Why doesn the Lewis Overthrust show any Deformation?
(Special Note: Clickable Links are used to explain some of the concepts rather than repeat them here) ANOTHER NOTE: A U-M student has done an excellent job detailing the arguments against thrusting here Why does this question come up? Creationists have ‘discovered’ locations where the fossil record is ‘out-of-sequence’ (i.e. older fossils on top of younger fossils. One of the explanations given by conventional geology is that the older sequence was thrust over the younger sequence of rocks. Creationists have detailed (in many places) that thrust faulting seems, to them anyway, impossible (creationists claims below are from this site). There are several claims (most of them of personal incredulity) that the Lewis thrust fault shows no evidence of deformation. One of the most humorous of these claims is given below: “At the actual contact line, very thin layers of shale were always present . . A thin band of soft shale sticks to the upper block of Altyn limestone. This seems to clearly i
