The Fallacies of Radioactive Dating of Rocks
by Dr. Andrew A. Snelling on June 28, 2006; a 4 minute read Deep in the eastern Grand Canyon, Arizona, is a stacked sequence of “ancient” basalt lava flows known by geologists as the Cardenas Basalt (Figures 1 and 2). Continue reading at answersingenesis.org.
Radiometric Dating: Making Sense of the Patterns
by Dr. Andrew A. Snelling on January 1, 2010; a 3 minute read Radiometric dating methods sometimes yield conflicting results, but the technique itself is scientific and reliable, and once the results are interpreted in a biblical framework, they yield clear patterns that help us better understand the earth’s history since creation six thousand years ago. Continue reading at answersingenesis.org.
Radiometric Dating: Problems with the Assumptions
by Dr. Andrew A. Snelling on October 1, 2009; a 3 minute read Radiometric dating is often used to “prove” rocks are millions of years old. Once you understand the basic science, however, you can see how wrong assumptions lead to incorrect dates. Continue reading at answersingenesis.org.

Fossilized Footprints–A Dinosaur Dilemma
by Dr. Andrew A. Snelling on October 1, 2010; a 2 minute read Cool! dinosaur tracks! How can today’s slow-and-gradual geologic processes over millions of years explain the preservation of delicate impressions in mud before they are washed away? Does the Flood provide a better explanation? Continue reading at answersingenesis.org.
Order in the Fossil Record
by Dr. Andrew A. Snelling on January 1, 2010; a 3 minute read Some creationists believe that the geological column is a figment of evolutionists’ imagination. Yet by visiting places like the Grand Canyon—Grand Staircase region, you can literally climb through the rock layers and see the sequence and patterns of the layers firsthand. The rock layers are real and can be explained within the biblical framework of earth history. Continue reading at answersingenesis.org.
Chalk It Up to a Global Flood
by Dr. Andrew A. Snelling on June 19, 2016; a 3 minute read At today’s rate of ocean-floor buildup, chalk layers would take millions of years to form. How do creationists explain them? Continue reading at answersingenesis.org.
