Suppose your son has a serious case of bone cancer. Would you trust a Young Scientist to treat your child? That is, would you trust Doogie Howser (14 yo)?

Would you listen to a Young Earth Scientist #YES who
shares evidence for a youthful world? I
have written two books on that account:
Is a Young Earth Possible? - How Science and History
Point to a Youthful World and Why it Matters

Catastrophism (most rocks formed fast) is a key pillar in the case for a #YoungPlanet ... Immanuel Velikovsky (Иммануи́л Велико́вский) brought #Catastrophism #CAT into larger public awareness with such works as Worlds in Collision (1950) and Earth in Upheaval (1955):

In 2015, Charles Ginenthal came out with Newton,
Einstein, and Velikovsky which deals with the instability of the Solar System
and challenges mainstream dating methods:

Einstein (d. 1955) and Velikovsky (d. 1979) corresponded
with each other from 1946 to 1955:

What started the #OldEarth fad? Rejecting #CAT ... we read this from the New International Encyclopedia (1915):
Geological work is so slow,
and the evidence of vast changes in the past, so clear, that, so long as it was
held that the age of the earth was to be reckoned in a period of a few thousand
years, no other conclusion was possible than that the changes observed had been
rapidly made as a result of stupendous
catastrophes. ... however, it was made clear by Hutton and his
successors that the recorded facts indicates slow changes, it began to appear
possible that the age of the earth was great [millions of years]. The promulgation of the doctrine of
evolution, and the increased knowledge of past life, as recorded by the
fossils, brought further evidence of the great age of the earth. [1]
What can we say about prejudice against #CAT ? According to Michael Rampino (Biology Prof,
NYU),
In 1831, the Scottish
horticulturalist Patrick Matthew (1790-1874) published a clear statement of the
law of natural selection ... which both Darwin and Wallace later acknowledged.
Matthew, however, was a catastrophist, and he presented natural selection
within the contemporary view that relatively long intervals of environmental
stability [and biological stasis ?] were episodically punctuated by
catastrophic mass extinctions of life. https://nyuscholars.nyu.edu/en/publications/darwins-error-patrick-matthew-and-the-catastrophic-nature-of-the-

Derek Victor Ager, former President of the British
Geological Association, published The New Catastrophism - The Importance of the
Rare Event in Geological History in 1995:
Is a Global Flood, as described by the hundreds of
#FloodLegends from around the world, really a thing? Marilyn "super smart" vos Savant
(see the graphic) said that if you flatten out the Earth, the oceans would
cover the land to a depth of 8810' (1⅔ miles). [2]

One primary figure in the "No Young Earth" Movement was the late Ron Numbers (d. 2023). I had the opportunity to hear his story in a small group @ OU's History of Science Department in the early 1990's. Although raised Adventist, Dr. Numbers spurned Deluge Theory:
I vividly remember the
evening I attended an illustrated lecture on the famous sequence of fossil
forests in Yellowstone National Park and then stayed up most of the night …
agonizing over, then accepting, the disturbing likelihood that the earth was at
least thirty thousand years old. Having thus decided to follow science rather
than Scripture on the subject of origins, I quickly, though not painlessly,
slid down the proverbial slippery slope toward unbelief.

It is now widely recognized that the Yellowstone
"fossil forests" - 27 layers @
Specimen Ridge & around 50 layers @ Specimen Creek - were formed
catastrophically. Dr Michael Arct
studied the tree ring "fingerprints" of over a dozen trees in
different levels and found that they all died around the same time which is
consistent with rapid formation of the ash deposits.

Dr. Numbers should have changed his mind !!
The eruption of Mt. St. Helens (1980) #MSH is a clear
parallel to Yellowstone:

In 1962, Henry Morris (Genesis Flood, 1961) spoke to the Houston Geological Society and gave a presentation on #Catastrophism #CAT
https://www.galaxie.com/article/gj04-2-02
Dr. Morris spoke to a crowd of 500 folks and during the
Q&A time there was dead silence!
According to one observer, the audience was "too stunned to
speak!" [3]
Interview with David Kitts - my History of Science Prof:
%20-%20Christmas.jpg)
In spite of all this, they kept on sinning;
in spite of his
wonders, they did not believe.
So he ended their days in futility
and their years
in terror.
Whenever God slew them, they would seek him;
they eagerly
turned to him again.
They remembered that God was their Rock,
that God Most
High was their Redeemer. (Ps. 78:32-35)
