       ---------------------------------------------------------
       This paper is under construction. It started with a forum
       discussion at
  HTML http://www.thunderbolts.inf
       o/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=16025
       which is still ongoing. The material here is mainly quoted from
       that discussion, with much deleted and all reorganized. I plan
       to use that material as an aid for writing this paper. I'll
       probably retain some of the quotes, but I expect not a lot of
       them. As I write the paper, I expect I'll delete most of the
       forum discussion.
       PREQUEL: CATASTROPHIC GEOLOGY
       Uniformitarian Geology (like other establishment institutions)
       is a house of cards ready to fall down, just from the slightest
       new impact. The weak link in the chain of arguments for
       conventional geology is the  assumption that sedimentary rock
       strata were deposited very gradually, each stratum requireing
       thousands of years to accumulate and lithify. The internet has
       allowed amateurs to enter serious discussions of science, making
       it more democratic and less authoritarian. Authoritarianism is
       coming to be seen as barbaric and outdated, which it is. See the
       Foreword below for some of the detailed non-religious reasons
       that strata must have been deposited under catastrophic
       conditions, not gradualistic ones.

       FOREWORD
       OVERVIEW
       I think the following is a rather objective analysis of others'
       findings on Solar System Chronology.
       . Origin.
       The Earth and the Moon are of indeterminate ages.
       >6k. Supercontinent.
       A collision with an asteroid partly formed a supercontinent on
       Earth and possibly also formed the Moon over 6,000 years ago.
       The land had no mountains. Earth was shrouded in a much thicker
       atmosphere.
       >6k. Precambrian Strata.
       A close encounter with the Moon or an asteroid caused tsunamis
       that formed pre-Cambrian sedimentary rock strata on the Earth
       without fossils, also over 6,000 years ago.
       6k+. Life.
       Life originated on Earth at least 6,000 years ago. Dinosaurs
       dominated the supercontinent. The climate on the supercontinent
       centered on the equator was warm.
       5k. Great Flood.
       A close encounter with a large body caused tsunamis that formed
       sedimentary rock strata about a mile thick containing fossils on
       the supercontinent about 5,000 years ago. Many large meteors
       impacted the Earth. The dinosaurs were mostly wiped out. Much of
       the atmosphere was lost.
       5-4.5k. Mammals.
       The supercontinent became dominated by large mammals after the
       flood.
       4.5k. Conflagration.
       Large meteors hit the Yucatan, Hudson Bay and possibly Siberia.
       They caused a conflagration and deposited ash and glass debris
       about 4,500 years ago.
       4.4k. Supercontinent Breakup.
       A very large meteor hit the supercontinent north of Madagascar
       about 4,400 years ago. The impact broke it apart and the
       continents slid over the Moho layer to near their present
       positions in a short time. This flooded large areas and killed
       most of the large mammals. The northern continents were pushed
       north and Antarctica south into freezing climates. Mountains and
       volcanoes formed on the continents.
       4.4-. Ice Age.
       Volcanoes and hurricanes put a lot of dust in the air, which
       cooled the air and caused precipitation of heavy rain and snow.
       Glaciation covered much of Europe and North America. This lasted
       a few hundred years.
       4.4-4.2k. Resettlement.
       Humans migrated and started bronze-age civilizations in Sumer,
       Egypt, India, China and possibly Brazil about 4,200 years ago.
       Myths and religions commemorated the former Golden Age.
       >6k-4.4k. Golden Age.
       Venus, Mars and Earth were planets of Saturn until about 4,400
       years ago, when the system destabilized and broke up, causing
       major impacts on Earth, the Moon and other bodies.
       GEOLOGY BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD
       Good news and bad news:  the bad news is that society has been
       increasingly corrupted by corporate profit-making and
       exploitation, using fraud and other deception.
       This Catastrophic Geology is not based on Religious Beliefs. The
       U.S. started out as a place to practice the Christian ideal of
       sharing love for all and that has never gone away, but it has
       come to have much less influence on the public. The Christian
       ideal was never very pure though either, as it was mixed with
       irrational fear of God instead of being pure love. Now corporate
       greed has become the dominant influence in the U.S. Not that
       profit-making is a bad thing; it isn't. Some, like John Stossel,
       say greed is a good thing. That's shallow thinking.
       Profit-making isn't greed, but is merely meeting one's needs.
       Greed is an addiction to wanting more than one needs, which
       results in shortages and thus makes it harder for others to meet
