Evolutionists need the magic of millions and billions of years to have a hope of convincing us that what is normally impossible according to the laws of science just might be possible if we allow unfathomable years for it to happen.
So it is that they want us to believe that it took millions or even billions of years for the geological features we see to have formed.
Well, not only is the science upon which assumptions rest based on an unproven and unprovable house of cards, we are learning that many of the things scientists once claimed had to take millions of years can actually happen in much less time.
Granite is one such thing.
From the video description:
People with granite bench tops in their kitchens are usually very proud of them, never failing to show them off to visitors. But thats not surprisingserving up dinner on a surface that was supposedly millions of years in the making carries a certain aura about it.
But in a recent paper, published in the Proceedings of the Geologists Association, granite specialist John Clemens stated, just about everything that was taught as recently as ten years ago about granitic magmatism has been turned on its head.
He then described how granites can form quickly. He concluded that granites belong with an increasing number of geological processes that were, catastrophic in their suddenness.
This eliminates yet another reason not to believe the Bibles timescale.
While this is certainly a dramatically different view of how granites form, be sensitive when telling your friends with granite bench tops, because they might find this research pretty deflating.

Oh, Laz, I’m sorry to read in your tagline about the loss of your kitty. Our cats are dear to us, and I know the pain of losing one.
So it’s not the real thing, people just take it for granite.
Oh, hey! Nice, thoughtful, persuasive, information and fact-packed rebuttal there, sparky! Yeah, right.
That’s funny! :-)
Really? God told us? I have never seen a Bible published by God. they all are penned by men. As far as the End goes, you can only hope.
What's your standard for "provable"? In absolute terms, all of empirical science is based on assumptions about physical constants.
It is assumed that they are constant because they always measure the same, but there is always the logical escape hatch that says it's impossible to prove a negative, so you can't prove that there is never any variance.
Obviously demanding the adoption of that standard would destroy the foundations of modern empirical science, but we're not anti-science here, right?
“The enemies of conservatism ???????
Massachusetts, I suppose you’ll just have to wait and see. Judging by your—and some other “smart” ones’—reaction here, I guess you’re willing to bet your eternity on it.
I’m sorry about that.

Yeah. I guess he thinks that if we tell God’s truth about creation, that it will somehow make leftist, lunatic nutjobs hate us even more. I’m not sure why we should give a rip about what leftist “enemies of conservatism” think, but I guess he understands what he means.
That the BS "sources" you reference (and the people who draw silly conclusions from them) ignore long-known science. Granite is one of several basic rocks that crystallize from magma. Granites often form the "roots" of mountain ranges like the Sierra Nevada and indicate slower cooling than extrusives like basalt. Maybe there are certain conditions that allow granitic crystallization to occur very quickly -- possibly changes in pressure or temperature or the sudden introduction of new feedstocks -- but I want to see original source material, not papers with the bogus "Creation Science" imprimatur which is the definition of an oxymoron.
You're not going to require them to make their own scratch?
On small scales, some of these “rapid geology” theories work. They’re nonsensical on global scales.
As I age I’m getting a perspective on what a century really is. Then I note that 10,000 years (typical “young Earth” timeframe) is just 100 hundred-year lifetimes back to back. Having seen what has happened in about half a century, and studied recorded history, it’s pretty easy to extrapolate what one could sensibly expect of geology in that timeframe. That leaves a ridiculously small period for a mind-boggling amount of geologic activity. Exponentiate that with the amount of energy required to make anything happen on that scale in that time, and you’re talking Earth-destroying levels of chaos and power, which have no hope of creating the nuanced structure we see layered within mountainous artifacts. It’s akin to expecting to assemble a building using a nuclear bomb; falling back on “well, if the bomb’s designer is really clever...” is not convincing.
Yes, your ignorance is abundant.
The haloes do prove that granite cooled instantly.
Scratch will be provided at the scratch patch.
Indeed GE has been making industrial diamonds for decades and gem quality stones are being made too. There are other gem stones, rubies I believe, being made.
When you display ignorance and misrepresent science, then you're harming conservatism.
God lets us see the truth everyday about his creation, not at one particular time thousands of years ago.
