This blog will discuss how we see Jesus in History.
Bent Rock Layers and Deep Time
Sedimentary rocks are often “bent” (folded). If they were hard rocks at the time of the folding, then that folding must have happened over millions of years. If they were soft sediments at the time of deformation, then it could have happened more quickly. Which do the rocks tell us occurred?
‘I have been working on the Railroad’ Dike and thinking about Deep Time
A long linear igneous dike holds up Railroad Mountain located between Roswell and Elida, New Mexico. How and when did it form? What happened afterward? The rocks tell us a story that could not have happened in a few thousand years. It occurred over Deep Time.PDF File...

If some radioactive elements decay rapidly, then why would we find them in ancient rocks? PDF file available hereAre there “incontrovertible” reasons to affirm a young Earth? What does it mean to be incontrovertible? Some Young Earth Creationists (YEC) seem to...
Ocean sediments and Deep Time
Is there really not enough mud on the ocean floor? PDF file available hereAre there “incontrovertible” reasons to affirm a young Earth? What does it mean to be incontrovertible? Some YEC seem to believe that this means that it is claimed by any YEC author that they...

Oil Gushers over Deep Time
Figure 1. When a well is drilled into a hydrocarbon reservoir, the pressured reservoirs will release by carrying oil and gas to the surface. This is analogous to the dissolved carbon dioxide that is released when a shaken soda can is opened. Modern oil and gas wells...
Generating Oil over Deep Time – Part 2
Understanding how oil is formed and migrated is really important in oil exploration. Organic material in source rock is heated deep in the earth by radioactive heat sources deep in the Earth. PDF file available hereAre there “incontrovertible” reasons to affirm...
