Yes and no. It can tell us something about the history of our planet, but not the full story.
Excellent question. This forces me to modify what I said as follows: “This is something a true Christian should never agree to.”
Yes. I believe that the flood was accompanied by a great volcanic activity that elevated great portions of the submerged land mass.
A friend of his challenged him to get into this field, and he accepted this after getting the proper training. Read again his bio.

Creationist biologist and geologist
Biography
Ariel A. Roth has published extensively on the creation-evolution issue for over 50 years and is a leading figure in Flood geology. He is a former professor of biology and director of the Geoscience Research Institute at the Loma Linda University in the USA and editor of the scientific journal Origins. Roth has a B.A. in Biology from the Pacific Union College and a M.S. and Ph.D. in biology from the University of Michigan. In addition he has qualifications in radiation biology from the University of California at Berkley and in geology and mathematics from the University of California at Riverside. He is a member of the Geological Society of America and the Society for Sedimentary Geologists. Roth is a prolific author of scientific papers in the fields of biology and geology as well as of the book Origins: Linking Science and Scripture. For more information see interview with Ariel Roth. See also his chapter in In Six Days.
My reference to mystery was directed at the Big Bang theory--mystery because the explosion is described by scientists as a Singularity. A singularity cannot be explained by the laws of physics.
Thank you. I am impressed. Do you believe that your training and experience far surpasses that of Dr. Ariel Roth?
I agree with said assumption. What I do not agree with is with the assumption that we can find all the answers dealing with origins.
Yes, our planet is probably that old, but human life is rather young, I believe.
That is true. And finding out where the laws of physics don't work is half of the problem in finding new and more accurate ones. One of the earliest applications of Einstein's theory of relativity was an area where Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation did not work. The precession of Mercury had been giving scientists fits for over fifty years. Mercury's precession was the first problem this new theory solved. And of course we are most familiar with it in regards to the atomic bomb. And now its most common usage may be in working with satellites so that your GPS can tell you where you are. Who knows what new products and energy sources we will get when the problems of the singularity are solved. Right now our math does work up to just a fraction of a second after the Big Bang.
If the person is honest in his/her belief, the Lord will correct his error either before his return or afterwards.
