• Lies In The Textbooks Part 2 - The Geologic Column

  The following information, unless otherwise stated, comes from Dr. Kent Hovind of Creation Science Evangelism.  For more information on this and other Creation Science related subjects, visit www.drdino.com.

   

  II Peter 3:3 tells us that in the last days there will be scoffers walking after their own lusts.  People don't reject the Bible for any scientific reason, okay?  They reject it because that book chaps their hide, and that's all it is.  Even Sir Julian Huxley, one of the world's leading evolutionists is quoted as saying, "I suppose the reason we lept at The Origin Of Species was that the idea of God interfered with our sexual mores."  So, there he's admitting it fully... that they embrace evolution, because the only alternative is God and that interferes with the lusts of the flesh.  Sir Arthur Keith said, "Evolution is unproved and unprovable.  We believe it only because the only alternative is special creation, and that is unthinkable."  II Peter goes on to say that these scoffers will say "the way it's happening now is the way it's always been happening" and calls them willingly ignorant.  In the Greek that means, "dumb on purpose."   

  James Hutton was the first man to propose that the earth was not 6,000 years old, but millions of years old.  He believed the earth was brought here by uniformitarianism.  That word literally means, "the present is the key to the past."  He proposed that the slow, gradual processes that were happening today were the way it has always been and therefore it had to have taken much longer than a few thousand years to lay down the foundations of the earth.  This was in the late 1700's. 

  Now, let's talk about the geologic column for a few minutes.  The geologic column is the supposed layers of the earth, all laid out neatly in a row on a sheet of paper.

  

  Now each layer of rock in this drawing was given a name, an age, and an index fossil.  Now, keep in mind all of this was done in the 1800's before there ever was radiocarbon dating, or potassium argon dating, or any other "dating" method.  So they didn't get these ages from any radiometric decay method.  They just picked numbers out of the clear. blue. sky.

  It's a fact that the earth has sedimentary layers.  The question is, how did they get there?  One group says they formed slowly over millions of years.  The other group says no, they formed quickly during the flood in the days of Noah. 

  The geologic column is the evolutionist's bible.  However, the only place you will ever find it is in the textbooks.  It does not exist anywhere else in the world.  A 1996 science textbook even admits it by saying, "if there were a column of sediments... unfortunately no such column exists."  There is no geologic column.  If there was, it would be 100 miles thick!  Biology p. 385.  It does not exist, and that is lie #2 being taught to your children.  It's a drawing put together in the 1800's which cannot even be dated.  (Beyond that, we will go into the unreliability of radiocarbon dating in a later blog.) 

  Let's look for a second at those layers. 

  

  Now, if that layer is really 10 million years old, don't you think it's going to rain every once in a while?  In 10 million years?  Why are there no erosion marks between the layers?  Why are they stacked on top of each other just like a stack of pancakes?  And by the way, why are there no soil layers between the rock layers?  Don't you think some soil would have settled down in 10 million years?

  The geologic column does not exist, folks.  And those layers did not take 10 million years to form.

  Be blessed!  Love y'all!
