Geology has been used to challenge the authority of the Bible by establishing millions of years of earth history. But does the actual scientific data back up this idea? As an example, if you calculate the size of the river deltas in the world in comparison to its rate of sediment discharge, in a million years, the sediment from the Mississippi River would cover the entire surface of the earth more than a mile deep. The rate of discharge of salt in the ocean is another indication of a young earth. Geologic strata are often found out of order, and laid down in thousands of feet of rock, with crossbedding showing successive tidal events. Geology based upon the story of creation in the Bible is reaching a stage of maturity, and in this volume, we lay out its case.