       their own needs.
       Nearly all our institutions have become corrupted by corporate
       greed, even including science and health care. Since the purpose
       of "everything" has become to make maximum corporate profit,
       instead of to help everyone, a great deal of fraud has entered
       into these institutions. The good news is that we now have an
       opportunity to re-evaluate all of the claims of the
       institutions, find and highlight all of the fraudulent claims
       and move forward with new findings that will benefit all.
       In this paper I will start with re-examining the history of the
       solar system. The history of health care, politics and economics
       would probably have more immediate benefit for the public, but
       I'll write about that later. Better understanding of the history
       of the solar system should have benefits for the public as well,
       since it should lead to better means for humanity to colonize
       space, i.e. the rocky bodies in space.
       The first space work priority should be protecting Earth from
       asteroid and meteor impacts and cleaning up near space so
       satellites and spacecraft can orbit Earth or travel away from
       Earth without colliding with space junk. Next should be setting
       up bases on the Moon and then on Mars, and later inside
       asteroids, comets and other moons. Later, Venus should be made
       habitable by causing some icy asteroids to crash onto it. Earth
       itself can also harbor a lot more life in the Arctic and
       Antarctic and on the oceans and even in near space.
       TWO BIG ERRORS IN GEOLOGY
       1. Radioactive Decay Clock.
       Science began to be taken over by corporate interests in the
       late 1800s and these interests tended to be antireligious.
       Religious people tended to believe that the Earth was hit with a
       global flood a few thousand years ago, because the Bible makes
       that claim, and religious geologists found abundant evidence of
       such a flood.
       The antireligious geologists, who probably wanted to prove the
       Bible was wrong, were not making much headway until in the early
       1900s radioactivity was discovered and along with that was found
       the decay rates of radioactive elements. The decay rates
       indicated how old some rock formations were, but the estimates
       were based on some important unproven assumptions, e.g. that all
       of the element called lead was a decay product and that the
       decay rates can never change under any circumstances. __I'll
       discuss these probably false assumptions later.__
       By the way, the Bible very likely is wrong about some things,
       although the errors may be mostly innocent transcriber errors.
       But it's apparently not very wrong about the Great Flood. It may
       be wrong or misunderstood about Noah's Ark.
       2. Sedimentary Rock Strata & Fossil Formation.
       Religious geologists in the 1800s probably had naive ideas about
       the Great Flood. The Bible gives the impression that constant
       heavy rain for 40 days caused the flood and the waters calmly
       rose up until they overtopped the highest mountains and all the
       land creatures drowned.
       More recent religious geologists have come up with much better
       ideas. The flood was more likely caused by tsunamis and the
       tsunamis were likely caused by a large asteroid or the Moon
       coming close enough to Earth to cause huge tidal waves for
       several months. And tall mountains likely did not exist yet, so
       the tsunamis did not need to be so high.
       An amateur religious geologist friend says that the Bible
       mentions that "matar" fell during the flood and he thinks the
       matar means meteors and the fountains of the deep were meteor
       splashes in the oceans.
       If the flood waters rose calmly just from rain and maybe
       underground waters, the sedimentary rock strata and fossils
       would not be well explained, but if tsunamis caused the flood,
       that would explain the strata and fossils very well. The
       tsunamis would have brought mud and sand from the continental
       margins onto the land, burying animals and plants and forming
       strata containing fossils.
       Antibiblical geologists are now stuck with the most implausible
       arguments for strata and fossil formation. They must imagine
       there were some mountains of pure sand, other mountains of pure
       clay and others of pure lime, that took turns eroding away so as
       to deposit in broad, shallow seas first, e.g. a stratum of sand
       that became sandstone, then a stratum of lime that became
       limestone, then a stratum of clay that became shale or mudstone,
       and repeating that process numerous times, with each stratum
       taking thousands of years to form, usually without mixing with
       any of the other mountain erosion materials. This slow
       sedimentation was somehow supposed to bury all of the organisms
       that are now fossils. They solve the problem by ignoring it and
       seldom mentioning it. I'll go into details later in section
       [1-2c].

