I would like to personally thank you for watching the Origins program. Origins was a special program, near to the heart of my late husband, Russell Bixler.

I trust that the information in this presentation will be helpful in your study of creation science. Thank you for your prayerful and financial support of Origins… you’re making the television production of this program possible.

“My excuse for this lengthy and amateur digression into history is that I have been trying to show how I think geology got into the hands of the theoreticians who were conditioned by the social and political history of their day more than by observations in the field . . .

In other words, we have allowed ourselves to be brain-washed into avoiding any interpretation of the past that involves extreme and what might be termed ‘catastrophic’ processes.”

Derek Ager, The Nature of the Stratigraphical Record(London: Macmillan, 1981), p. 46-47.

“The ‘establishment,’ as represented by the United States Geological Society, closed ranks in opposition . . . Instead of testing Bretz’s flood on its own merits, they rejected it on general principles . . .”

“Bretz stood against a firm, highly restrictive dogma that never had made any sense: the emperor had been naked for a century. Charles Lyell, the godfather of geologic gradualism, had pulled a fast one in establishing the doctrine of imperceptible change.”Stephen Jay Gould, “The Great Scablands Debate,”Natural History, Vol. 87:7 (Aug./Sept. 1978), pp. 12, 14.

“Fossilization is a process that can take anything from a few hours to millions of years …

Philip J. Currie & Eva B. Koppelhus, 101 Questions about Dinosaurs (Mineola, NY: Dover Publications, 1996), p. 11.

The amount of time that it takes for a bone to become completely permineralized is highly variable. If the groundwater is heavily laden with minerals in solution, the process can happen rapidly. Modern bones that fall into mineral springs can become permineralized within a matter of weeks.”
