(Life Sciences): THE THEORY OF ORGANIC EVOLUTION IS INVALID. (See 1-36.) II. (Astronomical Sciences): THE UNIVERSE, THE SOLAR SYSTEM, AND LIFE WERE RECENTLY CREATED. A. NATURALISTIC EXPLANATIONS FOR THE EVOLUTION OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM AND UNIVERSE ARE UNSCIENTIFIC AND HOPELESSLY INADEQUATE. (See 37-56.) B. TECHNIQUES THAT ARGUE FOR AN OLD EARTH ARE EITHER ILLOGICAL OR ARE BASED ON UNREASONABLE ASSUMPTIONS. 66. In rock formations in Utah [a], Kentucky [b], Missouri [c], and possibly Pennsylvania [d] human-like FOOTPRINTS that are supposedly 150-600 million years old have been found and examined by different authorities. There appears to be a drastic error in chronology. a) Melvin A. Cook, ''William J.

Since there is no worldwide unconformity in the earth's sedimentary strata, the entire geologic record must have been deposited rapidly. (An UNCONFORMITY is an erosional surface between two adjacent rock formations representing a time break of unknown duration.) CONFORMITIES imply a continuous and rapid deposition. Since one can trace a continuous path from the bottom to the top of the geologic record that avoids these unconformities, the sediments along that path must have been deposited continuously [a]. a) Henry M.
