Geology

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?
