Geological Evidences for a Young Earth - Pt 1

[@marcussheffield7221]

Thanks for your work!

[@taylorthetunafish5737]

Geology proves that the earth is 4.5 billion years old.

[@BhikPersonal]

​@@taylorthetunafish5737 The principle of Uniformitarianism: "The present is the key to the past" upon which we get the date of the Earth to be 4.5 billion years ago is an unfalsifiable principle as it is not falsifiable by real historical science. Therefore we dismiss Uniformitarian geology as pseudoscience. Also, Astronomy refutes the claim that the whole Universe including the Earth is billions of years old and it proves that the whole Universe including the Earth is less than 10,000 years old. We directly observe supernovas (blowing up of stars) occurring on an average of every 30 years and the fact that there are less than 300 supernova remnants in the entire universe and not 100s of millions of supernovas that we should observe if the entire Universe is billions of years old. And nobody has ever seen a star form and nor has anyone brought up a plausible theory for how any of these stars form on their own. So by keeping the age of the Universe falsifiable by written records and pedigree mutation rates in the mitochondria, we can reasonably extrapolate the age of the universe based on the observations of the frequency of supernovas and supernova remnants and we can reasonably conclude that the age of the universe including Earth is less than 10,000 years.

[@taylorthetunafish5737]

@@BhikPersonal The principle of uniformitarianism is not how we figured out the age of the earth. You think mutation rates of mitochondria reveal the age of the universe? Are you serious? Written records are not how we know the age of the earth, humans have only been around for 100,000 years and we didn't always know how to write. Astronomy does not refute the age of the earth or universe. Astronomy supports the universe being 13.8 billion years old. Nothing in reality proves the earth is less than 10,000 years old. You want to believe it, regardless of all the evidence to the contrary. Your inability to grasp science is not a valid argument against it.

It is always funny to hear little kindergarten children talking about their imaginary friends and it's very interesting for psychological studies. Once they grow older, they can be called "real people". Now they have the behavior of Stone Age people. But it's good to have an imaginary friend as a child, who can reassure you when you're of an age you can't yet understand how the world works, surronded by a lot of crazy childs. Stone Age people were masters at making stone axes and other stone tools. But then someone came up with the idea of explaining the origin of the world. With the knowledge of how to make stone tools. And living in the center of the universe on a flat earth. The result was? The Bible. So you can say, "The Bible is a Stone Age tool for explaining the universe." Modern people are already using laser tools. But nothing prevents anybody from continuing to use Stone Age tools. Maybe in 2 million years of evolution a lot of earthlings reach the level of modern people. Cognitive Dissonance “Sometimes people hold a core belief that is very strong. When they are presented with evidence that works against that belief, the new evidence cannot be accepted. It would create a feeling that is extremely uncomfortable, called cognitive dissonance. And because it is so important to protect the core belief, they will rationalize, ignore and even deny anything that doesn't fit in with the core belief.” Frantz Fanon

[@marculatour6229]

Thank God! We live on a disc of earth at the center of the universe and everything revolves around us. Could it be that's why some of us are dizzy in the brain and therefore can't think straight? But then someone comment what I wrote with: "We are not in the centre of the universe." Then I asked: "And how can you explain that all religious people are dizzy in the brain? This in the middle thing must be the reason. It is absolutly sensless to create a universe where not the humans life in the center of it and every thing revolves not around them. That would make all human live insignificant and also every god. Have you ever heard something about "irony"?"

Back in the 1970's, I took a geology class. The instructor spoke of "pillow lava" which has been found all over the world, even atop mountains. Just before our class, there had been a volcanic eruption in the Hawaii islands, and underwater filming had been done for the first time. They could see pillow lava being formed - a unique form only created underwater. Because of this, he began to believe in a global flood as well. God's creation proves itself again and again.

Not geological uplift, then?

[@angelalewis3645]

[@boxelder9167]

@@StudentDad-mc3pu- Geological uplift is in most (if not all) global flood models in that the flood waters are running off of the uplifting contents. There are vast mountain ranges where the tops of the mountains are planed off suggesting that they were at a higher altitude during the flood than the uplifted late flood mountains. In general though the water had to go somewhere which would have the heavier ocean basalt sinking while the lighter granite would be uplifted. It is interesting to note that the geological topography of Mars is explained by it’s global flood yet it currently has no surface water but the same geological topography on Earth is not seen as being formed by a flood by the secular community. However there has been some movement towards local flooding in recent decades which would have to be all over the world. So local flooding all over the world is being considered but just not all at once as that’s too close to the Biblical description.

