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.

Global Warming

For a fire is kindled in My anger, And shall burn to the lowest hell; It shall consume the earth with her increase, And set on fire the foundations of the mountains.

(Deuteronomy 32:22) NKJV

And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged.

(Genesis 8:1) KJV

As the waters abated after Noah’s flood there was significant global cooling which caused equatorial and polar glaciation. There were temperate zones in the Northern and Southern hemisphere.

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.

Mosses, Lycopods, Sphenopsids

So the Light of Israel will be for a fire, And his Holy One for a flame; It will burn and devour His thorns and his briers in one day. And it will consume the glory of his forest and of his fruitful field, Both soul and body; And they will be as when a sick man wastes away.

(Isaiah 10:17-18) NKJV

“Mosses, lycopods, sphenopsids, ferns, seed ferns and cordaites.” The next part of the description we have of the Pennsylvanian is a laundry list of plant kinds which sounds like an ecosystem or habitat, not a period of time.

Sharks and Bony Fish

So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.”

(Genesis 1:21-22) NKJV

Sedimentary deposits containing sharks and bony fish can be assigned to the Mississippian because of how the evolution narrative, of development from primitive to advanced, overlays with the geological timescale.
