Is It Time For A Young Earth?

What is your opinion about the age of the earth?  What does Hillary think about it?  What is the Donald's view on this issue?  A relatively short history for this planet is now a live possibility.  Now is the time for all good scientists to come to the aid of Young Earth Science (YES).  Formerly, Young Earth Theory was discounted, but consider these words from R. F. Diffendal, from his article “Earth in Four Dimensions: Development of the Ideas of Geologic Time and History”:

To some extent the arguments about a short Earth history of a few thousand years versus a long history of billions of years are still going on today.  Most natural scientists support the long history.  However, some people including Richard Milton [Mensan, agnostic, science journalist] … support the idea of a short one. [1]

Be rational, this planet is younger than you think.  Some of the best evidences for devotees of a young earth include:
   
  • No fossil trees with thousands of rings
  • Contradictory radiometric dates
  • Solar effects on decay rates
  • History only goes back thousands of years
  • The human genome is going downhill
  • Lack of trillions of Neanderthal graves [2]

The oldest tree in the fossil record only has 816 rings (that's not recent).  Other arguments include catastrophism and soft tissue and DNA in fossils supposedly millions of years old.  We can’t re-create the Grand Canyon in a laboratory – the scientific evidence supports a rapid formation.  Mount St. Helens deposited thick layers and formed a mini Grand Canyon, so it does not take long ages for deep canyons to come about.

A Faint Young Sun is a problem for old earth advocates.  Many can talk origins, but they are depending on Old Earth Fallacies (OEF’s).  Research the facts for yourself!  Despite attempted rebuttals, the overwhelming scientific evidence tells us that my favorite planet is quite young.

Monitor the news and see how the perspective of most journalists is biased against young-earthers.  The public schools have a virtual monopoly and push the idea that the real history of the earth spans billions of years.  The educational establishment may club students over the head with old earth propaganda, but young earth sentiment remains strong as a recent AP-GfK poll demonstrates.

The young earth clock is gaining in popularity.  Young Earth Science (YES) is the future.  Google young earth and be amazed at the millions of hits.  Earth-Age is a topic that young earth skeptics need to rethink.  What would it take to disprove an old earth?

A few die-hard fans of the academic elite have turned scientists into gods and trust their every exposition.  For hundreds of years since the scientific revolution, most thinking people held that to a young earth.  It’s time to choose – will you investigate the facts that favor a fresh planet?

Young earth views are widespread.  A 2007 poll of 1600 Russians found that 30% agree with the statement, “[The] first human beings were living in the same era as dinosaurs.”  A 2005 survey of residents of the European Union had 29% agreeing with man-dino coexistence!  Are there dinosaurs in the modern world?

A powerful young earth book that can bring positive change is YES – Young Earth Science.  Just google yes jay hall or search yes jay hall on Amazon to learn more about this fascinating topic.  There is even a YouTube channel.  Join the discussion, build the dialog and follow young earth today.     

The omnicultural approach to this controversy teaches us that a global catastrophe occurred just thousands of years ago based on traditions from around the globe.  If catastrophism is the leading paradigm in earth history, then a young earth makes sense.  Stokes and Judson state in their Geology text Introduction to Geology (Prentice-Hall) that,

A catastrophist might contend that the twisting and breaking of strata, the transportation of huge blocks of rock, the violent cutting of canyons, and the wholesale destruction of life is within the power of a great universal flood - and he would be right. [3]    

Yes Virginia (& MD & DC), there is evidence for a young earth.  In recent times the progressive attitude has been open to a global cataclysm.  Consider Roland Emmerich’s disaster film 2012 which was based on Charles Hapgood’s pole shift theory which Einstein praised.

The Huffington Post had the following headline: Climate Change Worse Than We Thought, Likely To Be “Catastrophic Rather Than Simply Dangerous.”  The Huffington Post admits to catastrophic events in the future but ignores the great global disaster that changed the world just a few millennia ago.

Support liberty – press for school choice!  Allow our children to be exposed to Young Earth Studies.  Join the Young Earth Network that sees the robust worldview of a young world endorsed by Philosophy, History, Biology and Geology.  The International Year of Planet Earth should include speakers who accept a young earth.  Teach science – share the controversy!  Join the debate – our world is thousands and not billions of years old.    

