The volcanic island of Surtsey was 'created' in 1963 and Mnt St Helens erupted 17 years later.In the aftermath of these two rather trivial events - at least in the context of what 'geological forces' produced the Himalayas and the Andes - whole eco systems were in place almost in a blink of time. Cliffs, gullies, beaches, landscape, FOSSILS were found .[I have only just found out about these 'ancient' fossils hence my decision to return to this topic.]
The colonisation of these areas of waste by lichens, plants and insects and not too far down the line, birds, was little less than amazing.
Yes I know that all the above-mentioned life forms were already in existence elsewhere - but forgive me if I am rather impressed by the speed of the developments on Surtsey and at Crater Lake. It almost makes you wonder if, just perhaps, aeons of time were not actually needed to explain Genesis away.T
hese are far from being definitive arguments but most assuredly, are significant indicators.And let us not forget the rocks created volcanically at Mnt St Helens were dated at millions of years using the highly flawed and untestable techniques of half lives - which depend entirely on rates of decay being a constant - which is unprovable and clues suggest is simply not true.
