Philadelphia, PA: Saunders College Publishing. It is generally accepted today that Earth is roughly 4.5 Because of how long the planet has been in existence, so much has happened to it in terms of its physical structure and the rock formations that have led to what we now call the seven continents. School of Geography, Geology and Environment Science, University of Auckland, Private Bag 92019, Auckland, New Zealand, jg.gao{at}auckland.ac.nz. Geology is a fascinating subject focusing on planet Earth, the history of how the planet has been structured, and the study of the rocks that make up the planet. Empirical Science is the pursuit of quantifiable facts and repeatable observations and is limited to the physical sphere of reality. Evangelicals and reformed thinkers– many of them with impressive science degrees from leading schools– have done a lot to advance some very well-reasoned arguments regarding the holes in modern cosmology and evolutionary theory. My wait is over; Modern Physical Organic Chemistry by Dennis Dougherty and Eric Anslyn has completely and satisfactorily reinvented the phys org chem textbook. Over recent decades several modern geoinformatic height-finding methods have emerged, including global positioning system (GPS), interferometric radar, and airborne laser scanner (ALS) or lidar. If we wish to maintain this patristic position then one needs to come up with a coherent and rigorous explanation for the physical evidence and geological time. This is proving to be very difficult and .. Toshiro, Tanimot,o and Lay Thorne. Mantle dynamics and seismic tomography. Modern geology deals much more with understanding how the earth works as a system (physical and chemical) and used historical geology (with old ties to paleontology) as examples to test these ideas.
