According to [[Ariel R. Roth]], former director of the Geoscience Institute, a paraconformity (sometimes called a unconformity) occurs "when two different parallel layers from different parts of the [[geological column]] is missing in the layers." <ref>http://www.grisda.org/georpts/36.pdf</ref> Young earth creationists see paraconformities as a serious challenge to the old earth [[uniformitarian]] [[geology]] [[paradigm]]. <ref>http://www.grisda.org/georpts/36.pdf</ref><ref>http://www.grisda.org/2003-FSC-open/Roth-RecentCreation.htm</ref><ref>http://www.seeking-god.co.uk/id188.htm</ref>

"Potentially more important to geological thinking are those unconformities that signal large chunks of geological history are missing, even though the strata on either side of the unconformity are perfectly parallel and show no evidence of erosion. Did millions of years fly by with no discernible effect? A possible though controversial inference is that our geological clocks and stratigraphic concepts need working on." William R. Corliss, Unknown Earth (Glen Arm, Maryland: The Sourcebook Project, 1980), p. 219. <ref>http://www.cs.unc.edu/~plaisted/ce/flood.html</ref>

Young earth creationists see paraconformities as a serious challenge to the old earth [[uniformitarian]] [[geology]] [[paradigm]]. <ref>http://www.grisda.org/georpts/36.pdf</ref><ref>http://www.grisda.org/2003-FSC-open/Roth-RecentCreation.htm</ref><ref>http://www.seeking-god.co.uk/id188.htm</ref>
