Creation Moment 6/27/2026 - The “primordial material”

"More than 260 meteorites have been identified as coming from Mars, all igneous rocks classified into shergottites, nakhlites, chassignites, orthopyroxenite and polymict regolith breccias. 

More than 60 have been radioisotope dated using the K-Ar, Ar-Ar, Rb-Sr, Sm-Nd, U-Th-Pb, Lu-Hf and Re-Os methods. Some 3.0–4.57 Ga radioisotope “ages” coincide with the postulated formation of
Mars and the subsequent giant impact cratering, massive volcanism and water outflows that deposited sedimentary layers and carved canyons during the Martian Noachian and Hesperian eras. 

Other younger <3.0 Ga Amazonian era radioisotope “ages” are sporadically distributed, coinciding with minor, scattered, lingering igneous activity. 

The radioisotope “ages” are generally concordant, so they provide no definitive evidence of accelerated radioisotope decay having occurred during and since the formation of these Martian igneous rocks. Contrary to the naturalistic paradigm.

God specifically tells us that He created the earth on Day One of the Creation Week, and Mars, the other planets, and earth’s Moon were created on Day Four from the same “primordial material” He had created on Day One. 

Today’s measured radioisotope compositions of these Martian meteorites may thus partially reflect the isotopic signature of that created “primordial material” consisting of atoms of all elemental isotopes including isotopes and their now daughter isotopes that were not derived by radioactive decay. 

--However, it is assumed that radioisotope decay with its emitted damaging radiation did not occur during the Creation Week because God declared at the end of Day Six that everything He had made as “very good” (Genesis 1:31). 

--Thus it is assumed that radioisotope decay only commenced when God cursed the ground. 

--Similarly, the impact cratering of earth, its Moon, Mars and the other planets would likewise not have occurred during the Creation Week to damage God’s “very good” creation. 

Instead, the giant impact cratering, massive volcanism and water outflows that deposited sedimentary layers and carved canyons during the Martian Noachian and Hesperian eras (3.0–4.1 Ga) might correlate with the global Flood cataclysm on the earth. 

In the subsequent Martian Amazonian era (<3.0 Ga) geologic activity was minor, localized, and sporadic, as recorded in many of the Martian meteorites. There is thus a major “disconnect” between the radioisotope “ages” for these Martian 3.0–4.1 Ga major geologic events and rocks, and the radioisotope “ages” of < 600 Ma for rocks formed during the earth’s global Flood cataclysm. 

This “disconnect” may be due to the earth having suffered from the Day Three Great Upheaval in which the primordial isotopic endowment was mixed and redistributed producing younger radioisotope “ages” in the resultant rocks, whereas Mars being subsequently created on Day Four was not so affected and thus maintained its primordial mantle isotopic endowment. 

Then when earth’s global Flood cataclysm occurred with its accompanying accelerated radioisotope decay and stirring of mantle reservoirs due to plate subduction and mantle plumes during catastrophic plate tectonics, Mars was also affected with giant impact cratering and massive volcanism, in which its mantle reservoirs were stirred and their isotopic endowment mixed. 

However, whereas the radioisotope “clocks” in the earth’s rocks were accelerated from their pre-Flood settings through some 600 million years, the Martian rocks’ radioisotope “clocks” may have been mixed, reset and accelerated through some 4 billion years from their pre-Flood settings. 

This has implications for earth’s Moon, since it also did not suffer from the Day Three Great Upheaval and early in it supposed geologic history it also suffered from giant impact cratering and massive volcanism, which thus could also correlate with the earth’s global Flood cataclysm. In any case, even though these Martian meteorites yield consistent radioisotope “ages”, these cannot be their true real-time ages, which according to the Biblical paradigm are only about 6,000 and less real-time years."

Creation Moment 8/7/2025 - Why the Surprise on Witch Hazel Hill

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Hebrews 11:3

"Spotting nearly flawless spheres on the Martian surface is a rare occurrence for a rover. More than twenty years ago, NASA’s Opportunity rover made headlines after finding hematite-rich spherules (nicknamed “blueberries”) near its landing site in Meridiani Planum. 

