Quiz: Geology and Physical Geography 1. Which types of rocks are formed by the settling of sand, silt, or mud, which then harden to layers of stone? Sedimentary 2. The result of the Fall on man was? Physical death 3. It appears that many of the craters on the moon occurred. The Flood 4. Which of the following biological effects did NOT come about after the Fall? Herbivory 5. According to the Bible, plants are not “alive” like animals or humans. True 6. When did God tell Adam and Eve to “be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the Earth”? Immediately after their creation? 7. It appears that the greatest difference in the Edeneian Earth may have been the absence of geological evil. True 8. Carbon-14 enters your body through Consuming food. 9. The Edenian Epoch was marked by the absence of natural evil. True 10. Prior to the Flood, the world's oceans were likely? About the same level of saltiness as today 11. The rule of lateral continuity tells us that layered rocks found at an angle were deposited before flat-lying rocks. False 12. Dinosaur fossils are most often found with what types of plants? Gymnosperms 13. Geologists are able to directly date fossils and determine its numerical age (such as 68 million years or 150 million years. False Relative Dating Geological dating-Based on what we see in the rocks This is the age of that rock. Nikko Steno is the dawn of the scientific period of time and Nico Steno was an anatomist in Denmark he was studying at Copenhagen. Stone sandstone and shale are what we call sedimentary rocks because they start as sediments. Walked Tuscany. Developed 2 rules the 1st is that sediments are originally horizontal. Lateral continuity. The wall of superposition super meaning above and position your spot right so the wall of where you are in your spots above tells us that the old sediments are laid down on the bottom and progressively younger ones come up at the surface so now we've got a stack of sediments in geology that gives us a progression of time. 3 rules original horizontality lateral continuity and superposition. The 80-page paper found the basis and foundation for all of the sedimentary geology from here on out brilliant mind with Nico Steno. How do you get the solid in a solid stone never actually wrote this one out it would come to James Hutton's writing in the 1798 Rule of Inclusion. Put solid into sediment. Steno. Is that he was painstaking in his observations that he was a brilliant anatomist he actually has? A solid very duct that he discovered and is named after him in biology He also has a rule in mineralogy named after him because he identified those minerals. Radioisotope Dating: Part 1

An atom in its nucleus has generally 2 pieces as a proton. All elements pretty much have isotopes in an isotope is the same number of protons in their particular Atom. Carbon has 6 protons and 6 neutrons so with a mass of 12 6 and 6. Carbon 14 Carbon 14 has 8 neutrons 6 protons and up to be 14- unstable configuration or a radioactive isotope or a radioisotope. Alpha particles which are 2 protons, and 2 neutrons can go through beta decay and give off electrons. In this case is a decade away given our energy given off these radioactive gamma rays and things that give. You get a crossing of those 2 curves that determine the half-life for that particular isotope of how long it takes for half of the parent to turn into the daughter and that determines it's a period. Decay rates have been the same throughout all of the history of the earth. Rocks are generally in the ground and within the ground are going to have groundwater flowing in and out of the rocks constantly for a long time they've been there whether you believe it's thousands of years my god you or millions or billions of years like these most likely geologists believe. Radioisotope Dating: Part 2 One is called relative time and relative time is where the geologists of old used to do before they discovered radioisotopes they would just go through and look up the age of any space down the road to order of deposition. Absolute time involves the radioisotope techniques, but we don't date the fossils themselves. We don't date these fossils we date the rocks surrounding those fossils. Crosscut a lot of us cut across to determine the age and bracket in that age is as close as possible to a number so many times we get kind of a range of ages for certain fossils until we get more information. Secular geologists believe these things are millions of years old. So, to get millions of years old you can't use something that has a very rapid decay rate. They don't need the fossils themselves they try to find rocks and they find the same fossils somewhere else, and they assume that those fossils are the same age. There's no way to check the accuracy. Isotope dating. So isotope dating is kind of a game in some regards it's very precise but not necessarily accurate but again to remind you we don't date the bones we date the rocks surrounding the bones if we have the right igneous lava flows or ash flows that fall in a deposit in those sedimentary layers. Radioisotope Dating: Part 3 Radioactive isotope dating. Uranium lead you can use radium strontium. Carbon 14 which is what's found in the image of the carbon ratios in a particular animal like a dinosaur should have all decayed away it has a half-life I'm only 5730 years. Carbon 14 dates are just contamination. Your Body is a Bathtub Radioactive isotopes so radioactive isotopes. Our body is a bathtub of carbon 14 which is one of the radioactive isotopes. So, Carbon 14 is formed in the atmosphere all the time every day by radiation from the sun that comes through the atmosphere and strikes nitrogen molecules in the atmosphere most of the atmosphere 78 percent is made up of nitrogen every once in a while, it's high energy neutron comes in and hits the nitrogen. The replacement that turns the nitrogen into carbon-carbon 14- 6 protons 8 neutrons.

Quiz: Noah’s Flood Dinosaurs, Feathers, and Creation Micro Raptor dinosaur found in China is close to the split between dinosaurs meeting dinosaurs. Cladistics. Microraptors Statistical Baraminology Creationists have their methods of attempting to take those data sets and put them into cluster analysis methods we call this statistical baraminology and what I can show with statistical baraminology. Winged animals Day 5 Creation. Soft Tissue Preservation and the Earth's Age Rock can last millions of years in theory, but bone cannot bone is short-lived there are proteins inside bone especially collagen and it's the most abundant protein inside the bone. Blood vessels, not minerals. With red blood cell elements in them. Collagen and has been very accurately measured the decay rate repeatedly measured collagen in bone specifically. Doesn’t last a million years. Noah's flood and that's what the secular world has then we have a big theological problem and that means we have millions of years of these kinds of creatures dying millions of years of death and so that puts death before Adam's sin and now this begins to undermine the gospel because what's the whole purpose of Jesus he came to rescue us from death by his resurrection and life and so when we put dinosaur and other fossils back into the perspective of Noah's Flood which happened after sin and after death then we restore.
