Select the book cover for the Woodmorappe Biography
Over the years the author has developed a unique model, based upon the Genesis
Flood, for the distribution of land vertebrates, stratigraphic separation of
fossils, supposed correlation of the geological column, dating methods, and
other matters important to flood geology and creationism. Originally published
in the Creation Research Society Quarterly and presented at the International
Conferences on Creationism, these materials have been combined into this single
volume. This work is intended for the serious student of flood geology.
"...should prove interesting and valuable to anyone seriously
interested in the Flood model...John Woodmorappe is a meticulous
researcher."
--THINK
AND BELIEVE (Jan./Feb. 1994)
"He has demonstrated that he is not one to avoid dealing with the
difficult issues and 'problem' areas facing us, as he does so in these papers.
His arguments are well reasoned, persuasive, and thoroughly documented."
CREATION
EX NIHILO TJ (July-Dec. 1995)
Creationists have done much work to show why evolution is false and how the
evidence points to God creating all life, but very little to show how a single
worldwide Flood accounts for most of the earth's features, including
fossiliferous rock. This book goes a long way to fill in the gap.
* Stands without apology for a six 24-hr day Creation of the earth and universe
only several
thousand
years ago, and the global Flood.
* Never invokes extra-Biblical miracles, nor ad hoc catastrophes.
* Scholarly, but free from advanced mathematics.
* Focuses on unifying principles, not narrow topics.
* Is Flood-centered throughout, not just conventional geology with Flood
explanations tacked
on.
* Introduction by Dr. Henry M. Morris.
* Sales so far have greatly exceeded expectations.
HIGHLIGHTS:
* Provides a systematic analysis of the order of fossils in rock layers, and
explains in detail how
one
Flood accounts for this order. Not another presentation of general ideas, but
solid research
supported
by thousands of fossil locations.
* Shows why the animals on the different continents are so unlike each other
even though they all
originated
at one point (the Ark at Ararat).
* Refutes, through simple calculations, the anti-Creationist claim that there
is too much coal, oil,
crinoid
remains, fossil reptile remains, etc. to be comparable with a young earth.
Shows how
limestones
and chalk deposits do the same.
* Tabulates over 200 instances of anomalous fossils in the geologic record, and
exposes common
rationalizations,
for them.
* Gives many geologic demonstrations of the invalidity of radiometric dating.
Not another
theoretical
analysis of common dating methods and their assumptions, but a practical
demonstration
of their failure in actual use.
* Shows, through simple maps and tables, how little of the earth's surface is
actually the way it is
presented
in orthodox geology textbooks.
* Demonstrates the superiority of the Flood model in explaining coal beds and
their interbedding
with
other rocks. Refutes "paleoenvironments".