[@StudentDad-mc3pu]

@@boxelder9167 Mountain ranges are formed by the collision of continents - water 'running off' land does not cause uplift this is pure fantasy with no evidence whatsoever. Mount ranges are still forming, continents are still moving. Mars never suffered a global flood and it's topography is largely volcanic - where are you getting this stuff?

[@boxelder9167]

@@StudentDad-mc3pu - Wow. Type “Global Flood on Mars” into the search engine. You’ll find a ton of stuff about that from NASA’s observations and from the Mars rover. The second part is buoyancy. Continental crust is lighter than oceanic crust. Just like putting the ice in a glass of water the ice floats up to the top only rock is floating on molting rock. Push down on one part of the water bed and the other side goes up. Add a bunch of weight to the ocean floor and something else will lift up. Sure we also can get uplift from colliding plates but why do we have moving plates in the first place? But just follow one layer across a continent (often they span multiple continents). Say that layer is anywhere between 20’ thick and 5’ feet thick. How do you get a consistent layer of sediment across an entire continent without that being deposited by a sheet of moving water? Your only other option is wind and wind isn’t going to bury a whale in the middle of a continent however water could. I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that water washed across the entire continent producing uniform layers of sediment and buried the whales and the dinosaurs found in those layers in the same process. That’s a really big flood. Since we find this on all continents I am going to go out on another limb and say that it was a global flood. Since we find entire mountain ranges with the tops planed off at the same altitude I am going to go out on another limb here and say that the water in that flood was deep, about the depth of the mountains with their tops flattened out.

[@GSpotter63]

So in other words frome the very beginning the Geologic column, evolution and deep time was based on their assumptions of how the layers were formed and not frome actual experimental data... That would explain how they could have gotten it all wrong.

[@Harpazo_to_Yeshua]

Because their whole motivation from the beginning is anti-God, so they seek to go against everything the bible shows us. The bible shows young earth? They will desperately claim "science" shows "old" earth. They are not seeking truth; they're seeking to brainwash everyone to ignore the truth.

But everyone can believe that our Earth is only 6000 years old. That only depends on are you a fool or not. I think our earth and universe are only 2 days old and where conjured up by an extraterrestrial. All geologic features we see are conjured up 2 days ago and there exist no natural processes. This is true. A lot of humans are to stupid to see the truth. Making an absurdity even more absurd automatically makes that absurdity true. This you can see in the The Great Book Of Fantasy And Fiction. In a foreign language it is named by some extraterrestrials E-L-B-I-B-E-H-T. I am a preacher. I am the creator of the truth.

Dr Walt Brown has a superior presentation for a working global flood model. Dr Gentry should be mentioned here as well, his work on Granite, world wide, shows scientific results, proving a young earth.

[@davidjanbaz7728]

[@seekertruth3577]

