"Six Thousand Years with Ken Ham"

A year ago when I had about four hours in the Creation Museum, I heard a free lunchtime lecture with Dr. Mortenson on the deists and atheists who started deep time during the Enlightenment (although it was part of Greek thinking and before them part of Hinduism).

At the end of his lecture, he said something like that some of us looked tired and that we should get some rest.

The history of geology is so complicated and outlandish that my little year of mining school geology is of little help. I decided to rest in YEC because I believe that God destroyed all life except Noah and seven others and two of each kind of the animals 4300 years ago. And so there I am resting. The Greens who own Hobby Lobby and who built the museum of the Bible in DC have given much to Answers in Genesis in Kentucky. Forty thousand families donated to begin the Ark construction, which cost over one hundred million. The Ark is as big as an ocean liner. Attendance has been about a million each year, maybe more.

 

The dating methods are not scientific because there is no proof of radioactive rates in the past among other problems for deep time.

 

The problem is that no one can prove that the rate of decay is uniform.

As for the oceans, I thought everyone agreed that the paucity of sediments at the bottom suggested recent upheavel?

 

People have been asking that question for millions and millions of tears.

 

What is the basis for the idea that radioactivity decay rate is uniform? I don't think that it is. Evolutionists who believe in uniformitarianism have come up with that idea. There is no chain of custody of rocks from Adam's time six thousand years ago. Samples from Mt. St. Helens that were only days old showed up on the labs as millions of years old.

The entire earth suffered an upheavel during Noah's Flood. This alone contradicts uniformitarianism. The floors of the current oceans are new. Yet the sediments at the bottom of the oceans are consistent with a global flood of 4300 years ago. Before the global flood, the earth was mostly one continent. Now there are seven if you count Antarctica.

 

I have seen some video of Simon Turpin, who works for AiG in the UK. The Seven Cs are explained in both the Creation Museum and Noah's Ark, if memory serves.

Here is a video from AiG of the subject:

7 C’s of History

 

Not exactly true. The preponderance of evidence supports YEC. Whatever areas of concern that you have, there are lots of articles online. Search not only AiG but also Creation.com and http://www.icr.org/homepage/

 

Here is a discussion by Dr. Steve Austin, a field research geologist with a Ph.D. from Penn State University in sedimentary geology. He is “Senior Research Scientist” with Institute for Creation Research in Dallas, Texas. The video is in two parts:

Radioisotopes and the Age of the Earth

Also, he has a recent article about helium "Helium Diffusion Rates Support Accelerated Nuclear Decay"

Helium Diffusion Rates Support Accelerated Nuclear Decay

 

That analogy does not compute. The YEC trace back to 150 AD and Sextus Julius Africanus and prevailed until the Enlightenment which prevailed only until Whitcomb and Morris in 1961. It has nothing to do with ritual.
