For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.
1 Corinthians 3:19
"The conceit of modern geology is that the “present is the key to the past,” meaning that the currently observed rate of processes like erosion and deposition should inform our interpretation of what we see in the earth.
Q: But do geologists really live by that maxim?
A: It turns out they don’t.
The rates of coastal erosion of the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of North America have been well studied.
--The Atlantic coast is eroding away at the rate of over two feet per year,
--whereas the Pacific coast is wearing down at a much slower 8 inches per year.
Monte points out that at these rates of erosion, the Atlantic and Pacific will meet somewhere near Salt Lake City, Utah, in about 4.2 million years.
But mainstream geology tells us that the North American plate was formed 3 billion years ago, and that the supercontinent “Pangea” separated into the continents we have today about 200 million years ago.
But given current rates of erosion, if the continents had really separated that long ago, North America would have completely eroded away about 40 times over.
If the present is really the key to the past, the North American continent is vastly younger than what mainstream geology posits. *Those 200 million years didn’t really happen."
