What we see is the layers of the grand canyon that science says took millions of years to happen were developed at mnt saint Helens in much less time. I don't want to get the numbers wrong so I will find thier web site in the next few days. suffice it to say in one year the land had been completly changed, including new water courses which shewed the new layers of setiment that had been layed down when the vocano erupted.

Are you under the impression that archaeologists cannot tell when they run into a layer of "dirt" that was laid down by a volcano?

Layers of ash from a volcano do give us a quick microcosm of the natural processes of erosion etc that you denote but I fail to see how this does anything to lean us toward a young earth.