Now, the Perseverance rover has come across a similar surprise: small spherical formations, some embedded in bedrock and others scattered loosely across an area informally known as “Witch Hazel Hill.”

In an earlier update, the team highlighted Perseverance’s close-up study of a spherule-bearing rock formation at a site called “Hare Bay,” where a core sample was later collected. After adding the “Bell Island” core to its collection, the science team turned its attention to the loose spherules in the surrounding terrain, which seem to have weathered out of nearby rock layers.

Despite their superficial similarity to Opportunity’s “blueberries,” the spherules at “Rowsell Hill” have a very different composition and likely origin. 

In Meridiani Planum, the spherules were composed of the mineral hematite and were interpreted to have formed in groundwater-saturated sediments in Mars’ distant past.
By comparison, the spherules in “Rowsell Hill” have a basaltic composition and likely formed during a meteoroid impact or volcanic eruption. When a meteoroid crashes into the surface of Mars, it can melt rock and send molten droplets spraying into the air. Those droplets can then rapidly cool, solidifying into spherules that rain down on the surrounding area. Alternatively, the spherules may have formed from molten lava during a volcanic eruption.

If they instead formed during a volcanic eruption, they could preserve clues about past volcanism in the region around Jezero crater."

Q: Why the Surprise on Witch Hazel Hill and elsewhere? It's a PLANET---of course it has volcanic activity.

Creation Moment 7/16/2025 - Mars... Made the same way Earth was

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Genesis 1:2

"Looks like Mars might have had more water than anyone previously imagined.
A sweeping orbital survey charted over 9,320 miles of riverbeds winding etched into Noachis Terra, a broad plateau in the planet’s southern highlands. Searching the fluvial sinuous ridges, also known as inverted channels, what they found suggests that the Red Planet

may once have been much wetter than previously thought. 

Each ridge of the plateau is believed to have begun as a channel of flowing water; today the hardened sediment stands tens of meters above the plain, a lithic negative of vanished rivers.
When water once coursed through these channels, sand and gravel settled onto the bed. Minerals bound the deposits into concrete-hard caps. Wind later scoured away softer surroundings, leaving the inverted relief that orbiters see today. Some ridges run for hundreds of kilometers without a break, while isolated fragments dot adjoining basins — clues that an entire drainage network once laced the landscape."

Creation Moment 5/21/2025 - I wouldn't be surprised

I wouldn't be surprised---because He likely made the planets through the same Creation Process....
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. Genesis 1:2,9

"Scientists have uncovered a seismic signature beneath Mars’ surface

that hints at something astonishing—liquid water may still exist in the planet’s upper crust....Liquid water.... Long ago, Mars had plenty of it—especially during its early Noachian and Hesperian periods.

Their analysis revealed something remarkable—a zone 5.4 to 8 kilometers deep where seismic waves slowed down significantly. This slowdown could mean the presence of liquid water at the base of Mars’ upper crust."

Creation Moment 7/18/2024 - Gale Crater tells us......

Mars bears marks of being watered covered because.....all the planets were likely created the same way---covered by water at the outset.
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Genesis 1:2

"In a new study, planetary scientists found strong similarities between soils found in Gale Crater on Mars and those of Canada’s

Newfoundland, a cold subarctic climate. The soils and rocks of Gale Crater provide a record of Mars’ climate between 3 and 4 billion years ago, during a time of relatively abundant water on the planet — and the same time period that saw life first appear on Earth.

“Gale Crater is a paleo lakebed — there was obviously water present. But what were the environmental conditions when the water was there?” said Dr. Anthony Feldman, a soil scientist and geomorphologist at Desert Research Institute."

Creation Moment 11/7/2023 - Well, Well, Well, what do we have here?

But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise... 

1 Corinthians 1:27
In the story below from a secular site two things are of note:

1) They ADMIT that Different Dating Techniques Render Different Results...which COMMON SENSE Dictates that only one could be right---and that maybe they are ALL WRONG. 

Q: How many "dates" given throughout time on everything is actually wrong? 

A: I'm guessing nearly ALL.

2) Despite of their still clinging to millions of years chronology they have decided Mars may be much younger than they have thought. 

