Large Igneous Provinces support Creation while Darwinists flail at Straw Men!

Today, a look at the lack of critical thinking in the world today and then the first a a few articles that show why Large Igneous Provinces are evidence for the Noahic Flood!

From Tony Breeden's Defending Genesis blog:

“We may be leaving an age of irony and entering an age of credulity. In a time of shortened attention spans and instant gratification, trained by web surfing and movies with an average shot length of seconds, we absorb rather than contemplate. We want to gobble all the food on the plate, instead of considering each bite. We accept rather than select.”

In other words, we have raised a generation of thoughtless information absorbers rather than thinkers, an age of fast-food learners who grab things off the bottom shelf like a toddler and drop one thing to pick up another.  Thus, a generation that can be easily fooled... and BOY have they been fooled!   Too many people with no desire to screen what they hear and read and see with logic and common sense, too many people who do not investigate what seems incredible.  

An Age of Credulity: Two More Drive-By Posts About the Ark Encounter Parrot the Same Old Lies

You know, I keep hearing that science is about facts and religion is about belief, so why is it that evolutionists cannot seem to get the facts about creationism right? Why don’t they bother to investigate and understand what they so vehemently oppose? Instead they repeat the same half-comprehended [or in some cases, just plain made up] misinformation to each other until they suppose it must be gospel truth.

Recently, columnist Mark Joseph Stern wrote a piece for Slate.com[which was picked up by Fairfax Media] in which he claimed, once again, that the Ark Encounter is being funded with our taxes [not true], that Creationists say that you’ll go to hell if you believe in evolution [pleeeeeeease], and as a value-added bonus that the Creation Museum is apparently on the brink of financial ruin [wishful thinking on his part]!

Along the lines of such non-thinking thinking?   Creation scientists  have know for years that Large Igneous Provinces are associated with the Noahic Flood event.  I have one commenter who is constantly just throwing out that phrase as if it somehow supported Darwinism.  It certainly does not!   

Here is one article about these formations and tomorrow I will provide at least two more.   Seems as if it is one thing to get done before I continue the fossil series so that Jon W will cease to use be able to mislead other readers.   Actually Jon is asking me to explain formations that are evidence against the idea of long ages and millions of years and for a Noahic flood.  So it is a bit puzzling but we begin with an area where (probably both Jon W and) I have done a fair amount of woods-tromping - The Pacific Northwest.

Field studies in the Columbia River basalt, Northwest USA

by John Woodmorappe & Michael J. Oard

Summary

The thick lava flows comprising the Columbia River Basalt Group (CRBG) in the US state of Washington, and adjacent parts of the state of Oregon, contain a significant number of pillow lavas and palagonites—all indicative of subaqueous extrusion. Individual lava flows invariably show ‘knifesharp’ contacts between flows, which is consistent with the flows occurring one after the other in rapid succession. The nature of these contacts is inconsistent with the uniformitarian time intervals of millions of years indicated by isotopic dating. Claimed ‘weathered horizons’ and ‘fossil soils’ between individual lava flows are very uncommon, suggesting they are the product of chemical reactions between the hot lava and water, not fossil-soil material. The observations are consistent with the lava flows being extruded catastrophically, emplaced rapidly and cooled quickly, all during the global Flood recorded in the Bible. Taken together, the features of the Columbia River basalts suggest that they were mostly extruded and emplaced during the Late Abative Phase of the Recessive Stage of the Flood.

Yes, seeking to use LIPS as evidence for Darwinism is much like using the recent findings of the Cassini Mission that have old-age Cosmologists scrambling for answers.   Hey, guys, try Genesis chapter one?
