FOOLISHNESS: Evolutionary historical geology

We were encouraged when 18 students and parents came to see our Bible-Science Museum. Thankful for the “life-or-death rescue” by hundreds of U.S. planes and commandos of the Air Force Colonel whose F-15E went down in Iran. Grateful for the safe “splash down” of the four Artemis II Moon astronauts!

In July 1969 I did geology on the Oregon Coast when the Apollo 11 spacecraft landed on the moon. All of the above were the result of science, technology and human planning and guidance — and God’s mercy!

The AP article (Press, April 4), “How we came to be…” is based on evolutionary debunked theories. Paleontologists are trying to explain how early life — called the “Cambrian Explosion” — is so complex. Trilobites have complex eye systems vastly more complex than human invented cameras!

My geology and paleontology professors at both U.C., Berkeley (1965) and San Jose State University (1977) taught students atheistic evolution. At the U.S. Geological Survey, where I worked, geologists continually could not get consistency with radiometric-age dates. So, they threw out ages that did not fit their evolutionary training.

Macro Evolution is like trying to build a house by random chance and dropping the following off of thousand-foot cliffs for billions of years: bricks, concrete, wood, sheetrock, piping, glass, tiles, insulation, Tyvek, gutters…!

Evolutionists get confused with diversity (“microevolution”). Yes, there are hundreds of dog types, but they are still dogs!

But the Bible says, “Through wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; By knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches.” (Proverbs 24:3-4).
