Geology and Creation Science

Stratigraphy (Arguments based on the earth's rock layers)

Desert Sandstones during Noah's Flood

• The Desert Problem – All it takes is one wind-deposited desert in the geologic record to disprove the young earth creationism model

• Coconino Sandstone – This rock formation in the Grand Canyon area is said to have been formed by the Flood of Noah.  Is this young earth theory correct?

• The Navajo Sandstone - Another young earth flood theory with insurmountable problems

Varves

• The Truth about Varves - YEC arguments against varves do not stand up to scrutiny

• Green River Formation and the Flood - A weak attempt to tie this varve formation to the global flood model

• Clarkia Fossil Beds Claims - YEC distortions of the evidence to support their cause

Could a Global Flood Have Produced the Rock Layers? 

• Stratigraphy - Or, can the Global Flood of Noah produce all the rock layers we see in the Grand Canyon?

• Creationist Stratigraphy – Is such a thing feasible?

• Grand Canyon: Monument to Catastrophe – Book Review

• Young-Earth Creationism and the Geology of the Grand Canyon –  by Jonathan Woolf

• Calibrating the Flood? - Complaints about sea level transgression in the Grand Canyon.  Article currently under review to ensure fairness to the young earth author that it criticizes.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

Coal Layers 

• The Floating Forest Theory Sinks - Young earth creation science theory about the formation of coal seams is totally inadequate

Chalk Layers 

• Chalk from Noah’s Flood? – Young earth creation science experts claim that all chalk layers were produced during the Flood.  However, can the Flood even produce chalk?

Polystrate Trees

• Polystrate Fossils - Are they proof of a young earth?

• Joggins Fossil Cliffs – Are fossil trees proof of Noah’s Flood

• Yellowstone Petrified Forests – Rebuttal of the Petrified forest theory

Geologic Processes

Catastrophism

• Catastrophism, or Uniformitarianism? - What's the difference?  Not as much as you think!

• Eroding Continents – Is it true that if the earth is old, we should have no continents due to erosion?

Volcanoes

• Mount Saint Helens - Does not support a young earth

• Giant's Causeway - Volcanic Evidence of Noah's Flood?

• Mount Saint Helens - Another claim from another young earth ministry

Structural Geology

• Thrust Faults - YEC arguments against thrust faults are faulty

• Plastic Deformation of Rocks - The science behind folded rock layers

Rock Formation

• Ken Ham's Misconceptions about Opals - The full truth about Opals

• Bottled Lies – Can a rock-encrusted bottle prove the earth is young?

• Choking – Clogged Pipes – a new young-earth dating technique?

Erosion

• Canyon Deception – Can a modern canyon that formed in six days be correlated to the Grand Canyon?

• Missing Rivers? – Are the source rivers for Grand Canyon erosion missing?

Earth's Magnetic Field

• Earth's Magnetic Field - Young earth argument does not prove a young earth

• Is the Earth's Magnetic Field Young? - A rebuttal by an actual paleomagnetist!

Caves

• Limestone Caves – Can the Limestone cave sediments be deposited during the flood, and the caves form in a short time frame?

• Sulfuric Acid Caves – Can you form limestone caves quickly with sulfuric acid?

The Earth Looks Young

• Grand Tetons - Are they evidence of a young earth?

• Islands – Are young volcanic islands proof that geologists are wrong about the age of the earth?

• Kettle River Gorge Nonsense - Blatant deception about geologic erosion

Miscellaneous Claims

• Mountain – Does a burning Australian mountain prove a young earth?

• Mudspring Surprise? – How much mud can young earth creationists sling today?

• The Permian Extinction - Is it evidence for Noah's Flood?

• Polonium Halos - Bad science to promote a young earth

• Woodmorappe Misquotations - More Classic Misquotations in Woodmorappe (1999)

• The Hydroplate Theory - A review of this young earth theory

• Redwood Hoax? –  Redwood Trees provide no evidence for Noah’s Flood
