Earth History Research and News

A major objection to the young-age timescale has been the apparent discovery by glaciologists of hundreds of thousands of annual layers in cores taken through the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets. However, a new technical monograph by meteorologist Michael Oard explores the origin and development of the ice sheets and concludes that long timescales are automatically built into the conventional interpretation of the ice core data. Furthermore, he makes a case for only one ‘ice age’ rather than a succession of Pleistocene ‘ice ages’, and outlines some of the problems with annual layer counting and standard glaciological flow models. This monograph is required reading for anyone seriously interested in exploring the ice core data. Unfortunately I’m not aware of a UK supplier of this 210-page monograph, but it can be ordered from the website of the Institute for Creation Research:
