About this episode

Welcome to the fifth episode in a series called “The Failures of Old Earth Creationism.” Many Christians attempt to fit old earth ideology into their beliefs, adopting uniformitarian or evolutionary pieces into their worldview. While this is often done in an effort to appeal to science, it can cause major logical,

scientific, and theological issues.   A geological phenomenon known as the Great Unconformity exists all across the world. This erosional surface presents a problem to uniformitarian scientists and old-earth creationists alike. Where did it come from? How is it so remarkably smooth? What could cause an erosional surface to such a global extent?   In today’s episode we’ll take a look at the Great Unconformity and unravel the mysteries within the rocks.   Join host Renée Dusseau and Dr. Timothy Clarey as they discuss this topic on episode 97 of The Creation Podcast.   --- Join ICR's YouTube channel to get access to perks Join us on Patreon ... More...
