| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| (True or false) evolutionists account for the natural origin of life from nonliving materials because life exist, and according to them there can’t be any other way for life to begin | True |
| in the beginning, what was the overall factor that organized matter into a solar system according to the nebula hypothesis? According to biblical Creation? | In the NEBULAR hypothesis GRAVITY was the main overall factor that ORGANIZED matter into a solar system. According to the BIBLE it was GOD‘S WORD |
| What scientific evidence shows that some of the woolly mammoth died suddenly | Some of the carcasses still had VEGETATION in their STOMACH and between their TEETH and some were were buried STANDING UP |
| Describe a proper and improper response when either secular or Christian scientists observe something that does not fit their model of the solar system | Scientist either can CHANGE their model or they can IGNORE the problem |
| What is the major problem with the theory of a slowly cooling earth, producing thick ice sheets during an ice age? | A slowly cooling earth has less and LESS moisture in the ATMOSPHERE available for producing snow. This is because the rate of TEMPERATURE depend depends on EVAPORATION. In this situation, a cold.DESERT what develop not in an ICE AGE. |
| Explain why fossil of a tall tree trunk that extends the multiple rock strata is a problem for the standard old earth view of geology | Secular geology, assumes very low sedimentation rate. A tall tree trunk will decay away long before the thousands of years needed to cover it with enough sediment to fossilize it. |
| How do biblical creationist determine the age of the earth at the time of the Genesis Flood? | Biblical creationists use the genealogy found in Genesis 5, and the age of Noah given and Genesis 7, to calculate the age of the earth at the time of the Flood |
| (True or False) the genesis flood lasted 40 days and 40 nights | False |
| State three ways in which the Biblical Flood affected the world and people | 1. The Flood completely reformed the earth’s surface 2. All recorded human history occurs after the Flood 3. The length of human life decreased greatly after the Flood. |
| What are two ways that geologists can date a rock stratum | Radiometric dating and relative dating |
| (True or False) scientific evidence today indicates that continents are not fixed imposition on the surface of the earth, but slowly move | True |
| What do geologists believe is the driving force for sea -floor spreading | Geologists believe that HOT SLOWLY rising plumes of MANTLE rock strike the lithosphere and spread out. Friction drags the ocean CRUST apart at RIFT ZONES |
| What technology used during World War II revealed unsuspected ocean basin structure that reinforced the idea of drifting continents | The use of SONAR during World War II revealed NEW ocean basin structures |
| What is an important geologic feature found in ocean basin associated with subduction of ocean plates under continental plates | Deep ocean TRENCHES are present where ocean plates APPEAR TO have subducted under continental plates |
| Both secular and young earth geologists agree on the essential aspects of the plate tectonics theory except and what two key points | 1. When the tectonic plate movements occurred. 2. How long they took to happen |
| According to secular geologists what kind of land masses formed again and again as continental plates came together and separated throughout earths history | Supercontinents |
| How long from start to finish or flood waters on the earth? | Floodwaters were on the earth for 314 days (Genesis 8:13) |
| (True or false) the nebula hypothesis correctly predicts the presence of heavy elements like iron lead and uranium in the earth’s crust | False |
| (True or false) geologists assume that the earth’s magnetic field has always pointed in the same direction throughout earth’s history | False |
| (True or False) The Bible narrative of the Ice Age is Found in Genesis 11-13 | False |
