Line 18: − + − Some young earth creationists assert that geological column does not exist and cite secular scientists who state the argumentation advocating the geological column involves circular reasoning. <ref>http://www.trueorigin.org/geocolumn.asp</ref><ref>http://iwhome.com/spiritualquest/tracts/dp-geol-.htm</ref> Young earth creationist scientists use a geological system that more heavily relies on [[Catastrophism|catastrophism]] and reject the [[uniformitarianism (science)|uniformitarian]] assumptions behind the dates derived by secular geologists, and thus reject these dates. In addition, young earth creationist scientists point out that catastophism is increasing being accepted in the field of geology. <ref>http://www.grisda.org/origins/12061.htm</ref><ref>http://www.icr.org/index.php?module=articles&action=print&ID=84</ref> In addition, young earth creationists also assert that old earth uniformitarian geology has numerous [[Anomaly|anomalies]]. For example, these young earth creationists cite the work of [[William R. Corliss]] who catalogued scores of anomalies in the old earth uniformatarian geology [[paradigm]]. <ref>http://www.science-frontiers.com/sourcebk.htm</ref><ref>http://www.apologeticspress.net/articles/184</ref> Corliss wrote regarding [[Paraconformity|paraconformities]] the following: − − <blockquote style="background: #F9F9F9; border: 1px solid #AAAAAA; padding: .3em;"> − "Potentially more important to geological thinking are those [[unconformity|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> − </blockquote> − − The secular science journal [[New Scientist]] wrote regarding Corliss's work the following: "All I can say to Corliss is carry on cataloging." <ref>http://www.science-frontiers.com/sourcebk.htm</ref> Young earth creationist assert that paraconformities pose 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>
→How Old is the Earth
[[Young earth creationism|Young earth creationist]] scientists believe the earth is approximately 6,000 years old and reject the notion that the earth is billions of years old.
