What’s Happening?

Just wanted to drop a quick note and let people know I’m still here.  I probably won’t write any new rebuttals in the coming weeks, as I’m working on two new curriculums for homeschool families.  At this time I can say that one of them is Historical Geology, which examines the history of the earth.  Currently it consists of about 55 lessons, making it suitable for a semester high school science credit.  I will announce the other curriculum at a later date.

Stratigraphy


Feb 08

Posted: under Creation Blog.
Tags: , ,

Although young earth creationists can frequently turn around scientific data to fit their needs, they cannot provide answers to simple questions when it comes to stratigraphy, which is the study of the earth’s rock layers.  The order of the earth’s rocks provide conclusive proof of an old earth, even if all the other data for an old earth is proven false.  To begin reading this five-part series, click here.

The Coconino Sandstone is a desert sandstone that is prominent in the Grand Canyon.  Young earth creationists commonly attack this sandstone, trying to prove that it was deposited underwater.  In this rebuttal, the claims of one of these attacks are examined.  Click here to read this article.

Morton’s Demon


Jan 23

Tags: ,

Many old earth creationists have wondered how young earth creationists can believe in things that are not true.  Glenn Morton has a unique insight into this issue.  A former YEC, who actually authored articles in favor of a young earth, is now a staunch old earth believer.  In this article, he explains how young earth creationists can ignore the facts of science.  Click here for more.

The Desert Problem


Jan 22

Posted: under Creation Blog, Institute for Creation Research.
Tags: , ,

Unfortunately for young earth creationism, the existence of a wind-blown desert sandstone right in the middle of supposed Noah’s Flood rock layers is an unsurmountable problem.  In this review, the evidence for a wind-blown desert sandstone is revealed, and it comes from an unusual source…the young earth creationists themselves!  Click here to read this review.

Young earth creationists claim that the world’s coal reserves can be explained by great mats of vegetation that floated the worlds oceans, and then sank during Noah’s Flood.  However, there are some major problems with their theory.  Click here to read the rebuttal to this young earth claim.

ICR is doing its end of year victory dance by claiming that soft tissue finds in 2009 prove that the earth is young.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  Click here for more.

December Update

Just a quick note to let folks know that all is well.  I have not made any posts in the last few months due to my work schedule and family commitments.  Hopefully life will calm down after the holidays.  As many of you know, I work full time as a mailman, and this time of the year is quite busy for me.

The next project I am working on is an add-on to the online geology curriculum for homeschoolers.  This one is titled Earth History.  It will explore the geologic history of the earth over a 12-week course.  Plans are also in the works for a Biblical Archaeology curriculum. 

God Bless and Merry Christmas,

Greg

Sep 02

Tags: , ,

A follow-up to the pterosaur landing track article by the Institute for Creation Science further claims that this is evidence of Noah’s Flood.  However, it shows a basic misunderstanding of the theory of uniformitarianism.  Click here for more.

Old Earth Creationism on Trial – Review Completed


Sep 01

Posted: under Answers in Genesis, Creation Blog.
Tags: , ,

The final installment of the review of the young earth book “Old Earth Creationism on Trial” has now been posted.  This final section reviews the appendixes in the book.  Many thanks to Ruben Baron for his hard work in creating this thorough review.  His review shows how shallow the arguments in the book are, and reveals the depths that some young earth creationists will sink to in order to defend their unscientific beliefs.

Pterosaur Landing Trackway


Aug 31

Posted: under Creation Blog, Dinosaurs, Institute for Creation Research.
Tags: ,

A new study shows how pterosaurs landed, and the Institute for Creation Research tries to use this to show how evolution could not account for the development of the landing technique of these animals. The explanation fails to explain why there is a landing trackway in sediments deposited by Noah’s Flood.  Click here to read the article.

New Theistic Evolution Website


Aug 19

Posted: under Creation Blog.
Tags: ,

An excellent new Theistic Evolution website has been launched by some prominent scientists.  Dr. Francis Collins is a physician and geneticist best known for spearheading the Human Genome Project.  He started the Biologos Foundation in order to address the culture war between science and religion.  With the help of a team of scientists, the new website, www.biologos.org, seeks to explain how science and the Bible are compatible, and in particular, how evolution could have been used by God as a creative tool.  A resource such as this has long been needed.  Please take the time to check it out.

The Last Dinosaur’s Tombstone


Jun 12

Posted: under Creation Blog, Dinosaurs, Institute for Creation Research.
Tags: , , ,

In a classic example of young earth deception, Brian Thomas of the Institute for Creation Research misleads his readers concerning the report of dinosaurs surviving past the end of the Cretaceous Period.  Judging from the source material that he used, he must have willfully decided to ignore the scientific data in an effort to argue for a young earth.  Apparently, it is more important to argue for a young earth than it is to be truthful in reporting the facts.  Click here to read the rebuttal.

Asteroid Dinosaur Extinction Theory Attacked


Jun 11

Posted: under Creation Blog, Institute for Creation Research.
Tags: , ,

The Institute for Creation Research is claiming that new stratigraphic data proves that an asteroid did not kill off the dinosaurs.  When you examine their claims, it is found out that while the research in question does raise doubts, it does not eliminate an asteroid from the theory.   Click here for more.