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       EARTH ORIGIN
       An excellent amateur scientist friend, Charles Chandler, with
       detailed analysis determined that the Sun and planets must have
       originated about 380 million years ago. He found that the star
       formation process is primarily electrical, as explained in his
       Astrophysics and Geophysics papers at
  HTML http://qdl.scs-inc.us/?top=6031
       . However, it's also possible
       that Earth originated elsewhere and was captured by the Sun
       later. In his model a planet can form either as a smaller bead
       of plasma next to a larger bead or two of stars, or it can form
       from the decay of a star. So, if the Earth and other planets
       were formed as planets with the Sun, they'd all be about 380
       million years old. If they formed as stars and decayed and were
       captured by the Sun, they could be much older than the Sun. Many
       Bible students think the Earth and the entire universe were made
       by God about 6,000 years ago. But some think it was only the
       biosphere that originated at that time, based on certain
       translations. The surface features of the Earth appear to have
       formed between 4 and 5 thousand years ago. The evidence will be
       discussed in section [1-2c]. Section [1-5] will cover Earth's
       Origin.

       __YOUNG EARTH REASONING
       [CC said: What is the reason for going with a "Young Earth"
       chronology?
       LK: The Earth may or may not be old; its surface seems to be
       young. Cataclysms seem to have occurred around 4,350 years ago,
       which reshaped the top two miles of the continents' sedimentary
       strata. The cataclysm/s involved meteor impacts, land movements
       & tsunamis.]
       =========================Postby Lloyd » Thu Dec 10, 2015 8:36 pm
       __YOUNG EARTH CRITICISMS
       - Young Earth vs Old Earth. Charles found a webpage that has a
       lot of arguments for Old Earth and against Young Earth. It's
       here:
  HTML http://www.asa3.org/ASA/education/origins/agescience2.htm.
       - Of course, those of us who consider only the surface of the
       Earth to be young, rather than the entire Earth, aren't bothered
       by some of the evidence. ...
       __- 3. CATASTROPHISM BEST EVIDENCE
       LK: What is the best physical evidence of Catastrophism?
       a. Berthault's findings on sedimentation?
       b. interbedding of lava and sedimentary rock in Washington etc?
       c. Fisher's findings of the large crater on the east side of
       Africa?
       - Can you name other evidence here that you think should be
       discussed?
       GW: Astroblemes associated with every major stratum, the strata
       themeselves, the absence of record for the 100-millions of years
       hiatuses
       __- 9. CATASTROPHISM WEAKEST POINTS
       LK: Where are the main gaps in Catastrophism theory?
       GW: Gaps in Catastrophic concepts. Our current epoch of relative
       geologic calm, cyclical seasons and climate were
       prescribed/predicted at the end of the flood event. Until people
       begin to recognize that our present case is a result and
       recovery from the cataclysm of old, the only thing that will
       convince them is the next global catastrophe. Perhaps even for
       some this is the lure of Anthropogenic Global Warming and its
       attendant catastrophes. So the "gap" is the the modern cultural
       mind. Along with this, the standard model indoctrination of
       radiometric dating, taught without reference or regard for the
       assumptions on which it is built, is a roadblock for many.
       "Hasn't science proven the world is 4.5 billions years old?" it
       will be commonly quipped.
       __- 10. PROMOTION
       LK: What are promising ways to get the theory of Catastrophism
       widely accepted?
       - What audiences might be best targeted?
       - Christians; Muslims; Jews; homeschool families; libertarians;
       Republicans; conservatives; private schools; specific places in
       social media; online conferences; online videos ...?
       GW: Catastrophism isn't a theory, or even a variety of theories,
       it is a paradigm. When you view the world around you, you see
       processes at work, weather, the water cycle, mountains
       uplifting, volcanism, the biosphere with its myriad varieties
       and variations. Does this world appear to you as stable,
       unchanging [or invisibly slowly changing], predictably cyclical?
       If so, then the pardigm of Uniformitarianism suits you well, and
       you readily learn to interpret the physical evidence in the
       framework of gradualism. Since the time of Lyell, Hutton, and
       Darwin, the social indoctrination in this perspective has been
       facilitated by the naturalistic approach of scientism which, by
       its appropriate self-limitation to the experimental study of
       repeatable processes has led many to the conclusion that all of
       the universe of space, time and matter, is predictable and
       formulaic. It is possible that this indoctrination is indelible
       [for some?]; there is a comfort to this boxing up of the cosmos,
       that makes it virtually impossible to break free to explore
       other options.
       - As open-minded to the evidence as most scientists claim to be,
       they generally fail to recognize that their worldview is
       enslaved to the modern materialistic and deterministic paradigm.
       I was trained in this perspective, and so it took me a number of
       years to be able to see the world as I do today. We are in a
       period of relatively unremarkable stability, punctuated however
       by occasional (and increasing, imo) catastrophic events. The
       physical record of the past Is full of evidence of widespread
       and repeated flood deposition, seismic activity, meteor impacts,
       and the like. These episodes are separated by imagined hiatal
       periods in which supposed long epochs of mountain building and
       subsequent erosion leave the earth's surface relatively flat.
       Without these alleged hiatuses, the record is one of cataclysm
       and catastrophe. In the "last days" we are told catastrophism
       will be mocked according to the biblical record (2 Peter). It is
       possible we are living in a representative social climate.
       People will continue to believe what they want to believe, until
       that belief system no longer suits them ... generations later
       perhaps history will record our time as the Era of Doubt,
       despite our ever increasing awareness of large-scale
       catastrophic processes.

