I have not heard of a process that ultimately freezes currents and eddies of water in stone.

Maybe the flood was followed by a massive burst of liquid nitrogen.

Re: Deseret News Article: Proof of the Flood
If anyone wanted more evidence that the Deseret News has ceased to be a news outlet in any sense:
Don't you mean the Associated Press? In any case, I think it IS newsworthy to report on those who believe this. Let them be held up to the scrutiny of science.

It's just unusual that such stuff is presented unchallenged in a "news" outlet.

VERY common.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

The SLTrib, as do many other "news" outlets, prints unchallenged notions about politicians such as Obama or religions such as the LDS Church.

So, that excuses a stupid article about religious pseudoscience?

Non sequitur. Am familiar with wave patterns. Can see them all over the ancient Lake Missoula area for example. But a one time flood, how is that preserved? If the flood was global, how come we have living organisms that are over 80,000 years old extant? How come there is no break in over 20,000 years of fire traces in Yellowstone (trees knocked down rather than burned down? How come coral reefs show no evidence of the Flood? etc etc.

No, but it destroys the notion that something is not a valid news source because it prints such an article. The fact that this comes over the AP invalidates, by your logic, virtually every source of news.

Maybe so. I just have found very little of any substance in the Deseret News since they axed most of their staff. This just seems to be more evidence that the paper has, in a real sense, ceased to exist.
