According to evolutionists, when comets hit Earth billions of years ago, they pelted the planet too fast and too steep for them to have delivered fragile organic molecules, according to a new study. Using advances in computer simulations, a University of Cambridge-led team of researchers ran scenarios of comet strikes, comet interactions with an atmosphere, and gravity's influence on comet movements through space to determine whether they could have brought the chemical ingredients for life to Earth. Rather than look at a bunch of important molecules, the researchers focused on one in particular: hydrogen cyanide, or HCN. Made of one hydrogen, one carbon, and one nitrogen atom, it's a simple molecule commonly carried on comets. They found that the immense heat would have literally vaporized most of those molecules on impact, challenging a theory on the origins of life that has existed for about a century. Even in the rare case that HCN survived a crash to Earth, it would not have come in large enough quantities, said Richard Anslow, lead author of the paper, which appears in the journal Scientific Reports. "It would really have to be a one-in-a-million occurrence," said Anslow, a Cambridge astronomer, in a statement. "We can't rule out for certain that it happened that way. But it seems to be a really rare occurrence — at best, a one-off fluke." This is another case where scientists discover experimentally that their own theory fails them despite their desperate desire to verify an evolutionary claim. In addition, Doug and Rich discuss the claim that a meteorite discovered four years ago in the Sahara Desert is from Mars and is dated 4.1 billion years old. They used Rubidium-Strontium dating. Rubidium is a relatively rare element and is an alkali metal that forms ions soluble in water. Strontium is on the other hand quite abundant and forms ions that are stronger bonding and less soluble in water. The assumption is that all of the Strontium found in the sample came from radioactive Rubidium and that no differential leaching occurred. Given these assumptions, it is no surprise that a deep time date is the result.

The books "Persuaded by the Evidence" and "Transformed by the Evidence" were the result of a Creation Research Society project to document the testimonies of leading creation scientists. The first book came out in 2008 and the purpose was to pinpoint what scientific evidence caused them to change their minds about evolution. "Transformed by the Evidence" took the concept to the next level, where we identified the spiritual transformation that took place as the result of surrendering the entire worship of science to the Lord Jesus Christ. These stories show that God is at work in the hearts of His people, and although making these decisions may have cost them quite a bit in peer prestige and even loss of job, the result was satisfaction the they were making the right choice. "Transformed by the Evidence" has been published as a second edition after being out of print for a few years.

The polystrate fossil trees at Joggins are upright, in‑place fossilized trunks—mostly lycopsids like Sigillaria and Lepidodendron—that extend vertically through multiple sedimentary layers in the Carboniferous Joggins Formation. They are one of the most famous and scientifically important examples of “standing fossil forests” anywhere on Earth, preserved along the Bay of Fundy’s rapidly eroding cliffs. Polystrate fossils are organisms—often trees—that span several distinct sedimentary layers. At Joggins, these upright trunks penetrate coal seams, shales, and sandstones assigned to the Pennsylvanian period, ~318–313 million years old by evolutionary estimates. Their preservation requires rapid burial, because a standing tree would decay or fall if exposed for long periods. Geological studies show that Joggins was a deltaic coastal floodplain with frequent flooding, subsidence, and sediment pulses that repeatedly buried forest floors. The Joggins fossils are evidence for rapid burial. Creationists contend that the rapid burial occurred during the flood of Noah and it was worldwide. The Joggins cliffs are tilted toward the west, representing 18,000 feet of strata that accumulated, sunk as a plate and then sheared off horizontally on top. Representations of these layers also can be viewed on Cape Breton Island and in Newfoundland.

This part of the Global Flood Summit is divided into two parts investigating Dr Walt Brown’s Hydroplate Theory. The first discusses several of the accurate predictions that Dr Brown made based on the theory and the second investigates the Biblical support for the theory. Due to time constraints we can only take a rather brief look at both of these subjects but I believe that if these two subjects are both taken into account they lend a high level of credibility to this theory. Regarding predictions, a legitimate theory allows us to predict unusual and seemingly unrelated things if we look in the right places and make the right measurements. Thus, the ability of a good theory to produce accurate and verifiable predictions is a powerful evidence of a robust and scientifically sound theory. Dr Brown made around 61 predictions regarding the Hydroplate Theory and many of them have been confirmed to be accurate. We take a brief look at several of these confirmed predictions including those made regarding the composition of asteroids, the origin of comets and asteroids, that large volumes of saltwater would be found beneath major mountains globally and several others. Also, it would be also of extreme importance that the HPT is consistent with the Bible. During this section we take a look into a number of verses of scripture that confirm the major assumption of the Hydroplate Theory: when the Earth was initially created there was approximately half of the Earth's water trapped beneath the Earth's crust and half of the Earth's water was on the Earth's surface. This arrangement is first described in Genesis 1:6 on day two of Creation and there are many other passages that also describe this and are consistent with this original created condition. In addition other passages also describe what would have occurred when the fountains of the great deep burst forth and the flood began as described in Genesis 7 and beyond. Hopefully this presentation will lead some of to investigate the theory further and decide for yourself if this theory is a valid explanation for the Global Flood and if it is consistent with scripture. I believe that if you do you will be as amazed and as greatly rewarded by what you will discover as I was!
