Dinosaurs Dinosaur fossils that have been found everywhere from the Alberta badlands to northern China point to evidence of Noah's flood, the catastrophic event that wiped them out a few thousand years ago.

Fossils The vast diversity of fossils found worldwide proves that Noah's flood was global. Although paleontologists date the fossils depending on what level of the Earth they were found in (a process known as stratigraphy), creationists say these strata cannot be trusted due to the violent transformation of the Earth after the flood.

Plate tectonics The Earth's surface has indeed shifted, but instead of occurring gradually over millions of years, these changes occurred in measurements of hundreds of years.

The Grand Canyon "The Grand Canyon was carved out by Noah's flood, depositing the sediment that created the canyon in only a few years. After the flood, the water receded, revealing fossilized marine creatures and vertebrate footprints, proof of the existence of the animals killed in the flood.

Human origins The fossils of humans and human-like species that have been organized into a chronology by anthropologists were, in fact, contemporaries. All of them died during the great flood except Noah and his family on the Ark, the ancestors to all modern people.

Radiometric dating The strongest case for old-Earth geology lies with the evidence taken from radiometric dating. Elements such as Potassium-40 decay over time into lighter atoms (Argon-40) with a predictable half-life. Creationist criticisms generally focus on the small percentage of error in any radioactive dating technique.

Natural selection Surprisingly, some creationists accept the basic premise of natural selection - that genetic variation leaves certain species better adapted than others. However, they claim this only happens through the loss of genetic code and deny the possibility that genetic mutation can lead to more complexity over time.

Astronomy The vast distances commonly referred to in astronomy, which often require millions of light years, are actually much smaller. After all, the stars in the sky were actually created after the Earth according to Genesis, so the heavens are one day shy of the Earth's 4004 BC birthdate.
