Jordon T seemed surprised by the ideas he encountered on this site, and emailed some questions. Most of his problems will be resolved as reads more about it. Here are his questions:
———
How would the water from the “flood” erode sedimentary rocks quicker? Especially when such a flood would result in mass deposition of sediment such [...]

Stef Heerema from the Netherlands has posted a presentation on the origin of large salt deposits.
In 2009, he published some of these ideas in the Journal of Creation 23(3):116–118.
His research shows that the salt pillars around the world are elegantly explained by the interaction of a melted salt magma with the waters of [...]

At the Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve near Maleny, Queensland, the spectacular Glass House Mountains draw your gaze like a magnet. Photographs do not do them justice. You could spend hours soaking in the view as the clouds and shadows continually change during the day.
In this photo the scene is hazy because the atmosphere [...]

A reader sent the following email with a question about coal:
Hello,
First thank you for your brilliant site. There is a wealth of technical information put in simple terms, which is a great help to a non-geologist like me. Evolutionists really do tie themselves in mental knots trying to deny the plain evidence don’t [...]

Christiane Amanpour in her two-part ABC News special, “Back to the Beginning” features Titanic discoverer Robert Ballard claiming he found evidence of Noah’s Flood. (See Evidence Noah’s Biblical Flood happened, says Robert Ballard.)
In 1999/2000 Ballard explored for human settlements beneath the Black Sea on the basis of a theory by geologists William Ryan and [...]

Robert Ballard, the famous underwater archaeologist who discovered the sunken Titanic, is in the news again with his claim to have found evidence for Noah’s Flood in the Black Sea (see for example Flood behind Noah’s story ‘actually happened’ of 12 December 2012 on NineMSN).
In 1999, using underwater robotic devices, Robert Ballard explored beneath [...]

Here’s an email question I received today from GC asking for help about the geology of an area north of Sydney, Australia.
I’m wondering if you know of any Christian geologists, specifically in NSW, that may be interested in helping me with information about a geological formation at Mooral Creek, north of Wingham, that the locals [...]

I’ve been encouraged by a correspondent from South Africa who is familiar with its geology and seeking to understand how to apply the biblical geological model there.
Hi Tas
Your blog is very interesting and informative.
Your articles about the South African geology are very good. I’ve never seen any part of African geology interpreted like that. [...]

Don Prothero, selected as the ‘geological expert’ for Andrew Maxwell’s BBC Conspiracy Road Trip, played a little trick on the creationist team with a two-gallon ‘simulation’ of Noah’s Flood (beginning at about 8:44 on the video).
He says on his blog, “… this demonstration was very effective, and caught the smug Phil and others completely [...]

The BBC Conspiracy Road Trip hosted by comedian Andrew Maxwell took five creationists to Grand Canyon as part of his examination of creationism. Maxwell had teed up geology Professor Don Prothero to meet the team, as the “expert” who had been working at the Canyon for 35 years.
Prothero began his talk with the classic, self-serving [...]
