A significant fraction of the earth’s radioactive elements, particularly uranium and thorium, appear to be in the granitic rock of the upper continental crust.
PDF DownloadEvolutionists say the oldest human fossil, the Ledi jaw (LD 350-1), shows humans had evolved from ancestors like Lucy in East Africa 2.8 million years ago.
Explore stunning evidence consistent with the young-earth model for the earth’s geomagnetic polarity reversal during the Flood and its aftermath.
Despite debate about the accuracy of the uranium “clocks” they contain, scientists say they’ve found a zircon with a confirmed age of 4.4 billion years.
Microbes, fully-functioning stromatolites, and even stromatolite reefs may have been created by God before Day Three of the Creation Week.
This article summarizes the purpose, history, and intermediate findings of the RATE project five years into an eight-year effort.
PDF DownloadAn astonishing discovery made over the past 20 years is that, almost without exception, organic samples from every portion of the Phanerozoic record show detectable amounts of 14C!
PDF DownloadBecause of the enormous explanatory and predictive success of the plate tectonics model, we feel that at least some portion of plate tectonics theory should be incorporated into the creation model.
PDF DownloadOf the two styles of metamorphism, contact and regional, the latter is most often used to argue against the young-earth creation-Flood model.
PDF DownloadThe pattern in the discordances may provide clues into the physics responsible for time variations in the decay process.
PDF DownloadThe Somerset Dam layered mafic intrusion in southeast Queensland, Australia, has been conventionally dated as Late Triassic by the apparently successful application of radioisotopic dating techniques.
PDF DownloadOnly changing radioisotope decay rates in the past could account for these discordant isochron ‘ages’ for the same geologic event
PDF DownloadFor more than twenty years it has been known that the Rb-Sr and K-Ar systems give discordant ‘ages’ for Cardenas Basalt and associated Proterozoic diabase sills and dikes of Grand Canyon.
PDF DownloadMt. Ngauruhoe in the Taupo Volcanic Zone of New Zealand erupted andesite lava flows in 1949 and 1954, and avalanche deposits in 1975.
PDF DownloadMt. Ngauruhoe is an andesite stratovolcano, rising above the Tongariro volcanic massif within the Tongariro Volcanic Center of the Taupo Volcanic Zone.
PDF DownloadAs with other isochron methods, the U-Pb isochron method has been questioned in the open literature.
PDF DownloadWe offer an explanation for the radiohalos and for the “tubes” in these diamonds in terms of a hydrothermal fluid transport model for Po radiohalo formation.
PDF DownloadThe Po radiohalos and other evidence associated with this granite thus remove objections to Flood geology and any need to place the Flood/post-Flood boundary in the lower Carboniferous.
PDF DownloadThe origin and significance of radiohalos have been debated for almost a century, perhaps largely because their geological distribution has been poorly understood.
PDF DownloadOne of the scientific objections to a young earth is the apparent evidence that large plutons of granitic and other igneous intrusive rocks necessarily required millions of years to cool from magmas.
PDF DownloadThe fossilised wood’s radiocarbon demonstrates the basalt’s youthfulness and the failure of radioisotopic ‘dating’, but is consistent with a Flood/immediate post-Flood stronger magnetic field.
As with other radiometric ‘dating’ methods, the U-Pb and Pb-Pb isochron methods have been questioned in the open literature.
The ‘classical’ model for regional metamorphism presupposes elevated temperatures and pressures due to deep burial and deformation/tectonic forces over large areas over millions of years.
By working from what is known to occur today, even if rare and catastrophic by today’s standards, we can realistically calculate production of thick chalk beds within the conditions of the Flood.