       - 1. Before the Flood, Earth's atmosphere was dense, so many
       creatures grew to gigantic sizes
       - 2. Dinosaurs occupied most of the protocontinent while people
       and other animals lived in Mesopotamia or East Antarctica
       - 4. There was much sand and mud around the edges of the
       protocontinent and East Antarctica
       - 3. Then a long swarm of meteorites of all sizes struck the
       Moon and Earth for forty days, causing rain and loss of much
       atmosphere
       - 5. During the Flood tsunamis deposited sediment from the
       continental shelf onto the protocontinent
       - 6. As atmospheric pressure fell much calcium carbonate
       precipitated from the sea water, forming thick sedimentary rock
       with fossils
       - 7. "Paleozoic" creatures living near sea shores were buried
       first.
       - 8. "Mesozoic" creatures that could escape inland were buried
       second.
       - 10. Survivors of the Flood landed in Mesopotamia and spread
       out on the flat protocontinent
       - 11. There were only 360 days in a year before the Flood.
       - 9. After the Flood the Chicxulub meteorite hit Mexico,
       spreading iridium and shocked quartz over the protocontinent
       - 12. A giant meteorite impact north of what is now Madagascar
       divided the protocontinent into the continents and islands
       - 13. It raised all the mountain chains, and initiated global
       volcanism
       - 14. "Cenozoic" large mammals & others were buried and
       fossilized
       - 15. Much of the continental crust moved away from the equator
       and toward the poles
       - 16. Atmospheric moisture and volcanic and impact dust led to
       cooling and extensive rain and snow fall, glaciation
       - 17. Civilization was rebuilt such as along the newly formed
       Nile River
       - 18. Meteor impacts produced the dust on the Moon
       - My Comments. I found Chapman's Glacial Cataclysm at:
  HTML http://www.yumpu.com/en/document/view/31204066/glacial-cataclysm-chapmanresearch.<br
       />Do you know if that's the same? It seemed like it was
       attributing a lot of evidence for glaciation to the Great Flood
       or something. Why do you suggest that the cataclysms occurred
       11,500 BP and earlier? It seems that the Flood occurred almost
       4,400 BP.
       - In listing your points, I rearranged a couple of items. I put
       4 before 3 because 4 refers to the supercontinent situation
       before 3's meteor swarm arrived. And I put 9 after 10 and 11,
       because Chixulub occurred after the Great Flood in your model.
       - 1. Regarding #1, it may be worthwhile to explain that a dense
       atmosphere would have made dinosaurs and other megafauna much
       more buoyant, so their muscles would have been strong enough to
       move them around, and pterodachtyls would have been able to
       stand on their pencil-thin legs.
       - 2. Human footprints and fossils in dinosaur strata in the U.S.
       Southwest seem to indicate that humans lived among dinosaurs to
       some extent.
       - 4. I think shale makes up over 50% of sedimentary strata,
       sandstone 25% and limestone the rest. According to Noah’s Flood:

