Scientific Evidence for a Young Earth by Russell Leitch (March-April, 1999)

Evolutionary measures of the earth's age do not agree with each other. In fact, many show the earth to be
young:
Decay of our magnetic field is at a rate which, if projected backward only 10,000 years, would approach that of a
magnetic star-an impossibility! (Dr. T. G.Barnes, University of Texas, El Paso, and ESSA Report IER 46 - LES 1,
US Government Printing Office, 1967, p.l).
At the rate meteoric dust falls on the moon it should be over 50 feet thick if it is 5 billion years old. But the
deepest depth is less than 20,000 years accumulation !
Influx of sediments into the oceans from rivers shows contradictory times for the beginning of these processes.
Lithium shows only 20,000,000 years, titanium only 160 years, chromium only 360 years, iron only 140, cobalt
18,0001 zinc 180,000 and bismuth just 45,000 years! See Chemical Oceanography. Ed. by J.P.Riley and G.
Skirrow, Academic Press, Vol. l, 1965, p.164.
Space studies are contradictory when based on evolutionary measures; decay lines of galaxies indicate they
have been decaying only 10,000,000 years. (See “Observational Paradoxes in Extragalactic Astronomy”
Science, Vol. 174, 1971. Efflux of oil from traps by fluid pressure indicates only 10,000 to 100,000 years. Decay
of natural remnant paleomagnetism shows only 100,000 years. Decay of C-14 in Precambrian wood points to
about 4,000 years. See Dr. Melvin A. Cook, Prehistory and Earth Models, London, Max Parish 1966. There are
many other divergent examples.
Further, if various layers of the earth have comprised the surface for many years why do we not find meteorites
and tektites in these layers? Why are there places on the earth such as the Grand Canyon where up to
500,000,000 years of strata (according to evolutionary measurement) are missing? No evidence of sliding off
somewhere, just not there; or what of the many examples of strata out of order with older upon younger and no
evidence of sliding? Why is fossil pollen and tree spores in strata supposedly 200 million years older than the
period when conifers were supposed to have evolved? Why can we find dinosaur and man tracks intermixed
when they were supposed to be separated by millions of years? (See Paluxy River near Glen Rose, Texas.)
Radioactive dating has shown humorous errors such as the measure of lava in Hualalai, Hawaii at up to 3 billion
years when it formed only 177 years prior! And, C 14 tests of fossils often contradict radioactive testing by
millions of years across the globe. LSI
