it should be noted, that on the current surface of the earth, can be found strata formations from almost all of the ages of the earth, some rock is billions of years old - but can be stood upon today. this shows that our planet can be violent, and is unstable. rock formations are a poor guide to dating events.
its a fact that space debris falls to the earth constantly, and the planet grows in size. its estimated that about one foot of alien soil falls to earth in a century. so up to 125 miles of deposit would be expected to cover the k-t boundary, the so-called demise of the dinosaurs. yet around the globe are several sites where the k-t can be studied at the surface. imagine the force required to upheave that much of the earth. there are formations on the surface that were deposited billions of years ago.
this fact is disturbing, showing how violent the earth can be. im not sure how those in the gradual uniformity theory side can deal with that. it shows massive upheavals have happened countless times in the geological record. it would be silly to be certain of such things when we can only judge of 5,000 years of history out of the billions. yet they will insist these upheavals moved very slowing over mya. man would have a much larger history book, had the earth been as stable as they think.
a bold geologist should step forward to challenge accepted notions that are not in accord with the record. some things happen slowly, and others very fast. a range or plate can lift or fall as fast as lava in a volcano. im surprised that space sat imagery has not detected places in the andes that can go up or down rapidly at times. jules verne depicts the scenario in one of his novels. he seems to be accurate, but the experts cling to the old theories. elevations around lima have changed several times in the last 400 years. its old port is under the sea. they were rapid movements, ships were thrown onto the land. its undeniable!
no doubt legendary accounts of multitudes drowning, influences natives to live at high elevation in the andes. i think the sea rose first, then the andes rose with the sea. those not drown, must have been plenty scared.