@canadiankewldude: I once was lost [an atheist -- evolutionist] by now I’m found [creationist]. I regret the wasted years. The widely accepted age of the universe is currently 13.77 billion years and for the solar system (including Earth) it is 4.543 billion years. However, no scientific method can prove the age of the Earth and the universe. Although age indicators are called ‘clocks’ they are not, because all ages result from calculations that necessarily involve making assumptions about the past. The starting time of the ‘clock’ has always to be assumed as well as the way in which the speed of the clock has varied over time. Further, it has to be assumed that the clock was never disturbed. Ages of millions of years are all calculated by assuming the rates of change of processes in the past were the same as we observe today-called the principle of uniformitarianism. If the age calculated from such assumptions disagrees with what they think the age should be, *they conclude that their assumptions did not apply in this case, and adjust them accordingly. If the calculated result gives an acceptable age, the investigators publish it.* Dr. Robert Gentry provides credible evidence for the young age of the earth, and so does Creation.com website. Evolution caught on because it seemed like a sound idea. There are many people with intellectual excuses, but few with intellectual problems - Have you met some of them? Excuses can cover a multitude of reasons. We can greatly respect a man who has taken time to investigate the claims of God and concludes he just can't believe. I have a rapport with a man who knows why he does not believe [factually and historically], for I know why I believe [factually and historically]. This gives us a common ground [though different conclusions]. Most people reject God for one or more of the following reasons: *1.)* - *Ignorance* - Romans 1:18-23 [often self-imposed], Matthew 22:29 *2.)* - *Pride* - John 5:40-44 *3.)* - *Moral Problem* - John 3:19-20 *4.)* - *Accountability* Matthew 12:36-37 The subject of strata beds leads to the interesting question as to how these layers were formed, and why the evolutionists have *guesstimated* their age in the billions of years. The dating of those layers has been done on the basis of the *theory of uniformity.* This theory *assumes* that all the natural processes at work in the past have operated exactly as they do today. In other words, we can only explain the creation of those strata on the basis of what we see happening in the world now. How long does it require now for a foot-deep stratum? Then that age is assigned to any 12-inch layer, no matter how deeply located within the earth. Is that a valid assumption to make? Have all the natural forces of the past been just what we can demonstrate and understand today? *How naive and conceited to compel ages past to conform to our limited observation and experience. We can assume what we please, but it proves absolutely nothing.* The Bible describes very graphically a flood that ravaged the face of this earth, *covering the highest mountains and completely destroying all plant and animal life outside the ark.* The destructive action of the deluge is expressed by these words in the Bible: "The same way were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights." [Genesis 7:11-12]. The existence of those strata can be scientifically accounted for in perfect harmony with the Biblical record. *The universal flood of Genesis provides a much more reasonable explanation of the strata than evolution's speculations.* As the waters receded from the earth, powerful tides and currents carved out the great canyons in a short time. Layers of debris, according to the specific weight, were laid down, compressing plant and animal life into a compact seam or stratum. Only thus can we explain the vast oil reserves and coal beds around the world. These are the product of vegetation and animal bodies being buried under extreme heat and pressure. *No such process of fossilization is taking place today.* No oil or coal is formed by present natural forces at work. *The closest thing we can find is a few peat bogs which, if buried long enough, might become coal.* -- Uniformity fails here. Mountains form where two [convergent plate boundaries] continental plates collide. They crumple and fold until the rocks are forced up to form a mountain range. Mountains are usually formed at what is called convergent plate boundaries, *meaning a boundary at which two plates are moving towards one another.* This type of boundary eventually results in a collision. Continental drift collisions take a long time, as plates only shift a few centimeters each year, but they can still be powerful enough to form the Earth's largest mountain ranges. *Today, the theory of continental drift has been replaced by the science of plate tectonics.* *Plate tectonics is a theory in geology that explains how the Earth's oceans and continents move over long periods of time.* Tectonic plates are composed of lithosphere, which is a layer of the Earth made up of the crust and upper mantle. *These plates float on the layer below, called the asthenosphere, and the continents move with them.* Plate tectonics has been supported by evidence from both the fossil record and instruments used to measure the movement of continents and the spread of the ocean floor. It explains the existence of a supercontinent Pangea, and how Pangea broke apart to become the seven continents on the planet today. Continental drift is the reason that Pangea no longer exists. Tectonic plates shift a few inches per year, moving the continents and oceans with them. *Interesting occurrences happen at the boundaries of these tectonic plates, including earthquakes, volcanoes, *and mountain range formations.* Each type of plate boundary is associated with specific geologic formations and behaviors. Convergent plate boundaries are characteristic of places where two plates are moving toward each other. Due to differences in the density and temperature of the two tectonic plates, subduction often occurs at these boundaries. There are three types of convergent plate boundaries: oceanic-oceanic, oceanic-continental, and continental-continental. At oceanic-oceanic convergent boundaries, two tectonic plates converge and form an oceanic trench. At oceanic-continental plate boundaries - places where an oceanic plate meets a continental plate - the oceanic plate subducts under the continental plate due to differences in density. *In the case of continental-continental plate boundaries, the collision of the two plates produces mountain ranges like the Himalayas;* neither tectonic plate subducts in this case. Visit Sciencing.com *Now, the Bible's global flood complements the above.* Every detail of the landscape makes sense within the Bible’s 6,000-year timeframe as far as the eye can see - down to the individual rocks and the microscopic crystals inside them. Mountains and hills occurred at a much faster pace in the past, especially during two unique events revealed in God’s Word - the six-day Creation *and the global Flood.* The Apostle Peter says the Lord originally made the earth and then “destroyed” it in a global Flood [2 Peter 3:5,6], forming new landscapes, including the mountain chains we see today. You just have to know what you’re looking for. During the global flood, that *single* supercontinent [Pangaea] was torn apart as the fountains of the great deep broke up [Genesis 7:11], and as the continental plates then tore across the globe it was inevitable some would collide with one another, creating Asia, Africa, North America, South America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia. Also, Microcontinents such as Zealandia broke away from the continents of Australia and Antarctica, and the South and North islands of New Zealand, and northwest towards the islands that make up New Caledonia. Wegener was convinced that all of Earth’s continents were once part of an enormous, *single large supercontinent called Pangaea.* that existed in the southern hemisphere, clustered near the Antarctic Circle before it began to break up consisting of the modern-day continents. When the African plate crashed into North America, it pushed up the lower layers. You could never see these lower layers unless some extraordinary earth movement pushed them upward (or a canyon was cut deep into the earth like at Grand Canyon). The theory of *continental drift [Tectonic plates]* is most associated with the scientist Alfred Wegener. In the early 20th century, Wegener published a paper explaining his theory that the continental landmasses were “drifting” across the Earth, sometimes plowing through oceans and into each other. He called this movement continental drift. Continental Drift from Pangea to Today

