What are Precambrian Rocks? - Dr. Andrew Snelling (Conf Lecture)

If you like this lecture from the 2017 IGH Conference, you can get it and over 70 more at: isgenesishisto... Dr. Snelling completed a BS in applied geology at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, graduating with first-class honors in 1975. His PhD in geology was awarded in 1982 by The University of Sydney for his research thesis titled “A Geochemical Study of the Koongarra Uranium Deposit, Northern Territory, Australia.”
Dr. Snelling worked for six years in the exploration and mining industries in Tasmania, New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia, and the Northern Territory, variously as a field, mine, and research geologist. For over ten years, Dr. Snelling was a research consultant to the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization for an international collaborative research project funded by the U.S. Department of Energy which involved university and government research scientists from the USA, UK, Australia, Japan, Korea, Sweden, Austria and Belgium.
He is currently Director of Research for Answers in Genesis.

A new direction to see for a person who has learned the million years of rock formation. I love it.

[@jdean1851]

EXCELLENT TALK!!!!!

[@jb0433628]

I was working on a project searching for shale oil, there was some places filled with marine fossils that still had the smell of decomposition. You could detach the clam and snail fossils from the rock, and organic material was still present. they claim it's millions of years old, but it was obviously not.

I look at these photos of these ("exposed") layers & I'm in awe because when compared to the earth these areas are small. I can't even begin to nor would I wish to imagine the magnitude of the terror of these people who refused to repent during Noah's Day. The Lord shut the door of the Ark & the earth under their feet began to be torn apart w/the waters of the deep erupting at what must have been supersonic speed as the weight of the ground above began to sink and put pressure on the water below, adding to the water coming from the windows of heaven as they were swept away. They were warned for 120 yrs, & we today have had 2000 yrs. of warning.

So, the beautiful granite countertops in my kitchen were directly fashioned by the Triune God? In fact, there is what is considered an “anomaly” in the main slab, a heart ❤️ shaped image of a seemingly different rock type making up the heart. Possibly a crystal. This slab came from Brazil. I have a 6,000 + year old piece of artwork in my kitchen!

Remember there was a creation flood

[@BibleResearchTools]

The earth was created and populated about 6,000-7,500 years ago during what is called the "creation week". Precambrian strata were laid down on top of the initial creation-week strata over the next 2,000 years or so. The global flood laid down the subsequent layers up to the flood/post-flood boundary.

The city of Jericho goes back 11,000 years.

[@BibleResearchTools]

David Gardner wrote, "The city of Jericho goes back 11,000 years." That timeline is based on archaeological speculation, not science. We do know with reasonable certainty that Jericho was destroyed about 1400 BC, and the ruins match the Biblical narrative. Dan

[@davidgardner863]

@@BibleResearchTools , You don’t know much about archeology do you? Creationists think that every field of science that refutes a young earth is baseless speculation yet a myth is real. Now tell me how 4 men built a 500’ boat with a bronze axe.

God didn't create anything in one week. That's only a lesson teaching us to do something productive for 6 days then nothing on the 7th to rest.

@billwilson-es5yn wrote, "God didn't create anything in one week. That's only a lesson teaching us to do something productive for 6 days then nothing on the 7th to rest." You are adding your own words to the scripture. That is a no, no. Dan

Genesis 1:2 the earth became (was) void and darkness was upon the face of the deep. The question is how long was darkness upon the face of the deep? Could have been 3 billion years until God brings light and land. What do you think about this?

[@diamondlife-gi7hg]

old earth explains it young earth is just counting the human genealogies. T-rex didn't need to be on the ark because he would already be dead long ago and you can date this flood further into history so you wouldn't contradict archaeological finds that are older than the young earth flood. So, the problems come a long when people assume the world is young. The bible itself never says the world is young and the creation days dont need to be literal 24 hour days but epochs or ages. So, convincing people that the world is young is misleading and causing people to doubt the bible because science tells us the world is 4.5 billion years old. The bible doesn't tell us the world is young. Its all interpretation.

[@garyfoster3289]

@@diamondlife-gi7hg my point is in Genesis 1:1 may contain 4.5 Billion years with 1.5 Billion years needed to cool the Earth and 3 Billion years with the Earth being with no life and under ocean water. The Mantle existing but under water (Genesis 1:2). No life at all. Then God created life in six days and removed the dust clouds from the atmosphere to let the light come in. Time at this point was nonexistent since Adam and Eve were eternal beings. IMO they may have lived in Eden 200,000 years or more. But approximately 10,000 years ago was the Fall and time for them began as they were kicked out of Eden. Hence, the modern human era. That’s the way I see it. May God be blessed.

The age of the Earth is not an issue as, the Earth was already there before Creation, without form & void.

[@tarquinmidwinter2056]

Is this the same Dr Andrew Snelling who wrote that 'the oldest rocks in the Koongarra area,...... are of Archaean age (ie to geologists this means they are older than 2500 million years)'? Yes? Ah, so he is a proper geologist after all; he just keeps his creation stuff separate from his work as a proper geologist.

[@PaDutchRunner]

Tarquin Midwinter do you have a source/citation?

[@VernCrisler]

Snelling uses the same geological terminology that everyone else uses. Why wouldn't he? That does not mean, however, that he accepts the geological time scale.

[@Mwaynick]

As a geologist, I can say this guy has lost his mind. I’d love to see any of his hypotheses tested to see if he could then say it’s theory. A worldwide flood isn’t going to create something like the Grand Canyon. You need to have strata being lifted and exhumed, not flooded.

[@IsGenesisHistory]

Thank you for your feedback @michaelwaynick7465, But at no point in this video or elsewhere does Dr. Snelling claim the global Flood created the Grand Canyon. Rather, we think the Grand Canyon was carved after the Flood. Please see the following paper for more information: Austin, S. , Holroyd, E. W. , & McQueen, D. R. (2020). Remembering Spillover Erosion of Grand Canyon. Answers Research Journal, 13, 153-188. answersresearchjournal.org/remembering-erosion-grand-canyon/.

See the documentary Is Genesis History for the truth about The flood and The Grand Canyon

[@Mwaynick]

@@IsGenesisHistory this isn’t a research paper… this is some thoughts thrown out without solid science to back it up.

[@Mwaynick]

@@ronwood7029he says things like “the schist and gneiss form the core of the continent, somehow related to creation week I think”. Wtf this guy isn’t a scientist with statements like that. Let’s take another example… he thinks that the scour surface and unconformity is the onset of the flood and the 4000’ of strata is somehow deposited by the flood…. That’s impossible. There are no sedimentary processes that can be explained with reason in a single flood.

[@Mwaynick]

@@IsGenesisHistoryas a sedimentologist and stratigrapher, a catastrophic spillover of a lake can’t erode a mile deep into strata and granite.
