Paleosols: digging deeper buries “challenge” to Flood geology

“Paleosols are a favorite objection used against the global Flood and the 6,000-year biblical age of the earth. Uniformitarians believe that paleosols (ancient soil horizons) are common throughout the geologic record. Soils are believed to take hundreds to thousands of years or more to form, and they supposedly represent periods of earth history when the area was not covered with water. Uniformitarians argue that paleosols could not have formed in the midst of a global flood. However, when examples of alleged paleosols are examined, they do not stand up to scrutiny. The loose horizons do not have the characteristics of soils, and the interpretation of a paleosol is inconsistent with the sequence of geological events needed to form such layers. Instead, the field evidence fits the biblical framework much better than the uniformitarian one. The soils examined do not form by surface weathering over a long time but by “weathering” within the rock layers during and after the global Flood.” Evolution Exposed, Second Ed., Paleosols: digging deeper buries “challenge” to Flood geology, Walker.
