I extend my apologies to you all for being delinquent in my updates. This past week has been very busy, but more will be posted this weekend. The next installment in our worldviews series will also be posted in the very near future, so check back often. Today's EFD will be about parallel strata. The sedimentary layers observed in such locations as the Grand Canyon are typically parallel to adjacent layers. Now this raises an interesting environmental question. If erosion cut layers into the soils in times past as erosion does today, then would it not be reasonable to presume that there should be observable erosion evidence, carved by "millions and millions" of years of depositing? This is not the case, however, in almost every place in the world. This leads to the conclusion that the layers of sediments were deposited before they had a chance to erode enough to cut deep grooves. As a result, it did not take millions and millions of years to deposit the layers, meaning that the earth is not as old as modern scientists like to think it is. A big hole in evolutionary theory? I'd say so.
