Mr. Creationist Goes to Court
A courtroom drama inspired by true-life encounters with irrational skepticism.

If only one could demonstrate exhaustively that Flood Geology never was a valid option, whether biblically or scientifically, then perhaps we could recover the Bible’s literary artistry, which long fell victim to a cookie-cutter hermeneutic. Perhaps we could recover geology as a tool for exploring this Earth, and the Grand Canyon as a testament to its great antiquity. Needless to say, that is precisely what this book accomplishes and why it couldn’t come at a better time.

Young life creationists, or baraminologists as they prefer to be called, have experienced a paradigm shift over the past three decades. Initially, creationists made a…

By whose authority? For all our lives, we have been trained to appeal to authority, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. We learned to trust our teachers and parents, […]
If we want to test the timeline proposed by Young-Earth Creationists (YEC’s), we need not look far back in geological time. Given that the accepted and documented age of the Earth is […]
About two years ago, my wife and I switched to a memory-foam mattress, and we couldn’t be happier. Everything claimed by the late-night advertisements is true. The mattress subtly conforms to […]
How is it that certain sedimentary rock layers can be traced for hundreds to thousands of miles across large continents, unless these land masses were once covered by a global flood? Perhaps you never […]
Last Monday, I briefly discussed the origins of oceanic crust and why it contradicts the young-Earth paradigm. Prior to that, I summarized how multiple ice ages have been recorded in Siberian speleothems, […]
From confirmed hypothesis to logical fallacy? I began last post with an overview of Milankovitch Theory and its application in sediment cores, because the most recent issue of the Answers Research Journal has […]
I still remember as though it were yesterday…Like a camp of rogue militants being tracked, the secluded site was interrupted suddenly by an unidentified chopper closing in. Everyone scrambled as the […]

On the absence of Genesis Recently, I realized that I could not think of a single instance over the past 10 years in which Genesis was used as the primary […]
The Guadalupe Mountains of New Mexico and Texas are home to more than 300 caves, including those of Carlsbad Caverns National Park. If you are not familiar with the geology […]
In the last of a six-part compilation of geological evidences for the Flood, Dr. Andrew Snelling argued that the absence of brittle fractures in folded strata constituted reason to believe […]
At the beginning of the year, I reviewed an article that cited anomalously old radiometric dates for historical lava flows to argue against the validity of the Potassium-Argon (K-Ar) dating […]
While a number of Answers in Genesis (AiG) articles related to radiometric dating have focused on discordant ages obtained from igneous suites (such as K/Ar dates obtained from volcanic flows, […]
Several years ago, we had a paleontologist speak at our department seminar on the topic of Young-Earth Creationism (YEC) and the Grand Canyon. The speaker, who was affiliated with the National […]
Corals are among the most valuable indicators of past climate conditions, due to their sensitivity to water depth, temperature, and acidity. We can infer from the age and depth of […]
