Geology

Linda Rusiecki and her friend hikes to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and shares their photographs. At the bottom of the Grand Canyon are rock strata that appear to be vertical rather than horizontal. Many creation scientists believe that these rocks, the Vishnu Schist, are creation week rocks. They are vertical because they are metamorphic rocks with vertical faults. Doug and Rich explain evolutionary and creationist models for the formation of the Grand Canyon.

Evolutionists use radiometric dating methods to justify their claims of deep time. But are the results accurate? Charlie Wolcott explains the assumptions of radiometric dating and analyzes the exponential decay function which is the primary equation that is used to derive the age of the earth and the rock layers in the geologic column. The assumptions with the decay equation are: 1. Known initial amount of parent isotope 2. Known initial amount of daughter isotope 3. Constant

We have made quite a number of trips to the Grand Canyon since the first one in 1999, but there are always new things to learn. There are two competing creationist models for the formation of the Grand Canyon, but they are quite similar. Dr. Stephen Austin proposed a breached dam that came from post flood lakes behind the canyon in the Navajo land. Michael Oard believes that sheet runoff after the flood caused a channel to be carved through the mountain. At the great unconfor

Carved in Stone is Timothy Clarey’s March 2020 book release, and it is a massive, beautiful work outlining his case for Catastrophic Plate Tectonics, also known as CPT. Catastrophic Plate Tectonics is one of several creationist flood models that we describe in our updated book Revolution Against Evolution, and in our recently released version, we discuss CPT along with the hydroplate model, vertical tectonics, meteorite bombardment, the water vapor canopy theory, and the curi

The Ice Age is postulated to have occurred shortly after Noah’s flood, caused by weather patterns set up from warm oceans after the flood piling up snow in the interiors of the continents but causing temperate climates at the edges of the continents. Climate changes occurring while the earth was drying out accounts for features of geomorphology like drumlins, kames, eskers, moraines to be left behind by glaciation.

About 75% of the geologic column (according to evolution) is Precambrian, the layers of rock devoid of fossils. Then, at the Cambrian, fully formed creatures appear in the fossil record. This baffles evolutionists and the problem of explaining the layers of rock, many of which are not in the order in which evolutionists expect, has the burden of proof placed in those who believe in deep time.

Michael Oard is one of the most prolific geology writers within the Creation movement. His book The Deep Time Deception is an excellent overview of the biblical perspective on geology and explains how geological evidence derived from the evolutionist’s own research fits the young earth model better than the concept of deep time: millions of years.

Michigan’s Geology tells a story of how sediment was laid down during the flood of Noah in a circular pattern in a basin. It was sheared off with flood runoff and then glaciated. The idea of uniformitarianism was used by Charles Lyell to estimate the age of the Niagara Falls by extrapolating the rate of erosion found in the present to come up with a time scale. This time scale is disproven by historical records, yet it is used as a foundation for evolutionary age estimates.

Guy Forsythe of Crying Rocks conducts a tour on a trail to Lizard Head in Sedona where some unusual parabolic folds and siesmites provide evidence for these features being formed by water action.

Many ideas have been proposed for the formation of the Grand Canyon, but the physical impossibility of water flowing uphill causes us to question the idea that the Colorado River cut the canyon over millions of years. If you leave the Grand Canyon South Rim toward Cameron, you descend in elevation thousands of feet. A catastrophic flood is a better explanation.

Creationists have about five different theories that model what might have occurred during Noah’s flood, and many of them involve the expansion of the continents and creation of the basalt sea floor as the result. We explore the world of volcanoes and the evidence of science and creation.

Native Americans have stories of a great flood that are very similar to the Biblical account of Noah’s flood. The flood stories of the Pima and Apache Indians were displayed in a museum near the Superstition Mountains.

The geology of Petrified Forest, Canyon De Chelley, Monument Valley, the San Juan River, Valley of the Gods and Cedar Mesa are all a testimony of the sedimentation and erosion power of the great flood of Noah.

The book Rock Solid Answers contains common questions raised by evolutionists about the biblical flood. Three of these are addressed in the first few chapters of this book. Did the flood waters rise above Mt. Everest? Would the flood had released poisonous amounts of mercury in the flood waters? Doesn’t caves take a long time to form?
