Stupid desperate young earth creationists trying to spread utter misinformation and undermine science: the Bible refutes their lies.
http://blogs.answersingenesis.org/blogs ... Ken+Ham%29 "When we start with the Bible we know that we live on a young Earth that was radically reshaped by a massive catastrophe, the global Flood. The Flood and its aftermath explain many of the geologic features we see today...
... The global Flood of Noah’s day and its aftermath formed the perfect conditions for many of the geological features that we see around us today. There is no need to appeal to millions of years to explain features such as this waterfall and canyon in Iceland or the Grand Canyon or any other geologic feature...".

"Evolution's True Believers circle the wagons when someone shows flaws in their "the present is the key to the past" paradigm, and insist that long-term gradual processes are true. This happens despite observed evidence. not because of it ...". (A classic strawman attack on real geology - by a serial hypocritical liar who is today spewing this on Georgia Purdom's Facebook page: "Naturally, anti-creationists will use straw man arguments to say that creationists are anti-science. This is based on the fallacy of equivocation, and when they've been shown their fallacy and contrary evidence, they resort to blatant untruths to support their bigotry. Imagine, telling a scientist who is a creationist that s/he is "anti-science". What do they think you're doing, reading tea leaves?" Sorensen MAY be pretending to refute my post HERE though he dare not link to it if so because he obviously cannot refute it at all but he wishes to convince foolish or dishonest people that he can 'always' refute anybody he disagrees with:

https://www.facebook.com/GeorgiaPurdomHam's colleague Purdom links to this article and gushes:
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/20 ... 161429.htm"I love this quote from the article: "We think of natural environments as being formed over thousands of years, but sometimes they are shaped very suddenly. This insight into one of Iceland's magnificent landscapes helps us better understand these processes, and illustrates their legacy." Yes, exactly! A lot of water can cause a lot of change in a short period of time. Like we see all over the world as a result of Noah's Flood."
So WHAT are all these cherry picking YEC anti-science ideologues getting so excited about (or faking excitement about for the benefit of their clueless and indoctrinated followers - if they are not quite as stupid as they appear)?
Just THIS:
http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2015/ ... 3112.short'Erosion during extreme flood events dominates Holocene canyon evolution in northeast Iceland.'
"... The erosive signature of these events is maintained within a dynamic landscape over millennial timescales, emphasizing the importance of episodic extreme events in shaping landscapes."(See 'Significance'.)
WHICH ONE OF THESE EPISODIC EXTREME EVENTS WAS DURING 'NOAH'S FLOOD', HAM, PURDOM, COPPEDGE, SORENSEN?
SILENCE. NO ANSWER.
(I think YEC-types 'like' Iceland. It's 'young'. Well compared to most of the rest of the planet's land surfaces, anyway.