" It is possible the measures of age are largely wrong. 

Different dating techniques have returned different results, which means scientists aren't fully confident in estimates of when these rocks formed on Mars.
A team of scientists from the US and UK has now found a way to

resolve this problem. And, to their surprise, many of these rocks are indeed quite young – just a few hundred million years old, in fact. This information could provide clues about how long the meteorites took to get here, as well as geological processes on Mars. Mars has come to the humans. Chunks of Martian rock ejected from their homeworld by processes such as violent impacts have wended their way through the Solar System to end up – smack! – crashing into Earth.
As we collect these samples of our neighboring planet, a curious pattern has emerged. Most of the samples seem to be rocks that formed on the red planet fairly recently; a peculiarity, given most of the Martian surface is so old." ScienceAlert

Evidence of Mars OR Earth Flooded?

Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. 1 Peter 3:20

"In the article I referred to above, the author is summarizing new research on the history of Mars, specifically that perhaps Mars had a dense atmosphere made of hydrogen that allowed liquid water to

flow across its surface. Of course, the author places this in the very distant past of 3.7 to 4.2 billion years ago (of course, Mars is only 6,000 years old, having been created on day 4 of creation week). In the astronomical evolution timeline, this is when earth was supposedly still just a hot molten blob.

The evidence for water on Mars is so strong, many planetary scientists believe it was once subject to a global, or near global, flood! And yet no liquid water has been found anywhere on the planet today.

This article reminded me of the foolishness of man. These scientists will accept the idea that a planet with no liquid water could have been flooded, but they outright reject the possibility that earth—a planet covered in over 70% liquid water—was once catastrophically flooded. 

And the evidence is all around them that earth once was!

• Fossils of sea creatures on the tops of mountains
• Massive fossil graveyards
• Sediment transported thousands of miles
• No slow erosion between rock layers
• Rock layers laid down in very rapid succession

Creation Moment 6/18/2022 - WRONG AGAIN

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God...

Hebrews 11:3

 

"Geologists at the University of California at Davis were surprised

when they measured krypton isotope ratios in a rare meteorite believed to have been delivered to Earth from Mars. 

Planetary scientists use isotope ratios as divination tools. According to their models, certain krypton isotopes indicate a primordial nebula as the source. Other isotopes indicate meteors as their source millions of years later. Krypton, being a noble gas, is a “volatile” element that can be found in a planet’s crust and atmosphere.

Here’s the conventional narrative from a UCD press release June 16, 2022, “Martian Meteorite Upsets Planet Formation Theory.”

 "A basic assumption about planet formation is that planets first collect these volatiles from the nebula around a young star, said Sandrine Péron, a postdoctoral scholar working with Professor Sujoy Mukhopadhyay in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, University of California, Davis.

Because the planet is a ball of molten rock at this point, these elements initially dissolve into the magma ocean and then degas [de-gas] back into the atmosphere. Later on, chondritic meteorites crashing into the young planet deliver more volatile materials.

So scientists expect that the volatile elements in the interior of the planet should reflect the composition of the solar nebula, or a mixture of solar and meteoritic volatiles, while the volatiles in the atmosphere would come mostly from meteorites. These two sources — solar vs. meteoritic — can be distinguished by the ratios of isotopes of noble gases, in particular krypton."

 

The scientists at UCD carefully measured the krypton isotope ratios

in a Mars meteorite that fell to Earth in France in 1815. Alas, it didn’t fit the narrative. The divination work indicated that the meteorite, thought to be primitive from Mars’ interior, had a substantial amount of atmospheric krypton. Often the ‘surprise effect’ tells a philosopher of science that a paradigm is suffering an anomaly.

Surprisingly, the krypton isotopes in the meteorite correspond to those originating from meteorites, not the solar nebula. That means that meteorites were delivering volatile elements to the forming planet much earlier than previously thought, and in the presence of the nebula, reversing conventional thinking.

How devastating is this anomaly? Is it just a one-off measurement that still fits the secular paradigm of planet formation? If Mars completed its growth when the solar nebula was still intact, the sun should have blown off the nebula, and Mars’ early atmosphere with it. 