You know, we really don't have to be afraid of science. If you've been following the findings of the people in the Discovery Institute, you can see that the latest scientific findings actually support creation! (Although they are careful not to frame it that way because they are active in the scientific community). We need to remember: the Bible has never purported to be a historical document, but rather it's God's message to us. That's the more important thing: the message of salvation for mankind. We simply don't know the length of time between Creation and Abraham (with a concrete mention of Ur). So the test is: Does the Bible clash with evidence discovered so far? 1. If we go with the view that God created everything and we don't care about the stated time period that took, then we have no conflict with the findings of paleontologists, geologists, etc.and we can focus on God's message to us. 2. If we go with the view that God created everything in 6 literal 24 hour days and the earth is much younger than what the geologists, paleontologists etc have discovered... that just gives those who already don't believe in God and Jesus more ammo to attack us with. It's perfectly fine to let them claim the earth is billions of years old! Atheists have already done the maths and worked out that IF evolution was true, the time scale required is in the hundreds of trillions of years! Even with the recent DOUBLING of the age of the universe, that only makes the universe some 26+ billion years old. A far, far, cry from the hundreds of trillions of years required. Then take into account the "Goldilocks" nature of our solar system and earth. How it is perfectly fine tuned to support life that even the minutest deviation in so many different factors (distance of Earth from sun, angle of tile of the earth, speed of rotation etc.) would make life impossible. I do wish you'd focus on highlighting all the latest scientific discoveries that SUPPORT creation rather than go down this rabbit hole of a young earth.

So to be sure a protein will form you have to try many more times than there are atoms in the universe, which means by trying over and over again it’s very possible you exhaust all materials before you can get lucky. It can try once a second, so to be sure it succeeds, is has to try 10 to the power of 164 years(hundreds of trillions of years), while the universe is supposed to be just 4.5 billion years(that is half of 10 to the power of 9). But let’s say a protein succeeds at forming once. Because there is no creator and no blueprint, the protein is not fully functioning, might not have immune and reproductive systems, since there is no intent and no knowledge of the need to have those systems. So the protein dies and has to do it again, hoping next time it will do it right, because there is no blueprint, there is no consciousness to remember the data from before. Now let’s say the protein gets it right and manages to stay alive. To form just a single cell, it has to do it 200 times more, because in a simple cell there are hundreds of proteins. So if it succeeds, after all this time, you only have one cell. It still has to keep evolving until you have us. Now all of this is only possible if all laws of the universe exist and work together at the same time to sustain life that might appear(gravity, magnetic field, atmosphere, law of induction etc). Considering that the ozone was formed only in the past 2 billion years, whatever formed would have been damaged by radiation from the Sun. See where the problem with evolution is? Way too many perfect things to happen over way too long a period of time , all by accident. It cannot be done without a blueprint, intelligent design. Like I said, basic math with valid, proven information from chemistry. You can do more research if you want, this is obviously not all there is, it’s just the most basic explanation

Next, you can not stipulate the results of an evolutionary product the way you did. I bet there were untold reactions that occurred that gave untold numbers of products that turned out to have some sort of what we call function. What if it took only 2 or 5 or ten fragments to make your protein or millions of others like insulin along the way. Apparently it only takes about 300 genes/proteins to sustain life.

Just a tidbit, orthodox christians affirm a 7500 yo Earth instead of 6000. In Orthodox Christianity we still use the Septuagint translation of the Old Testament (close to 2nd century BC), which far predates the Masoretic text. The Roman Catholics also used to use the same text pre and post-Schism, but somewhat in recent modern history they swapped to the Masoretic. The genealogies contain some slightly longer lifespans for the first sets of generations, which leads to Earth being 7500 yo. The problem is that the Masoretic Old Testament is a product of 8th-9th century AD Rabbinical Jewish scholar work, who's bias we simply can't accept. The protestants seemed to have embraced this instead of the traditional Septuagint, which St Paul himself quoted.

