    II. HISTORICAL GEOLOGY and
    "FAULT FINDING"
    Evolutionists look to "historical geology" for proof that evolution took place. Historical geology is the study of the fossils and rock formations found in the earth, and from the positioning of these fossils and rock layers called "strata" we derive information regarding the estimate of the age of the earth, and the estimates of the ages of particular layers of rock. Historical geology is a misnomer, since evolutionists presume the ages to be pre historic. Radiometric dating is a method used to estimate ages of rock, a process where we analyze igneous rocks to find out how much radioactive material and subsequent by­products are in them. Using that information, scientists draw a conclusion about the estimated age of the rock. It is important to note that sedimentary rocks , which are the fossil bearing rocks, normally cannot be dated by this method. Those of us who want to study the creation/evolution issue need to understand the background behind all "dating" methods used in "historical geology" and the assumptions involved. One paramount assumption of the theory of evolution is the idea of great expanses of time. We have already discussed why this assumption works against the theory of evolution, because of the laws of thermodynamics. Evolutionists are stuck with this concept whereas creationists don't have this problem.

    Geol 02C Historical Geology J Bret Bennington Radiometric Dating of the Rock Record Determining Absolute Ages Absolute ages are direct measurements of the age of a rock in years, as opposed to a relative age that simply puts rock layers in time order. Radiometric Dating Shortly after the discovery in 1895 that certain radioactive atoms decay spontaneously through the emission of high energy particles into different non-radioactive atoms, scientists realized that this could provide a method for determining the absolute age of certain rocks. The key to radiometric dating is the fact that radioactive elements all have a distinct and unchanging half life Radioactive decay Radioactive decay is a stochastic process - it is impossible to predict when exactly a single individual atom will decay, but there is a finite and measurable probability that a certain percentage of a large population of them will decay over a period of time. Half lives The half life is defined as the time it take one half of the present radioactive atoms to decay. The radioactive element is called a radioisotope or parent isotope and the non-radioactive end product of decay is called a daughter isotope . Half lives are physical constants that depend only on the type of atom decaying. Half life values appear to be unaffected by temperature, pressure, presence of other atoms, etc. They are a fundamental property of the forces that hold together the atomic nucleus.

Course Description Historical geology is the study of the evolution of landforms and life-forms through geologic time. Geologic features such as rock types and fossils are used to interpret and date past events. The first third of the course introduces the basic geologic principles underlying historical geology; the second two thirds of the course focuses on the geologic evolution of the North American continent and the evolution of life on Earth. Course Grade: Your grade will be based on 4 exams, 7 labs, a one-day field trip and a semester project. Good attendance is expected of all students and will be checked periodically – students may be dropped for non-attendance after three unexcused absences. Exams will be a mix of multiple choice, short answer and short essay. Mark breakdown:

    Cumberland Gap
    National Historical Park
    Kentucky / Virginia / Tennessee

    At Cumberland Gap four natural features combine to open the way through the Appalachian Mountain range. At one time this land was flat and Yellow Creek flowed south into Powell River . Then the earth began to push up, and as Cumberland Mountain rose the creek cut in it a notch, or gap. The mountain rose faster than the creek could enlarge the gap and the creek was diverted northward into Cumberland River . North of the gap is Middleboro Basin( 2 ) , a large flat area perhaps formed by the impact of a meteor or the collapse of a huge underground bubble. Yellow Creek Valley leads to "the Narrows" , a gap that crosses Pine Mountain and opens into the Bluegrass region of Kentucky. These four features are a natural door through the mountains, allowing travel in either direction and joining the eastern seaboard with the Mississippi west. top of page

    Introduction
    We begin by reviewing: Historical Geology can be divided into:
    • the history of the science itself
    • the tectonic history of Earth, and
    • all the life on Earth.
    Exercise:
    Learn your sedimentary rocks from the standard rock boxes and review sediments in a teaching collection or from a field guide to sedimentary material.
    Environments
    A study of modern sedimentary environments reveals features common to all - and differences between every kind. Particle sorting, roundness and sedimentary structures may reveal ancient sedimentary environments:
  • Marine
    • shallow marine, water less than 200 meters, continental shelf and reefs

    Historical Geology - Part II - Hooked on Fossils
    Taxonomic Classification of Life on Earth
    The hierarchy of taxonomic groups is Kingdom : Phylum : Class : Order : Family : Genus : Species Many biologists remember this by the sentence "King Philip cries out for great soup!" Older classification system divided all things into five kingdoms:
  • Protista yellow-green and golden-brown algae and "protozoans"
  • Monera asexual unicellular microorganisms with no cell nucleus or other organelles
  • Fungi
  • Plants and
  • Animals. I prefer an equally arbitrary system which proposes that all life be divided into three "domains" named
    • Eubacteria "blue-green algae" cyanobacteria, purple sulfur bacteria and non-photosynthetic microbes.
    • Archaebacteria thermophiles and methane-producing bacteria
    • Eukaryota all other life forms.
    From a historical geology perspective, we realize that not all groups are proportionally represented in the fossil record, so only some groups of living organisms are regularly used in historical geology. If you look up living organisms in biology books, you will find far more groups than are discussed in your text book.

      In our world of expanding population and finite resources, the need to understand and appreciate the complex interrelationships among the Earth's living and non-living systems has never been greater. Rational judgments regarding land and other resource use demand such understanding. We believe that every liberally-educated student should have at least an elementary understanding of geological systems and processes, and how these affect human activity. To this end, the Geology Department offers a variety of entry-level courses ( Physical Geology Climate Change Historical Geology Marine Science ... Earth Science , and Investigations in Geology). At least one of the above courses is taught in nearly all nine terms of the college year and all satisfy the College science requirement. The majority have a strong laboratory component, and some involve field work. We believe strongly in the "hands-on" approach to teaching and learning science. Most of these courses emphasize how human land use affects geological processes and vice-versa, and they underscore the importance of proper land management. The Hendriks Research Fund annully supports several undergraduate field research projects.

    The University of Wisconsin Oshkosh field camp will be based in or near Park City, Utah, a city of 10,000 nestled at 7000 feet elevation in the Wasatch Mountains to the east of Salt Lake City. Park City owes its origin to prospecting activity in the 1860s and 1870s, when word of lead-silver strikes spread and attracted fortune hunters. Although the last mine closed in 1981, old prospects occur throughout the mountains acting as reminders of the regions rich historical past. Park City is a rapidly growing town due popularity among winter sports enthusiasts.

The material is as accurate as she could make it. Not all field camps are included in this listing, only those who had web or telephone contacts.
