Travelling back through time with Dr Richard Smith’s imaginary time machine on the ABC program Australia: The Time Traveller’s Guide, we reach the nebular hypothesis at about 7 min. This was first proposed by the French mathematician, astronomer and atheist Pierre-Simon Laplace to explain how our solar system came into existence by natural processes. The [...]

In my discussion of the Perth geological cross-section I concluded that the thick sedimentary deposits filling the Perth Basin likely extended across the Darling Plateau to the east. It seemed to me that these thick and extensive sediments would not have ended abruptly at the Darling Fault but continued, by the Principle of Lateral Continuity, [...]
The figure here shows an interpreted geological cross-section near Perth, Western Australia. It’s taken from the 1:250,000 scale geological map SH-50-14 publised in 1978 by the Geological Survey of Western Australia.
As I have mentioned before, I look at sections like these and interpret them using biblical history.
Section A-B is approximately 80 km long [...]

Those studying geology and those working as geologists in geological surveys, universities, and private industry will enjoy this article by Brett Smith from a 2008 Journal of Creation. It may be a bit of a challenge:
The current treatment of young-age creationists in the scientific community and society at large is unfair and unwise. Scientists and [...]

As I have previously mentioned, the Australian geological map series is most helpful for a first assessment of the effects of Noah’s Flood.
The geological section shown here is from the Wollongong 1:250,000 sheet (SI 56 09, second edition, New South Wales Department of Mines, Sydney, 1966). It cuts from the west to the east across [...]

I was working with the electricity industry in Mineral House, Brisbane, when I first developed the biblical geological model. The library of the Mines Department was just one floor below my office and I would regularly pore over their geological maps in my lunch hour.
The geological cross section for Goondiwindi (300 km west of [...]

When I started developing the geological model based on biblical history I wanted to apply it to some real geology to see how it worked. One helpful resource I found was the 1:250,000 scale geological maps prepared in the 1960s and 70s as part of a remarkable government program for mapping Australia. These maps are [...]
