Arid to Semiarid, Savanna Type Climates

Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.

(Exodus 3:1) KJV

The paleoenvironments of the periods of geological history that we’re seen so far include a statement about climate as a way to rationalize why so much sediment would be eroded, transported and deposited.

Peer Review

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.

(2 Timothy 4:3-4) NKJV

We have considered the dubious nature of the Great Permian Contrivance. The Permian, and its supposed date millions of years ago, isn’t a testable hypothesis, so it’s not, technically, scientific.

Earth in Upheaval

Hardened lava flows around a volcano

Then Job answered and said, I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God? If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand. He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered? Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger. Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.

(Job 9:1-6) KJV

Earth in Upheaval is the name of a book by Immanuel Velikovsky which lays out his summary of the evidence for cataclysmic upheavals in the history of Earth.

Which Ice Age?

From whose womb comes the ice? And the frost of heaven, who gives it birth? The waters harden like stone, And the surface of the deep is frozen.

(Job 38:29-30) NKJV

When we refer to ice ages we usually mean the “recent” ice age that ended supposedly 10,000 years ago. In the popular science narrative (SciPop) this was the last of several retreats and advances of polar ice over the last 10,000-40,000 years.

Extensive Glaciation in Southern Hemisphere

From whose womb comes the ice? And the frost of heaven, who gives it birth? The waters harden like stone, And the surface of the deep is frozen.

(Job 38:29-30) NKJV

Creationists don’t seem to grasp the concept that Noah’s flood and Peleg’s tectonics are separate events, and they don’t seem to have a coherent answer to the question: “where did the flood waters go?

Uplift in Appalachian Geosyncline

Comparison of Earth before and after Peleg's tectonics.

The mountains quake before Him, The hills melt, And the earth heaves at His presence, Yes, the world and all who dwell in it.

(Nahum 1:5) NKJV

Uplift in Appalachian geosyncline” took place when the tectonic plates formed in the time of Peleg. This was 101 years after Noah’s flood. The popular science narrative (SciPop) has millions of years to fill up and so it pads out the narrative by using geographic locations as separate events in time.

Cooler and Drier Climates

My brothers have dealt deceitfully like a brook, Like the streams of the brooks that pass away, Which are dark because of the ice, And into which the snow vanishes. When it is warm, they cease to flow; When it is hot, they vanish from their place.

(Job 6:15-16) NKJV

The paleoenvironments of Periods of the geological timescale are dependent on warm climates, humidity and increased precipitation when they represent the erosion, transportation and deposition of sediment.

The Origin of Abundant Diversification

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

(Isaiah 5:20) NKJV

Origin of reptiles, diversification of amphibians. Insects abundant.” Here we can see how doublespeak is used to establish the premise that the evolution narrative envisions the development from simple to complex.
