The only thing evolution accounts for is the accumulated evidence of geology...

One of the young geology professors at the college I attended is a rising star nationally. He keeps coming up with new perspectives that better explain geologic phenomena than the standard model. When by a student asked the source of his inspiration he free acknowledged that it was often his creationist relative, who, although a non-scientist by profession, was so effective in exposing the holes in traditional evolutionary views of geology that the young professor had been compelled by some sense of academic integrity to go back to the drawing board. That has led to some (otherwise) surprisingly creationist theories.

Please enlighten us as to the details.

You have given a generalization, but have stated no facts.

Please tell us what this new up and comer, rising star has discovered, and what new geological theory has he come up with, also, tell us what questions his creationist relative that were so effective.

I have got to see this.

In your post 108, you said "In college I was an officer of a student group that arranged campus debates to contribute to vigorous intellectual discussions on campus. All was well until we tried to arrange a debate on evolution. . . . We did eventually find someone willing to defend evolution in public. But he was slaughtered so thoroughly by the creationist from a Bible college that some students muttered the debate had been rigged."

And now you've posted that: "One of the young geology professors at the college I attended is a rising star nationally. He keeps coming up with new perspectives that better explain geologic phenomena than the standard model. When by a student asked the source of his inspiration he free acknowledged that it was often his creationist relative, who, although a non-scientist by profession, was so effective in exposing the holes in traditional evolutionary views of geology that the young professor had been compelled by some sense of academic integrity to go back to the drawing board. That has led to some (otherwise) surprisingly creationist theories."

Perhaps you can tell us all: (1) Who the creationist from the Bible college was; (2) what his arguments were that so effectively slaughtered his opponent; (3) who the rising star geologist is; (4) what the geologist's relative had to say that was "so effective in exposing the holes in traditional evolutionary views of geology;" and perhaps most enlightening, (5) what the geologist's suprising creationist theories are.

I await your answers with great anticipation.
