Where Darwin Went Wrong!

Geology and the Global Flood

The Search for Sodom and Gomorrah

Steven Austin from CreationWiki

According to Answers in Genesis Austin got a PhD from Pennsylvania State University in 1979 in Geology. AiG lists one publication,

“Excess argon within mineral concentrates from the new dacite lava dome at Mount St. Helens volcano” in Creation Ex Nihilo Technical Journal, reproduced at the AiG site.

CreationWiki lists a bunch more, nicely categorized into ‘Creationist” (by far the greater number) and “Secular”.

Here are the latter:

Secular

Austin, S.A., A.A. Snelling and K.P. Wise, Canyon-length mass kill of orothocone nautiloids, Redwall Limestone (Mississippian) Grand Canyon, Arizona, Abstracts with Programs, Geological Society of America Annual Meeting, Denver, Colorado, p. A-421, 1999.

Austin SA, Wise KP. 1999. Gigantic megaclasts within the Kingston Peak Formation (Upper Precambrian, Pahrump Group), Southeastern California: evidence for basin margin collapse. Geological Society of America Abstracts With Programs 31(7):A455.

JR Baumgardner, AA Snelling, DR Humphreys, and SA Austin. “The enigma of the ubiquity of 14 C in organic samples older than 100 ka”. Eos Trans. AGU, 84(46), Fall Meet. Suppl., Abstract xxxxx-xx, 2003

Nice to see Austin is a hardworking scientist, and that ICR are implicitly recogonizing that creationism isn’t secular, i.e., it’s religion.

   On the poster – now we know “where Darwin went wrong”. Argentina?!?

   I wonder what his point could be. Darwin collected fossils there while the Brits surveyed their brand new (confiscated) Falkland Islands, and sailed around a bit. Darwin had weeks to explore, to collect fossils, plants, birds, etc.

   Oh, now I get it! The creationists think Argentina is where Darwin “went wrong” because he did extensive field work and looked at evidence. The more facts and evidnece you have, the more you are wrong, according to the creationists.

   Do they need to have a point?

   If Dan’s hypothesis is correct, then Darwin REALLY screwed up in the Galapagos Islands and then when he got home things went from bad to worse. Darwin got involved with pigeon breeding and showed that the diversity of form that can quickly arise from a common ancestry in only a few generations.

   Having nothing better to do, other than marking, etc., I checked out the CSAA website. There was very little science of course, a lot of whining about “…an attitude tolerant of multiple working hypotheses being desirable and ethical. This would allow minority viewpoints to argue their positions with a view to influencing science in general. “

   The right of free speech applies to society and political discourse, not any endeavour requiring facts and evidence.

   The Edmonton Journal had an article this weekend that said the vast majority of variation in dog coats is the result of mutations in three genes. Wow. Not much intelligent designing required for dogs. Most cat people knew that already anyway.
