- Mount St. Helens: Catastrophic Geology
E1Mount St. Helens: Catastrophic GeologySteve Austin provides an overview of the events of the 1980 volcanic eruption and subsequent mud flows. He explains how geologic processes associated with the volcano and its aftermath can teach us about even larger catastrophic processes that occurred during the global flood. - Spirit Lake and the Floating Log Mat
E2Spirit Lake and the Floating Log MatSteve Austin explains what happened at Spirit Lake during and after the eruption. Millions of trees were knocked into the lake to create a floating log mat, which in turn produced a thick layer of peat and the appearance of a stratified forest. - The Grand Staircase
E3The Grand StaircaseSteve Austin explores part of the Grand Staircase, the thick stack of rock layers which are visible as sets of parallel cliffs above the Grand Canyon. He explains that the history of the world is best viewed through a Flood geology model as a five-step process: sedimentation, tectonics, erosion, volcanoes, and exponential decline. Steve then talks briefly about his experience as a creationist geologist. - Desert View & the Colorado River
E4Desert View & the Colorado RiverSteve Austin explains the history of the rock strata from creation week to the present day, then discusses the conventional paradigm introduced by Charles Lyell and Charles Darwin. He takes Dr. Tackett to the Colorado River and talks about the catastrophic processes necessary to carve out such a deep canyon through thousands of feet of rock. - The Great Unconformity & Megasequences
E5The Great Unconformity & MegasequencesSteve Austin explains how the rock layers making up continent-wide megasequences are best explained by fast-moving slurry deposits caused during the Flood. He discusses how rapid sedimentation leads to large-scale erosion and deposition like we see in many places throughout the world such as the Great Unconformity. - Fossil Nautiloids
E6Fossil NautiloidsSteve Austin visits a spectacular fossil bed within the Redwall Limestone in the Grand Canyon. The bed contains abundant nautiloids that appear to have been killed simultaneously. He and Del Tackett finish their trip to the Grand Canyon discussing how the huge layers of rocks are a memorial to God's global judgment. - Overview of the Rocks and Fossils
E7Overview of the Rocks and FossilsMarcus Ross gives a tour of the fossil record from the lowest Paleozoic layers up through the highest Cenozoic layers. He explains how the fossil record generally moves from deep marine creatures to terrestrial creatures, revealing how different communities were captures during the global flood. - The Fossil Record & Design
E8The Fossil Record & DesignMarcus Ross discusses how the fossil record fits with the history recorded in Genesis. Abundant marine fossils on the continents and the appearance of animal trackways before body fossils are best explained by a global flood. He then examines how design can be seen in fossil organisms from complex trilobite eyes to Apatosaurus' feet to pterosaur flight. - The History of Life
E9The History of LifeKurt Wise discusses why people can study nature without acknowledging the biblical truths of a recent creation and a global flood. He then describes the events of the five "epochs" of earth history: the Creation, the Edenian Epoch, the Antediluvian Epoch, the Arphaxadian Epoch, and the Modern Epoch. - Evidence of the Catastrophic Past
E10Evidence of the Catastrophic PastKurt Wise explores evidence for various catastrophic processes occurring during and after the global flood. These include major earth movements, ancient earthquakes, and mass kill fossil deposits. Kurt shows that these fossils are evidence of a unique pre-Flood environment which was completely destroyed by the Flood. - The Rapid Formation of Coal
E11The Rapid Formation of CoalKurt Wise goes into the air shaft of an old coal mine to explore the origin of coal. He explains how the conventional model of coal formation in swamps is insufficient for explaining the coal beds we actually see. He talks about research done by Steve Austin in terms of floating log mats. - The Order of the Fossils
E12The Order of the FossilsKurt Wise looks at plant fossils and explains how they are important to understanding the fossil record. He shows how the pre-Flood world would have had different unique biomes - such as floating forest - which explain the unique order of fossils laid down during the global flood. - After the Flood and the Nature of Science
E13After the Flood and the Nature of ScienceA waterfall provides an informative location for Kurt Wise to discuss what the world was like after the Flood, from giant volcanoes, to animal dispersion, to the Ice Age. In closing, Kurt Wise and Del Tackett address why some believers doubt or refuse to accept the Genesis account of origins. - Exploring Fossils & Paleocurrents
E15Exploring Fossils & PaleocurrentsArt Chadwick shows Del Tackett his collection of over 20,000 fossils gathered from Hanson Ranch. These include fossils from Triceratops, Edmontosaurus, and Nanotyrannus. Art explains how fossils are formed and how they change from the top to the bottom of the Mesozoic rock layers. He also explains his unique findings in tracing paleocurrents from the global flood. - Catastrophe & Complexity
E16Catastrophe & ComplexityArt Chadwick explains how various aspects of the fossil record - including dinosaur footprints, death postures, and dinosaur eggs - fit with the idea of a global flood. He then talks about evolutionary trees and the complexity that is evident even in the fossils found in the lowest rock layers. - Radioisotope Dating 1: Overview & Radiohalos
E17Radioisotope Dating 1: Overview & RadiohalosAndrew Snelling explains the principles of radioisotope dating as well as the assumptions necessary for these methods. He talks about why he thinks radioisotope decay was accelerated during the Flood and includes evidence from radiohalos and helium diffusion rates. - Radioisotope Dating 2: Implications & Carbon-14
E18Radioisotope Dating 2: Implications & Carbon-14Andrew Snelling continues discussing radioisotope dating, including whether excess heat would be a problem for accelerated decay rates. He then examines radiocarbon dating and how Carbon-14 has been found in coal, dinosaur bones, and diamonds. - Evidence for a Young Earth
E20Evidence for a Young EarthDr. Andrew Snelling discusses geological evidences for a young earth, including the large extent of rock layers, a lack of significant erosion between layers, and an absence of major bioturbation within layers. The Coconino Sandstone provides abundant evidence of underwater origin. He and Del Tackett end by discussing the nature of the geological column and how it was originally a creationist concept.
