Young Earth Explanations for Angular Unconformities
- The Science entry posted on September 27th, 2007.
The best evidence for a very old earth are angular unconformities. Angular unconformities require several distinct steps each requiring significant lengths of time. An interesting discussion on the EvC forum.
- Deposition
- Lithification (Read more)
- Sometimes metamorphosis
- Tilting
- Erosion
- Deposition
- Lithification
- Tilting again on occasions
The nice thing about unconformities is that they are common and visible in road cuts everywhere. They do not require any assumptions about decay rates, the speed of light, absorption rates, etc.
What are the young earth explanations for angular unconformities?
