“1,300 feet of dirt is not a lot. Have you considered how little sediment exists on the seafloor? Every year, wind and water erode dirt off the continents, and it runs off into the oceans. Most of this dirt (sediment) stays near the continents. Scientists know how much dirt comes off the continents each year – about 20 billion tons. What is the average thickness of sediment all over the sea floor? Not even 1,300 feet. When we do the math, the amount of...
Read MoreDeep layers of permafrost – long ages or quickly frozen?
Deep layers of permafrost are estimated to take hundreds of thousands to form, so how can the Bible’s timeline be true? “The occurrence of millions of frozen mammoths in permafrost poses a real challenge to this assumption. In the article The extinction of the woolly mammoth: was it a quick freeze? (https://creation.com/the-extinction-of-the-woolly-mammoth-was-it-a-quick-freeze) Michael Oard notes that the climate in permafrosted areas was very different in the past....
Read MoreYou Are How Old…?
Imagine if I tested one of your skin cells and declared that you tested as 20 years older than you are! Would you be insulted if I thought you were that old? It’s the same thing with this topic: http://www.icr.org/article/excess-argon-archilles-heel-potassium-argon-dating/
Read MoreAre we sure a day is just 24 hours?
You can see from the following verses, God is very clear and intentional in showing that each day is simply a day – a 24-hour period of time as we know it! There are numerous qualifying words that when they are used with the word day in Scripture mean a 24-hour period of time. To try to say otherwise is likely stretching the clear meaning of the text or trying to read into the text. God wrote it for people of all cultures and ages to understand and it seems...
Read MoreWhich Age is True?
In this picture, we find a lengthy list of age of the Earth estimates based on uniformitarian dating methods. All of the examples shown estimate a much younger Earth than 4.5 billion years. Now, an evolutionist would argue that the Earth goes through cycles over time and thus that is the reason for many of these dates appearing younger, but that is an unprovable assumption as we cannot directly observe the conditions of the past. We would also say that these dates are...
Read MoreGreat Floods
The other night, I presented a program called “Noah? A Flood of Evidence” to a group of eager learners at AOI’s center in Grand Junction. Part of it dealt with the huge floods resulting from breached dams, including Lake Bonneville and Lake Missoula, both of which almost instantaneously carved enormous canyons. The next morning, I noticed Richard Stepanek’s earlier blog called “A Tour of Catastrophes,” where he mentions how traveling on their speaking trip from...
Read MoreSouthwest Geology Tour Sights- Upheaval Dome
On the college field trip that Mary Jo & I are leading, we see many great sites, several of which leave us with more questions than answers. One such example is: what caused the unusual formation called Upheaval Dome? Was it a meteor that slammed into the earth at this spot? Perhaps it was a fluid like bulge of a salt dome pushing it up from below? Is it a volcanic outburst? Perhaps there were giant gophers in the past that dug this immense mile wide hole? All of...
Read MoreHow Old is the Earth?
Are we simply learning more through better science and technology or is this the result of a continuing trend away from the Bible? Estimates for the Age of the Earth: Throughout History – Bible-believers – based on genealogies – about 6,000 years 1779 – Comte de Buffon – 78,000 1786 – Abraham Werner – 1 million years 1800’s – Charles Lyell – estimated 80 million years for the Cenozoic Era alone. 1860 – based on amount of fossil-filled sedimentary rocks – 3...
Read MoreGhost Craters and the Moon’s Black Eye!
The surface of the Moon is pocked-marked by craters, but what is possibly the most interesting are the Ghost Craters! The moon’s black spots are the part of the surface that is made up of the rock – basalt. Basalt is a volcanic rock – formed due to lava flows. As you can see with the naked eye, those are huge regions across the surface of the moon that must have had huge lava flows. Based on observations, it looks like the black spots or marias have formed due to huge...
Read MoreRiver Deltas and the Age of the Earth
If the world is millions or billions of years old as evolutionists claim, river deltas should extend hundreds of times farther out into the ocean than they do. If earth were created around 6000 years ago as the Bible leads us to believe, deltas should be more or less the length we find them now. So what can those who insist on believing in millions of years claim if they look at a map and see that the longest deltas at the mouths of the worlds large rivers only extend...
Read MoreFine Line Between Colored Layers and Polystrate Fossils
Frequently, one colored geologic formation is tightly stacked upon another formation. If there were really millions of years of gradual deposition (as normally assumed), wouldn’t the water saturated with the chemicals responsible for the coloration have seeped into the formations below? This would result in unclear boundaries between formations, but we see razor sharp boundaries. Perhaps alternating currents during the time of the Flood quickly stacked one layer on...
Read MoreBoulders and Mud Layers in Coal Formations
Boulders in Coal Layers It has been generally thought that multiple layers of coal found in the eastern US came as the result of trees rotting in swamps over millions of years. In the midst of some of the richest layers of coal, large boulders of totally different rock are also found. Boulders do not grow in swamps, so it seems the trees that formed the coal were ripped up and floated in from a great distance. Perhaps on high seas during the Flood, trees rubbed against each...
