Paleosols, the Myth...exposed as, well, myth!

There are no proven paleosols buried in the sedimentary rocks, but rather remnants of Flood and Volcanic activity associated with the Flood.   Just as the Pasteur's final proof of Biogenesis should have stopped Evolution before it started, the idea of paleosols are, when inspected, always something else except in rocks formed after the Flood during the dynamic post-Flood period, which would be in the uttermost layering anyway. 

So when I have time to continue the Flood series we will not likely address paleosols because the evidence blows away the entire concept.  Just as "petrified forests" are actually groups of trees ripped up and stripped by the Flood and then eventually sinking into muck, paleosols are generally friable rock and not ancient soils at all. Oh, sure, we find soils that could have been made within the last 4,300 years or so, but otherwise? Nope.

Summary

Paleosols are a favourite objection used against the global Flood and the 6,000-year biblical age of the earth. Uniformitarians believe that paleosols (ancient soil horizons) are common throughout the stratigraphic record. Soils are believed to take hundreds to thousands of years or more to form and represent periods of earth history when the area was not covered with water. Thus, it is argued, paleosols could not have formed in the midst of a global flood. However, when two examples of alleged paleosols are examined, one in Missouri, USA and the other in Queensland, Australia, they do not stand up to scrutiny. The loose, friable horizons do not have the diagnostic characteristics of soils and the interpretation of a paleosol is inconsistent with the sequence of geological events required. Instead, the field evidence fits the biblical framework much better than the uniformitarian one. The soils examined did not form by subaerial weathering over a long time but by in situ ‘weathering’ during and after the global Flood.
