As a way of simplifying yesterday's rambling entry I offer the following comparison of two meteorite impact craters. The first, Victoria Crater, is from Mars and the second, Amguid Crater, is in Algeria, Africa. Let's compare the features and then ask if they can help us to evaluate the current young earth geology models and... Continue Reading →
Kamil Meteor Crater: A “Young” Impact on Earth Compared to Craters on Mars
Kamil Meteorite crater is a recently discovered crater in Egypt which is an example of a very young crater on earth. What can Kamil Crater tell us about the origin of craters not only on Earth but also on other Planets? And what does this tell us about the age of the Earth and those other planets?
The Sliding Rocks of Racetrack Playa – A Geological Who-Done-It Mystery
I love interesting geological puzzles that many mysterious landforms and features present to us. Below are a few images of a landscape that show large rocks sitting on a flat, dry, lake bed. Notably there are what appear to be skid marks in the dry lake sediments leading to each rock. This should make anyone scratch... Continue Reading →

In that post I mentioned one of the explanations by flood geologists (ie. young earth creationists) for the presence of fossilized dinosaur eggs in the fossil record is that dinosaurs somehow escaped the initial stages of...
