold that the earth is 6000 years old and Noah's flood happened just 2400 years ago. That's just not enough time, to account for the amount of limestone we see.
To put it in perspective, if we assume the FASTEST POSSIBLE formation rate for limestone, multiply that by TEN and then say the flood actually lasted five THOUSAND years and you still end up with .02% of the limestone we see today.

lol nah. Come on man. Your god is not telling you that you were correct to talk about evolution being disproved in a thread about geology. Don't be silly.
According to my God's Word, I'm right again.
But can you present an argument demonstrating that? I gave you some specific reasons why a young earth simply cannot account for the limestone deposits we observe today. Can you speak to that?
I asked you a straight question. Give a straight answer.

My God, Pikachu, has authority on all fields of science, including geology.
lol good for your god, but YOU still got triggered into an unrelated response when you talked about evolution being disproved in a thread about geology. Accept it.
lol didn't want to answer that question, did ya lil' buddy? Funny how that ALWAYS shuts you up.
You've entered this thread as you always do with a loud mouth and an empty head. You lack the knowledge and wherewithal to cogently debate this subject. Let it go at that😁
@Pikachu If it wasn't so intellectually dishonest, it would be funny. He, and others like him, expect us to present proof but don't believe it's necessary for them to do so. Nice example of double standards.
*yawn* I'm not interested in your little boy games lol. I've asked you a straight question and you'll do anything to avoid answering it. Let it go at that🤷♀️
