You know, one makes observations as one goes through life, you can't help but gather information as you go along. I want to talk about one of those things.....
There is a granite monument at 23rd and Boulevard in Galveston, sitting right atop the seawall. I grew up with it, it was there before I was around.... I am told it was put there in 1923, so this year it will be 100 years old, that is to say, it was cut into shape a hundred years ago. Now they will tell you that granite is millions of years old, maybe billions.... Granite is number seven on the hardness scale, granite pretty tough stuff.
When I was a kid, we (the family) went on an Indian hunt... We were looking for one particular dead Indian., as a result we went though a lot of cemeteries, looked at a lot of tombstones. There is one cemetery behind the Mobile, Alabama Library that goes back to the first French settlement in the mid 1700's. Some of those tombstones were granite..... Remember I said Mobile, Alabama. It's on the bay, on the gulf, it's mud, there ain't no granite. Somebody had to go find a granite outcropping, and quarry it, and haul it to Mobile, for a tombstone, in the 1700's, (just a side note I found interesting). Let's just say I've seen lots and lots of tombstones, of all different ages....
The granite monument there in Galveston has worn down to the point, in a hundred years, they had to renew it so it would remain readable. The ones behind the library in mobile, you can't read at all, you can make out writing, but you can't read it. They are only three-hundred years old... In three hundred years, that granite has worn down to the point you can't read the inscription. Make that six-hundred years..? A million years...? A hundred million years...? Really..? Seems to me that tombstone would be gone. Dust in the wind. Yet you look at the mountains, you see jagged edges, you see sharp ridges, you see steady landslides.... What you don't see is anything that looks like millions of years. Other than the plant growth (another topic), most of it looks rather fresh.
If science is going to lie to us, and tell us fairy-tales so they look smart, you would think they would be smart enough to tell a story that looks like what we see.
As an Over-the-Road Driver, I have seen this country from sea to sea, corner to corner. None of it looks millions of years old, in fact in looks like it was laid out with beauty in mind. If one knows anything of beauty, it is awe inspiring. It is almost as if it was laid out by hand. An ongoing painting, in motion with day and night. A creation that creates. In many places signs of the great flood are obvious and they are everywhere, once you notice them. There are great oddities, like the Delaware Water Gap, something that really isn't possible, yet there it is, and you can drive through it, truly a signature of the artist.
I remember the first time I saw the Grand Canyon, I knew instantly, this is a big ole wash out. This happened very quickly and involved a lot of water. A lot of water...!!! Yet, there is room for two huge lakes above it, I've driven through them, indeed they look like lake bottoms, No millions of years there, just a real big ole wash out, and two empty lakes. It's obvious.
So don't tell me millions of years, I wasn't born yesterday, and by the light of Christ, I can see. Anyway, that's my rant, I'm just so sick of science lying and avoiding the truth. Teaching their lies to the kids, and testing them on it. It's crap, it's all crap.
