This is part of a longer post about Silvestru's video containing evidence for a Global Flood. I chose to break up the posts so that individual claims can be better discussed. The video can be found here:
Note that the video starts with about thirty minutes of introduction. I believe the original poster of the video has left some suggestions of where to start watching to skip the intro.
In this post, I display my ignorance:
At 1:18, he claims that fine sediment can settle in fast moving water, describing this as the Bouma sequence. I don't know if this is possible, but the results of this Google search seem to show otherwise.
After some quick searching, understanding the Bouma sequence seems to require more time than i wish to spend. Read this abstract for some details.
Mostly, I want to say that when a specialist offers an incomprehensible argument, you need to look at other arguments, ones that you understand, to determine if you want to believe the new one. Logic states that each argument rises or falls on its own merits but we can use logic to consider the trustworthiness of the speaker as well. However you look at it, this is not an argument I am capable of rebutting, but that does not mean it is correct.
