HTML http://creation.com/world-s-oldest-salt-lake-only-a-few-thousand-years-old
The amount of salt in the world's oldest lake contradicts its
supposed age and suggests an age more consistent with its
formation after Noah's Flood, which is consistent with a young
age of the earth.

The recent and almost simultaneous origin of all the high
mountain ranges around the world—including the Himalayas, the
Alps, the Andes, and the Rockies—which have undergone most of
the uplift to their present elevations beginning 'five million'
years ago, whereas mountain building processes have supposedly
been around for up to billions of years. See Baumgardner, J.,
Recent uplift of today's mountains. Impact 381, March 2005.

Erosion rates at places like Niagara Falls are consistent with a
time frame of several thousand years since Noah's Flood.

HTML http://creation.com/niagara-falls-and-the-bible
Erosion at Niagara Falls and other such places is consistent
with just a few thousand years since the biblical Flood.
However, much of the Niagara Gorge likely formed very rapidly
with the catastrophic drainage of glacial Lake Agassiz; see:
Climate change, Niagara and catastrophe.
- River delta growth rate is consistent with thousands of years
since the biblical Flood, not vast periods of time. The argument
goes back to Mark Twain. E.g. 1. Mississippi—Creation Research
Quarterly (CRSQ) 9:96–114, 1992; CRSQ 14:77; CRSQ 25:121–123.

Underfit streams. River valleys are too large for the streams
they contain. Dury speaks of the "continent-wide distribution of
underfit streams". Using channel meander characteristics, Dury
concluded that past streams frequently had 20–60 times their
current discharge. This means that the river valleys would have
been carved very quickly, not slowly over eons of time. See
Austin, S.A., Did landscapes evolve? Impact 118, 1983.

HTML http://creation.com/salty-seas-evidence-for-a-young-earth
Amount of salt in the sea. Even ignoring the effect of the
biblical Flood and assuming zero starting salinity and all rates
of input and removal so as to maximize the time taken to
accumulate all the salt, the maximum age of the oceans, 62
million years, is less than 1/50 of the age evolutionists claim
for the oceans. This suggests that the age of the earth is
radically less also.

HTML http://creation.com/evidence-for-a-young-world
The amount of sediment on the sea floors at current rates of
land erosion would accumulate in just 12 million years; a blink
of the eye compared to the supposed age of much of the ocean
floor of up to 3 billion years. Furthermore, long-age geologists
reckon that higher erosion rates applied in the past, which
shortens the time frame. From a biblical point of view, at the
end of Noah's Flood lots of sediment would have been added to
the sea with the water coming off the unconsolidated land,
making the amount of sediment perfectly consistent with a
history of thousands of years.

The age of placer deposits (concentrations of heavy metals such
as tin in modern sediments and consolidated sedimentary rocks).
The measured rates of deposition indicate an age of thousands of
years, not the assumed millions. See Lalomov, A.V., and

placer, Val'cumey, northern Siberia. Journal of Creation (TJ)

- Pressure in oil / gas wells indicate the recent origin of the
oil and gas. If they were many millions of years old we would
expect the pressures to equilibrate, even in low permeability
rocks. "Experts in petroleum prospecting note the impossibility
of creating an effective model given long and slow oil
generation over millions of years (Petukhov, 2004). In their
opinion, if models demand the standard multimillion-years
geochronological scale, the best exploration strategy is to
drill wells on a random grid." —Lalomov, A.V., 2007. Mineral
deposits as an example of geological rates. CRSQ 44(1):64–66.

The decay of the earth's magnetic field. Exponential decay is
evident from measurements and is consistent with theory of free

Actually no, not permineralization in the conventional sense of
long slow replacement of minerals into cellular tissue.
The "infusion" I was speaking of was the abiotic infusion of
methane into sediments containing the plant and other materials
causing a more rapid "transmutation" as it were of carbohydrates
into hydrocarbons. The "glassy" appearance of petrified wood,
however, is belied by the FACT that microscopic cellular
structures are often preserved in the fossilized wood. The
better describer of these woods is "opal" [quartz included with
water]. This can be done in hours in the lab, and hot
silica-saturated water in a matrix of clay is the main agent.
The stuff I've collected over in Frenchmen Hills in E.
Washington has many structures well detailed in cross-sections,
including "separated" pithy materials that come out almost like
toothpicks. Anyway, I'm open to electrification as a heat
source, but still in wondering mode about the mechanisms of
direct electrical transmutation.

