I was just reviewing my message 48 (above), and I went back to the source topic from which I had quoted Buzsaw.

I (re)discovered Zephyr's reply to that very quote:

quote:
quote:
It seems that the complete column should be prevelant all over with deviations here and there the exceptions.
I saw a really good answer here, which I can't locate, so I'll paraphrase. (Apologies to the author, feel free to identify yourself and/or clarify) The older the earth is, the more likely that sections of the column will be missing in some places, because of long-term erosion or other effects. A young earth with rapidly formed strata would likely have a complete column in most or all areas; therefore, the complicated geologic record with its myriad distinct catastrophes and discontinuities, verifies that our world has been around a long time and subject to many long-term variations in environment.

Zephyr also goes on to say more.

Moose, in message 1 writes:

Now, obviously, God didn't plant the various land life forms onto a barren slab of rock. As such, God did create a "prepared" earth, ie one with at least some appearance of age.

So the big question is, IN THE BEGINNING, when God first created the earth, what was the nature of the earth's geology? Did it appear that a lot of time and natural processes had already happened?

Re: Our Perception of Geological Time

2) OEC and YEC are interchangeable depending on cosmic perspectives, God and man.

Maybe it is a "young" creation from God's perspective, but from the perspective mainstream science sees, the Earth is old. Are the YEC's looking at it from God's perspective or from science's perspective?

5) The geo-column has undergone effects of time in a mysterious manner we perceive little about.

You may perceive little about it, but such is not the case for the geologists that actually study the rocks. The Earth's geology is the result of a vast sequence of understandable processes and events.

Bump - The Omphalos Argument / Last Thursdayism

In the context of the People Don't Know What Creation Science Is topic, Omphaloism has come up, including this rather nice message from Dwise.

So I thought I'd try reactivating this topic.
