Read MoreWoah – what happened there?!?!…At the speed of sound??
“Alhambra Rock juts up northeast of Monument Pass, an errant monument with a very unusual origin. It is one of several diatremes in the region. It formed about 30 million years ago when a gas-driven vortex of material blasted upward from below Earth’s crust. It contains pieces of Earth’s mantle and of the rocks it punched through. Possibly moving faster than the speed of sound, the material probably followed old Precambrian faults. The rock is kimberlite, the type of...
Read MoreA swimming school of fish frozen in sand!
It must have been a really rapid burial event!! “The scientific team also highlighted a number of other fascinating examples of what they called “frozen behaviours” in fossils: “examples include fighting dinosaurs, queueing trilobites and insects in copulation. These fossils are assumed to result from rapid burial, which preserves individual positions during interactions”. Yes indeed, but this is completely contrary to the uniformitarian ‘slow-n-gradual’...
Read MoreIs the Old-Age Soft-Tissue Problem Solved??
Recently, someone shared a possible solution to the Soft-Tissue Challenges for millions-of-years models. (https://www.earthmagazine.org/article/dinosaur-soft-tissues-preserved-polymers) I see the advancements there for trying to preserve these chemicals for millions of years, but as I did a little more research, there still seem to be reasons to be skeptical (as we ought to be as scientists, right?!). Definitely a topic that we will need to keep studying! I...
Read MoreGeology – Evidence for the Flood – Right?
Recently, we were referred to an article titled “Common Creationist Attacks on Geology.” (https://ncse.ngo/common-creationist-attacks-geology) It was published in 1980 which makes it more than 40 years old now. I was not too impressed with that article as many of the arguments are largely based on assumptions and misunderstood Creationist arguments. Yes, it is possible that the long-age uniformitarian explanations are possible, but it appears like there are many more...
Read MoreAncient Earth – a water world?
If the whole Earth used to be covered with so much water, how did tectonic activity allow the continents to rise up enough with such slow changes?… Let alone how did the Earth keep all its water when first forming? (Collisions of the first space rocks around the newly formed Sun would have vaporized the water into space!) I think the Earth Science evidence points to God creating it! “We find that water storage capacity in a hot, early mantle may have been...
Read MoreDino Bones Found Near the North Pole!
“This would give the region about 120 days of total darkness each year, making it difficult for dinosaurs to survive in such an extreme cold climate.1 Evolutionary theory provides no explanation for why dinosaurs would be buried in such environments—but Bible-based Flood geology does. For 70 years now, dinosaurs found in supposedly polar climates have baffled secular paleontologists due to the cold conditions they would have faced and the long periods of darkness...
Read MoreDeath Valley – a Large Ice Age Lake!!
Death Valley was a large lake during the ice age!! This is a Huge Challenge for Secular Ice Age Models! “These ‘once-wet’ deserts are extremely difficult for a uniformitarian earth scientist to explain, because their Ice Age models require a very cold and thus much drier climate than we have today… …An Ice Age requires abundant precipitation (moisture condensing out of the air) to make the ice sheets, and to fill the ancient Ice Age lakes. The problem the...
Read MoreFascinating Dating Argument:
“Radiometric dating is not objective science. It is not like measuring the length of something, or its weight. Scientists don’t argue about the chemical composition of a rock, because measurements like that are objective, experimental science. However, they do argue over calculated dates because every calculation is based on assumptions about the past, assumptions that cannot be checked because we do not have a time machine. And if the dates are unappealing...
Read MoreVenus could be geologically active – a potential problem for billions of years!
“Active volcanism on Venus may not necessarily be a problem for uniformitarianism. In any case, it is worth pointing out that this is just one in a long list of solar system discoveries that surprised secular scientists. They were surprised that Mercury had a magnetic field.7 They were surprised that our Moon is still geologically active, and that lunar rockfalls are still occurring.8,9 They were surprised by Jupiter’s moon Io, Saturn’s moon Enceladus, Saturn’s moon...
Read MoreBent Rock Layers – Evidence of the Flood!
“Normally, solid rock cannot bend without breaking, so this leaves only two options for bending: either the rock layer was bent while still soft, shortly after being deposited by water, or after the layer had fully hardened, it was bent by pressures which made the rock plastic, like playdough. Geologists who believe the layers were laid down over millions of years accept the latter option.” One geologist’s in-depth, four year study concludes: “By comparing the...
Read MoreIf you are an evolutionist, consider these:
“All three disciplines [Biology, Geology/Paleontology, and Cosmology] are replete with evidence that is inconsistent with the [Naturalistic Evolutionary] paradigm. For example, evidence from genetics clearly shows that mutations, rather than creating new and ever-more complex DNA as required by evolution, cause continuous degradation of DNA. Geneticist, Dr John Sanford, calls this genetic entropy and it eventually causes extinction. This happens so fast that humans...
