Indicators of a Young Earth
(Indicators that the Earth is too young for evolution to have occurred)

A. Helium in the atmosphere The Age of the Earth's Atmosphere B. Salt in the oceans

C. Geologic evidences for a young Earth—deformation styles

1. Predictions of young earth model: a. Sedimentary rocks were laid down during the flood as mud; deformation soon after deposition b. Sediments soft when deformed 2. Predictions of old Earth model: a. Deformation occurred long after deposition b. Sediments were brittle when deformed 3. Geologic evidences (examples) a. Grand Canyon monocline - plateau raised 5,000 feet; rocks bent like taffy b. Rockwall, TX - classic dikes (redeposited eroded remnants); the dikes were squeezed up through overlying rocks Is There Geological Evidence For The Young Earth? Supplemental Reading 4.
