According to Wikipedia, the Colorado Plateau rose up 20 million years ago. -Based on 7 in of erosion / 1000 years, in 20 million years, 11,666 ft would erode. The Colorado plateau is currently between 5000-7000 ft elevation. So was the plateau 17,000 ft tall??
Read MoreOut of Order Fossils
Some rock layers contain fossils that are found out of the supposed evolutionary order, i.e. older fossils on top of younger fossils. This is usually explained by a concept called “overthrusting.” In this process, rock layers break up and one section is uplifted. Forces push the one layer containing the older fossils over the top of the younger layers. In some cases, there seems to be evidence of this, and at other times there is absolutely no evidence. But we...
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 MoreThe Great Unconformity
Throughout 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 MoreUndersea Canyons
Far out on the continental shelf below hundreds of feet of water are very large canyons. How did they get there? Perhaps the ocean level was much lower in the past allowing canyon carving offshore. This fits nicely with the Biblical Flood. During the Flood, the whole earth was covered by water. According to Psalm 104 (NAS), the mountains rose up and the valleys sank down. Water filled the oceanic trenches to a great depth lowering the global sea level. Other large bodies...
Read MoreOld Mountains – Young Mountains
How do young earth, Flood geologists explain different age mountain ranges? ANSWER: Because of the violent nature of the Flood waters, mountains that existed before the Flood or that raised up during the early part of the Flood would have been planed off leaving what appears now to be an ancient mountain range. Those mountains rising during later stages of the Flood would have been greatly eroded, but not totally planed off. They would appear today to be mid-age mountains....
Read MoreSpecimen Ridge
Specimen Ridge in Yellowstone National Park consists of many layers containing standing petrified trees. These trees were assumed to represent 27 successive forests which were each buried by volcanic eruptions, separated by long spans of time. If this is right, why do trees in different layers have the same ring structure? Where are the soil zones between forests? Why are the roots broken off? The 1980 Mt. St. Helens eruption answered our questions and altered our view of...
Read MoreSplit Mountain
Split Mountain in the Anza Borego Desert in southern California is a monument to catastrophic flood geology. An earthquake split the 600 foot mountain ridge open and revealed it was composed chiefly of large, water-worn, boulders up to the size of a large dump truck. This pile of boulders would not have accumulated slowly and gradually over millions of years- since large boulders like that take a major, high velocity current to move. Layer after layer of these boulders...
Read MoreStalactites and Time
We are told it takes a hundred years to form one inch of stalactite material. However, an underground wing of the Milwaukee Public Museum had a problem with the roof leaking. They boarded it up. Ten years later, stalactites were found which were 6 feet long. Using the normally accepted accumulation rate, we can calculate that the underground wing must be 7200 years old – making the museum the oldest building in North America! Time is not the hero of the plot. It is...
