9) ABSENCE OF METEORITES IN THE GEOLOGIC COLUMN
?Thousands of asteroids and chunks of meteoric matter circle the sun, and many have plunged to the surface of the moon and the Earth. If the Earth is billions of years old, as evolutionists claim, where are the thousands of impacts one would expect to find in the geological layers of the Earth??
?--No meteorites have ever been found in the geologic column, except in the top layer of strata.?

Certainly Karl, but realize I am no expert in geology. I merely 'stumbled' into these 'evidences' which seem to support the creationist's hypothesis per se of the global flood (their creation/curse/restoration model) which greatly sooths my 'faith' in the biblical gospel.

If your faith hinges on the accuracy of creationist web sites you have a rough journey ahead.

Please don't expect me to debate much about the quotes I just gave, unless something seems really suspect, scientifically.

Thanks,

I look forward to your data observations.

They are ALL suspect scientifically, but I will let the geologists take care of addressing the other issues.Here are some references for fossil meteorites:Schmitz B, Tassinari M, Peucker-Ehrenbrink B

GEOTIMES 41 (10): 14-14 OCT 1996-------------------The statement that no fossil metoerites have been found is at best lazy ignorance, 2 minutes with a web browser will tell you that, and at worst an outright lie. Are these the people you trust?
