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.

Equatorial Glaciation?

Then God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the animals that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.

(Genesis 8:1) NKJV

After Noah’s flood a wind caused the waters to evaporate. The cooling effect caused the formation of equatorial and polar ice. Temperate zones were in the mid-latitudes of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
