The Mayans were wrong
The Mayan’s were wrong, but in the end, global warming will still get us all! That is right. Evidently, after forecasting a calendar that far outlived the civilization that created it, the world has once again survived the latest Chicken Little catastrophe to befall mankind. My guess is that the Mayans simply ran out of ink.
Geological Column and Inherent Problems
The Geological Column is a popular timetable used to mark different strata by the use of fossils. Geologists have found that classifying rocks by comparison of fossils in all parts of the world is a very valuable tool. Part of the historical geological record is made using index fossils spanning 570 millions years.
The Creation of the Continents
Most geologists believe that all the continents presently situated around the world were once linked forming one super-continent called Pangaea. From the evolutionary perspective those who study Plate Tectonics theorize that this super-continent broke up at the end of the Mesozoic era that evolutionary theory say began 250 million years ago.
Rocks and Creation
Genesis explains the formation of the earth’s crust more plausibly than evolution. How the earth (and other planets) began is still an open question in evolutionary circles. Evolutionists agree that the earth was formed about 4.6 billion years ago, starting from a very hot gaseous state and eventually cooling down.
Fossil Formation
Fossilization is a process of preservation of once living life forms by a variety of different processes. The most well known types of fossilization are permineralization and carbonization or distillation. Certain parameters must be met in order for fossils to form. They are a rapid death and fast burial in relatively anaerobic conditions.
Dating Results Point to a Young Earth
Most people do not realize it, but over 90% of dating results point to a young earth. However, evolution rejects the 90% and only acknowledges the 10%. In one year, 21,000 carbon-14 specimens were submitted and 19,000 were rejected. Only 2,000 were considered accurate by evolutionist. Why?
Rocks and the Flood
Rocks contain important evidence about the origin of the earth. Geologists classify rocks into three basic types based upon the processes by which the rocks are formed. The first type is igneous rock, which is formed from magma. If magma reaches the earth’s surface, it changes into the lava that spills from volcanoes.
Carbon-14, Radiometric Dating and Index Fossils
Carbon dating is used to determine the age of biological artifacts up to 50,000 years old. This technique is widely used on recent artifacts, but educators and students alike should note that this technique will not work on older fossils (like those of the dinosaurs alleged to be millions of years old). This technique is not restricted to bones; it can also be used on cloth, wood and plant fibers.
Global Warming
Global Warming is being promoted as the next likely doomsday scenario. Like many other good doomsday scenarios they all have one common theme, e.g. human beings are contributing to the destruction of mankind by polluting the environment. While there are many factors that are driven by the human dynamic, some fundamental truths must be stated before a level headed strategy can be developed to handle the so-called Global Warming crisis.
Glacial Bacteria: Bad News for Evolutionists
The latest and allegedly “new” species of bacteria has been discovered in one of the most inhospitable environments known to man. The next in a long line of extremophiles, e.g. organisms that thrive in environments hostile to most life forms, has been cultured and dubbed for posterity as Herminiimonas glacieie.
