Does the geologic evidence really prove an ancient Earth, or can a biblical perspective do a better job of explaining our world’s features? This week Kevin’s guest is research geologist Dr. Steve Austin. He may not be a stone-cold wrestler, but he does know a lot about rocks. You may think geology sounds boring, but Steve could prove you wrong: he recently climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, and has visited many other exotic and beautiful locations for his research (especially the Grand Canyon).
Steve talks to Kevin about some of the evidence he’s uncovered for biblical history throughout his long and productive career. Where did the Grand Canyon come from, since it clearly wasn’t formed by the Colorado River (as secular geologists are now admitting)? Why are there so many marine fossils in completely inappropriate places, like deserts and high mountains? Could there be evidence that there really was an earthquake when Jesus was crucified, as the Bible says? Steve addresses these questions and more while also sharing about his personal journey, from a rock-loving kid in a secular home to a Biblical Creationist and research geologist.
Steve doesn’t hog all the adventure for himself! He also runs a program called Creation Adventures, where anyone can sign up to go on a geologic expedition. In May of 2017 he is leading a 7-day rafting trip through the Grand Canyon that will explore the evidence for Noah’s Flood. Visit CreationAdventures.com to get more information and sign up!
