5A ORIGIN OF THE EARTH FACTS LIMIT WHAT WE LEARN ABOUT HISTORY THE BEST THEORY WOULD ACCOUNT FOR EVERYTHING WE OBSERVE OLD EARTH GEOLOGIST’S STORY NEBULAR HYPOTHESIS EARTH’S FORMATION PROBLEMS WITH OLD EARTH THEORY YOUNG EARTH STORY CREATION EX NIHILO

5B HISTORY OF CHANGE EARTH IS ALWAYS CHANGING YOU IDEA OF WHEN & HOW FAST DEPEND ON YOUR WORLDVIEW OLD EARTH GEOLOGIST’S STORY THE RUBIK’S EARTH MODEL PANGAEA BROKE UP 180 MILLION YRS AGO VERY SLOW CONTINENTAL DRIFT < 2 CM YR ICE AGES GLACIAL PERIOD GEOLOGIC COLUMN STRATUM/STRATA- ROCK LAYER(S) ABSOLUTE AGE & RELATIVE AGE PRINCIPLE OF SUPERPOSITION STRATIGRAPHY PROBLEM’S WITH OLD EARTH STORY WANDERING CONTINENTS MAGNETIC CLUES ICE AGE GLACIERS RADIOMETRIC DATING FOSSIL DATING