The Catastrophic Tectonics has the BAsalt floor of the ocean it would expand putting greater pressure on the Granite BAsalt interface, this would create a weakness in an already weak area, the interface, allowing HydroPlate theory a crack to allow the escape from the undergrand chambers, and this explosion provides the initiation and high speed of the early TEctonics movement.

"Why are there no human remains, or even remains of modern organism found with the dinosaurs? " For the same reason you don't find them with elephant bones. And many animals separate themselves from others and need different ecological supports. "The number of elephants and the food it would take to feed them would take up almost 60% of the Ark by themselves" They only needed a pair of the kind. Even evolution had to start off with a pair of woolly - Eritherium is the smallest, oldest and most primitive elephant ancestor discovered. It grew to about 60cm, fed on wet vegetation... - gotta love science! "How did the polar bears make it to the North Pole (along with all the other arctic species that would need to make that journey) if the ark landed somewhere in the Middle East?" What do you know of the earth's geology and climate at that time? You don't think it was just like today do you? Answer for yourself, what did the polar bear do during the ice age? Did it travel with the cold temps and ice flows down to the southern parts of the earth and then follow it back? "A flood of that magnitude would destroy every terrestrial plant and all the seeds that produce them How did those plants repopulate the earth." Seeds are very hardy things. Some can survive 15 years in adverse conditions including flooding and still germinate when the conditions are right. Seeds have also been found in birds, floating on water, on floating debris, on dead animals. trees floating on the water, animal dung, etc. "What did the humans and animals eat once they got off the ark? There is not plant life at that point." As answered before, by that time many plants were already growing - it only takes 30 days for radishes to grow and moringa to get harvested - you really should get out of the city more and discover God's green earth in the countryside.

How do we know there was volcanoes during the flood and for a very fine thin layer of ash to settle so evenly around the world during a catastrophic global flood with tsunamis and volcanoes and chaos everywhere wouldn't happen.

[@billwebb554]

From what I understand that appears to be from the asteroid that is a possible explanation for ending the dinosaurs. It also has iridium in it which is commonly found in asteroids.

Which then would point to a older date for God creating everything

[@whyaskwhybuddry]

@oldearthcreationguy6082 The problem with the "Dinosaur Impact Theory", is that the Gulf of Mexico is over 2,000 miles from the Morrison Formation in the American and Canadian West. At best, such an impact would cause a Tsunami only a few hundred miles inland. The Morrison formation is a mass grave of both ocean creatures, Dinosaurs and modern birds buried in a Watery sediment. Many longed necked Dinos are in the asphyxiation pose as they had their heads up trying to breathe before becoming buried by another Moon Driven layer of Flood Sediment. The other thing to consider is that volcanic ash is a huge catalyst for fossilization. Just 2 yrs after Mt St Helens erupted, trees that were known to be 20 yrs old were found fossilized. Fossilization doesn't take millions or even thousands of years. It can be done in 3 weeks in a University Lab with biologic material rapidly buried under high pressure Watery sediment with just a little heat.

[@mmaimmortals]

@dekutree64 Land would be intermittently exposed during the Flood. With continents moving, the ocean floor being rearranged, and huge tidal waves, tectonic activity would be the norm, hence wide spread volcanism. The ash layers you see are probably volcanic in nature. And even if they were from meteor impacts, it’s still catastrophic and fast. Plenty of opportunity for dust and ash to settle onto exposed land and on water to soon be docked on land as tides move in and out. And it isn’t as uniform as you suppose anyway. In the western US there are dinosaur fossils at ground level all over the place. Which means no ash layer above them. And they are mixed in marine sediments. Which sharply contradicts the dino extinction story assumed by evolutionists. How did the marine sediments get 3000 feet (much higher in some places) above sea level and drown the dinosaurs? Also, the alleged impacted is to the Southeast, but the sediment cross bedding seems to be coming from the Northwest and moving to the Southeast. And the erosional remnants of the Grand Canyon are moving toward the Southwest. That doesn’t make any sense if the cause of the mass kill was Chixalub.

