In 1770 George Buffonsaid the earth was 70,000years old.—Integrated Principals ofZoology 1996 P.151.In 1905 the age of the earthwas officially 2billion yearsold. Newsweek July 20, 1998p. 50. Today students aretaught it is 4.6 billion yearsold. That means the earth hasbeen getting older at the rateof 21 million years per yearfor the last 220 years! That’s40 years/min! We are agingfast!“In the six hundredth year ofNoah’s life in the secondmonth, the seventeenth day ofthe month, the same day wereall the fountains of the greatdeep broken up, and thewindows of heaven wereopened”—Genesis7:11“In the beginning of change,the patriot is ascarce man,and brave and hated andscorned. When his causesucceeds, the timid join him,for then it costs nothing to beapatriot.”—Mark Twain9. Q:A:layers is annual, and this is, obviously, notthecase.Numerous experiments havebeen doneon the formation.You can take asection of Green River formation and grind itto powder, drop itintomovingwater anditwillresortitselfinto many fine layers. It has been shown that thelayers arenotannual atall. Thereareplaces in this formation whereover 1500 layers arefoundin someareas and only 1000 inothers, allbetween the same twoash layers called “eventhorizons.” See Creation MagazineJune-Aug. 1997.

If itgoes less than this it willfallback down. This speed is known as the escapevelocity ofearth. If aplanet has stronger gravity, theescape velocity willbeeven greater.The theory behind ablackhole is theidea thatif enoughmassis in onelocation, thegravity would besogreatthattheescapevelocity would be186,000 miles per second sothateven light could not escape. This, of course, is assuming thatlight can beeffected by gravity. Noone has ever seen ablackholesincenolightcould escapeoneif it existed.The problem black holes aresupposed to fix is this: if the bigbangtheory were true, thematter should beevenly distributedin space. Sincematter is notevenly distributed in space(we haveclumps of matter calledgalaxies then zillions ofmiles ofnothingbetween) thebelievers in thebigbangtheoryare tryingtoexplain why. They aretrying to say: “Thereismatter in between the clumps butwecan’t seeit becauseitisin blackholes.” Actually, they arearguing from alackofevidence notfromevidence. This is apoor position tobeinwhen trying to prove your case in acourt of law.Idon’t know ifblack holes existor not, but their existenceisnotproven.10. Q:A:What abouttheMars rock; is/was therelife on Mars?Lifedoes notexist on Mars. Thepurposeof theMars rockhype afew years ago was tohelp NASA getits grant moneywhichhas been stalledin Congress. They mustfind somethingimportantwithallthe billions they spend. The rock hadbeen found7years earliernear the South Pole. It arrived13,000 years ago, accordingtoNASA: In 13,000 years it couldeasilyhave becomecontaminatedwithEarth life. Or, inpassingthroughthe 200 mile thickEarth atmosphere, therock could havebecome contaminated.Also, therock’s supposed Mars origin is suspect.
