Michael J. Oard Articles

• Technical Research Paper

  Dealing Carefully with the Data, Continued

  April 1, 2002, pp. 82–85

  More information is provided from the ocean floor on the uniformitarian assumptions that undergird his belief in plate tectonics.

• Research Paper

  'Snowball Earth'—A Problem for the Supposed Origin of Multicellular Animals

  April 1, 2002, pp. 6–9

  For creationists, the rocks and their associated ‘glacial diagnostic features’ can be explained very easily. They are the result of gigantic submarine landslides in a warm ocean in the Genesis Flood.

• Technical Research Paper

  Does the Catastrophic Plate Tectonics Model Assume Too Much Uniformitarianism?

  April 1, 2002, pp. 73–77

  Baumgardner’s model is elegant, but contains many problems. The most serious seems to be assuming plate tectonics has been proven and too much uniformitarianism.

• Technical Research Paper

  Dealing Carefully with the Data

  April 1, 2002, pp. 68–72

  Michael Oard’s first contribution in this forum lays out a valid criticism of uniformitarian plate tectonics—namely the quantity and character of the sediments in the deep ocean trenches.

  Wild Ice-Core Interpretations by Uniformitarian Scientists

  April 1, 2002, pp. 45–47

  Uniformitarian scientists derive many more ‘annual layers’ in the Greenland ice cores than creationists because of their assumed old age time scale.

• Research Paper

  A Uniformitarian Paleo-Environmental Dilemma at Clarkia, Idaho, USA

  April 1, 2002, pp. 3–4

  A farmer digging a snowmobile course accidentally unearthed one of the most remarkably-preserved plant fossil localities in the world.

• Technical Research Paper

  Field Studies in the Columbia River Basalt, Northwest USA

  April 1, 2002, pp. 103–110

  Taken together, the features of the Columbia River basalts suggest that they were mostly extruded and emplaced during the Late Abative Phase of the Recessive Stage of the Flood.

• Aren’t 250 Million Year Old Live Bacteria a Bit Much?

  Dec. 26, 2001

  We are being bombarded by numerous scientific reports describing the discovery of ‘living’ organisms or parts of organisms in ‘old’ rocks.

• Technical Research Paper

  Do Greenland Ice Cores Show over One Hundred Thousand Years of Annual Layers?

  Dec. 1, 2001, pp. 39–42

  It is the Greenland Ice Sheet that exhibits annual cycles of one or more of the variables down an ice core.

• The Supposed Consistency of Evolution’s Long Ages

  Aug. 16, 2001

  Perhaps the most challenging aspect of the theory of evolution is the apparent consistency of its corollary, the long-age geological system.

• Research Paper

  Did Lucy Walk Upright?

  Aug. 1, 2001, pp. 9–10

  For over 20 years, Lucy or Australopithecus afarensis has been considered one of our first ‘ancestors’, mainly because it supposedly walked upright.

• Controversy Over “Early Paleolithic” Stone “Tools” in Canada Continues

  Aug. 1, 2001

  Have you ever wondered about those stone ‘tools’ that evolutionists discover?

• Research Paper

  Rating Radiodating

  Aug. 1, 2001, pp. 31–32

  A group of young-Earth researchers called RATE (Radioisotopes and the Age of The Earth) are investigating radioactive dating methods and developing alternative young-Earth explanations.

• Research Paper

  End-Mesozoic Extinction of Dinosaurs Partly Based on Circular Reasoning

  Aug. 1, 2001, pp. 6–7

  Creationists are well aware that rocks are often dated by the fossils they contain.

• Research Paper

  Supposed eukaryote evolution pushed back one billion years

  April 1, 2001, pp. 4–5

  Such a dramatic extension back in time for the eukaryotic cell raises even more questions for evolutionists regarding the evolution of life.

• Research Paper

  'Nucha' and Plate Tectonics

  April 1, 2001, pp. 58–59

  This bias against the plate tectonics paradigm has developed after examining the paradigm for 25 years. I find many serious problems with it that I have recently catalogued.

• Comment on “Land of the Mammoth”

  March 16, 2001

  “Land of the Mammoth” on the Discovery Channel was a sequel to the show of last March in which mammoth researchers dug out what they thought was a frozen carcass encased in a block of icy mud.

• Research Paper

  Did 'Old World Early Paleolithic' People Travel to North America?

  Dec. 1, 2000, pp. 3–5

  For creationists, these reports of 'Early Paleolithic tools' raise questions that need further research.

• Research Paper

  Doppler Toppler?

  Dec. 1, 2000, pp. 39–45

  What if the redshift of starlight is unrelated to the Doppler effect, i.e. the principle that relative motion changes the observed frequency of the light emitted from a light source?

• Technical Research Paper

  The Extinction of the Woolly Mammoth: Was It a Quick Freeze?

  Dec. 1, 2000, pp. 24–34

  Mammoth remains have puzzled scientists and laymen for hundreds of years.

• Research Paper

  A Tropical Reptile in the 'Cretaceous' Arctic

  Aug. 1, 2000, pp. 9–10

  A century ago, a shock went through the scientific community when a whaling crew reported finding fossil wood on the Antarctic Peninsula.

• Research Paper

  How Well do Paleontologists Know Fossil Distributions?

  April 1, 2000, pp. 7–8

  It would be great if we could know the actual three-dimensional distribution of the fossils in the earth. This would go a long way towards understanding their deposition during the Flood.

• Research Paper

  Problems for 'Giant Impact' Origin of Moon

  April 1, 2000, pp. 6–7

  Evolutionary astronomers have great trouble accounting for the origin of the moon. There have generally been three competing hypotheses, but they all have serious physical problems.

• Technical Research Paper

  Antiquity of Landforms

  April 1, 2000, pp. 35–39

  Non-creationists do not believe there is objective evidence for a young earth. However, landforms now provide that evidence.
