Issue #8: Paleosols

Within the FG flood interval, we find many well-developed soils. Many show well developed root systems. Others show well developed caliche zones that tell us the climate was semiarid and stable for a period of time.

Issue 7. Finding the Flood

Columns from many YEC authors with radically different interpretations of the flood interval. If this truly was a single global catastrophe, why can’t the believers agree on where it is? I showed that their models tell us the rates of deposition that they demand and thus demand radically catastrophic processes, that are not observed.

Issue #6: Stromatolites

Stromatolites are deposits, usually from tides that repeatedly covered and uncovered algal mats that trapped sediment. Some showed classic birdseye structures that result from exposure and drying of the mats for some periods of times. Stromatolites are found in essentially every age of rock that is interpreted as flood deposits.

Issue 5. Dinosaur tracks and coal

I show an example from Utah documenting many features inconsistent with a flood model. Thick coal bed with storm deposited siltstone with dinosaur tracks from a swamp with tree roots from many trees preserved in place; dinosaur tracks walking over units covered by mud cracks, etc.

Issue #4: Fossil Record

I show how rocks show consistent changes in the fossils found, such that recent life is never represented in the older rocks and almost all of the oldest forms disappeared from the later rocks. The consistency of the record on all of the continents shows that this was not the result of migration of forms or hydrodynamic differences in species.

Issue #3 Radiometric dating

Issue #3 Radiometric dating

Large numbers of measurements have been made from around the world consistently point to the dated rocks being much older than the YEC time frame allows. These are not flukes. They are the rule not the exception. – No easy errors are found in either the theory or methodology exist that invalidate this methodology. Large well-funded efforts have tried.

Genesis by Stephen Mitchell

Wondering through a bookstore some years back, I ran across a book that interested me, especially because I had apparently written it.  You would think that I would have known!  As the image shows, it is a translation of Genesis by Stephen Mitchell.  I had to buy it,...