Q: So how did Mars come to have any remaining atmospheric krypton? 

 

Data proved opposite their expectations:

Our observations contradict the common hypothesis that, during planet formation, chondritic volatile delivery occurred after solar gas acquisition…..

  

Send more funding, and they will find figure it out. They’ve been wrong for decades about their divination technique, but they can keep their jobs anyway. You can trust them. They are scientists. No scientist ever has to be held accountable for misleading generations of trusting students." CEH

Creation Moment 4/30/2021 -Job 5:3...even on Mars

I have seen the foolish taking root: Job 5:3 {even on Mars}

 

"The Perseverance rover landed. 

As usual, the search for life is a priority for the mission.

 

Our prediction that no life will be found on Mars is based on history,

probability, the harshness of the Mars environment and the complexity of a minimal cell.

 

We can also add another prediction: a null finding will not stop NASA from looking for life on Mars......NASA knows that the L word life is a sexy term to maintain public interest in Mars missions.  

NASA will keep at it even if a sample return mission brings back a sterile sample of Martian soil, because even then they could claim they looked in the wrong place." CEH

Creation Moment 3/14/2021 - Another Blow to Martian Life Evolutionary Theory

I have seen the foolish taking root: Job 5:3

"In 1996, a rock that was thought to have somehow made its way to Earth from Mars was a media sensation as news outlets proclaimed “Life on Mars!” A microtubule or filament-like structure was

thought to be the fossilized remains of some sort of primitive life. That’s because it was similar to alleged fossils on Earth that were claimed to be 4 billion years old.

Now a team from the University of Edinburgh has created similar-type structures in the lab that closely mimic the alleged Earth/life-on-Mars structures. They did this by mixing iron-rich particles with alkaline solutions that contained silicates or carbonates.

Researcher McMahon said, “These results call for a re-examination of many ancient real-world examples to see if they are more likely to be fossils or non-biological mineral deposits.” Of course, we agree. Indeed, if many of these ‘ancient-life’ examples turn out to be nothing of the sort, then it would be a serious dent for the idea of evolution of alleged primitive life billions of years ago." CMI

Creation Moment 3/10/2021 - No you are NOT from Mars

And the LORD God formed man ...breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Genesis 2:7

"NASA’s most specialized life-hunting laboratory to date, the rover Perseverance, successfully landed on the Red Planet. 

It’s a great feat of scientific ingenuity and achievement. Now that it is safely there, its mission begins as it rolls down what are supposedly ancient riverbeds in search of an answer to the question, “is there, or was there, life on Mars?” 

For many scientists, it is more than just a hope that microbial life will be found in clays on Mars.

 

Some hope this will give insight into our own supposed evolutionary origins.  

For example, a recent popular science article quotes planetary scientist Christopher Carr who says, “There’s a number of things that have come to light only recently, which strongly support at least the plausibility of an origin of life on Mars and its potential transfer to Earth.” 

---In other words, your great-great-great (many more greats!) grandmother might have been a Martian—a microbial Martian anyway. 

 

Q: Now why do researchers like Carr believe this? 

A: Well, because the supposed conditions on the early Earth weren’t ideal for producing life. So they believe perhaps the conditions on Mars were better, and life managed to get from the red planet to our blue planet, where it gained a foothold and eventually evolved into all the varied lifeforms we have today. 

It’s just storytelling to try to rescue a false worldview." AIG

Creation Moment 7/22/2020 - Mars Lesson?

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Genesis 1:2Did our other solar system planets form by the same way via the Spirit of God?

"Mars may once have had an ocean – but only for a geological

blink of an eye, which puts a dampener on ideas that there is or was life on the Red Planet. That’s according to a new theory put forward by Tim Parker of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Signs that Mars was once rife with water litter the present-day surface, with numerous geological features that are difficult to explain if it was always the dry, dusty lo­cale we see today.

The trouble is that models of the ancient Mars climate struggle to match the conditions necessary to keep liquid water on the surface, which would require a thicker atmosphere. This atmosphere must have somehow been rapidly lost to leave Mars as we see it today."
