Deep-Time Geology Losing its Impact
When it comes to geology, secular scientists are frequently revising the assigned ages of phenomena. Things are often "younger than previously thought", and the changes are often quite drastic. Although they deny the power of the Genesis Flood, secularists are forced to realize that they were underestimating the power of water.
Apparently, geologists still struggle with the origin of plate tectonics. Instead of considering creation science models, they invoke impacts from extraterrestrial objects. They like to use impacts to "explain" many things. Also, big landslides on Mars travel farther than expected, so odd speculation is involved. These things smack of desperation to cling to deep time and deny recent creation and the Flood.

Get with the times: fast, rapid, dynamic forces and theory revisions.Scientists have trouble learning about events in human history, let alone unobserved, unrecorded history. For instance, six researchers writing in PNAS say that previous estimates of death tolls from plagues in the time of Emperor Justinian (541 to 750 CE) are way off. The plague was nowhere near as catastrophic as most writers have long assumed. If this wrong about history with written records to draw from, how wrong could geologists be about events assumed to be hundreds of times as old with no eyewitnesses?
