Since the late eighteenth century, most scientists have argued for a uniformitarian view of Earth’s history. They claim the world that exists today was sculpted by natural processes over billions of years. However, this interpretation presents many issues both scientifically and theologically. Contrary to popular belief, the global evidence indicates a recent catastrophic past.

 

By definition, science is truth attained by knowledge gained from evidence, but most students will only be presented with the uniformitarian view of Earth’s history. Recently, the Institute for Creation Research has had the privilege of publishing a geology textbook: Earth Systems: An Introduction to Earth System Origins, Structures, and Processes. This landmark textbook presents both worldviews, allowing the reader to examine both sides of the conversation.

 

In today’s episode, we’ll take a look at why such a biblical understanding of earth science is vital and why this textbook is such a valuable resource.

Welcome to the sixth episode in a series called “The Failures of Old Earth Creationism.” Many Christians attempt to fit old earth ideology into their beliefs, adopting uniformitarian or evolutionary pieces into their worldview. While this is often done in an effort to appeal to science, it often leads to major issues logically, scientifically, and theologically.

 

The Coconino Sandstone is a sedimentary rock formation famously exposed near the top of Grand Canyon, but it spreads much further, from northern Arizona, northwest Colorado, through Nevada, and Utah. This rock remains locked in geological controversy as two counterclaims vie for its origin. Those who believe in an old earth claim that the feature was primarily wind-deposited, while others claim that the sandstone was formed by water. Which of these is true, and why is the answer so important? 

 

In today’s episode, we’ll take a look at the Coconino Sandstone, examining the claims made from both sides.

Welcome to the fifth episode in a series called “The Failures of Old Earth Creationism.” Many Christians attempt to fit old earth ideology into their beliefs, adopting uniformitarian or evolutionary pieces into their worldview. While this is often done in an effort to appeal to science, it can cause major logical, scientific, and theological issues.

 

A geological phenomenon known as the Great Unconformity exists all across the world. This erosional surface presents a problem to uniformitarian scientists and old-earth creationists alike. Where did it come from? How is it so remarkably smooth? What could cause an erosional surface to such a global extent?

 

In today’s episode we’ll take a look at the Great Unconformity and unravel the mysteries within the rocks.

Welcome to the fourth episode in a series called “The Failures of Old Earth Creationism.” Many Christians attempt to fit old earth ideology into their beliefs, adopting uniformitarian or evolutionary pieces into their worldview. While this is often done in an effort to appeal to science, it can cause major logical, scientific, and theological issues.

 

Proponents of biological evolution claim that creatures are evolving upward over millions of years, becoming better and ‘more fit’ to survive with each successive generation through the accumulation of ‘beneficial mutations.’ However, even the most cursory dive into genetics shows something entirely different. In fact, the accumulation of mutations is detrimental, and also causes major problems with the concept of biologically long ages.

 

In today’s episode we’ll explore the evidence in an effort to reveal what’s going on beneath the skin.

Welcome to the third episode in a series called “The Failures of Old Earth Creationism.” Many Christians attempt to fit old earth ideology into their beliefs, adopting uniformitarian or evolutionary pieces into their worldview. While this is often done in an effort to appeal to science, it can cause major logical, scientific, and theological issues.

 

Lake Suigetsu is a large lake located near the coast of the Sea of Japan with a depth of about 34 meters at its center. Old Earth Creationists claim that the sediments from this lakebed absolutely show that the Earth is at least 50 thousand years old. What evidence are these scientists looking at that supposedly provide ironclad proof that the Young Earth Creationist model is wrong?

 

In today’s episode we’ll explore the evidence in an effort to uncover “The Truth About Lake Suigetsu,” dismantling the poor science that causes many well-meaning individuals down a path that only leads to error.

How do engineering principles, biological complexity, and a solid understanding of apologetics work together to further the cause of Christ? Why must believers be trained in ways to defend the faith?

Welcome to the second episode in a series called “The Failures of Old Earth Creationism.” Many Christians attempt to fit old earth ideology into their beliefs, adopting uniformitarian or evolutionary pieces into their worldview. While this is often done in an effort to appeal to science, it can cause major logical, scientific, and theological issues.

 

The conversation surrounding human origins has always been an intriguing one. One of the most debated subjects is the nature of the beings labeled ‘hominids,’ particularly Neanderthals. Biblical Creationists firmly place Neanderthals in the ‘human’ category—descendants of Adam and Eve, thus bearing God’s image. Most evolutionary biologists today also agree with Neanderthals being mostly human, leaving their genetic mark on our DNA through interbreeding.

 

Some old earth creationists suggest something quite different. They claim that Neanderthals were nothing more than animals—truly bipedal animals that are able to make and use tools, paint, and bury their dead—but animals nonetheless.

 

Is there any truth to this idea? Were they just animals? Or were they fully human, bearing the image of God? In today’s episode, we’ll dig into “The Mystery of the Soulless Hominids,” ex... More...

Today we’ll look at what is considered by many to be a strong argument for an old Earth: ice cores. Ice cores, cylindrical cores drilled from the thick ice sheets, are often presented as indisputable evidence of hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of years of Earth’s history, but how reliable are these claims? What assumptions lie beneath the surface of these interpretations? In this episode, we’ll discuss: what ice cores are and why they’re significant, the assumptions and flaws in Old Earth interpretations, and how ice cores ultimately align with a young Earth model.

America is home to stunning forests, mountains, monuments, and other wondrous features. The unique beauty of many of these locations has prompted both state and federal governments to designate them as national or state parks. Thousands upon thousands of visitors visit these sites daily to experience their awe-inspiring grandeur. But where did they come from? Many scientists claim that most of them formed slowly through uniformitarian processes, but is that true? Join us as we journey through Parks Across America.

 

In the first few episodes of this series, we explored America’s oldest national park – Yellowstone, as well as several other national parks and monuments. Today we’ll be visiting two other stunning locations that showcase catastrophic geology.
