Since my previous challenge got lost in the crash, I decided to repost it (it had had yet to be met).
The challenge is simple: Find a geologist who disagrees with the current accepted age of the Earth (~4.5 billion years), but does so for reasons independent of any religious convictions. |

My pleasure.
I figure since the last thread had left off with NebraskaMan promising examples "soon", I'd revive it. |

It would also help if the linked site actually had geologists who disagreed with the current accepted age of the Earth. Given that the Christian Geology Ministry is a group of old-Earth creationists, that ain't likely. |

C'mon... Is there not one single example of a geologist who disagrees with the current accepted age of the Earth for reasons other than religion?
This doesn't look promising for YEC.... |

Because you do not spend much time on creationist web sites.
"They have defined their syntheses of Flood geology and the GUC by the correlation of time boundaries in the GUC to those in Biblical history (Austin, 1994; Austin and Wise, 1994; Baumgardner, 1990; Snelling, Scheven, Garner, Ernst, Austin, Garton, Scheven, Wise, and Tyler, 1996)." http://www.creationresearch.org/crsq...2/cfjrgulf.htm
Dr. Kurt Wise has his Phd. from Harvard.
Steven A. Austin has a Phd in Geology. |