To uncritically accept OEF’s is a literal mistake.  The conflict between young earth theory and old-earthism clearly has implications for evolution and Darwinism.  Please share your thoughts >>  YoungEarthScience@yahoo.com

Please Don't Dis My Tribe (ice-j)

Look inside of my soul and you can find the old memories of life
Look inside of your soul and you can find truth is for real
I can see the changes
I can feel a bold life
I always knew life could be strangerous
I can say that I like a challenge and it won't be painless
Do you know what truth is?
How can I tell this story?
When the bias blind is hanging with ya
Fell on my face and I just saw stars
Another Zeitgeist living way in my heart
Thought the earth was old, saw it in a flick
Native Americans shared the news for years
Just don't resent what I'm making of this
Old Gov Wilkinson heard the facts
Yellowstone is live and really rocks!
Big Geo says 70K, but that's a crock

Trending young earth changes
YES, Young Earth Science is just gonna be famous
Our lovely planet did not go through a billion stages
For me that's amazing
That's no blank check, with all due respect take time and hear this

I am a winner
YES, Young Earth Science wins again
Please forgive me
Just learn with me
Stuff I don't understand
Knowledge don't stand alone
Please don't dis my tribe (2x)
I can feel the energy of our planet that sways
I got my drink I got my music I will share it but today I'm yelling
Please don't dis my tribe (4x)

The Great Spirit sent a prophet to the good world he made
Man's evil and corruption was way whack and did not fade
Then the darkness came fast, yeah
The deluge hit the world, total flood on the earth on multiple axles
Oka Falamah and the people doomed
I know what you're scared of, returning waters - no escape
This fact is vital, so watch it now
This truth's revival, tell it like it was


A raft of sassafras logs kept the true prophet afloat
It's way more believable - be very sure to take note
Big bird was circlin' around
He then cried out for help - no, there was none to be found
a little blue bird showed the way to dry land
strong winds led the way - let all understand
the beautiful bird - named Puchi Yushuba

Now there came the changes
I can feel the new world's joy - now Puchi is famous
As the mother of all who've gone through many stages
To me that's amazing
That's no blank check, with all due respect take time and hear this ♫


This is based on the ancient Choctaw legend of the Great Flood.  Our book, YES- Young Earth Science, contains numerous examples of where Native American tradition, indigenous accounts and mythical records contradict mainstream geology.

Native Americans told James Wilkinson governor of Louisiana Territory in the early 1800's that a volcano was in the Yellowstone area.  The last lava flow was supposedly around 70,000 BC by generally accepted dating. [1]
The book Myth and Geology was published by the Geological Society of London which is the oldest geological society in the world.  Earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and cosmic impacts are described in myths from around the world.  That is, they refer to real events.  The epic of Gilgamesh is just one account of the Great Flood - there are hundreds of such historical recollections from around the world.

From YOLO to FROYO

When was the last time you heard YOLO (You Only Live Once)?  Or maybe BOGO  (Buy One, Get One)?  Here are a few more interesting expressions:

ARML = Age Related Memory Loss
ICYMI = In Case You Missed It
INO = I know
FOMO = Fear Of Missing Out
ZNO = Zeno (~d. 430 BC, philosopher)
FROYO = Frozen Yogurt
ROLO = candy
FIDO = Forget It, Drive On! (made famous by Zig Ziglar)
Stephen Jay Gould proposed the concept of Non-Overlapping MAgisteria (NOMA).  I have an alternative, MOMO (Multiple Overlapping Magisterial Overseers).  Consider the key leaders of Biology, Archaeology, History and so on.  They overwhelming favor Old Earth Fallacies (OEF).  In 1926, a committee of the National Research Council put their stamp of approval on radiometric dating.  Arthur Holmes, leader in the push for radiometric dating, wrote most of the report. [1]
Have you heard of MOYO (Millions Of Years Old) or BOYO (Billions Of Years Old)?  Our book YES- Young Earth Science counters the  MOYO/BOYO coalition.  If you've read the book, your feedback (Pro or Con) is most welcome:  YoungEarthScience@yahoo.com

If you are interested in opening a FroyoWorld franchise, it may cost you as much as $305K to $470K.  The very next time you're on I-20 be sure to visit Froyo's and More in Big Spring, TX (just East of Midland/Odessa).  It's grrreat‼

The character Sheldon in one episode of The Big Bang Theory said “Geology isn't a real science.”  What did he mean by that?  Historical geology paints a picture of what happened during the vast eons of Deep Time. 
There was supposedly an Age of Trilobites and an Age of Dinosaurs.  But we did not learn about these by direct observation - the TimeTunnel has not yet been invented.  Basic chemistry experiments are repeated every day, but we can't recreate the Grand Canyon in the lab. 


