Current Research Projects
... Geophysics:
-
Improvement in the numerical
modeling of catastrophic plate tectonics aspects of the Genesis Flood,
including early Flood continent motions and late Flood mountain uplift.
-
Modeling possible
rotational instability of the earth during the Flood and the erosion/
sedimentation patterns expected from high-velocity shearing at the water-earth
interface.
-
Investigation
of supersonic steam jets as possibly corresponding to the “fountains of the
great deep,” with their entrained water a possible explanation for the Flood’s
heavy rain.
-
Modeling the climate
response to a significant increase in ocean temperature during the centuries
that immediately followed the Flood.
-
Field studies and
numerical modeling of super faults (very large scale and catastrophic
displacements of the earth’s crust) and their possible role in Biblical earth
history.
... Genetics:
-
Investigation
of the mutation/selection process using Mendel’s Accountant. Five
publications are in preparation. The most significant findings are that (1)
most deleterious mutations are “un-selectable”, making genetic degeneration
inevitable, and (2) all low-impact beneficial mutations are un-selectable,
making forward evolution impossible.
-
Application
of new DNA visualization techniques to discover higher levels of organization
within the genome, to reveal even more clearly than our genome is fearfully
and wonderfully designed.
-
Analysis
of published human DNA sequences from individuals all over the world to help
demonstrate that the existing genetic patterns are most consistent with the
Biblical account of human history.
...Geology:
-
Investigation of a
mass kill and rapid burial of nautiloid fossils by sediment gravity flow as
the straightforward explanation for a thin but extraordinarily widespread
limestone stratum in Grand Canyon Mississippian rocks.
-
Exploration of
“mega-flood” landforms in the Santa Cruz River valley of southern Argentina as
evidence for post-Flood catastrophism, and their implications to critical
judgment errors made by Charles Darwin on his celebrated Voyage of the
Beagle.
-
Discovery and study
of deeply buried Arctic peat layers and their implications for the post-Flood
timescale.
-
Investigation
of super faults in southern Alaska and their role in launching gigantic
slurry-flows preserved today in the form of Cretaceous boulder-bearing strata.
