What can Geology tell us about Earthquakes in the Bible? - Dr. Steve Austin (Conf Lecture)

[@billperez1141]

Love your lectures. I've learned much & much of what you have spoken of has confirms that the doubts I had in my youth in school being taught from an evolutionist point of view has not been wasted energy. Always loved science it always seem to come easy to me compared to other subjects. True I have no college degree but over the yrs. I've spent so many hours reading and studying I might have earned one if I had went onto higher education. (Was to busy working to pay for wife and child's college education). I thank our Savior Jesus Christ for you folks taking the time to share your studies. Give honor and praise to HIM who lives forever.

[@vincentklotz5849]

Dr. Austin, It may be important for you to recall that Josephus mentioned an earthquake during the time of Uzziah and a landslide occurred that affected the King's gardens. I am not a geologist, but I have researched google satellite photos trying to determine where this landslide may have occured. This may be a good research for you! Thanks

[@jamesmaybury7452]

Frank Slim I don’t greatly care how old the earth is and I think it is very hard to work out. Around us we have rounded hills with little valleys every 50m ish. If there had been millions of years of erosion here since the sediments were laid down the valleys would be deeper and join up in arêtes. What evidence are you referring to which leads you to the conclusion of millions of years?

[@alanthompson8515]

@@jamesmaybury7452 You ask for evidence for an old earth. This is easy enough to supply so long as a well-tested and confirmed assumption is accepted. That is that natural processes today operate at more or less the same rates as they have done in the past. Rivers in the past, for instance, did not flow either like treacle or like fire hoses but like they do today. This reasonable assumption is necessary since it prevents special pleading on the lines that:" Oh, back then things were different!" Once this assumption is agreed, all that is needed is simple observation and inference. Two naturally formed features should make the point - Conglomerates and Angular Unconformities. Here is evidence from my own experience. This location was the basis for the coursework practical for my Geology students. Go to (or Google) Kilkenny Bay on the Bristol Channel coast, south west of Portishead, UK. Two of the rock layers exposed in the low coastal cliffs look superficially similar. Both are made of pebbles cemented in a fine-grained matrix. Both are described as flood deposits. Both are called conglomerates. C1 and C2 for short. Closer examination shows key differences. The underlying (thus, older) bed C1 is made of smoothly rounded pebbles which frequently touch each other, leaving little room for the matrix. The pebbles are from a variety of quartz-based rocks (with occasional semi-precious jasper) none of which occur locally. Such quartzites are highly resistant to erosion, so, to round them all so smoothly, they must have been transported for a long time/distance. The nearest area with such rocks today is North Wales, over 200km away. C1 is associated with red sandstones which show depositional structures that today would be seen in tropical river systems with wet/dry seasonal rainfall patterns. The pebbles would need regular high energy conditions, such as wet season flood waters, to move them and round them. Thus the observed evidence suggests that these beds were deposited by meandering river systems flowing across an arid (red iron oxide colouration) continental environment towards the southern margin of a large landmass. The other conglomerate C2 overlies the red sandstones and C1, but lies at a different angle. This is an angular unconformity. It can only be explained as a time gap in the depositional sequence. The younger bed C2 was deposited on an uplifted, tilted and eroded land surface where C1 and the red sandstones happened to outcrop. All three of these processes take time. Unlike C1, C2 has highly variable grain sizes and consists of boulders and smaller fragments of local rocks (mainly grey limestone) bound together in a reddish matrix of finer-grained sediment. Few fragments are fully rounded; most are hardly rounded at all. This indicates a local source and a short transportation distance. Again, only a high energy environment could transport such large stones. Similar deposits are observed in hot deserts, where periodic flash floods thunder down valleys carrying all before them (trivia fact - more folk drown in deserts than die of thirst). So, in summary, the evidence suggests a period of many, many years when massive rivers rounded and deposited sands and pebbles, followed by a time gap of many, many years during which C1 becomes rock and new marine sediments were deposited above it. Then even more time is needed for crustal uplift to occur, and for the newly uplifted desert surface to be weathered, eroded and deposited as C2 on top of C1. One link among many: avonrigsoutcrop.blogspot.com/2012/05/rigs-of-month-may-portishead-foreshore.html Both C1 and C2 contain very few fossils (at least, so far!) The red beds below C1 have fossil plant roots (called calcretes) and there is one fish bed (where, it is claimed, scales and plates of the ancient fish called Bothriolepsis can be found. I’ve had no luck). The exception is C2’s large limestone boulders, which often contain fossils of extinct marine life-forms like crinoids, corals and brachiopods. Just along the coast at Portishead, the source rock for the C2 boulders outcrops and these beds contain more of the same. All these fossils, even the corals, are of extinct forms that do not resemble modern organisms. Isn’t that strange? Not ONE fossil of a currently extant species, let alone any sign of human remains. Here’s another odd thing. Wherever you look, C2 always occurs on top of C1. Never the other way round. And never as a continuous, unbroken, one-after-the-other deposit. There is ALWAYS a time gap - an unconformity. I’ve tried to keep it simple and have avoided using absolute ages. Even so, the inferred time scale for just these two beds in just this one location must run into many, many thousands of years. That’s not the whole story, but it’ll do to make the point that a maximum timescale of 10,000 years is unsustainable without resorting to supernatural interference, aka magic. That is, unless you can supply a NATURAL reason for natural processes operating at different rates in the past than those observed today. Now please find fault, if you can, with these observations and inferences.

