Darwin, Deep Time fallacies and Young Earth Theory Intelligence (#YETI)

Is Deep Time a thing?  Did this planet come about thousands of years ago or millions and billions of years ago?  Gerald "Jerry" Wasserburg (d. 2016) was the John D. MacArthur Professor of Geology and Geophysics at CalTech.  He received the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society and published work in the fields of Geophysics, Astronomy, Geology, Astrophysics and Chemistry.  One of his academic advisors was Harold Urey of the famous Origin-Of-Life (#OOL) experiment.  Dr. Wasserburg said, "There are no bad chronometers, only bad interpretations of them!" [1]

In some cases we don't just have bad chronometers, the radiometric methods don't give us an answer at all!  From the field guide for the geology near Townsville, Queensland, Australia we learn,

Concerning the basement volcanic rocks in the area, the guidebook says, "Their exact age remains uncertain."  About Frederick Peak, a rhyolite ring dyke in the area, it says, "Their age of emplacement is not certain."  And for Castle Hill, a prominent feature in the city of Townsville, the guidebook says, "The age of the granite is unconfirmed."

In the sixth edition of Origin of Species, Darwin himself acknowledged a relatively young earth (#YETI anyone?):

Sir W. Thompson [Lord Kelvin] concludes that the consolidation of the crust can hardly have occurred less than 20 or more than 400 million years ago, but probably not less than 98 or more than 200 million years.  These very wide limits show how doubtful the data are ... It is, however, probable, as Sir William Thompson insists, that the world at a very early period was subjected to more rapid and violent changes in its physical conditions than those now occurring; and such changes would have tended to induce changes at a corresponding rate in the organisms which then existed.

Isn't that convenient, if our world is truly young, just speed up evolution!  I have a novel idea, since the scientific and historical evidence overwhelmingly favor a young planet, how about dropping Darwinism completely?  I present the documentation for a young planet in my latest book Is a Young WorldPossible?  The tide is turning, Young Earth Science Intelligence (YETI) is gaining ground. 

The site for the famous Evolution series that was broadcast on PBS about twenty years ago says this: "Humans share a common ancestor with modern African apes, like gorillas and chimpanzees.  Scientists believe this common ancestor existed 5 to 8 million years ago."  Now if our planet is just 20M by Kelvin's reasoned guess, the time since the ape-man progenitor emerged takes up about one third of earth history!  Even 98M is nowhere near the time that Darwin's speculations require.

John Joly, Chair of Geology and Mineralogy at Trinity College – Dublin, pioneered radiation therapy as well as radiometric dating.  Due to inconsistent results he eventually came to reject finding the age of rocks via radiodating.[2]  He gave a date for the age of our planet of about 90M years based on the amount of salt in the ocean.[3]  Joly even argued that radioactive decay had proceeded faster in the past than at present.[4]

Please consider giving a copy of Is a Young Earth Possible? to your friends and family and coworkers (birthdays, Christmas etc.).  The age-of-the-earth controversy relates to a number of key issues in the public square such as climate change, homeschooling, government funding of science, bullying, depression, fake news, net censorship and free speech.  View our newly updated website here.

Origins and the Smithsonian

The Smithsonian is a great place to visit & they have a super magazine!  I grew up in Northern Virginia and went to the museum several times - that's where I saw my 1st moon rock.

They have an article on their site "What Does it Mean to be Human?" that could be greatly improved.  The source is ...

Human Origins Initiative, Broader Social Impacts Committee

Co-chairs: Dr. Connie Bertka and Dr. Jim Miller

Apparently, Bertka & Miller have not read my book YES - Young Earth Science where I argue from history and science for a youthful world and show the flaws of Darwinism (TotalYouth.us).  They totally miss the distinction between historical science and observational science.  They speak of faraway planets ...

Sometimes such observations are direct, like measuring the chemical composition of a rock.  Other times these observations are indirect, like determining the presence of an exoplanet through the wobble of its host star. 

At this point we have neither a time machine nor a History Observation Device (HOD).  So its a great speculation when is comes to Frogs-to-Firemen transformation.  We cannot directly experiment on the alleged evolution of the past.

