Creationism & Flood Geology From the Guide: This is one of the reasons why the Flood story in Genesis plays such a central role in the arguments of Scientific Creationists. It isn't simply a means of demonstrating that Creationism can be scientific; rather, it is also a means for undermining evolution. Coal Beds, Creationism, and Mt. St. Helens Many creationists argue that Spirit Lake near Mount St. Helens proves that coal could have formed in a short period of time following a catastrophic global flood. This article challenges the creationist coal formation scenario. Devonian Chattanooga Shale: a Volcanic Ash-Fall Deposit? Some creationists contend that large shale deposits are the result of a volcanic activity during the Bible's catastrophic global flood, but their contentions are contradicted by the physical evidence. Dinosaur Prints in Coal A set of dinosaur footprints located in a coal seam raises some difficult questions for creationists who believe in a catastrophic global flood. Flood Stories from around the World While flood myths are common to practically every culture on the planet, most of them are significantly different in detail. This article describes nearly a hundred flood myths originating from cultures all over the globe. Geology in Error?: The Lewis Thrust Creationists often claim that geological strata are found out of order. What they fail to understand is that the phenomenon of overthrusting is the cause. This article explains the concept and alludes to an example popular among creationists: the Lewis Thrust. ICR Grand Canyon Research Project A draft discussion of the ICR's Grand Canyon Dating Project, as proposed and executed by the ICR's Steve Austin. Austin has obtained some bad Rb-Sr isochron dates, though there are several serious questions regarding his methodology. Noah's Ark - Why It's a Load of Old Cobblers Fabulous article showing the total lunacy of the Noah's Ark myth. "Man Tracks?": The Paluxy River Footprint Controversy For many years, creationists claimed that a set of human tracks were found alongside dinosaur tracks in the Paluxy riverbed near Glen Rose, Texas. However, due in large part to the diligent investigative and scientific work of Glen Kuban, even most creationists now doubt the authenticity of the "man tracks". "Polystrate" Fossils Creationists and catastrophists have attempted to justify a global flood by claiming that there are fossils cutting through many geological strata. A number of so-called "polystrate" fossils are examined here. Problems with a Global Flood Unanswered - and probably unanswerable - questions about the idea that such a flood happened. Sun Pictures and the Noah's Ark Hoax In 1993, CBS aired a purported documentary called The Incredible Discovery of Noah's Ark. The show's producers, however, were the victims of a hoax. The Vapor Canopy Hypothesis Holds No Water Jehovah's Witnesses and a number of creationists have claimed that water vapor formed a global canopy in the Earth's upper atmosphere prior to the great flood. This article examines a few of the physical difficulties presented by such a hypothesis. Woodmorappe's "Noah's Ark: A Feasibility Study" Creationist John Woodmorappe has given himself the daunting task of making the biblical flood myth seem plausible. As this review illustrates, he was not entirely successful. Christian Geology Ministry Attempt to explain the time gaps in the Genesis creation account, the pre-Adamite world, and the geophysics of Noah's flood. Flood Stories from around the World Most flood myths are significantly different in detail. This article describes nearly a hundred flood myths originating from cultures all over the globe.