PS OOPS IV'E JUST READ TODAY'S SMALL PRINT FROM THE LIARS AT ANSWERS IN GENESIS, WITHIN THE HAM BLOG, HOT OFF THE PRESS FROM THAT PURVEYOR OF PSEUDO-SCIENTIFIC CLAPTRAP ANDREW SNELLING. AND GUESS WHAT - THIS ICELANDIC CANYON WAS NOT, I REPEAT NOT, FORMED BY NOAH'S FLOOD AFTER ALL! WHAT A BOMBSHELL. WELL ON THAT WE CAN ALL AGREE.
THEY HAVE FINALLY REALISED - DESPITE THE LOOSE WORDS OF PURDOM ON 11 FEBRUARY - THAT THIS SCIENTIFIC PAPER PROVIDES NOT THE SLIGHTEST EVIDENCE AT ALL FOR 'NOAH'S FLOOD'. BECAUSE, AS I POINTED OUT WHEN I FIRST SAW IT, THEY WOULD HAVE TO DECIDE EXACTLY WHICH 'EXTREME EVENT' CAUSED BY NOAH'S FLOOD ACTUALLY FORMED THE ICELANDIC CANYON:
viewtopic.php?f=18&t=3153&p=50182&hilit=purdom&sid=8ff6248c8e30682ac526ed0f94d55b60#p50182 (my post on 15 February)
THUS SNELLING AND HAM ARE NOW LYING: "THIS CANYON AND WATERFALL IN ICELAND WERE CARVED AFTER THE ICE AGE, THE ONE SHORT ICE AGE THAT OCCURRED AFTER THE GENESIS FLOOD."
NO. THESE PEOPLE'S UTTER GARBAGE IS REFUTED BY THE BIBLE ITSELF!. APART FROM THE SIMPLE FACT THAT THERE WAS NEVER ANY 'ICE AGE' WITHIN THE PAST 4,500 YEARS. BUT GENESIS REFUTES ALL NOTIONS OF SUCH AN EPISODE. LOOK AT GENESIS CHAPTER 8 VERSE 22. ITS CONTENTS 'CONDEMN' THESE LIARS AS PEOPLE WHO TWIST OR IGNORE SCRIPTURE IN A DESPERATE BID TO MAKE SCRIPTURE 'REFUTE' WHAT THEY THINK IS 'BAD SCIENCE' (ESSENTIALLY ONLY 'BAD' BECAUSE IT DESTROYS THEIR BIBLE THEOLOGY).
IF GOD WAS GOING TO SEND AN ICE AGE AFTER THE FLOOD, WHY DID HE NOT WARN THAT SUCH AN EPISODE WOULD FOLLOW THE COLOSSAL 'JUDGEMENT' OF THE FLOOD. INSTEAD OF PROMISING THAT "SEEDTIME AND HARVEST, COLD AND HEAT" ETC WOULD 'NEVER' CEASE?
THESE PEOPLE ARE LYING CULTISTS WHO ABSOLUTELY HATE SCIENCE BECAUSE IT PROVES THEIR DELUSIONS WRONG - AND THEY LOVE THEIR DELUSIONS REGARDLESS. AND WANT TO SIMILARLY INDOCTRINATE ALL OTHER CHRISTIANS. IF THEY WERE HONEST THEY WOULD ACKNOWLEDGE THAT REAL 'ICE AGES' DID TAKE PLACE LONG BEFORE THE HYPOTHETICAL RECENT DATE OF NOAH'S FLOOD. BUT THEY ARE NOT AND THEY WON'T - EVEN THOUGH THEIR ARGUMENTS ARE EASILY SHREDDED (THOUGH THEY WILL NEVER EVER ADMIT THIS BECAUSE THEY LOVE THEIR 'YOUNG EARTH' DELUSION - OOPS I'VE ALREADY SAID THAT). .
ICE AGES ARE NOT CAUSED BY BIBLICAL 'WORLDWIDE FLOODING', NOR BY UNBIBLICAL MASSIVE UNDERSEA VOLCANISM DURING SUCH A 'WORLDWIDE FLOOD'. THEY HAVE BEEN LONG-LASTING AND DURING THE PAST 3 MILLION YEARS OR SO HIGHLY CYCLICAL. UNLIKE THE SAID 'WORLDWIDE FLOOD' WHICH DID NOT REPEAT ITSELF (NOR OCCUR EVEN ONCE AT THE TIME THE YECS CLAIM).
SO. EVEN MORE SILENCE FROM THESE HYPOCRITICAL DECEITFUL FUNDAMENTALIST CHRISTIANS.
WHO WILL THEN REPEAT THEIR LIES LATER ON AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED.
BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO REAL TRUTH BEHIND THEIR SCIENCEY CLAIMS. ABSOLUTELY NONE. SO THE LIES FOR THE 'TRUTH' WILL HAVE TO DO.
IF HAM AND PURDOM TRULY 'LOVED' SCIENCE AS THEY PROTEST THAT THEY DO THEY WOULD BE TEACHABLE AND OPEN-MINDED IN THE FACE OF THE EVIDENCE. BUT ...
KEN HAM - DOESN'T DO WHAT IT SAYS ON THE TIN. CLAIMS TO BE A 'LOVER' OF SCIENCE. BUT IN REALITY HE IS ANTI-SCIENCE. AND PROUD."
