 Dr.
Andrew Snelling
Talk 1: Radiohalos: Evidence
of Accelerated Decay and Catastrophic Geological Processes
Talk 2: Radioisotope Dating of Rocks: Challenging an Icon
of Evolutionary Geology
Date: July 11th, 7:00pm
RMCF is privileged
to have Dr. Andrew Snelling from Answers
in Genesis as its July speaker.
Dr. Andrew Snelling, one of the world’s most respected Creation
Scientists specializing in geological studies, joined Answers in
Genesis in 2007 as the organization’s new director
of research, and also as a speaker for layperson and technical
audiences. The addition of Dr. Snelling has further confirmed AiG’s
effort to meet the highest standards in its research in Creation
studies.
Dr. Snelling, who spent considerable time serving as a consultant
in developing the AiG Creation Museum’s large flood-geology
room, becomes AiG’s first full-time Ph.D. in the field of
geology. Dr. Snelling earned his PhD degree in geology from the
University of Sydney in Australia.
Dr. Snelling has
extensive experience working in the mining industry in Australia.
One of his main areas of research has been the study of methods
used in dating rocks, a key area of research for groups like AiG,
which are convinced of a young age for the earth. Snelling’s
research, for example, has shown different radioisotope
dates on the same rock samples. In addition, Dr. Snelling’s
research has indicated that radioactive decay rates must
not have been constant in the past, citing the halos in
rock crystals, which clearly show radioactive decay was accelerated
sometime in the past.
Dr. Snelling’s
research has demonstrated that a global flood more than 4,300 years
ago explains most rock layers and fossil deposits found around the
world. Building from this foundation, Dr. Snelling has made predictions
as to what should be found if a catastrophic global flood actually
happened (e.g., the existence of extensive rock layers).
Dr. Snelling will
be speaking twice on Friday evening. His first talk is titled Radiohalos:
Evidence of Accelerated Decay and Catastrophic Geological Processes.
Radiohalos are rings of color formed around microscopic bits of
radioactive minerals in rock crystals. They are fossil evidence
of radioactive decay. “Squashed” Polonium-210
radiohalos indicate that Jurassic, Triassic, and Eocene
formations in the Colorado plateau were deposited within
months of one another, not hundreds of millions of years
apart as required by the conventional time scale.
His second talk
is titled Radioisotope Dating of Rocks: Challenging an Icon
of Evolutionary Geology. Radioisotope dating has been used
by the evolutions as the cornerstone of an old earth age and evolutionary
theory. Not so says Dr. Snelling. Come and see why Radioisotope
dating is not all its cracked up to be. You can pick up a DVD video
of his talks after the presentations. Bring your friends and enjoy
the Friday evening talks. There will be refreshments after the meeting
in our fellowship hall. Don’t miss it and see you there!