The Bible does not teach a global flood. You must use hermeneutics and logic to determine the meaning of a text, not just what it says. Context determines meaning. You don't have to subscribe to YEC in order to "believe" the Bible. The contradiction is with their interpretation of the Bible. YEC is based only on a myopic understanding of Genesis. After that, they perform all sorts of creative hoops in order to posit a way in which their YEC results could have happened or dismiss scientific conclusions and processes.

The text tells us that the ark landed in the mountains of Ararat. The base elevation there today is about 6000 feet, agree? And for the ark to come to rest there, the water must have been noticeably higher than that to float the ark, agree? How can you hermeneutically analyze that without realizing even Denver, Colorado would had to have been 1000 feet under water? At that point, why still argue?

@@KenJackson_US If the global flood were so cataclysmic, why would the mountains of Arafat still be there? In fact, the landmarks all still seem to be in the same locations. You're assuming that it was a global flood. A local flood could have relocated the ark. More importantly, you're also presupposing a literal interpretation of the text when it's not warranted in Genesis 1-11. What does your genre analysis tell you?

Ha, I used to know a geology PhD student and saw him receive a rock sample back from the lab which had dated it for him. He said, “These aren’t the dates I was expecting, no where near.” Having said that, be packed the rocks right back up and sent them again with a note stating the dates he was expecting to see. Lo and behold they came back again with the “right” dates! 🤡

The Grand Canyon was formed by a Lava Flow of volcanic activity flowing over a SEA BED and buried a RIVER of water under the rock. Over time the river washed out the sea bed, to form a canyon under the earth and the ceiling of rock fell in , and formed the Grand Canyon. Such events happen all over the Earth , but I cannot say it all happened at the same time.

I think it is pretty obvious that the GC is the result of receding sheet flow. It’s the fractile nature of the rim geometry that gives it away.

The interviewer missed the obvious. The reason the world denies the young age of the flood is that to acknowledge it is to acknowledge the viability and veracity of the Bible and also what God says about their personal judgement because of the original Sin.!

[@StudentDad-mc3pu]

Then since the Bible is wrong about the age of the earth, it must be wrong about that too. Your argument works both ways, except not a single scientist gives one thought to the veracity or not of any religious text, they simply follow evidence. It is only people trying to preserve their religious dogma to that work backwards from preconceived ideas.

​@kylethedalek "Plus how many times did science get it wrong?" Please tell me you're joking. First, science is a methodology that has been refined in different ways over the centuries; it is not an entity unto itself "gets it wrong". Secondly, of course things have been incorrect about certain hypotheses in the past. In case you are unaware, scientists have gotten newer and better data as the years have gone by. Your question would be analogous to me asking you why you didn't know everything that you know now when you were four years old. Get it? If you find the scientific method so untrustworthy, perhaps you should not be on the internet, as it was scientists that are almost exclusively responsible for the invention of this medium. Remember, "there (*their*) evidence can be wrong, corrupted and so on" for this internet to be working properly. Somehow, I'm guessing that you are accepting of this research; it's almost certainly the findings that you don't like that you not very accepting of.

[@cookclan]

When was the flood?

[@johnberkley6942]

The old testament provides written geneologies that go from the time when the accounts were written down, right back to Adam and Eve. Whether we accept there was or wasn't an Adam and Eve doesn't matter for the purposes of the argument. When you add the 2,000 years of the Christian era, the age generally quoted by Biblical absolutists is somewhere between 4,500 and 6,000 years. This is so far away from the generally accepted age of the earth, and the humans on it, the idea is dismissed by evolutionists and uniformitarians as preposterous. It wasn't always so. With the advent of the theory of evolution, a mechanism for supporting theories in other domains was quickly developed. This became the new 'truth', and the old models were discarded. Over the years any inconvenient 'yes, but' arguments have been ignored, or subsumed into the accepted model in some way to maintain the status quo. The universe, the mind-boggling complexities of DNA and cell machinery take a lot more faith to swallow as deriving from mere chance than they used to, but it's easier to stick to the story you believe. It's scary to honestly confront the possibility there might be an author of the universe. It's easier to hold on to your own autonomy. I'm biased. I believe in the God described in the bible. So of course I'm going to be open to reasoned arguments that support the story that the bible tells.

I often wonder why the young Earth creationist geologists don't emphasize the depth, purity, and breath of the individual layers more often. Of course, I'm only a third the way through the video today, but I don't remember much on it from the first time I watched it. But the Grand Canyon, for instance, gives us an amazing cross-section to see the depth and purity of each mineral layer. And I hear the breath of some layers covers hundreds of square miles . Which begs the question, what besides a global flood could even cause these layers?
