[[William R. Corliss]] is a respected cataloger of scientific [[anomaly|anomalies]] and the science journal ''[[New Scientist]]'' had an article which focused on Mr. Corliss's career as a cataloger of scientific anomalies. <ref>Adrian Hope, ''Finding a Home for Stray Fact'', New Scientist, July 14, 1977, p. 83</ref>  In addition, Mr. Corliss wrote 13 books for the [[National Aeronautics and Space Administration]] (NASA) and has also written several works for the [[National Science Foundation]] (NSF) and the [[Atomic Energy Commission]] (AEC).<ref>http://www.scientificexploration.org/jse/articles/pdf/16.3_corliss.pdf</ref>  Mr. Corliss has cataloged scores of [[Anomaly|anomalies]] which challenge the old earth 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:

[[William R. Corliss]] wrote the following about [[paraconformity|paraconformities]]:

{{cquote|"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>}}
