  • Book Chapter
    The Snowblitz
    Oct. 1, 2004 from Frozen in Time

    Oct. 1, 2004 from Frozen in Time

    After the Flood drained off the land, the world’s ocean and land temperatures were constantly changing as they strove toward the relative equilibrium we experience today.

  • Book Chapter
    Only One Ice Age
    Oct. 1, 2004 from Frozen in Time

    We often hear glacial geologists speak of numerous ice ages, as if it is certain. They hypothesize up to 30 different ones, each separated by interglacials, during the past 2.5 million years.

    Where Was Man During the Ice Age?
    Oct. 1, 2004 from Frozen in Time

    Mammoths Thrive Early in the Post-Flood Ice Age
    Oct. 1, 2004 from Frozen in Time

    We have developed the post-Flood Ice Age model based on the climatic aftermath of the Genesis flood. Now we are in a position to delve into the mysteries of the woolly mammoth.

  • Book Chapter
    Were Siberian Mammoths Quick Frozen?
    Oct. 1, 2004 from Frozen in Time

    Despite its appeal, there is much evidence against the quick-freeze hypothesis.

  • Technical Research Paper
    Ice Cores vs the Flood
    Aug. 1, 2004, pp. 58–61

    Show that ice core dating methods are not independent and open to significant reinterpretation. The root of the problem is the uncritical acceptance of the uniformitarian paradigm.

    Long-age Puzzle of Thin Ice at the Edge of the Laurentide Ice Sheet
    Aug. 1, 2004, pp. 5–6

    The margin of the Laurentide Ice Sheet in North America was generally composed of lobes, possibly as the result of rapid movement or surges to the south.

  • Research Paper
    Paleocene Dinosaurs and the Reinforcement Syndrome
    Dec. 1, 2003, pp. 5–8

    Evolutionary scientists have proclaimed for years that the dinosaurs died out at the end of the Cretaceous, exactly 65 million years ago. This date has been considered an evolutionary fact of nature.

  • Magazine Article
    Neandertal Man—the Changing Picture
    Sept. 1, 2003, pp. 10–14

  • Magazine Article
    In the Footsteps of Giants
