In addition, [[Young Earth creationist]] scientists point out that [[catastrophism]] is increasingly being accepted in the field of geology. <ref>Roth, 1985; Morris, 1976</ref> | + | Young Earth creationist scientists use a geological system that more heavily relies on [[catastrophism]] and reject the uniformitarian assumptions behind the dates derived by secular geologists, and thus reject these dates.
