Geology

Guests: Doug Sharp and Rich Geer Description: This is a historic argument by Creationists used by Henry M. Morris in The Genesis Flood. Walter Lammerts in the 1960’s documented a long list of out of order strata that didn’t fit the traditional geologic column proposed by evolutionists. In 2001, we set out to explore the scope of the strata mix-up in Glacier National Park. First identified by Willis in 1901, the rock strata on top are identified as Precambrian, but the layer u

Guests: Dan Biddle, Doug Sharp, Rich Geer Description: Dan Biddle directs the Genesis Apologetics ministry at genesisapologetics.org . His topic is the evidence for Noah’s flood. He gives an overview of the flood, dating it at 2348 BC, 2518 BC or 3168 BC based upon theories about the timeline given in the text of the Bible. You can trace the genealogy from Adam to Christ 10 generations to Noah, 10 generations from Noah to Abraham, 14 generations from Abraham to David and 30

Guests: Bruce Malone Bruce Malone is speaking at the West Michigan Creation Fellowship, which meets every third Tuesday at the Forest Hills Bible Chapel in Ada, Michigan. His topic is “How to Fold a Rock”, showing that the folded sediments found the the geologic record must have formed quickly and any sediments that are folded must have occurred while the sediments were pliable mud. He explains the history of how long periods of times, millions of years, became embedded in th

The Creation Summit on-line conference was held Feb. 21-22. Doug Sharp’s presentation was about his book Don’t Let Your Geology Mess Up Your Theology. This book gives the historical reasons why the Biblical flood model was abandoned as the explanation for the geological sequence of fossils, and why it was replaced with long ages of millions of years. There is an abundance of scientific evidence now revealed that refutes this idea. Out of place fossils and artifacts, missing o

Monument Valley consists of sandstone buttes that are 1,000 feet tall, and show erosion of a huge valley that covers a vast area, including the Valley of the Gods across from the San Juan River. The level of this erosion is well explained by runoff from the flood of Noah.

The geology of Nevada poses a number of insurmountable problems for evolution. The Biblical account of Noah’s Flood explains a lot of what we see if we know what to look for. West of Las Vegas, Nevada, the Red Rock Canyon Conservation Area is a park where the geology is upside down. The rocks are out of order, Cambrian, Jurassic, Triassic and Permian, with the old Cambrian layer on top of the younger Jurassic. 75 miles away, in Valley of Fire State Park to the northeast of La

The Bible is God’s Word. We can believe that, or we can rely on the words of men who weren’t there and are unable to observe what happened in real time and believe something else. If the Bible is true, it then brings to life ancient history. The gospels of Matthew and Luke record the genealogy from Adam to Jesus Christ, naming all of the generations of individuals. These records match the names listed in the book of Genesis, so that means that the disciples of Jesus took Gene

Ancient pagan cultures and accompanying myths had their origins based upon long eons of time. The writers of the books of the Bible, though they were aware of these myths, chose to record the history of the world in this young world timeframe. The majority of church fathers, such as Basil the Great (329-379 AD), Origen (182-251 AD) and Augustine (354-430 AD) believed the days of creation to be 6 24-hour days and that the world was less than 10,000 years old. About 300 years

If you stand on the rim of the Grand Canyon watching the sunset or gaze through the mist over the Na Pali coast on the island of Kauai, you would be quite a cynic to refuse to give glory to God. Even if you realize that these geological feature are remnants of the great flood, the fact is that there is a tremendous measure of beauty in the artistry of colors. Beauty is not a quality that is measurable scientifically. It is something that is self-evident to the eye of the beho

Two quick hits in the news: new sub viral snippets of code in the human digestive tract called “obelisks” that have specific jobs, and speculations about the inner ear of a fossil ape helping it to walk upright. Then a discussion of chapter 2 of Don’t Let Your Geology Mess Up Your Theology: Creation Geology Explained. This is an outline of the interpretation of of geologic formations from a Biblical Flood model. It starts with the creation of the earth and its landforms on th

