Talk:Principle of lateral continuity

You say:

"The problem here is that it has never been confirmed, from either deposits or sedimentary rocks, that the same stratum goes all round the Earth. It is assumed, but maps of locations where the so-called geologic ages are found show significant gaps."

I'm not sure I understand why this would be a problem. With erosion, earthquakes, volcanoes etc. over the eons, wouldn't it be surprising if the same stratum was found everywhere?

Wouldn't it be more of a problem for the flood theory, since it provides for much less time for these processes to act and disturb the uniform layer that one flood would be expected to leave behind?

Sorry to keep asking pesty questions all over the place, but I have this strange urge to try to understand.

Thanks for your help and patience. I appreciate this forum where questions are at least tolerated.
