Coconino Sandstone – A Flood Deposit?

By Geochemist, Raymond Strom

Abstract: The Coconino Sandstone has historically been considered to be a wind deposit (aeolian) in a vast erg or sand sea. This deposit, which is the third formation down from the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, had been presumed to be aeolian based on cursory data. This conclusion had been based on bed angles, grain size and roundness, and other characteristics thought to be associated with desert environments. Little actual technical work had been done, however, on the rocks themselves to determine if, in particular, the microscopic data supported this hypothesis. In the Creation community, Dr. Steve Austin and Dr. Andrew Snelling had looked at the macro features of the Coconino and had concluded that conventional models were inadequate to support the aeolian interpretation. In 2005, the Flood Activated Sedimentation and Tectonics (FAST) group was formed at the instigation of the ICR and Dr. Austin. Three individuals were assigned to the project – Dr. John Whitmore, Paul Garner and Raymond Strom, each with a special interest and set of expertise that would be brought to bear. Initially, the group was uncertain as to what would be found, but as the project proceeded, many amazing surprises surfaced.

This will be a night you will not want to miss, as this represents a complete revamping of a dogmatic evolutionary model.

Also take notice of GHCA funding needs:

I know that nearly everyone is on a tighter budget than usual and some are desperate. However, we need some funding from those who can afford it. The simplest way to make a nondeductible contribution is send a check made out to GHCA and mail it to:

What Happened to Intelligent Design ?

Many interested in creation science have not paid much attention to the Intelligent design movement that started in the 1990s for a variety of reasons. But the ID movement is having great success challenging the atheistic people in the science community to think more seriously about the proposition that the presence of intelligent design in many natural things implies the work of an intelligent designer. The ongoing success of the ID movement has an important impact on the success of evangelism of educated people in the modern world.

Also take notice of our funding needs:

Funding of GHCA’s work is another issue for the New Year. I know that nearly everyone is on a tighter budget than usual and some are desperate. However, we need some funding from those who can afford it. True, the IRS has not granted us a tax exemption, but even so, we need some significant operating funds. Please consider this in your end of the year giving. The simplest way to give is send a check made out to GHCA and mail it to:

Jan 7 – No Webinar

January 3, 2021 By admin

No meeting webinar until February

Please see our year-end message below.

Dear GHCA supporters,

Many have felt a strong impact from our presentations of Dr Doug Petrovich’s work on the archaeology of the Hebrew sojourn in Egypt. That includes the events surrounding Joseph’s predicted seven years of abundance and of famine; the entry of Jacob’s clan; the invention and first use of the first alphabetic language – Hebrew, written on through to the Exodus event. On December 3 I presented a detailed presentation of this material from Dr. Petrovich and some of you were in the audience that night. The next step is to get this material on the GHCA website and then make a mailing calling Dr. Petrovich’s work to the attention of the leadership of Houston’s Christian community.

A final version of that work, done for our website, is unfortunately not ready yet. So I will cancel the January GHCA presentation to provide needed time to complete the Petrovich archaeology project. As I bring that project to completion I hope to line up a series of very knowledgeable outside speakers to present at the GHCA via Zoom. In the mean time, I will research and prepare updates in the major areas of geology, isotope dating, cosmology, genetics, and biology. Please pray for God’s blessings on all of this work.