* Well, I'm still working on comparing fresh bones with fossil
bones.
HTML http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/dinosaurs/dinofossils/Fossilhow.html
- * The fossil has the same shape as the original object,
but is chemically more like a rock! Some of the original
hydroxy-apatite (a major bone consitiuent) remains, although it
is saturated with silica (rock).
* There are six ways that organisms can turn into fossils,
including:
-1* unaltered preservation (like insects or plant parts
trapped in amber, a hardened form of tree sap)
-2* permineralization=petrification (in which rock-like
minerals seep in slowly and replace the original organic tissues
with silica, calcite or pyrite, forming a rock-like fossil - can
preserve hard and soft parts - most bone and wood fossils are
permineralized)
-3* replacement (An organism's hard parts dissolve and are
replaced by other minerals, like calcite, silica, pyrite, or
iron)
-4* carbonization=coalification (in which only the carbon
remains in the specimen - other elements, like hydrogen, oxygen,
and nitrogen are removed)
-5* recrystalization (hard parts either revert to more
stable minerals or small crystals turn into larger crystals)
-6* authigenic preservation (molds and casts of organisms
that have been destroyed or dissolved).
- * This, however, is another possible means of fossilization in
a short time.

- After some experimentation, the researchers found a way to
overcome a dead bird's buoyancy. When a carcass was dropped onto
moist sediments that contained clay, the material soaked into
the bird's feathers and bound the body to the mud in just a few
minutes. Later, when water was added to the tank, the
stuck-in-the-mud carcass remained submerged. 5
* Taking their work even further, Krauss and his team added
enough sediment to the tanks to bury the submerged carcasses.
Then, they placed weights on the mud to increase the pressure,
as a naturally buried body would experience if accumulating lake
sediments gradually covered it. The team left the bodies in
place for 3 years.
* When the researchers unearthed their samples, they found
that the patterns and extent of preservation of the faux-fossil
birds were remarkably similar to those seen in actual fossils
millions of years old. This resemblance suggests that the
remains of ancient birds might have begun their process of
fossilization in just such a way, Krauss notes. The team's
findings may enable scientists to better interpret fossils and
deduce the environments in which they formed, he adds. 6
* You’ve probably read creationist claims of hats or fence
posts that fossilized in just a few years. Creationists
generally claim that the proper conditions, not long periods of
time, are all that are needed for fossilization. That’s what
Briggs’ experiment showed. Briggs doesn’t know exactly what the
proper conditions are, but some eggs mineralized, and some
didn’t, despite being buried for the same amount of time.
Furthermore, the durations of the tests were very short,
geologically speaking. It took just weeks or months for the
process to begin. If they had more patience, they would have
seen more mineralization (in those situations where the
conditions were favorable).
- * This is just kind of interesting.

- * Some clamshell fossils contain up to a hundred fish
fossils inside.

* In my recent message I said I found that for fresh bones the
Total bone composition is: 45% O, 15% H, 15% Ca, 13% C, 9% P
* In the last message I quoted a statement on fossil bone
contents as either: calcite [crystallized calcium carbonate
CaCO3], silica [SiO2], pyrite [iron disulfide FeS2], or iron.
* Here's a side-by-side comparison [1st column is fresh bone
contents]:
O Ca C H P ........ bones
O Ca C Si S Fe .... fossils
* This shows that calcium sometimes remains as calcium;
P+H or O+O may combine by transmutation to form S, part of
pyrite;
O+C may likewise combine to form Si, part of silica;
Si+4Li or 2Si-2H may form Fe, part of pyrite.
* So the existing contents of fresh bone can supply the elements
found in fossil bones.