Bertka & Miller also fail to catch the the full philosophical aspect, but do speak of
 Analytic and synthetic reasoning 

Einstein said this ...

A knowledge of the historic and philosophical background gives that kind of independence from prejudices of his generation from which most scientists are suffering. This independence created by philosophical insight is—in my opinion—the mark of distinction between a mere artisan or specialist and a real seeker after truth.

Berka & Miller completely overlook the Christian foundation of science.

What does it mean to be human?  Alfred Russel Wallace came up with evolution by natural selection before Darwin, according to many.  Wallace held that humans were unique and not related to lower primates.  Human consciousness, morality, walking upright, the human hand, speech and higher intelligence were some of his reasons. [1]

Berka & Miller focus on ...
 Judaism, Christianity, Islam ... But they fail to bring out a key point.  At the end of 2018, the traditional Jewish calendar put the age of the world at 5779 years.  The date from Ussher (not the musician ♫) of 4004 BC for the beginning has been printed in Bibles for hundreds of years.  Islamic tradition states that there is a thousand years between Adam & Noah. [2]  This is consistent with the young earth view.

Berka & Miller speak of ...
historical traditions  ... but do not mention such records that favor a young world.  Robert Kovach wrote Early Earthquakes of the Americas (Cambridge University Press) and investigated Meso-American cultures such as the Aztecs, Incas, Toltecs and Mayans.  Fernando de Alva Cortés Ixtlilxóchitl who died in 1648 was the great-great-grandson of an Aztec ruler and recorded the traditions of ancient Mexican Culture.  Using the beginning of the Toltec era as a starting point, Kovach estimates the beginning of earth to around 3566 BC to 4190 BC.

To Earth with Love ♫

True Earth

See the shouting of the earth

I think he's angry at fake worth

They find it hard to see what's blurred

Overshadowed by the youthful neworld

Who is that thinking near real history?

I think they'd like to eat the mystery

Her recent scar is just and deep

It needs no mask, its doom will keep

Big Tek brings such a ban

a pet turtle and lots of spam

The turtle seeks true free speech

Especially ones they do not teach

The earth shudders at the ancient critical

He wants our gang to pump up analytical

Is Evolution Wrong?

President-elect Donald Trump said he will be the “greatest jobs producer that God ever created” in a recent press conference (1-11-17).  Does the Donald Deny Darwin??  In a prior post we discussed how Pence views evolution.

If the earth is young, then Darwinism must be a distant memory.  How does radiometric dating work?  If certain fundamental constants of physics have varied, could this alter radiometric decay rates?  What about the sun?  Is this planet really 4.5 billion years old?  What is the significance of the human footprints discovered by Mary Leakey in Africa in 1976?  Does history, geology and biology support Young Earth Science (YES)?

When dealing with origins research many related questions arise:

If Aliens arrived wound they deny Darwin?

Do the folks in Roswell, New Mexico hold to a young earth?

Has the universal gravitational constant ever varied?

How many of the Apollo astronauts accepted evolution?

Is there a conspiracy to keep YES out of the public square?

Does the Mayan calendar favor a youthful planet?

Can cryptozoology shed light on the old earth/new earth controversy?

Why are there worldwide traditions of a global watery catastrophe?

YES - the Young Earth Science podcast 2078

How old is the earth?  Does it matter?  On today's podcast we will see how History supports a young planet.  Click here to learn more. 

The Sumerian King List has eight kings before the worldwide cataclysm that the epic of Gilgamesh relates.  If we convert the reigns from base 60 to decimal, we can see that the Sumerian King List sums to just seven millennia and not many 10's of thousands of years.  Could this provide support for the claim that the earth itself is only thousands of years old, and not billions? 

Celebrate your independence from Old Earth Fallacies (OEF's).  Happy Independence Day!  By the way, Ben Franklin held to a young earth.  

Search out the evidence for yourself by getting the book, YES - Young Earth Science.

Doubt Old Earth Fallacies (OEF’s)

An AP-GfK poll published last year found that there are many who doubt that Earth Day celebrates a planet that’s 4.5B years old.  They surveyed 1,012 American adults (margin of error ±3.4%, .95 confidence level).

