Paleontology

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: Dr. Joel Brown, Doug Sharp, Rich Geer Description: Dr. Joel Brown is the director of the Creation Research Society’s Van Andel Creation Research Center, located on the campus of Arizona Christian University in Glendale Arizona. Since June of 2024, they have been experimenting with DNA Sequencing equipment provided by a donation from Revolution Against Evolution, with the ultimate goal of sequencing ancient DNA from fossil dinosaur bones. Since 1999, ongoing research h

Guests: Doug Sharp and Rich Geer Description: Rich and Doug discussed the differences between dinosaur mummies and fossilized remains, focusing on a recently discovered Hadrosaur (Dakota) that retains organic material and soft tissue. They explored how fossilization processes create casts rather than true mummies. Doug and Rich discussed a new scientific discovery of mummified dinosaur fossils, specifically a Lambiosaurus, found in the Wyoming Badlands near the Hell Creek For

A RAE Adventure takes us to the dinosaur and human trackways found on the Navajo Indian Reservation near Tuba City, Arizona. Recent tracks uncovered by a flood in the area this year show a set of human tracks next to dinosaur tracks. The human tracks show the toes. A Navajo woman also showed us dinosaur bones, and possible soft tissue mummified carcasses. The existence of dinosaur and human tracks together challenges the notion of evolution and the idea that dinosaurs lived m

‘Evolutionists have gotten a lot of mileage out of fossil cave men and apemen discoveries, using them as evidence that man is a product of evolution. As creationists, we must address this challenge, and provide answers that are satisfying.’ Derek and Rich examine the third chapter of the book Revolution Against Evolution by Doug Sharp.

‘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.

Dr. Marcus Ross taught paleontology at Liberty University and he is a dinosaur enthusiast as is Rich Geer. His field of expertise is marine reptiles, and he discusses the differences between the mosasaurus and tylosaurus. There were many different kinds of aquatic dinosaurs, and they were often of great size. The mosasaur was one of the largest, and speculation as to what the Biblical leviathan was still remains a mystery, though one of these could be it.

Rich Geer brings out his collection of model dinosaurs and explains to everyone why a Biblical model of creation needs to talk about dinosaurs and give reasons for their existence. The young earth model provides an environment where dinosaurs grew to great size and strength and a reason for their extinction during the world wide flood of Noah. If death and dying existed before the fall of man, it would preclude the need for Christ to come and redeem us from the curse by dying

Tom DeRosa is the founder of the Creation Discovery Museum in South Florida. Located in Deerfield Beach, near Fort Lauderdale, this museum features three major themes: Catastrophic Flood of Noah, the Ice Age and Dinosaurs. Many of the museum’s primary fossils come from the vast phosphate beds near Peace River near Arcata. Surprisingly for Florida, these creature are mostly assigned to the Ice Age. The museum is associated with Creation Studies Institute, Coral Ridge Presbyter

Harold Johnson brings the dinosaur fossils he found while working as a search and rescue deputy sheriff in Grand Junction, Colorado. Fossilized dinosaur dung is called coprolite, and his chunk is quite large. He also has dinosaur skin and a fossil tooth. The explanation for dinosaurs from a biblical perspective is discussed.

Claims of fossil finds with feather imprints on dinosaurs have been investigated by several scientists whose detailed studies concluded that the fibers found were that of collagen. Other scientists dispute this, including some creationists who point out that even if dinosaurs with feathers are found, that is not conclusive evidences that birds evolved from reptiles. They just would be another created baramin or kind.

Northern Michigan provides an excellent picture of the type of landforms that were caused by a period of glaciation that occurred a short time after Noah’s flood. Creation scientists have modeled the weather pattern that would have produced the glaciers. Mammoths and mastodons were warm-weather creatures that lived in the areas near the warm oceans, but a weather pattern produced the climate that piled tons of snow on the interior lands, producing the glaciers. That is why qu

Forensics is the branch of science that uses evidence found in the present to speculate upon what might have happened in the past. Like the investigation of a crime scene, the further in time back the occurrence took place, the less evidence of the event is likely to remain. Evolution is a speculation of what happened millions of years ago based upon fossils found in the present. Jerry Bergman starts his evaluation of fossils based upon two complex features commonly found: te

A reference in the book Revolution Against Evolution concerning the finding of Neanderthal buried alongside chain maille armor and spear points was challenged by evolutionists about 20 years ago. Doug Sharp revisits the story of tracing the citation back to its original reference and the implications of the story.

Evolutionists do not use the Carbon-14 dating method on dinosaur fossils because they believe that dinosaurs are too old to contain Carbon-14. Creation scientists Brian Thomas and Vance Nelson dated sixteen samples of fossils that are supposed to be millions of years old to see if they contain Carbon-14. All sixteen samples showed signficant quantities of C-14.

Is it possible for intact peptides, DNA, collagen and osteocytes to be preserved for 68 million years? The iDINO project investigates the fragile nature of biological material and eliminates the possibility that these materials could be preserved for deep time. The discovery of these materials in dinosaur bone indicates that these creatures could not have died out millions of years ago. Dinosaurs are young!

The summer issue of the Creation Research Society Quarterly is dedicated to the iDINO project, the effort to investigate the evidence for recent existence of dinosaurs based upon the finding of soft tissue in unfossilized dinosaur bone.
