[__ Science __ ] Mountain-Building Quiescence in Earth’s “Middle Age”

Uniformitarian storytellers aim to interpret earth’s “Middle Age” while ignoring the only eyewitness to our planet’s catastrophic past: God.

From the link, this bit of foolishness:

"Most geologists today are uniformitarians; that is, they believe that past geological processes occurred uniformly in the past at much the same intensities and rates as today, punctuated of course by storms, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and tsunamis."

AIG still hasn't figured out that "uniformitarian" doesn't mean "processes occurred uniformly." Pretty close to willful ignorance, considering that even Lyle wrote about catastrophic changes in the earth.

Of course they would rather not have you know that mountain-building continues today, and we can directly measure the velocity of moving continents.

Of course, there’s a big “catch” to the story above. Amidst a lot of hand-waving, there are lots of assumptions, and there are no eyewitnesses who provided written records to verify that the details of that story actually happened.

yes - the only option left for the theory

There are billions of observers of those processes. They are still operating at measurable rates. Continents move a few centimeters per year. Some mountain ranges are still rising; and others are getting lower. All nicely documented.

All this makes for engaging storytelling with much hand-waving, but it’s all based on the assumption that “the present is the key to the past.” In reality, this is purely a belief, however reasonable sounding it seems. That is because there were no geologists to witness, measure, and record the geologic processes back in the remote past to verify for us today that this assumption is correct.

great point

Fortunately, the processes in the Earth leave evidence that one can examine and learn from. The dodge that "you can't know anything you didn't witness happening" is so obviously fake that I'm surprised people still use it. And those processes still work today.

The world has sat up and taken notice that the famed Mount Everest - a part of the Himalayan ranges - is now officially a little under a metre taller than what was its measured height in 1955.

China and Nepal have announced that their scientific teams have measured the height of the world's tallest mountain (in terms of height from sea-level). They jointly declared that Mount Everest is 0.86 metres (about 2 feet) higher than previously calculated, Nepal and China have said in a joint announcement. Its new height is 29,032 feet or 8,848.86 metres.

Do not be stunned if you are told that the Himalayas are growing taller every year at least by an inch. The reason for that lies in the continental drift theory.

How Mount Everest got taller: India collided against Eurasia millions of years ago, Tibet was then a seashore

The height of the Himalayan range has been rising ever since this collision created these mountains. Though its height constantly increases, weathering and denudation ensure that it gets sliced down as well.
