    Wrong. Modern geologists have an obligation to take a better look at the planet and the obvious expansion patterns causing volcanic activity at the seams of expansion. Once you see it you can’t deny it. There is no such thing as “tectonic plates”. Current geology is nonsense.

    The truth needs to get out about the structure of this land. These layers were created by violent water movement and sediment settling. Grand canyon was hogged out again by water and thats where u can see the whole story. All up to bedrock was formed over months, not millions of years. Science has a poor explanation for all of this as if no one even cares to investigate.

In this particular area, we find very nice pieces of lava glass, gems, minerals, Iron Ore & more & I have a huge collection to prove it.

    Thanks for an informative video for rockhounds. Yes, most of Michigan is known for it's sedimentary rock but this is not the whole geologic story. It should be mentioned that beneath a good portion of the lower peninsula, the basement rock is volcanic in origin ... igneous, rhyolite and other metamorphic rock. Though this rock is not at the surface for rockhounding, the formations created by The Mid Continent Rift and Eastern Rhyolite Province volcanics shouldn't be ignored. Glacial/sedimentary geology has become Michigan's formal geology, when what lies beneath all the till is way more interesting!

    they may have the rock formations correct here, but the time frame is way off,,and how they were formed..Creation scientists, that believe the word of God as creator in the bible, believe all this we see today was formed by God originally and then greatly modified by the great flood, described in the bible, the book of Genesis, which God brought onto the world. There are two different paradymns..held by scientists….one is non- creation…but another belief how the earth became ….and millions of years, and another is the creation paradymn, which believes all this was from the original creation by God, and then the flood done rapidly and violently. Expand your minds and look at both sides if you truly believe in science. There are thousands of real scientists the world over that hold the crestionist views, but cant hardly get published..although that is now changing rapidly due to new platforms. thank you p.s. most creation scientists are still today forced to not express thier views or lose employment , and are also censored..again, this is now changing..they have formed groups and initiatives such as IsGenesisHistory ?, has published hundreds of hours of interviews and actual film in the natural world , and labratory, with these real scientists. Thatnis just one of the new works brought out by groups of creation scientists..somopen your minds folks, and see the other side also .
