much earth, homogenize it – even with rocks and boulders if necessary – and deposit it all at once over uncountable square miles of surface in one single, flat, homogenous, even-depth layer. The only way possible is for cubic miles upon cubic miles of water to move at speeds into the supersonic range over continents, pick up earth – dirt, rocks and boulders – in unbelievable quantities, mix it with the water into a watery mud, have every rock and boulder grind each other into rounded off shapes as if they were pebbles, and finally deposit it all at once over huge areas of land in an even, flat layer of “homogenized” muck, rocks, and boulders which later dries out, and through the ages sometimes ossifies, such as in continents frozen in polar zones.

For many years I searched and hunted for evidence of what I call “sloshing” of fast-moving muck water as it becomes trapped in a huge basin. In the late 1980’s I found a treasure trove of sloshing evidence in the part of Arizona and Utah known as Monument Valley. Never have I been so impressed with the beauty of Nature as I was when first viewing the Monument treasures of that valley. It’s hard to believe that such beauty can come from the unimaginable violence of a cataclysm pounding on a landscape which would not exist were it not for the many cataclysms before the last one, each contributing its share toward the structure as we see it today, with thick layers upon other layers mixed with thinner layers after thinner ones, each with

its own unique color and characteristics, with sharp demarcations between all layers.

There are also similar layers in Canyon de Chelly, southeast of Monument Valley a few miles.

The thick layers, approximately 60 to 80 feet thick, provided the sloshing evidence. Even though each of these thick layers showed definite evidence of having been deposited all at once, each layer with its own color and integral appearance, there was a diagonal sublayer – grain flow within each layer – tilted about twenty degrees off horizontal, with an adjacent sublayer tilted in the opposite direction both above and below it. These tilted sublayers, in comprising some very thick layers, were stacked upon each other in fifteen sublayers, all the same thickness, and each tilted in opposite directions from the layers adjacent to itself.

This evidence, then, finally provided the proof that sloshing does occur in a cataclysm. As the rapidly moving muck water sloshed back and forth across the valley, it deposited a little of itself with each slosh; it was moving so fast as to deposit the same amount of itself with each slosh, the total being so homogenized that each sublayer has the same characteristics as each and every one above and below it. Only the grain structure varies in slant with each sublayer. This structure is evident in miles upon miles of surrounding walls of the valley as well as in the monuments therein.
