The Geologic Column: Does It Exist?
by John Woodmorappe
There are of course a handful of geologists with real geology degrees (probably countable on both hands at most) that are young-earth creationists, that earn their living writing books telling creationists what they want to hear.
But if you went to the geology department at the college or university closest to you, I’d bet you a considerable amount of money all of them believe the Earth is billions of years old. If you kept going to the next closest one, you won’t find a YEC. You’d probably have to spend the better part of a year visiting geology departments and talk to thousands of geologists before you’d find a YEC.
There are tens of thousands of geologists in the world, including those outside academic departments. If you go to all the oil companies you’ll almost certainly find that all their geologists discovering oil are doing so based on an understanding the Earth is billions of years old.
