Mission Statement

My aim is to provide an online resource for Earth science education, particularly for the community of faith. More people than ever are leaving the church due to perceived conflicts between science and faith, yet creation-science ministries continue to claim that geological evidence supports a young Earth (less than 10,000 years). I examine those claims critically and provide a disciplinary context in which to evaluate the merits of young-Earth creationism.
