Incompatibility of Geology with YEC

You have an interesting habit, Faith, of stating something in denial as if it were fact, then admitting at once that you don't know what you are talking about.

You left out one of my favorite examples geology Faith can't explain, the Hawaiian Islands. Only one "hot spot" and several islands, with the islands getting older and more eroded the further away they are from the hot spot. I would like to see Faith explain that!

A demonstration that “deep age” is more than an ideological construct of mainstream geology can be found for example in basin modeling [3], a set of methods which is used by the oil industry for oil exploration. The problem is to get an adequate understanding of the potential of an assumed oil field with sparse input data - for example by drill holes or seismic measurements. That’s a bit like a puzzle: We have only some pieces at hand and try to guess the whole picture. But there is at least one important difference to solving a puzzle: a geological model does not simply generate a way to connect the dots, it tries to reconstruct the development of a sedimentary basin based on well known and quantifiable processes like conductive cooling, erosion, tectonic uplift, which in most cases require geological time spans.An example would be the modeling of the thermal history of a basin, which covers the "magnitude of maximum paleotemperatures in individual samples", "the timing of cooling from maximum paleotemperatures" and the "style of timing" to name only the most important aspects. This information is used to determine the thermal maturity for source rocks - that are rocks which (possibly) generate petroleum - when direct measurements are not available. Maturation is the process whereby hydrocarbon is formed from kerogen. This important change occurs only when kerogen is subjected to high temperature over long periods of time. A simple way to model this behavior is to calculate a measure called TTI, the time-temperature index. It uses a time factor, which is the time interval for a certain temperature (in millions of years) and a temperature factor which increases exponential, by a factor of 2 for every 10?C. By multiplying both factors one obtains a dimensionless number, the interval TTI, which represents the maturity acquired by the rock at given time interval and temperature. The total TTI is calculated by summing up incremental maturity values which when calculated over the whole time span gives a good measure for the overall maturity of the source rock. (see [4])Maturity in combination with type and amount of the organic material present in a source rock (measured as TOC) gives a good indication whether drilling is recommendable or not. (see [5])

Faith writes: As usual I judge the OE factor from my KNOWLEDGE that God's word is true

As for creationists working in the oil industry, I'm sure they follow the script like anyone else and the formulas somehow or other work well enough for the purpose though probably not the way they are thought to work.

As for creationists working in the oil industry, I'm sure they follow the script like anyone else and the formulas somehow or other work well enough for the purpose though probably not the way they are thought to work. What you and I are discussing is theory, so you can leave creationists working in the field out of it -- if you care to be fair that is.

Prove it. You've asserted that YECs don't stay YECs long, prove it. So far there is an example of ONE.

I know of YEC geologists who work AS geologists along with other geologists and are still YECs.
