Geology and a Young Earth

The amount of salt and sludge that empties from earth's rivers into the sea is too small an amount if the earth were 4.5 billion years.

 Stalactites and Stalagmites could not be formed over millions of years.  That would mean water with lime etc. would have to flow precisely in the same spot for thousands of years!  These forms are made by catastrophes not "gradualism' (the dogma of geology.)  A major catastrophes would be Noah's flood (which I will go into at another time), rapid melting of the ice age ( young earth scientists believe there was one ice age which only existed 200-700 years).  At any rate these cave formations do not argue for a 4.5 billion year old earth.

  Mt. Saint Helens, a moderate volcano, erupted in the 1980's creating canyons which would have taken millions of years by  gradual erosion.  Newly formed lava has been dated by the clocking methods to be millions of years old instead of a month old.

DATING METHODS ARE PROGRAMED BY THE DOGMA OF GRADUALISM

Various elements and compounds will lose their electrons or change (decay) over time.  If the dogma that what appears today has always been and catastrophes are not taken into account, then faulty conclusions will be arrived at.

A team of scientists taking the various means of dating instruments found that there were millions of years of variation by the "clocks" that are used.  Again, most of this can be due to the 150 year old dogma of "gradualism."

DIAMONDS ARE A YOUNG EARTHERS BEST FRIEND

 

Recently, scientists have been able to blow open diamonds!  What did they find?  Carbon 14!  Carbon 14 decays after 5000 years! The samples taken were judged to be about 2,000 to 4,000 years old, not millions of years!  In other words the existence of diamonds formed by pressure on coal doesn't necessarily take millions of years.

I'VE JUST GOT STARTED!   I want to cover strata, the Grand Canyon, and dinosaurs next, and yes Noah's flood.  I use to believe that the earth was millions of years old.  One Christian has stated that even a universe of 13.7 billion years does not give enough time for all we see today.  Well, its all a miracle.  I just believe it is even more supernatural if we take some of these observances and show they match a miraculous six day (24 hours) creation!

I'd love to hear from you, and if you disagree, I won't burn you at the stake.
