Talk:Principle of superposition
From CreationWiki, the encyclopedia of creation science
In its plainest form, it [the principle of superposition] states that layers of rock (strata) are arranged in a time sequence providing they have been unaltered since their formation.
The English is wrong, but it could be corrected in two different ways, with significantly different meanings:
- ...are arranged in a time sequence, provided that they have been unaltered...
- ...are arranged in a time sequence, proving that they have been unaltered...
I chose the first.
- Concur with your choice. We're identifying an assumption, not proving a conclusion. Good catch! Ungtss 10:22, 5 June 2006 (CDT)