Does the Geologic Column really tell us the story of the transformation of life from simple to complex through time?  Or, does it primarily give us the record of a significant environmental failure that destroyed the Earth just thousands of years ago?  Learn more by clicking here to hear our engaging podcast.  


Many claim that the fossil record shows an order in the life forms that supports Darwinism, but you'll see in our podcast that this is not the case.  We propose that most of the sediments in the rock record are part of one catastrophic episode – a Singular Epoch of Rapid Geologic Activity (SERGA).  You can learn more about this in chapter five of our book YES - Young Earth Science.

The Cambrian Explosion refers to the sudden appearance of multiple phyla in the fossil record with no prior ancestors that have been found.  There is a Great Unconformity at the Pre-Cambrian/Cambrian boundary which points to a global catastrophe.  Evolution predicts a gradual increase in the number of phyla such as arthropods, chordates and brachiopods.  The Cambrian Explosion contradicts this.

The Politics of Old Earth

Ben Carson, Marco Rubio and Rick Perry (now supporting Ted Cruz) have all faced the age-of-earth controversy.  Politicians have engaged the old earth/new earth issue, but what about the power struggles and sociology of science that has led to a 4.5B year old planet?

Around 1900 there was a wide range of estimates for the earth’s age that were seriously considered.  Hermann von Helmholtz gave a date of 22M years based on the sun’s loss of energy.  By 1931 Arthur Holmes used the results of radiometric dating to assert that this planet is at least 1.5B years in age. [1]

In 1883, Alexander Winchell, former State Geologist of Michigan, estimated that the age of the earth at 3M years.  Former president of the Geological Society of London, Andrew Ramsay (d. 1891), held that the earth may be 10B years old! [2] 

Arthur Holmes, the most important person to make radiometric methods the dominant dating method, said in 1913, “It is now well known that if the proportion of radium in the interior of the earth is the same as that in the surface rocks, the earth ought to be growing hotter…” [3]  Did Holmes abandon his old earth PreSuppositions because of this contrary evidence?  No, he held tenaciously to his Deep Time WorldView. 
In 1921, at a meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, there was no consensus on radiometric dating and an Earth that’s billions of years old.  In 1926, a committee of the National Research Council concluded that radiometric dating was the only reliable method to date rocks.  Arthur Holmes, who led the campaign for radiometric dating, wrote 70% of the report.  What in the politics of science changed between 1921 and 1926?  Scott Frickel and Kelly Moore have edited The New Political Sociology of Science (Univ. of Wisconsin Press) which tackles the power struggles in the research establishment.
To learn more about this drama in science, be sure to get your copy of YES - Young Earth Science today!  Chapter Two deals with the history of radiometric dating.  This fully documented work has over 450 footnotes and more than 130 charts, graphs and illustrations.

YES - the Young Earth Science podcast 2081 (The Renaissance of Catastrophism)

In 1923, J Harlen Bretz boldly advocated that the Channeled Scablands of Washington (East of Seattle) had a catastrophic origin.  He was scorned by his peers for many decades.  NOVA had an episode on "one of the Earth's strangest geological riddles" in their show Mystery of the Megaflood which highlights Bretz' story.

Today catastrophism is on the rise and even underlies the mainstream explanation for the extinction of the dinosaurs.  Since around 1980, we are now in the Renaissance of Catastrophism - hear the podcast here.

Even Wikipedia has a page on the risk of global catastrophe.  According to a paper published in Nature in 1994, there's a 1-in-10K chance that a large asteroid (~2km wide) could hit the Earth within this century and wipe out a large portion of the world's population. 

Derek Ager was President of the British Geological Association and wrote The New Catastrophism which provides a plethora of examples of rapid geologic action.  If most rocks formed fast, could this planet be young (thousands, not billions of years old)?

The famous 1929 Grand Banks earthquake off Newfoundland caused a turbidity current where telegraph cables broke and thus recorded its speed of up to 60 mph!  This formed a turbidite which are abundant in the rock record.
For powerful evidence from History and Science that the earth is young, be sure to get your copy of YES - Young Earth Science and discover the clues refuting Deep Time.  D.S. Allan (science historian) and J.B. Delair (Geology museum curator, UK) have written Cataclysm!: Compelling Evidence of a Cosmic Catastrophe in 9500 B.C.  They provide abundant evidence of a great global catastrophe that occurred just thousands of years ago.  

"A science’s level of development is determined by the extent to which it is capable of a crisis in its basic concepts."
