Upside down formations, odd things in wrong places, extensive challenges of dating methods, the fading magnetic field of the earth, stalagmite formation, footprints in stone, petrified wood, reexamination of the Sahara, Neanderthal man, and oddities found below the earth's surface are itemized. Keys to unlocking mysteries of ancient history are discussed also. By statistical considerations, the probability that amino acids and other components would combine spontaneously to form a protein with a chain of one hundred amino acids is examined. The conclusion is that there are not enough amino acids available, nor enough time from the beginning of the earth, even according to the most liberal estimates made nowadays, to bring about even one molecule of any type of protein. Ph.D. A review is given of geologic investigations using stable isotopes and changes in their abundance.
Many natural processes tend to concentrate particular isotopes by a factor of several percent.
Four creationist applications arising from this natural isotopic enrichment are considered. First discussed are large scale errors in C 14 radiometric dating of fresh water Mollusk shells due to C 12 isotope exchange. It is shown that this age-determination uncertainty may also affect all other radiometric dating methods. Popular concepts of evaporite deposition and continental drift, that are dependent upon long geologic ages, are discussed. Recent stable isotope data which can be used to contradict these ideas is interpreted.
