For more details visit: http://creation.com/creation-magazine-live-episode-28 Geologist Dr Steve Austin is responsible for making great advancements in creationist geology. This episode features an interview with Dr Austin from Creation magazine. His research into geological catastrophism (over uniformitarianism) on coal, around Mount St Helens, in Grand Canyon, in Yellowstone and other places has helped many people to better understand what the global flood of Noah could have accomplished geologically. His research on Catastrophic Plate Tectonics (CPT) and radioisotope dating and also included.

When scientists announced the discovery of the Wollemi Pine in Australia, in 1994, it caused a sensation. Some reported that it was like finding a living dinosaur, because the tree was only known from fossils in ‘Jurassic’ rocks. That would make it extinct for 150 million years, by evolutionary reckoning. Finds like this are actually quite common. When something that scientists thought became extinct millions of years ago is found alive, it’s called a ‘living fossil’. But ‘living fossils’ pose a problem for evolution—since the organism hasn’t changed, it brings into question the supposed millions of years age as well [More]
When most people hear the word ‘explosion’, they often think of destroyed buildings and injured people. But geologists have long recognized a different type of ‘explosion’ in earth’s sedimentary rocks, known as the Cambrian explosion. Cambrian rocks are a group of rocks—found around the world—in which we find fossils of many of the major animal groups. This is significant because Precambrian rocks, found below the Cambrian, don’t generally contain much fossil material—but then in the Cambrian—there are fossils in abundance. In fact, this transition is so dramatic that some call it the Cambrian Big Bang. But probably the most devastating [More]

In 2001 a fossil skull found in Chad electrified the world’s scientific community. Nicknamed ‘Toumai’, this creature supposedly lived when the human and chimp lineages allegedly split, making it the oldest human ancestor ever found. The leader of the team that made the discovery confessed: ‘It’s a lot of emotion to have in my hand the beginning of the human lineage…I have been looking for this for so long. I knew I would one day find it, so it is a large part of my life.’ But not all scientists accept this conclusion. For instance, Dr Brigitte Senut of the [More]

You’ve probably heard that, ‘diamonds are a girl’s best friend’, but diamonds also teach us an important lesson about the age of the earth. Diamonds are made of carbon. One rare type of carbon—known as carbon 14—is radioactive, which means that it breaks down over time. By measuring the amount of decay, scientists estimate how old something is. Some people think that carbon 14 dating proves things happened millions of years ago. But that is wrong, because carbon 14 decays so fast that something a million years old could not contain any carbon 14. Geophysicist Dr John Baumgardner recently investigated [More]
When you consider the 206 bones in your body, a humble toe bone does not seem that significant. But in July 2001, Time Magazine ran a cover story where a single toe bone was the star attraction. The article featured a recent fossil discovery from Ethiopia, which allegedly showed how mankind’s ape-like ancestors first stood up on two legs. Readers were told ‘Meet your newfound ancestor, a chimp-like forest creature that stood up and walked 5.8 million years ago’. Remarkably, however, they based their claim that this creature walked upright, and was supposedly our ancestor, on the shape of a [More]
In 1978, a team led by Mary Leakey discovered a series of footprints in Tanzania. These are known as the Laetoli footprints. According to many researchers, these footprints are identical to those made by humans. Paleoanthropologist, Donald Johanson stated, ‘Make no mistake about it, they are like modern human footprints’. Why is it, then, that most scientists reject the idea that humans made these footprints? To understand this odd situation, it’s important to realize that evolutionists think that the footprints were made in mud 3.6 million years ago. Therefore, according to such evolutionary ideas, humans weren’t around then, so the [More]

Many people remember being taught that the fossil record shows a progression of evolution over millions of years, with a certain fixed order of fossils showing a lineage of simpler to more complex forms. Recent findings that have forced a rethinking of evolutionary assumptions that overthrow the idea that fossils are never found ‘out of place’.

Some details about the Catastrophic Plate Tectonics (CPT) model introduced in Episode 15 are discussed. This model provides Christians with a reasonable explanation to challenges from skeptics regarding the origin of the earth’s large scale geologic features as well as providing a picture of the incredible forces occurring on and beneath the earth during the Flood.

How do ‘living fossils’ remain unchanged over supposed hundreds of millions of years.

Dinosaur fossils are often found in an unusual posture, characterized by their head thrown back, hind-limbs bent and tails extended. Over the years scientists have proposed different theories to explain this puzzling phenomenon. However, according to paleontologist Cynthia Marshal Foe, there is only one legitimate explanation, which is that the dinosaurs died of asphyxiation. It is well know that animals, starved of oxygen when the die, can go into this characteristic posture due to muscle spasms. This new understanding of dinosaur fossilization fits well with the Bible’s history, where many dinosaurs were rapidly buried in sediment during the global flood. [More]

This raises the ire of many in the evolutionary establishment, and often they will accuse creationists of ‘taking their remarks out of context’. Richard and Calvin discuss a particularly damning quote by a famous evolutionist and show how it is often evolutionists that are muddying the waters surrounding this issue and not creationists.

Question 9 in CMI’s ’15 Questions for Evolutionists’ flyer has plagued evolutionists since the time of Darwin. Where are the transitional fossils? Evolutionary paleontologists have stated that the “missing links” are still missing and some, such as the late Stephen J. Gould, have suggested new ways of interpreting the fossil record due to the lack of transitional fossils.

When the BBC produced the series “Walking with the Dinosaurs” a few years ago they had to search the globe for appropriate filming locations but whenever they discovered an otherwise suitable site the ground was inevitably covered in grass and back in the year 1999 that was an evolutionary impossibility. You see, until recently, most evolutionary scientists believed that grasses first evolved 55 million years ago long after the supposed extinction of the dinosaurs but since then studies of fossilized dinosaur dung showed that not only did dinosaurs and grass live at the same time but that dinosaurs actually ate [More]
Unless you’ve been living underground for the last few years, I’m sure you’ve heard of feathered dinosaurs. It seems we’re constantly hearing that birds evolved from dinosaurs, some have even suggested that KFC could change its name to KFD, Kentucky fried dinosaur. But not all evolutionary scientists accept the dino to bird dogma. A prominent one is renowned ornithologist Alan Feduccia of the University of North Carolina. He recently stated, “The theory that birds are the equivalent of living dinosaurs and that dinosaurs were feathered is so full of holes that the creationists have jumped all over it.” He further [More]
A meteorite supposedly hit Mexico, 65 million years ago, causing the extinction of dinosaurs but someone forgot to tell the duck-billed Hadrosaur. According to research published by the Geological society of America was discovered near the impact site in strata some evolutionists claim are 64 million years old. That’s one million years after the meteorite hit. The idea that dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago has lots of problems but entrenched ideas are hard to dislodge. Dinosaur researcher Dr Mary Schweitzer recently found soft looking blood vessels and red blood cells in bones of T-Rex. She said, “This is [More]

An understanding of what the Flood was like and what it could accomplish (geologically) is a key to understanding the age of the Earth. The Catastrophic Plate Tectonics (CPT) model is discussed as a mechanism operating during the Flood to explain many large scale geologic features observed today.
