“EARTH HISTORY” Geologic Time: Geology needs a time Scale: -The prime goal of the science of geology‚ is to interpreting earth history. Geological time scale- -Anordered‚internallyconsistent‚ internationally recognized sequence of time intervals‚ and record the life of Earth. Short history of geology: James Ussher(mid 1600s)- he determined that earth was only a few thousands of years old having been created in 4004 b.c Catastrophists(17-18cen.)-believed that earth landscape had been developed

Dynamic Earth Has the Earth been static since the beginning of time? Well‚ Earth hasn’t been moving vigorously but it is changing at a steady rate. New geological features‚ rock formations‚ and locations of plates all rise and demolish some in a lifetime and others over a span of millions of years. Earth is dynamic; it constantly progresses and doesn’t rest. Through the churns and molds‚ the twists and turns‚ Earth is active because of plate tectonics and the rock cycle. The ideas

The Origin of the Earth‚ One of God’s Hidden Secrets “Much of geology is pure speculation and is as such on the same basis as philosophy‚ or must be accepted on faith‚ as the truths of theology” (Rehwinkel 177). For geologists this means that any theory of how the Earth‚ atmosphere and life originated‚ takes faith to believe‚ whether it is the evolutionist’s view or the creationist’s view. Creationists believe that the Earth was created 6000-7000 years ago. This number is based on what the Bible

There is one thing people of Earth have in common. They are all born‚ raised‚ and live their entire lives on planet Earth. They breathe oxygenated air made from the Earth’s trees‚ eat food grown in the soil‚ and drink pure water from Mother Nature’s springs.

The Bible was used in the Middle Ages to compute the age of the Earth. The 18th and 19th centuries brought a more scientific look into determining the age of the Earth by studying the salinities of the oceans‚ the rates of sedimentation‚ and models of cooling of different materials in order to calculate
