What is this if it is not blatant censorship? It is censorship from the earth is flat people. A person could be executed for claiming the earth is round at one time, and these guys are no better.

When Mt. St. Helen's erupted it formed a huge canyon down stream in one day, the canyon has sedimentry layers and looks like it took a billion years of evolution to create, when all it took was 24 hours.

It's not good when science deliberately closes off all competition from other possibilities. Look how long it took them to admit that there was a spontaneous eruption of different kinds of species in one period, just because it jives with the bible. Serious scientific claims made by scientist who entertain another possibility is just as valid as their "guess", and should not be relegated to the spiritual shelf.

"It's not good when science deliberately closes off all competition from other possibilities."

I agree 100%, these guys close their minds to possibilities and then think themselves scientific.

My guess is that few of them are aware that the rock formed from Mt. St. Helens was Potassium Argon dated to be millions of years old, despite the fact that scientists watched the rock form. And the same dating problem shows up in 18 other recent volcanic eruptions. And they wouldn't believe it if you told them.

Actually, they look like they only took 24 hours. The erosion is quite different from that found in the Grand Canyon.

Boy, this is so rampant with silliness I don't know where to start. (The use of an apostrophe for a plural was a good one for you, though.)

1) "Evolution" per se, isn't a geological concept, it's biological, though each field informs and enriches each other.

2) That volcanoes can form extremely deep mudflow, ash, or lava deposits VERY quickly has been known to Geologists for many decades. Nothing about about the St. Helens eruption was much of a surprise to geologists other than the lateral (not vertical) blast as up until St. Helens only one, from a Russian volcano on Kamchatka, was known.

3) Any competent geologist can very easily distingush between a volcanic deposit and a sedimentary deposit formed by non-volcanic running water, or precipitation from water, VERY easily.
