Scientist links modern earthquakes to ‘Earth’s Catastrophic Past’
Posted 3/15/2010

Dr. Andrew Snelling releases new book detailing biblical geology

PETERSBURG, Ky., Mar. 15, 2010 –Dr. Andrew Snelling, one of the world’s leading creation geologists and author of “Earth’s Catastrophic Past: Geology, Creation and the Flood,” released recently from the Institute for Creation Research, details the current geological evidence validating the authority and accuracy of biblical accounts of the Creation and the Flood. Moreover, he discusses how today’s earthquakes and tsunamis are linked to ancient catastrophic events that occurred during the global flood.

Snelling, a former professor of geology and researcher at the Institute for Creation Research (ICR) also serves as the Director of Research at Answers in Genesis (AiG) and is editor-in-chief of AiG’s Answers Research Journal.

“I believe in the convergence of science and biblical truth,” Snelling said. “The relationship between a literal translation of the Bible and scientific fact, relating to monumental natural events such as the Creation and the Flood, is not a mutually exclusive one. In fact, science and the Bible complement each other in telling one cohesive story of the history of the earth.”

Snelling uses the two-volume set as an opportunity to share the earth’s history and the science of geology from a biblical perspective. In his book, Snelling discusses geological elements in the Genesis record, as well as presenting the latest scientific data on the topics of sedimentation, fossilization, plate tectonics, radioisotope dating and more.

“The great thing about this book is that it gives non-scientist readers access to the geological and scientific evidence that supports a young earth view of creation,” Ken Ham, president of AiG said. “By making this research available to the Christian community, believers will be able to defend their views based on fact, and those with questions will see the validity of biblically-based creation and the flood accounts.”

Answers in Genesis is a biblical apologetics ministry which conducts more than 250 teaching meetings each year, hosts an award-winning Web site, and produces the “Answers” radio program heard on more than 800 stations throughout the United States. Its high-tech Creation Museum opened to international acclaim on Memorial Day, 2007, and has attracted more than 950,000 visitors since then. For more information, visit www.creationmuseumnews.com.
