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

Lecture 1: Introduction Geology - the study of the Earth‚ the processes that shape it‚ and the resources that could be obtained from it. Main branches Physical Geology - deals with the materials that comprise the Earth and the processes that affect it (e.g.‚ Volcanology‚ Seismology‚ Environmental Geology‚ Engineering Geology‚ Mining Geology‚ Petroleum Geology‚ Mineralogy‚ Petrology‚ Geomorphology‚ Geophysics‚ Geochemistry‚ Planetary Geology) Historical Geology - the study of the origin and

of Paleontology‚ when the time of the 1700’s (Cuvier’s time) it became wildly popular from promotion of major figures of the time‚ it later boomed in popularity later on in time. (Glen Kuban‚ 1994) Paleontology lies on the border of biology and geology and shares traits with archaeology. It uses a vast number of techniques taken from several other sciences including biochemistry‚ mathematics and engineering‚ it also branches off into several sub-divisions and sub-sciences of Paleontology. The sub-branches

First off you should know what a rock cycle is. The rock cycle is a fundamental concept in geology that describes the dynamic transitions through geologic time among the three main rock types: sedimentary‚ metamorphic‚ and igneous. Rocks make rocks. The cycle begins within the core of the earth. The molten rock in the core of the earth is called magma. Once the rock is forced to the earth’s lithosphere or crust‚ the molten rock becomes lava and thereby begins its long journey of development

material‚ a definition that is different from the way we defined a mineral back in Chapter 2. Here the word mineral can be any substance that comes from the Earth. Finding and exploiting mineral deposits requires the application of the principles of geology that you have learned throughout this course. Some minerals are used as they are found in the ground‚ i.e. they require no further processing or very little processing. For example - gemstones‚ sand‚ gravel‚ and salt (halite). Most minerals must be