Stop telling people that sodom and Gomorrah are on the south side of the Dead Sea! If Abraham and Lot were in Ai discussing where to go and lot chose to go east to the “cities of the plain”, then the cities of the plain are to the north of the Dead Sea! Also, Abraham had to rescue Lot when he lived in Hebron (south of Jerusalem) and passed by Salem/Jerusalem on the way home. That means he had to go north and a little East to rescue that dude. Why are basic directions disregarded when trying to locate Sodom and Gomorrah?

The fake biblical timeline that you refer to has been exposed as a fraud, a farce, a hoax, a sham, a scam, intentional disinfo and a psy-op - to be aware of the shadow of the sundial moving backwards and forward while being unaware of who has control of this world is rather peculiar. Almost everything you think is real is demonic deception, including the fake biblical timeline of nearly 6,000 years which was concocted by hybrid demons by overlaying the internally contradicting and highly-disputed timeline in the bible onto the fake historical timeline of thousands and thousands of years which is also deception because the "ancient civilizations" didn't exist thousands of years ago - Julius Caesar and Cleopatra didn't live thousands of years ago - the ancient world actually existed in the 1400's, 1500's, 1600's, 1700's and early 1800's - but lying to the the public about their artificially-elongated timeline results in the public failing to realize the pedovore overlords that control our world are the hybrid descents of the fallen angels.

I submit that earthquakes and other massive geophysical events in the Bible such as floods, fire raining on earth, darkness from falling ash, blood rain, massive hail, and are all a kind of event yet to come at the return of Christ. Jesus himself spoke of one example saying: “Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all. “It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all. It will be JUST LIKE THIS on the day the Son of Man is revealed." Luke 17: 26-30

[@nosegrindv4951]

Hi. Thank you so much for this video! But l'd like to ask something: at 30:33, he mentions the "lunar eclipse" . was this REALLY the cause of the darkness? The crucifixion of Jesus Christ occured near passover, so the moon would have been in opposition to the sun (full moon), so the darkening was not a solar eclipse. Was it a Lunar eclipse? well, no because though the lunar period would have been right for a lunar eclipse, those are only observed at nigh and they are a darkenign of the moonlight, not the sunlight. So i think the darkening of the sun is wholly supernatural. I believe God is sovereign over astonomical events and could have used celestial timing to proclaim his Christ, I also know Dr. Steve Austin to be highly intelligent and educated and would be slow to challenge his knowledge. can anybody please shed some light on this? thanks!