Doug Sharp’s book Don’t Let Your Geology Mess Up Your Theology reveals that there is a geology story in the Bible that is quite specific.It makes statements that causes you to make a choice. Either you believe it to be true or believe that it is false. A third choice is to read into it a different intrepretation other than its straightforward meaning. For example, the very first verse, “In the beginning God created the heaven and earth” refutes atheism, materialism, Deism, un

I find it amazing that many people decide to reject the Bible and God, especially since we now have many creationist organizations that expose the bankruptcy of the Darwinian worldview and that the message of creation is readily available for anyone who wants to seek it. But for most people, even those who go to church, seeking a relationship with God is often the last thing on their mind. It’s not about the evidence for God, it’s the lack of desire to know Him. Emotional rea

The deltas of the world’s major rivers do not contain enough sediment for millions of years of erosion. If you look at the major watersheds of North America, the deltas of the Mississippi, St. Lawrence, Colorado, and Columbia River watersheds show very little sediment. Except for the bird’s foot delta of the Mississippi, all of them are estuaries where the flow of the river exits into a wide basin. The rate of sediment flowing in the Mississippi River is an average 436,000 to

You wouldn’t believe what an unbeliever has to believe in order to be an unbeliever. Origin of life experiments require a primitive atmosphere without oxygen in order for amino acids, nucleotides, and proteins to evolve. The biochemical building blocks of life could not form when exposed to oxygen. But they must assume that photosynthetic bacteria evolved and produced an oxygen supply to support life. This creates a dilemma: Oxidation is an enemy of the formation of the build

The dinner cruise we took on Kauai along the Na Pali coast revealed to me a little bit about the geomorphology of Kauai, and it flies in the face of the evolutionary explanation that the islands popped up in sequence over millions of years and eroded to current size. The cruise starts in Port Allen on the southern coast of Kauai, and travels along the arid rain shadow of the northern coastal mountains. The southern edge of Kauai is rather flat. There is a massive sandy beach

Two hundred years of uniformitarian geology is being overwhelmed by evidence of mass upheaval found in the rock record that point to a worldwide flood.These include Overthrusts visible in klippes and windows Paraconformities Parallel Strata with smooth contact lines Seismites Piping Crossbedding Vast areas of strata sliced off Michigan’s Onion Bedrock Geology Coal seams buried thousands of fee Oil 12,000 feet deep Strata on continents, not ocean basin Meager river deltas Moun

There is a Creationist explanation for the origin of the Hawaiian Islands. A major component of creation theory is that during Noah’s flood, there was a catastrophic movement of the continental plates, and that a hot spot originated near the Aleutian Islands and rapidly created seamount volcanos that traveled down a fissure toward Hawaii, then formed the Midway Island seamounts, and slowed down to form the Hawaiian Islands. The current eruptions on the Big Island of Hawaii re

The geology of Bryce Canyon can only superficially be explained by an evolutionary scenario. But their explanations include orogeny, uplift, erosion, and massive deposition with strata tilted over the area of several states. When you look at Bryce Canyon, it is near the top of the Grand Staircase, but the rocks are supposed to be Cretaceous. Evolutionists admit that the spires and hoodoos are young geologically, and because the rocks are sedimentary, they cannot be dated with

A RAE Adventure took us to visit Zion National Park as part of a tour of the Grand Staircase and the Colorado Plateau. The most prominent feature in the White Cliffs at Zion was 7,000 feet of crossbedded sandstone layers. Evolutionists claim that this is the result of millions of years of buildup of desert sand dunes, but Creationists maintain, with experimental evidence, that these crossbedded layers are features of successive waves of the Great Flood of Noah and that it is

‘Evolutionists look to historical geology for proof that evolution took place. Historical geology involves the study of fossils (paleontology) and the rock formations found on and in the earth (stratigraphy).’ Derek and Sue examine the second chapter of the book Revolution Against Evolution by Doug Sharp.
