The Geologic Column: Perspectives Within Diluvial Geology

by john-reed

Many wonder how the evolutionary/uniformitarian geologic column fits into diluvial geology. At present, there is a remarkable diversity of original thought on this subject. Recent exchanges in the creationist literature show a tendency for various participants to talk past one another. This book has brought these different perspectives together with two 1) to better define the real differences within diluvial geology, and 2) to identify the concrete issues that will provide a basis for continued research and, hopefully, future resolution. The editors went one step further by providing, at the end of most chapters, a forum with comments and responses. In addition to the editors, the other authors Terry Mortenson, Peter Klevberg, Carl Froede Jr., David J. Tyler, Harold G. Coffin, and Emil Silvestru. Though it may be difficult to visualize now, diluvial geology represents a major paradigm shift that holds the potential to stimulate a revolution within the earth sciences.

Did a good job of bringing to light some of the current discussions between various creationists concerning the geologic column. The biggest question seeming to be, can creationists make use of the standard geologic column and to what extent? Another question of import was, how much of the column was the result of the flood? I enjoyed it and found it informative.