The survey found the following:

18% are not too confident that the Earth is 4.5 billion years old.

18% are not at all confident that the Earth is 4.5 billion years old.

So a full 36% doubt Old Earth Fallacies (OEF’s)!

Say YES to YES

Former aeronautical engineer and award winning SciFi author, James Hogan said, “A comparatively young world – in the sense of the surface we observe today – is compatible with unguided Catastrophist theories…” [1] Hogan states that conventional dating, “was more a product of materialism’s fight with religion than an empirical construct … [it was] manufactured to provide the long time scales that Lyell and Darwin needed.” [2] Hogan maintains that, “Mountain uplifts and other formations show indications of being younger than conventional geology maintains.” [3] One example that Hogan presents that challenges standard dating uses thermoluminescence of lunar material which was dated at less than 10,000 years. [4]

R. A. Lyttleton (F.R.S., astronomer), said that due to tidal friction, “… the Moon would have been almost in contact with the Earth only about 1,000,000,000 years ago…” – far less than the accepted 4.5 billion years. [5]  Richard Milton, science journalist and Mensan, is sympathetic to Young Earth Science (YES).  Carbon-14 has not reached the equilibrium point, so this planet is less than 10,000 years old Milton informs us. [6] 

According to Claudia Stolle of Denmark’s National Space Institute,

“At the moment, the Earth’s magnetic field is decreasing by approximately 5 % per century, and scientists are unable to explain the reason for this or describe the consequences this will have” (http://www.space.dtu.dk/English/Research/Earths_physics_and_geodesy/Magnetic_field.aspx).  Could this support YES?

Scientists in Sweden have discovered that remains of type I collagen, a structural protein, are retained in a mosasaur fossil.  Using synchrotron radiation-based infrared microspectroscopy they showed that amino acid containing matter remains in fibrous tissues obtained from a mosasaur bone (http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-05-endogenous-proteins-million-year-old-giant-marine.html):

Could these delicate structures really be millions of years old?

The half-life of ¹⁴⁶Sm (Samarium) has recently been changed from 103 ± 5 million years to 68 ± 7 million years (http://www.sciencemag.org/content/335/6076/1614.short).  That’s a 34% reduction!  Ultrasonic cavitation of water increases thorium decay by a factor of 10,000 (http://cerncourier.com/cws/article/cern/39158)!

   

Chinese history begins around 2200 BC. [7]  The Mayans placed the beginning at 3114 BC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_calendar).  British Egyptologist David Rohl has proposed a shortened Egyptian chronology (http://www.amazon.com/Pharaohs-Kings-David-Rohl/dp/0609801309)  Roger Henry has proposed a similar view:

The actual mechanism for resolving the chronological problems is to recognize that two dynasties (the 19th and 20th) are duplicated - they are listed twice by Manetho, first with Egyptian names and then with Greek names.  And a third dynasty, the 21st, is actually concurrent with the Persian Era. [8] 

The Sumerian King List (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumerian_King_List) can be compressed to 6,660 years by translating from sexagesimal (base 60) to decimal (base 10):

		Base 60			Decimal
King	Reign	(60^2)'s	60's	1's	Reign
Alulim	28,800	8	0	0	800
Alalngar	36,000	10	0	0	1,000
En-men-lu-ana	43,200	12	0	0	1,200
En-men-gal-ana	28,800	8	0	0	800
Dumuzid	36,000	10	0	0	1,000
En-sipad-zid-ana	28,800	8	0	0	800
En-men-dur-ana	21,000	5	50	0	550
Ubara-Tutu	18,600	5	10	0	510
				Total	6660

Notice how the even multiples of sixty and 3600 (sixty squared) verifies this theory.  

Lucretius (d. 45 BC), Roman poet and Epicurean, advocated YES (On the Nature of the Universe, Book 5, 326):

Why have no poets sung of feats before the Theban War and the tragedy of Troy [~1200 BC]?  The answer, I believe, is that the world is newly made: its origin is a recent event, not one of remote antiquity.  That is why even now some arts are being perfected
