The Changing Earth Chapter 5
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
5B HISTORY OF CHANGE YOUNG EARTH GEOLOGIST’S STORY GENESIS 6:5-8 FLOOD MOST SIGNIFICANT EVENT AFTER CREATION MARKS DIVISION OF WORLD GOD CREATED & WORLD WE LIVE IN TODAY LIKELY GEOLOGIC EVENTS AFTER FLOOD RECORDED HISTORY NOT FOUND IN BIBLE BEGINS AFTER THE FLOOD HUMAN LIFESPANS GREATLY DECREASE AFTER THE FLOOD FLOOD STORY ICE AGE GLACIAL RIDGES DILUVIAL GEOLOGIC COLUMN ROCK STRATA SAME PERSPECTIVES ARE DIFFERENT

5C TECTONICS: AN AGENT OF CHANGE YOUNG EARTH GEOLOGIST’S STORY THE FLOOD & PLATE TECTONICS YOUNG EARTH SCIENTISTS AGREE THERE IS GOOD EVIDENCE FOR PLATE TECTONICS WHEN & HOW LONG - ARE THE MATTER OF DEBATE YE SCIENTISTS BELIEVE THE FLOOD CREATED WHAT WE SEE TODAY CATASTROPHIC PLATE TECTONICS JOHN BAUMGARDNER RUNAWAY SUBDUCTION THERMAL RUNAWAY PROBLEMS WITH PLATE TECTONICS MOVEMENT OF PLATES HEAT GENERATED BY PLATE MOVEMENT WE REALLY DON’T KNOW
