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.
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.
When one examines Michael Oard’s own alternative explanations for the tectonic features of the Earth, it should be plain he is not concerned with serious alternatives to the paradigm he is attacking.
More information is provided from the ocean floor on the uniformitarian assumptions that undergird his belief in plate tectonics.
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.
The trends cited in whale evolution are rather superficial in nature, and little different from those that become apparent by lining up wheeled vehicles within a cladogram.
It is the Greenland Ice Sheet that exhibits annual cycles of one or more of the variables down an ice core.
Darwinism misled researchers into developing a harmful set of treatment techniques for certain back conditions.
Naturalistic explanations have failed so far to explain the anomalous thermal behavior of Uranus.
A long-accepted mid-Carboniferous ‘paleokarst’ in the western United States fails several tests for subaerial exposure at the time of ‘karstification.’
This paper focuses on the clause Job 40:17a, which is crucial to the proposition that Behemoth could have been a type of dinosaur.
The theory of biological evolution is not a modern idea. Organic evolution was first taught by the Greeks at least as early as the 7th century BC.
While science fiction has predicted many beneficial technologies, the genre is permeated with unrealism, humanism, occultism, New Age philosophy, and Eastern mysticism.
According to the theory of sexual selection, the peacock tail has gradually evolved because the peahen selects beautiful males for mating.
Some creationists believe that the scientific assault on the Bible did not begin with biological evolution, but with the acceptance of the geokinetic theory.
It was once thought that granitic magma was so viscous that it would take hundred of millions of years for granitic rocks to form.
Mammoth remains have puzzled scientists and laymen for hundreds of years.
Critic Paul H. Seely claims that the Bible teaches that the earth is a flat disc consisting of a single continent floating on a circular sea.
Unlike historical dating which depends on direct observation of past events, and is reliable, all 'scientific' dating methods depend on assumptions about what happened in the past.
Oxygen isotopes in ice cores extracted from polar regions exhibit a decreasing trend in the ratio of the heavy to light isotopes from the beginning of the Ice Age to its end.
The experiments investigated the stratification of heterogeneous sand mixtures either in still water or in a unidirectional water flow presumably at room temperature.
The conclusions drawn from the sedimentation experiments presented on the video Drama in the Rocks are reiterated and defended.
Profound advances in the fields of molecular biology in recent years have enabled the elucidation of cell structure and function in detail previously unimaginable.
The study of this Mount St Helens dacite causes the more fundamental question to be asked—how accurate are K-Ar ‘ages’ from the many other phenocryst-containing lava flows worldwide?
Answers in Genesis is an apologetics ministry, dedicated to helping Christians defend their faith and proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ.
