Since there are layers on high mountains that proves mountains were at one time low-lying plains. There was once a sea where the Rocky Mountains are.

Every spot on Earth was once low lying. Every spot on Earth was once high elevation.

This is incontrovertible proof to anyone willing to think.

Your post is confirmation of a worldwide flood. All those layers photographed were water born sediment at one time. Read up on the velocity of some of the currents produced by tides when there are no continents in the way.

Sediments come from high elevations down to lower elevations. So how did the entire earth get covered in layers of sediment?? How did high mountains get sedimentary layers? Did mud come from space during this one worldwide flood? Even if mud did come from space how did it form many many layers on mountain tops? Mountains are actually MADE of layers! We also have layers way down deep in the Grand Canyon and other canyons. Have you ever thought about these things? The Earth must of gotten much bigger from all these sedimentary layers over all of the Earth?

Apparently you never heard of Pangia. During the Flood the supercontinent broke apart. The mountains did not exist until very late in the Flood. God says He pushed down the low places and raised up the high places. That's why fossils are found from sea level to the highest mountains.

Rich, this is the explanation offered by "young earthers" today. What was the explanation in the year 1900? Before the discovery of continental drift and plate tectonics?

Plate tectonic theory had its beginnings in 1915 when Alfred Wegener proposed his theory of "continental drift." Wegener proposed that the continents plowed through crust of ocean basins, which would explain why the outlines of many coastlines (like South America and Africa) look like they fit together like a puzzle.

People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.
