Geology

Hosts: Doug Sharp and Rich Geer The polystrate fossil trees at Joggins, Nova Scotia are upright, in‑place fossilized trunks—mostly lycopsids like Sigillaria and Lepidodendron—that extend vertically through multiple sedimentary layers in the Carboniferous Joggins Formation. They are one of the most famous and scientifically important examples of “standing fossil forests” anywhere on Earth, preserved along the Bay of Fundy’s rapidly eroding cliffs. Polystrate fossils are organi

Guest: Steve Hubbard This part of the Global Flood Summit is divided into two parts investigating Dr Walt Brown’s Hydroplate Theory. The first discusses several of the accurate predictions that Dr Brown made based on the theory and the second investigates the Biblical support for the theory. Due to time constraints we can only take a rather brief look at both of these subjects but I believe that if these two subjects are both taken into account they lend a high level of credi

Curtis Hammitt analyzes the standard geology plate tectonics theory and the creationist Catastrophic Plate Tectonics version as opposed to the Hydroplate model. The biggest objection to both models is the intense amount of heat the movement of the plates would generate, causing rocks to liquify and subduct into the mantle. Proponents of the Catastrophic Plate Tectonics model would need to appeal to a miracle by God to dissipate the heat generated by rapid movement of the cont

Host: Doug Sharp In his book "Don't Let Your Geology Mess Up Your Theology", Doug Sharp describes the history of the transformation of the academic world from a Biblical worldview of geology involving the Flood of Noah to the gradual adoption of a secular worldview where the sediments accumulated for millions of years. Doug challenges this secular model by showing evidence from geology that doesn't fit the expected evolutionary geologic column. Secular scientists document thi

Speaker: Brian Lauer As part of the Creation Summit Geology Conference, Brian Lauer presents the Hydroplate model. The Hydroplate model is a creationist explanation for how the geology resulting from Noah's flood formed the rock layers and geological formations on the earth. It poses answers to scientific problems: Origin of the Grand Canyon Nerves in Dinosaur Bones Fusing past iron Plateau formation Cubanit in comets Frozen standing mammoth Peanut-shaped asteroids Rounded bo

Guest: Bodie Hodge of Biblical Authority Ministries In this presentation, Bodie Hodge lays out the evidence supporting the historic flood of Noah. The flood is described in Genesis 6-8 and from the Biblical text, it was a global event. We find rock layers with fossils, and they are marine bottom to top. He explains current continental schemes, models of the Ark, pre-flood climate models, ice age models, and models how the flood might have worked.

Hosts: Doug Sharp and Rich Geer In April 2024, scientists observed the sea floor split wide open. Earlier that year, in February, marine geophysicist Jean-Yves Royer of the French National Center of Scientific Research deployed the Observatory with Hydro-Acoustics and Geodesy near Amsterdam Island on the Southeast Indian Ridge between Australia and Antarctica. This is part of the French Southern and Antarctic Lands and includes the Kerguelen Islands, MacDonald and Heard Islan

Hosts: Doug Sharp and Rich Geer Does the creation model explain the ice age? Meteorologist Michael Oard says yes, emphatically so! In fact, this is an area where the creation model really shines. A combination of warm oceans and barren cold continents provides the engine needed to produce mountainous continental ice sheets. Such a mechanism is impossible today under uniformitarian conditions. Quick frozen mammoths indicate a rapid climate change.

Host: Rich Geer Guest: Allen Roy Allen Roy of "Another Viewpoint" Canyon Tours describes a synthesis of creation models that accounts for the erosion and creation of landforms during Noah's Flood. This interview took place at Red Rock Canyon in Waterton Park, Alberta in 2002. At that time, flood models were still in the development stage. Walt Brown proposed his Hydroplate model, Dr. John Baumgardner proposed Catastrophic Plate Tectonics and Michael Oard proposed vertical tec

Guest: Dr. John Baumgardner Hosts: Doug Sharp and Rich Geer Dr. John Baumgardner explains his Catastrophic Plate Tectonics model of the Flood of Noah to Doug Sharp and Rich Geer at Bandelier National Monument. The catastrophic plate tectonics (CPT) model is a young-Earth creationist attempt to explain much of Earth’s geology, especially the continents, ocean basins, mountains, and fossils, within the framework of Noah’s Flood. The model proposes that before the Flood, Earth’

Guests: Brian Lauer, Doug Sharp, Rich Geer, Derek Marshall Brian Lauer presents the scientific evidence supporting the Hydroplate Theory and explains it. Dr. Walt Brown developed this theory in the 1990's, and in his book "In the Beginning" he makes predictions based upon his theory that proved to be true when new discoveries were made. Researchers use phrases such as "unexpected", "fossil oddity", "longest standing puzzle", "unanswered questions" when encountering these disc

Discussion of the Hydroplate Theory

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

Charles Bultman explains the scientific evidence that persuaded him that the young earth creation model makes more sense than evolution. The Bible talks about the origin of death, a global flood, and Jesus’ involvement in creation. The five reasons he believes in creation are: 1. Ages of Coal Layers 2. Soft Tissue in Fossils 3. Nano Machines in Cells 4. Origin of Life Chemistry 5. Fine Tuning of Almost Everything

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

The geology of much of the southern Arizona landscape around Phoenix and Tucson reminds you of a flat ocean of sand with icebergs of mountains poking their 1/7 of their mass into the air with the flatlands below. It is worth looking at the geologic maps of the area and trying to interpret what you see through Biblical glasses. Since we cannot reverse time and conduct experiments to simulate what happened, we must look at the geologic evidence we find in the present and from t

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.
