'''William R. Corliss''' is a cataloger of scientific [[Anomaly|anomalies]] (observations and facts that challenge prevailing scientific [[paradigm]]s) and has published many works on the subject. <ref>http://www.science-frontiers.com/</ref>  The science journal ''[[New Scientist]]'' had an article which focused on Mr. Corliss's career. <ref>Adrian Hope, ''Finding a Home for Stray Fact'', New Scientist, July 14, 1977, p. 83</ref>   In addition, the 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> Mr. Corliss publishes Science Frontiers which is a bimonthly newsletter providing digests of reports that cite and describe scientific anomalies. <ref>http://www.science-frontiers.com/</ref> Since 1976, over 2000 Science Frontiers digests have been published. <ref>http://www.science-frontiers.com/</ref> In regards to the old earth paradigm which theorizes the earth is billions of years old, Corliss's work on geological anomalies catalogues scores of anomalies which challenge the old earth paradigm.<ref>http://www.science-frontiers.com/sourcebk.htm#Geology</ref>

{{QuoteBox|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.<ref>Corliss, 1980, quoted by Plaisted, David A., [http://www.cs.unc.edu/~plaisted/ce/flood.html Geological Evidences for a Flood]</ref>}}
