Christian young earth creationists Nicholas Steno and Antonio Snider Pellegrini were the fathers of modern geology, the uniformitarian geology of gradualism which would comport with darwinism later proposed by James Lyell then Charles Hutton to explain the geologic record en lieu of the catastrophism clearly evident in geology (http://globalflood.org).
Steno established the law of superposition in geology, that shallower layers of sedimentary material are younger than deeper ones, unless subsequent tectonic activity has folded the strata such that the older appears younger, his notion predicated on biblical Noah’s Flood when the sedimentary material was laid down, then Lyell and Hutton chose to see no flood there, claiming instead it happened slowly over billions of years.
Pellegrini first fostered the notion of continental drift, plate tectonics, that crustal movement rapidly accelerated through the flood year when the supercontinent Pangea broke apart to move to roughly today’s continental configurations, now only moving slowly an inch or two per year, this rate projected billions of years back by the uniformitarians when but Pangea is said to have broken apart ‘only’ 90 million years ago!

Whose Date Right Correct Young Earth Creationism Jewish New Year Rosh Hashana 5773 Creation Week World Universe Days Six Thousand Years Ago Irish Bishop Ussher Timeline Dispute Seder Olam Rabah
September 17, 2012Here now the Jewish New Year 5773 since the six days of creation, many wonder why Bishop Ussher reckoned 4004 b.c. for the creation, he having counted back time linkages in the generations back to Adam and Eve, accurate reckoning actually, because within the millennia between the creation and today, the book Seder Olam Rabah written circa 300 a.d. compresses jewish history from the time of Daniel to the time of Jesus’ incarnation, death, and resurrection, by over two hundred years.
You don’t need to ponder long why Jews against Jesus circa 300 a.d. would want it seem that Jesus did not fulfil the Daniel 9 prophetic chronology that he would be on earth when he was, so probably only that is the reason that the Jewish New Year 5773 differs significantly from the studious Bishop Ussher’s 6,000 years ago, now see the big picture here http://genesisveracityfoundation.com.