       Baumgardner & others) at

       />tsunamis 2,500 m high caused by tidal pulses could have produc
       ed
       enough cavitation along continental margins to produce all of
       the sediments needed. It suggests that the 5 megasequences of
       rock strata could have been deposited during monthly tidal
       pulses between the 6 unconformities bordering the megasequences.
       Snelling, on the other hand, seems to agree with your idea of
       sand and mud coming up from the seafloor via smaller tsunamis, I
       guess. But I presume both processes would have been involved.
       - 3. Gordon says the Hebrew word, "matar", probably meant
       "meteors" and they occurred during the entire 5 months of the
       Great Flood. This reminded me of the part of the Saturn Theory
       that says Earth was a satellite of Saturn and it drifted away
       from Saturn and then crossed the Asteroid belt before arriving
       at its present orbit. I thought maybe the 5 month meteor
       bombardment may have occurred when Earth crossed the Asteroid
       belt. I thought that might be when the Ice Age occurred, when
       Earth moved from the Asteroid belt to within the orbit of Mars.
       Before that its atmosphere may have been thick enough to prevent
       much cooling. However, it looks like the Ice Age had to occur
       some time after the Great Flood, as you say. There seems to be
       something to the Saturn Theory, because the ancients said Saturn
       was the god at the north pole, the pole star, and that Saturn
       was the first Sun etc.
       - 5. seems probable re sedimentation; plus my comments on #4.
       - 6. seems probable re lime from seawater; I didn't know that,
       but Gordon may have been aware of that.
       - 7&8. seem probable re sequence of "Paleozoic" & "Mesozoic"
       creatures' burials.
       - 10. seems possible re Survivors landing in Mesopotamia. Saturn
       Theory says a lot of phenomena in ancient myths were celestial
       events, rather than terrestrial. There were plasma phenomena
       seen in the sky that looked like people and animals etc. So it's
       hard to tell if Noah's ark was celestial or also terrestrial.
       - 11. seems possible re 360 days in a year before the Flood.
       That doesn't seem important as yet, but it could be.
       - 9. seems possible re Chicxulub meteorite hitting after the
       Flood. I'd like to know more of your evidence for that.
       - 12. seems very probable re SD impact and rapid continental
       drift. Maybe you need a video to address the issue of why the
       popular Creationist theory of rapid CD is inferior to the SD
       model. I guess you might have to suppress your idea of the Great
       Flood occurring before 11,500 BP in order to get Creationists to
       consider your model.
       - 13. seems probable re SD causing mountain uplift and
       volcanism, but I thought that all occurred during the Great
       Flood, because the sediments would have been soft, so the strata
       could fold without breaking, as seen in many mountain strata. If
       the mountain uplift happened long after the Great Flood, would
       the strata still have been soft? Or do you think the strata were
       softened by heating during the SD event? If so, do you have much
       evidence for that? I bet Gordon would know something about that.
       - 14. seems plausible re "Cenozoic" animals fossilized during
       the SD event in crumbly strata.
       - 15. seems probable re SD pushing some continents toward the
       poles.
       - 16. seems probable re evaporation & glaciation. Gordon says
       secondary erosion and sedimentation occurred after mountain
       uplift.
       - 17. seems probable re civilization rebuilding along the Nile
       etc, but much later, i.e. ca. 4,300 BP.
       - 18. seems probable re meteor impacts making the dust on the
       Moon.
       - Regarding Ice Age Mammals. I think you should briefly explain
       how you differ from Oard. He seems to say that the Arctic Ocean
