According to evolutionists, the ice cores formed slowly over a long time, with each layer supposedly representing one winter/summer cycle. But during one winter there can be many cycles of melting and snowing. These layers actually represent the weather patterns of the ice age a few thousand years ago.

We know many of these layers can form in one year because, during World War II, a fleet of airplanes were abandoned in Greenland. Fifty years later the planes were recovered under 250 feet of ice! Clearly more than one layer can form during one season.

Ice cores don’t show long ages. They’re a remnant of the ice age.
