Steve Austin provides an overview of the events of the 1980 volcanic eruption and subsequent mud flows. He explains how geologic processes associated with the volcano and its aftermath can teach us about even larger catastrophic processes that occurred during the global flood.
Steve Austin explains what happened at Spirit Lake during and after the eruption. Millions of trees were knocked into the lake to create a floating log mat, which in turn produced a thick layer of peat and the appearance of a stratified forest.
Steve Austin explores part of the Grand Staircase, the thick stack of rock layers which are visible as sets of parallel cliffs above the Grand Canyon. He explains that the history of the world is best viewed through a Flood geology model as a five-step process: sedimentation, tectonics, erosion, volcanoes, and exponential decline. Steve then talks briefly about his experience as a creationist geologist.
Steve Austin explains the history of the rock strata from creation week to the present day, then discusses the conventional paradigm introduced by Charles Lyell and Charles Darwin. He takes Dr. Tackett to the Colorado River and talks about the catastrophic processes necessary to carve out such a deep canyon through thousands of feet of rock.
Steve Austin explains how the rock layers making up continent-wide megasequences are best explained by fast-moving slurry deposits caused during the Flood. He discusses how rapid sedimentation leads to large-scale erosion and deposition like we see in many places throughout the world such as the Great Unconformity.
Steve Austin visits a spectacular fossil bed within the Redwall Limestone in the Grand Canyon. The bed contains abundant nautiloids that appear to have been killed simultaneously. He and Del Tackett finish their trip to the Grand Canyon discussing how the huge layers of rocks are a memorial to God's global judgment.
Marcus Ross gives a tour of the fossil record from the lowest Paleozoic layers up through the highest Cenozoic layers. He explains how the fossil record generally moves from deep marine creatures to terrestrial creatures, revealing how different communities were captures during the global flood.
Marcus Ross discusses how the fossil record fits with the history recorded in Genesis. Abundant marine fossils on the continents and the appearance of animal trackways before body fossils are best explained by a global flood. He then examines how design can be seen in fossil organisms from complex trilobite eyes to Apatosaurus' feet to pterosaur flight.
Kurt Wise discusses why people can study nature without acknowledging the biblical truths of a recent creation and a global flood. He then describes the events of the five "epochs" of earth history: the Creation, the Edenian Epoch, the Antediluvian Epoch, the Arphaxadian Epoch, and the Modern Epoch.
Kurt Wise explores evidence for various catastrophic processes occurring during and after the global flood. These include major earth movements, ancient earthquakes, and mass kill fossil deposits. Kurt shows that these fossils are evidence of a unique pre-Flood environment which was completely destroyed by the Flood.
Kurt Wise goes into the air shaft of an old coal mine to explore the origin of coal. He explains how the conventional model of coal formation in swamps is insufficient for explaining the coal beds we actually see. He talks about research done by Steve Austin in terms of floating log mats.
Kurt Wise looks at plant fossils and explains how they are important to understanding the fossil record. He shows how the pre-Flood world would have had different unique biomes - such as floating forest - which explain the unique order of fossils laid down during the global flood.
A waterfall provides an informative location for Kurt Wise to discuss what the world was like after the Flood, from giant volcanoes, to animal dispersion, to the Ice Age. In closing, Kurt Wise and Del Tackett address why some believers doubt or refuse to accept the Genesis account of origins.
Larry Vardiman explains how the global flood set up the unique conditions necessary for an ice age to occur. He also discusses climate change and the reliability of ice core dating.
Art Chadwick shows Del Tackett his collection of over 20,000 fossils gathered from Hanson Ranch. These include fossils from Triceratops, Edmontosaurus, and Nanotyrannus. Art explains how fossils are formed and how they change from the top to the bottom of the Mesozoic rock layers. He also explains his unique findings in tracing paleocurrents from the global flood.
Art Chadwick explains how various aspects of the fossil record - including dinosaur footprints, death postures, and dinosaur eggs - fit with the idea of a global flood. He then talks about evolutionary trees and the complexity that is evident even in the fossils found in the lowest rock layers.
Andrew Snelling explains the principles of radioisotope dating as well as the assumptions necessary for these methods. He talks about why he thinks radioisotope decay was accelerated during the Flood and includes evidence from radiohalos and helium diffusion rates.
Andrew Snelling continues discussing radioisotope dating, including whether excess heat would be a problem for accelerated decay rates. He then examines radiocarbon dating and how Carbon-14 has been found in coal, dinosaur bones, and diamonds.
Andrew Snelling explores how the scale of geologic processes, such as volcanic eruptions, was much larger in the past. He then shows how Catastrophic Plate Tectonics helps explain the geologic processes that caused the global flood.
Dr. Andrew Snelling discusses geological evidences for a young earth, including the large extent of rock layers, a lack of significant erosion between layers, and an absence of major bioturbation within layers. The Coconino Sandstone provides abundant evidence of underwater origin. He and Del Tackett end by discussing the nature of the geological column and how it was originally a creationist concept.
Todd Wood introduces the concept of 'created kinds' then talks about how that explains the origin of species we see in the world today.
Todd Wood discusses natural selection in light of animal designs, then looks at the evolutionary 'tree of life' versus the creationist 'orchard of life.'
Todd Wood compares the creationist view of the origin of flight with the evolutionary view, then explores mosaic of animals.
Todd Wood talks about the hominid fossil record and discusses different types of humans compared to non-human primates.
Kurt Wise explains how God created the world as a series of complex, interconnected, and mutual relationships that can be seen in plants, animals, and bacteria.
Kurt Wise shows how God has created the world to reveal His unique attributes, then talks about why science is such an important responsibility for Christians to pursue.
Stuart Burgess explores how God designed different parts of the planet during the first four days of creation, including the irreducible complexity in many systems and materials.
Stuart Burgess examines the unique features of birds, fish, and animals before looking at the amazing complexity of man.
Robert Carter explains how oceans are incredibly complex parts of God's creation, from ecosystems to genetics to internal structures.
Robert Carter compares creation and evolution, then looks at how genetics and design lead to unique types of species.
Robert Carter explores the four-dimensional genome, showing how it works on many different levels and how it is far more complex than any computer we have created.
Robert Carter provides an overview of how specific parts of the genome can be used for dating purposes, as well as how they point to our recent decent from just a few people.
Kevin Anderson explains the unique discovery of soft tissue from a triceratops horn, discusses questions about soft tissue, and considers what it means for creation and evolution.
