Meanwhile, in the waiting room, Papaia and Ravioli are discussing a book Banani found about geological evidence for Noah’s Flood.
Ravioli: Any other examples?
Papaia: Beneath the base of the Redwall Limestone, the underlying Muav Limestone was rapidly eroded in some localized areas, forming channels.
Ravioli: Channels?
Papaia: Yes. These channels were later filled with sandy limestone, forming the Temple Butte Limestone.
Ravioli: Aside from those rare exceptions, the boundary between the Muav and the Redwall Limestone — as well as between the Temple Butte and the Redwall Limestone — appears flat and featureless.
Papaia: Exactly. And those are typical signs of continuous deposition.
Ravioli: In fact, looking at the diagram here, in some places it’s impossible to tell where the Muav ends and the Redwall begins.
Papaia: That’s because the Muav Limestone continued to be deposited even after the Redwall Limestone had started forming.
Ravioli: That really challenges uniformitarian geology, doesn’t it?
Papaia: Yes. The Muav Limestone would have been deposited around 500–520 million years ago, the Temple Butte Limestone about 100 million years later (350–400 million years ago), and then the Redwall Limestone several million years after that (330–340 million years ago).
Ravioli: But based on the evidence, it makes way more sense to believe these limestones were deposited continuously — not with millions of years between them.
Igor: And now Ravioli’s a geology expert? Hard to believe that just ten minutes ago, he was crying in front of a sock in Faggioli’s office! 🤣
