Gypsum deposits in New Mexico and West Texas
Gypsum and anhydrite have been deposited in New Mexico and Texas as thick banded beds. How did they get there? They did not form in Noah’s flood. Gypsum lakes forming today show how the ancient deposits were formed.
What happened geologically between Noah’s flood and Abraham?
What do rocks that were formed before and after Abraham tell us about Noah’s flood?
A Baker’s Dozen Indicators from the Bible for an Old Earth
13 indications showing that scripture does not conflict with scientific data that show the Earth is billions of years old
Issue #2: Deformation – folding and faulting of hard rocks
When sediment has been hardened to solid rock and then that rock folded, it shows the passage of deep time.
A Baker’s Dozen Scientific Issues Pointing to an Old Earth
Thirteen scientific examples from nature that contradict Young Earth Creationism (YEC) and Flood Geology (FG)
Issue #13: Diagenesis and changes in Rock over Time
Limes and sands have changed to rocks over the course of more time than the YEC models allow.
Issue #12: The size of the Universe… distant stars
The universe is large and the speed of light is known and we quickly come to transit times that don’t fit the YEC timeline.
Issue #11: Tectonic Rates
The Earth’s tectonic plates have moved very slowly as our modern oceanic crust developed.
Issue #10: Igneous Intrusions
We find large intrusive igneous bodies at the surface. It takes a long time for large buried igneous magma to cool. We find clasts of granite cooled and eroded out by the mid-Cretaceous period. This could not have happened during a 1-year flood
Issue #9: Volcanos
We find volcanos that developed through the geologic record at multiple times in non-marine settings, not the result of one catastrophic year.
