The Coconino Sandstone has been assumed to be formed from ancient desert sand dunes. Within this rock layer, we find 4-footed animal tracks. Scientists did experimentation on how the tracks may have been formed and notice what has been discovered about the trackways: “A detailed statistical analysis of these data led to the conclusion, with a high degree of probability that the fossil tracks must have been made underwater… [Regarding the fossils] Toe imprints...
Read More“The thickest sets of cross beds in the Coconino Sandstone so far reported are 30 feet (9 metres) thick. Cross beds of that height imply sand waves at least 60 feet (18 metres) high and a water depth of around 300 feet (between 90 and 95 metres). For water that deep to make and move sand waves as high as 60 feet (18 metres) the minimum current velocity would need to be over 3 feet per second (95 centimetres per second) or 2 miles per hour. The maximum current velocity would...
Read MoreWe consistently see layers flat on top of another all over the place – even when there should be millions of years of time between them. But if long ages of erosion is happening to the rock layers, wouldn’t we expect the following (jagged lines rather than smooth contacts)??? But this is what we do see all over:
Read MoreThis is from a secular geologist that does not accept the Biblical Flood and he says this about the formation of rock layers: “The realization that much of the geologic record, particularly in shallow water environments, actually accumulates as a series of catastrophic events (as expressed in Derek Ager’s eloquent analogy to the lives of soldiers: “long periods of boredom and brief periods of terror”) goes a long way toward explaining the persistence...
Read MoreOn 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 MoreJ Harlen Bretz first started studying the Pacific Northwest in 1922. In 1923, he developed a flood model for the cause of the geological formations in that area. “Bretz was openly and vigorously ridiculed for presenting such a ludicrous notion as a flood model for the scablands since this region had obviously been carved out over millions of years by uniformitarian processes.” (http://www.detectingdesign.com/harlenbretz.html) “Before a theory that requires a seemingly...
Read MoreThe Arizona Republic, Friday, Nov. 12, 1999 reported that in the Saharan Desert paleontologists discovered 95% of the bones from a new species of huge, plant-eating sauropod, belonging to the family of giants such as Diplodocus and Apatosaurus. This creature weighed up to 20 tons and stood 30 feet high. Jobaria tiguidens is the name for this new find that was claimed to have been buried by a flash flood about 135 million years ago. It was also reported that a several of...
Read MoreThere are two questions that are frequently asked regarding the Flood. The first one is, “If there really was a global flood, where did all that water go? The second is, “How could there be a worldwide flood? We do not have enough water to cover the whole earth above the tallest mountains. These arguments sound good on the surface until one dives a bit deeper. The answer to this question is amazingly simple yet well-known (and even Christian) scholars have never thought...
Read MoreTo explain the Ice Age, think Flood. Post-flood oceans were likely quite warm, due largely to undersea vulcanism. Warm, moist air masses from these hot oceans dumped massive precipitation over the emerging cooler continents. Near the colder center of the continents and in the higher altitudes, tremendous amounts of snow would have accumulated leading to the Ice Age. The oceans finally cooled allowing the ice to recede. According to meteorologist, Michael Oard, in his books,...
Read MoreThroughout the world, there is a sharp break between ancient rock and the sedimentary or volcanic material on top of it. This is called the “Great Unconformity.” In many places just above this break, large deposits of rock debris including very large boulders are found. It appears like a major water catastrophe planed off the existing landscape leaving the large boulders behind. This is considered by many Biblical geologists to represent the time of the initial...
Read MoreFossil Clams and Orthoceras Bedding Directions Some limestone layers found in Texas contain thousands of petrified clams. The clams are so tightly packed, they are touching each other. Clams don’t normally live nor die the way they are found. Most of the fossils are tightly closed. Since clam shells open when a clam dies, these clams were buried alive so quickly that they didn’t have a chance to dig their way out of the sediment. This mass mortality of clams...
Read MoreDerek Ager wrote a book called the Nature of the Stratigraphic Record. The book talked about how rock layers are very widespread (in some cases trans-oceanic) and showed tremendous evidence of catastrophism. One eye-opening quote was, “The history of any one part of the world is like the life of a soldier. It consists of long periods of boredom and short periods of terror.” He said it was those short periods of terror that was responsible for the bulk of the...
