If you take the drive north on Hwy 191 out of Vernal, UT heading up the east side of the Uinta Mountains to the Flaming Gorge you’ll see many rock formations like the pick you posted where the rock has been cut out for the road. Really awesome to see!
They had a name for the drive called “Rock of Ages” or “Rock Formations of The Ages” or something like that.
Wish I could find some pics of it online.
good job
The article is phony from beginning to end.
To start, geologists are not divided over the origin of sedimentary rocks. Some sediments clearly do undergo soft-sediment deformation: it can happen in near-surface layers with water present, but not at depth or with very great thicknesses. This has been known for well over a century. The point is, one can tell the difference. The case shown in the nice picture is certainly not soft-sediment deformation..
The whole Creationist movement, which I used to tolerate because of the apparent sincerity of it proponents, no longer should merit any patience. I don’t even regard Creationists as particularly Christian.
Let me put it simply: the Bible is not a textbook of geology. It never was intended to be; and it is plain ignorant to read it that way. It is not a physics manual, a chemistry book, a cookbook, an investment guide, or any of the other things people try to read into it.
It is a record of history, but always from a point of view. That view is the message, and is key. If people stuck to the simple but profound truths of the Bible, but left the dinosaurs (which aren’t even there) out of it, we would be reading things much more clearly.
You have done even a greater Job!!!!
This ‘fossil’ ship’s bell were found recently about 50 metres (170 feet) off the coast of Victoria, Australia. These metal bells have become firmly encased in solid rock. The specimen is currently in the possession of the Maritime Archaeological Unit of Heritage Victoria, where it is being desalinated. Most of us have been so ‘evolutionized’ by our culture that things like rocks or fossils are immediately associated with millions of years of slow processes. It does not often register with the general public that there is no scientific reason to believe that rocks take millions of years to form—it all depends on having the right ingredients. Of course, these ship’s bells are not millions of years old. They come from the wreck of the wooden sailing ship Isabella Watson, which sank off the coast of Victoria in 1852. The bells are firmly cemented in a rock matrix. Found in one metre of water, they have been highly polished by surf action.
If Noah’s Flood was planet wide instead of in Mesopotamia. And was high enough to cover Mount Everest, where did the water come from, and where did it go?