       kept the nearby surrounding land warm for a few centuries,
       during which the animals got trapped there as the climate
       gradually got colder, whereas you seem to say that all of the
       lands were warmer until the SD event, which moved some of the
       land north into freezing conditions, and the animals succumbed
       right away instead of gradually.
       - You said, "If we use the elephant life-cycle as a model, a 13
       year doubling rate (starting with 2 mammoths) would produce a
       population at least as large as that which was buried." Did you
       show the figures anywhere? I think it's worth showing them. 300
       years / 13 years/generation = 23 generations. 2^23 > 8 million.
       - Regarding Tektites. You call it the largest strewnfield
       (covering the Indian Ocean to Australia), but doesn't that refer
       to the present size of it? When the tektites fell (before India,
       Southeast Asia, Australia etc moved away from Africa), the field
       would have been much smaller. Shouldn't you mention that?
       - The Mechanism of Impacts. Here are some of Charles'
       discussions on impacts etc:
  HTML http://qdl.scs-inc.us/?top=4741-4760-5079-9454-10997-12982-10607-10753-10962.<br
       />He says impacts are usually thermonuclear explosions. He did d
       o
       a paper on meteoric air bursts at
  HTML http://qdl.scs-inc.us/?top=7662.
       He and Gordon consider 26 hours
       way too short a time for the continents to have moved to near
       their present locations. What convinced you that the continents
       took only 26 hours to complete their journeys, instead of a
       longer period of time? It makes sense to me because of the great
       reduction in friction that you explain. Actually, there may have
       been even less friction, since the Moho layer is likely plasma,
       so the movements would have been like maglev with the continents
       levitating on the Moho. One of Charles' papers explains why the
       Moho is likely plasma, only about a meter thick.
       - Your model says the Shock Dynamics meteor came in at about a
       30 degree angle (going from west to east over Africa and landing
       north of Madagascar). Normally, one would think that the
       momentum would be transferred only in the forward direction to
       the pieces that became India, southeast Asia, Australia and New
       Zealand. But Charles' model explains why the momentum would be
       transferred in all horizontal directions. It's because the
       impact produced a thermonuclear explosion. He explains that all
       that's needed for such an explosion is extreme heat and extreme
       pressure, both of which a fast moving meteor provides. So I
       think readers may be able to understand that better (momentum
       transferred west toward Africa and the Americas as well as to
       the north and east) if it's compared to throwing a hand grenade
       or other kind of bomb.
       - Supercontinent Breakup. I think it would help if your model
       could explain why the Americas broke away from Africa and
       Europe, instead of at least Africa moving westward as well. I
       think Gordon suspects that a tidal force from another large body
       weakened the supercontinent along that rift line. Charles thinks
       the supercontinent was possibly torn off of the Moon long ago,
       because of the similarity in rock composition between the
       supercontinent and the Moon. So I thought maybe ocean water may
       have gotten trapped under the supercontinent, which could have
       weakened the crust in a way similar to Walter Brown's Hydroplate
       model. I admit, however, that it doesn't seem probable that much
       water should have gotten trapped, since a ball shape meeting
       another ball shape should move almost all fluids to the side.
       Eurasia didn't break apart, so why did Africa and the Americas?
       What would most likely have weakened the crust there between
       them?

