Wave Rock and the Genesis Flood

If any of y'all are down in southeast 'Straya way near Perth, you might want to saddle up and head east for a bit. There is an area that is interesting to geologists called Hyden Rock, and a fascinating part of that is Wave Rock. It may remind some people of the huge waves that surfers like, but it is challenging both to secular and biblical creation geologists.

I'll tell you flat out that Flood geology has a reasonable explanation as to how Wave Rock was formed, but I'll allow that a bit more research needs to be done. Secularists cannot adequately explain sedimentary depositions spanning huge areas, even entire continents, nor can they explain inselbergs. It is interesting that tribes in the area have said that the Rainbow Serpent made this by dragging along after guzzling all the water. A creation science model involves the catastrophic deluge depositing huge amounts of sediment, then the runoff of the water causing unique landforms.

The geological map for Hyden2 (figure 2) shows that there are dozens of such granite outcrops in the area. These persist for more than 100 km across that sheet (SI-50-04), and the granite has been interpreted as extending more than 6 km below ground. In other words, these granite outcrops are like tiny tips on an enormous ‘iceberg’.

This granite is part of a huge area of Western Australia called the Yilgarn Craton (figure 3), an old part of the earth’s continental crust that has been relatively stable since the Precambrian. It formed early in Noah’s Flood. The Yilgarn Craton extends some 800 km east to west and 1,000 km north to south. It is composed mostly of crystalline rocks such as granite and gneiss, but with large belts of other metamorphosed rocks including rich gold-bearing greenstone belts.
