Extensive geological evidence demonstrates the Himalayas rose to its present height in the age of historical man. It can be demonstrated that the mountain chains of the Caucasus, China, Tibet, Rockies, Alps and Andes all rose to their present heights in more recent historical times.

In South America at a height of over 3000 metres, a curious whitish streak runs along the side of a mountain range for over 500 kilometres. It is composed of the calcified remains of marine plants. This shows that these slopes were once part of the seashore.

Many lakes high up in the Andes are completely salt.

One such lake is Titicaca.

A watermark of salt along the lake shore now runs at an angle to the water level. Originally it must have been horizontal. Clearly the land was not only thrust up to its present altitude, but was tilted in the process. On the beach of this lake high in the mountains, there are seashells as well as traces of seaweed. The lake must have once been a bay or inlet of the sea.

Even today, sea horses survive in the lake.

Today this almost sterile region is capable of sustaining only a scant population. Yet here we are confronted with a colossal mystery. Traces of a huge city lie at the southern side of the lake.

Similarly at the ruins of Tiahuanaco, in Bolivia, it is obvious that a great city once existed here. At an altitude of 4000 metres, endless agricultural terraces, now abandoned, rise as high as 5500 metres above sea level, and continue up under the snow to some unidentified altitude. Today nothing agricultural grows at these elevations.

The city ruins include an ocean quay. It suggests that the city, when built, was at sea level, with vast docks and an enormous harbour.

Today this sea harbour is at an elevation of 4000 metres and 300 kilometres inland!

To me this suggests some pre-modern history major geological event that is yet to be fully explored and scientifically answered.

Food for thought

Dan. Interesting that Biblical Geology has no connections to the normal evidence based Geology. Like intelligent design and other untenable theories the "evidence" does not stand up to scrutiny.
These sorts of pseudo-scientific oddities rely on an audience that wants to believe and extreme cherry picking (if data is actually referred to!).
One of the strengths of science is that separate lines of study often reinforce each other. Biology agrees with geology agrees with chemistry, etc. Telling a biologist the evolution is wrong is like telling a computer programmer that the C language does not exist. Telling a geologist that Australia, one of the oldest continents, formed in human history is "not even wrong"...it is simply absurd.
Keep an open mind...but not so open that your brains fall out!

Perhaps instead of trying to understand the nature of Reality by referring to the archaic myths of a presumed "great flood", the author should really consider the all-inclusive revolutionary cultural implications of Einstein's famous E=MC2 equation.

An equation that, properly understood, tells us that ALL of this is/are never ending patterns of always changing indestructible Primal Energy or Conscious Light.

Its time for Christian theologians to listen to Christians who are working in the science sector.
Clean the theological wax out of thine ears 'yeah verily'... and listen to someone who has studied science, and is qualified to speak on scientific matters, who also holds a Biblical world view. I dare you to punch in the above link... if your an honest inquirer and get your biblical worldview on, perhaps even adjusted to fit the biblical narrative, who know, stranger things have happen in history.
Blessings, to thee and thine. Yeah verily. Rock on!

>>For one geologist’s approach to Biblical geology, I would invite you to the website of Tas Walker.<<

That's a pretty funny website Dan. XD

Not as funny as this one:

But a lot easier to read.

It doesn't tell us anything of the sort. It tells us energy equals mass times the speed of light squared. A proper understanding of this equation will not tell you anything about Primal Energy or Conscious Light because those are spiritualist gobbledygook and not meaningful physical concepts.

Why is it always E=MC2 that the nutters so comically misunderstand? Don't they like any of the other equations? Why don't Boltzmann's entropy formula or the Schrodinger equation or Einstein's field equations ever get a look in? I think they'd be ripe with potential for rampant fruit-loopery.

James Dwight Dana speaking the truth to uni students in the 1800's

"Young men as you face scientific problems, remember that I, an old man, who have known only science all my life say to you there is nothing truer in the universe than the scientific statements in the word of God."

Nothing has changed especially when you get to read the idiotic alternatives given by pseudo science to beginnings. Creation faith is far more rational than the faith needed for other idiotic explantions. Every honest scientist must blush everytime they see the created world.
