A Holocene Cold Snap In The Year 2,200 B.C. (Before Creation)
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 […]

Monday Minute: Triple Junctions and the Age of the Earth
In the wake of World War II, American warships were increasingly being cast into new, scientific roles for the sake of physical oceanography. By the late 1950’s, the hastened efforts to develop effective sonar […]
Can we trace rock layers across continents only because of Noah’s Flood?
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 […]
Monday Minute: Oceanic Crust? Not in a Young Earth!
What geologists have learned about the ocean floor over the past 70 years completely shifted our paradigms several times. First, decommissioned submarines discovered that the seafloor was not flat, but is covered in mountains, […]
Since the Dinosaurs Fell: Era of “New Life”
We all know the tale of the dinosaurs’ demise: some 65 million years ago, a large asteroid impacted the Earth near the modern Yucatan peninsula. The cataclysmic event resulted in […]
Drawing circles that don’t connect: Jake Hebert of AiG critiques ‘orbital tuning’
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 […]
Seafloor sediments, ice cores, and Milankovitch theory: paleoclimate in harmony
Eccentricity, obliquity, and precession: the longest seasons on Earth At least since the days of Isaac Newton and Johannes Kepler, astronomers have recognized that the Earth does not orbit the sun […]
The SPICE Event: global disruption in the Late Cambrian carbon cycle
In the last post, we explored how geologists use chemostratigraphy to correlate sedimentary layers, especially limestone, from one part of the world to another. Now, I would like to provide […]
Chemostratigraphy: silent objector to ‘Flood Geology’
It all began with breakfast in the park.Years ago, when I was in the middle of writing my master’s thesis, I took my then future wife on a trip to […]
"Best evidences for a young Earth": Snelling and our salty seas, Part 3
(continued from Part 2) In case you are now exhausted by the topic of salt in the oceans, I want to reassure you: this is the light at the end […]