       prior to that time by immeasurable years.

       - NO C-14 IN COAL
       -C-14 dating is generally accurate to within 150 years, or up to
       250 years.
       -Most results are rendered invalid by absorption, leaching,
       cosmic radiation, and a proven varied rate of decay.
       -Balloon soundings show that much more C-14 is still being
       formed than is decaying. This could be so only if the process
       had BEGUN RECENTLY. Dr. Cook calculates an age for our
       atmosphere of no more than 10,000 years.
       -REASON FOR DISCREPANCIES: A PAST COSMIC DISASTER
       -Plants and animals did not absorb any radiocarbon 14 before the
       Disaster, Because the band of moisture filtered the rays out
       before they ever reached the nitrogen in the earth’s atmosphere.
       That’s why scientists found no C14 in the coal.

       - Henry Faul admits: MOST of the ages obtained by the
       lead/thorium method DISAGREE with the ages of the same minerals
       computed by other lead methods (Henry Faul, Nuclear Geology).
       Age estimates on a given geological stratum by different
       radiometric methods are often quite different. A skeleton from
       California was estimated at 70,000 years old (by partic acid
       racemization) (World Archaeology, vol.7, 1975, p.160). In 1981
       this age was revised to 8,300 to 9,000 years (by uranium dating)
       (Science, vol.213, 28 August, 1981, p.1003). In 1983 samples of
       the same skeleton were dated at 3,500 to 5,000 years (by
       radiocarbon dating) (Science, vol.220, 17 June, 1983, p.1271).
       - In eight separate tests, scientists dated samples of rock –
       and arrived at ages of 160 million to 3 billion years. These
       specimens, from Kaupelehu, Hualalai Volcano, Hawaii, were later
       found to have formed in a lava flow only 168 years earlier, in
       1801. (Science, vol.162, p.265. Journal of Geophysical Research,
       vol.73, p.4601. American Journal of Science, vol.262, p.154).
       - Muscle tissue from beneath the scalp of a mummified musk ox in
       Fairbanks Creek, Alaska, was dated at 24,000 years; hair from a
       hind limb of the same animal was dated at 7,200 years.
       - [Ice cores] In 1942, during World War II, some war planes
       landed in Greenland. In 1990, they were found covered by 263
       feet of ice in 48 years! 263 feet divided by 48 years is ice
       growth of about 5.5 feet per year. Divide 10,000 feet by 5.5 and
       it's 1,824 years for ALL of the ice to build up.
       Note: those planes did not sink into the ice, due to pressure on
       the ice. The ice had grown OVER them.

       Dr. Steven Austin, a creationist and PhD geologist, collected

       Question on C14 Dating for Webb

       which Nick
       discussed, says on pp. 214-5
       "However, the strongest evidence from radiocarbon testing to
       support man being in the New World also came [from] Pedra
       Furada. Charcoal from the deepest fireplace in the strata gave
       dates of 3,700 ± 830 years and 32,160 ± 1,000 years.
       Furthermore, an entire series of radiocarbon dates consistently
       became older as the researchers dug deeper into the site, going
       from 6,160, 7,750, 7,640, 8,050, 8,450, 11,000, 17,000, 21,400,

       769-771.
       - I'm assuming that all of those datings are incorrect and that
       the sediments were all deposited about the same time probably
       after the Great Flood. But I also assume that the carbon-14
       ratios may vary with depth. Or is that untrue? Here's another
       quote from the book on p. 213.
       "As Dr. Roger Wescott told me when I spoke with him by telephone
       about this on April 17, 1997, radiocarbon always gives a
       scattered set of dates. The theorists then pick the ones that
       they believe to be correct."
       - Do you know if any objective tests have been done to see if
       the ratios do change with depth? Or is it more likely that the
       ratios are fairly random and that scientists just pick the dates
       they like from the "scattered set of dates" that the testing
       produces? If the ratios really do change with depth, then we'd
       need to determine why that is, but if they're actually rather
       random, then we'd need to find proof of this randomness. Eh?

       __C14 DATING
       Archaeologically, C14 should logically show greater ages as you
       go deeper in a dig. But I have proposed that prior to the deluge
       the atmospheric structure prevented the mixing of C14 from the
       upper atmosphere where it is produced to the biosphere where it
       is incorporated into living systems. So the influx of C14 after
       the deluge would result in rapidly "decreasing" age results as
       you date objects further past the end of the deluge. The
       uniformitarian assumptions behind standard radiocarbon dating
       yield might a result of 30,000 BP based on the low C14 count
       where I would propose ~6000 or so BP.

       __CATACLYSM DATING
       - Gordon, do you know why the Younger Dryas is conventionally
       dated at about 12,000 years ago? Do you think it should be dated
       after the Great Flood, about 4,200 years ago? If so, what is
       some of the best evidence for that? In some of the first posts
       on this thread I listed some of Jonathan Gray's reasons for
       dating the Flood to 4,300 some years ago. I'd like to be able to
       persuade Mike Fischer to change his timeline, if there's better
       evidence than what I've seen so far.

       - Timelines will always be conjectural and controversial. I'm
       good with standard C14 12,000BP correlating to an adjusted
       ~6000?BP date based on the influx of C14 into the troposphere as
       a result of the atmospheric collapse associated with the flood
       event(s). Dates associated with animals that survived the flood
       event might yield in the neighborhood of 50,000+BP due to the
       negligible amount of C14 they ingested. Subsequent generations
       might yield dates in exponentially decreasing years down to a
       relatively reliable correlation with actual dates in the ~5000BP
       ranges +/- 700 yr uncertainty because of
       equilibrium/non-equilibrium assumptions. Fossils buried deeper
       in the strata should show virtually no C14 because the pre-flood
       atmosphere was free of it. Purely conjectural here.
