* Famed Geologist Dr. Steven Austin on RSR: On this special edition of Real Science Radio, Bob Enyart interviews the senior research scientist from the Institute for Creation Research, Dr. Steven Austin, about his groundbreaking research at Mt. St. Helens, research which forced the hand of the National Park Service to remove their infamous sign about the petrified trees at Yellowstone, and which formed an important part of the pressure forcing geologists to incorporate catastrophism back into their understanding of Earth's past. (See the brief petrified tree video just below.) In the 1990s, Dr. Austin produced the extraordinary video, Mount St. Helens: Explosive Evidence for Catastrophe.
* NG Quotes Scientist on Expectations vs Actuality: The May 2000 issue of National Geographic quotes the U.S. Forest Service's scientist at Mount St. Helens, Peter Frenzen, describing the canyon on the north side of the volcano. "You'd expect a hardrock canyon to be thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years old. But this was cut in less than a decade." As for the volcano itself, while the kneejerk reaction of old-earthers is to claim that most geologic features are hundreds of thousands or millions of years old (see rsr.org/not-so-old-things), this atheistic magazine acknowledges the evidence, that Mount St. Helens, that is, the volcano itself, is only about 4,000 years old! See below.
* Bob's Reply to an Old Earther: You may want to read Bob's short reply below a Mount St. Helens YouTube video to Einschwein, an old-earther who commented saying that he doesn't quite get the point. And, we invite you to comment there also!
* Two Corrections: The first is the more serious and explained at rsr.org/plagiarism regarding Steve's use of Dr. Walt Brown's discovery of the ancient Grand Lake, its 5700-foot elevation, and its breach point. This has caused devastating tension within, and a great hindrance to, the creation movement and thus, to the church and the world. The second far less significant correction regards Dr. Austin's apparent incorrect understanding of the formation of Engineers Canyon near Mount St. Helens.
* RMCF: Tonight, Dr. Austin is speaking in person at the Rocky Mountain Creation Fellowship. And see Dr. Austin's Grand Canyon presentation in the embedded video below.
