You would have to find evidence for your claims to make them valid and you have no idea of what is and what is not evidence.

I would have asked you for evidence, but since you do not understand the concept you do not appear to have any.
First the absolute law that varve Counts equal years.
But wait Mount Saint Helen’s eruption aftermath refutes that.
So the absolute law is an absolute lie,

So you show how to tell can the difference between varves caused by erosion and that caused by volcanic ash.

But the worldwide flood was not caused by a volcanic ash. It would be Mount Saint Helen’s in the sense of many in a short time but would be just like the erosion ones since that is the type of material.

Therefore the worldwide flood would be able to have deposited many ten thousands of varves without the ability to distinguish the varves from annual varves.

What? No, there is no "absolute law". And you are wrong at any rate since Mt. St. Helens is a special case and we can identify those quasi varves if we see them . Sorry, you still lose. You need proper evidence to show that varves are not reliable.

I did. You spoke too soon.

No, we know what flood sediments look like too. Sorry but you still lose.

Nope. Because we have other tools besides just varves for dating. We have fossils, which give us relative dating, and radiometric dating. Even varve deposits can have the occasional ash layer if they are near a range. Those give us absolute dates. Don't assume that scientists are as sloppy and ignorant as you are in your "work".

Then if there is no law of varves are counts of years then there could be 10,000 in any year.
Thanks.
And of course Mount Saint Helens is lots of volcanic ash but the flood is not.
So you would not be able to distinguish the multitude from the flood.

Nope, that is not the way that evidence or logic works. You really need to go over these basic concepts.

Correct, so using Mt. St. Helens as an example was pure foolishness of the creation "scientists" (I have to laugh every time I see that phrase).

Nope, that is a non sequitur again. Water flow and sediment deposition are well understood sciences. We can point to all sorts of activities that tell us that there was no flood. Did you forget your failure with chalk already?

And no one was there to scientifically measure what the flood did about 4500 years ago,
But they can now study the aftermath.

We do not need to. We can study how water works and see if it whose hypotheses work and whose do not. For example no flood believer has a working hypothesis on how this landform arose, you can try to make one, and I will tell you how it fails:

Go to any young earth creationist site and they can educate you.
The Canyon was carved out in the aftermath of the worldwide flood while all those recently deposited sediment layers were soft.
Simple analysis shows that that is true.
Wow. What a great picture of the flood.

No, they can't. They have no answer. How was that carved? Give me your hypothesis. I can tell you how you are wrong.

what canyon is the photo of?

As to the Grand Canyon, all the layers were deposited during the worldwide flood in about 1 year. The Canyon then was carved out in the aftermath as a large amount of water drained off and carved it out while the sediment was still soft.
That is a large spillway.q

Either you can explain it or you can not.
Now since we all know you can not, the only thing that makes sense is you are wanting to look it up and see if one of your lying for jesus sites can give you something to reply with...

Nope, we know that is not the case. The cliffs that you can get in unconsolidated sediments cannot be very high at all. They tend to slump. And why does it matter what canyon that is? Give an explanation. I will tell you why it is wrong. I will tell you one thing. It is a tributary to the Grand Canyon so its great age also tells us that the Grand Canyon is very old.

It does not matter for most canyons except for those known to be new.

Gratz, you fail at geology.
The rock layers of the Grand Canyon formed by the sediment deposited during the worldwide flood in about 1 year and the canyon was carved out in the aftermath by runoff while the sediment layers were still soft.
This pattern was seen as the result of the Mount Saint Helen’s eruption in 1980.

First the absolute law that varve Counts equal years.
But wait Mount Saint Helen’s eruption aftermath refutes that.
So the absolute law is an absolute lie,

The Mount Saint Helen's volcanic eruption did not result in anything resembling lake deposited varves. Lake varves are annual seasonal layers i n lakes each with a pollen layer indicating deposition in the spring, and nothing remotely related to a volcanic ash deposit.

The above is an absolute lie based on your ancient tribal agenda
So you show how to tell can the difference between varves caused by erosion and that caused by volcanic ash.

Yes, as above lake varves each contain a very thin deposit of pollen in each spring. The volcanic ash deposit lacks this and is simply a massive deposit of ash from an erupting volcano.
But the worldwide flood was not caused by a volcanic ash. It would be Mount Saint Helen’s in the sense of many in a short time but would be just like the erosion ones since that is the type of material.
True, but there is absolutely no evidence of a world or regional flood described in the Bible that covered the mountains like Mount Ariate,
Therefore the worldwide flood would be able to have deposited many ten thousands of varves without the ability to distinguish the varves from annual varves..

Actually impossible, because lake varves only occur in lakes where there is an annual spring deposition of a thin layer of pollen.
