Thank you for this response. Let's see where we agree and disagree, in a rational manner.
Firstly, I agree that there were catastrophic occurrences - many of them! Each volcanic eruption is such an event.
Secondly, I agree that a lot of water over a short time can have the same effect as a little water over a long time - flowing over similar material.
As far as the Redwall Limestone creatures are concerned, they may certainly have been deposited as you suggest - by a huge lake at the time of their deposition.
My question now is: is it your belief or suggestion that this
deposition happened during the Great Flood, or was it the
washing away of the deposits that occurred during the Flood, or both?
