Claim

Strata in the geological column are sometimes out of order. The mechanisms geophysicists use to account for them are problematical. Thrust faulting would have produced great amounts of debris, which geologists don't see; folding would require great forces which geophysicists have trouble accounting for.

Responses

1. Creationists who make this claim refuse to appreciate the fact that strata can be folded when force is applied to them very gradually, over millions of years.
2. Creationists who make this claim refuse to appreciate the fact that portions of strata can be eroded away.
