Magma that cools quickly forms basalt and is amorphous at microscopic level. Granites can be formed from the same combination of minerals, but have a very different appearance because of the size of the crystals that are formed during the cooling process. In relative terms, basalts cool quickly and granites cool slowly. But, the formation of both types of rocks occurs over a very short period of time compared to their longevity on the Earth. Both can be found today that were formed hundreds of millions or even a few billions of years ago. The decay of radioactive minerals within these rocks allows us to date them in their proper hierarchy within the Earth’s history.
This story is complete poppycock, nonsense, bull crap. And oh, by the way: nothing that what geology has to say about the formation and life cycle of the Earth is in any way contradictory to what God and Jesus tell us about creation. Some people try to convince others that the two are incompatible, but they don’t know what they are talking about.
Amen.
