- Filmed at the 2017 IGH Conference, you can get this lecture and over 70 more at: isgenesishisto... Dr. Andrew Snelling completed a BS in applied geology at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, graduating with first-class honors in 1975. His PhD in geology was awarded in 1982 by The University of Sydney for his research thesis titled “A Geochemical Study of the Koongarra Uranium Deposit, Northern Territory, Australia.”
Dr. Snelling worked for six years in the exploration and mining industries in Tasmania, New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia, and the Northern Territory, variously as a field, mine, and research geologist. For over ten years, Dr. Snelling was a research consultant to the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization for an international collaborative research project funded by the U.S. Department of Energy which involved university and government research scientists from the USA, UK, Australia, Japan, Korea, Sweden, Austria and Belgium.
He is currently Director of Research for Answers in Genesis.

Thank you for posting this, Dr Snelling is a real treasure!
Amen!!!!!!!!!! It is all about HIM! Thank you for your testimony!
Thank an imaginary man in the sky?
Inspiring Testimony! Praise God!
👁️✝️🛐👁️😠🌡️👣🌪️🌋🌫️🔥👀👂🙏🏻⏳, Thank You Dr Snelling
"God so loved the " world " .... " thank you ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
He brought his only son (himself) to kill his son (himself) to forgive man kind. Though me as a human I can think of other ways to forgive man and also to have people know I exist but God does.... well none of these things.
....8:23 mark....I am still waiting on..."Why am I a creationist" .....most videos like this should be re- titled..."My personal Christian testimony"......Christian testimonies are fine....just label them as such...
Here's why I am. genuinearticlex7.com/2020/08/12/god-of-evidence-evidence-that-the-bible-is-gods-word/
How about “Indoctrination Into The Creationist Cult”.
Me too! I didn't hear anything like an explanation for why he would disregard all the information and evidence written in the rock record.
I don't object to people believing things on faith, if that's what they want to do. The New Testament insists on faith according to its own words. I don't know who decided that part of the required faith would be that the Earth is just thousands of years old. That seems to me like a bad idea. Believe what you want, but understand that it is NOT the story told in the geologic record.
What got cut out of this testimony and why?
My favourite Aussie 👍
Still praise God for the fellowship and teaching at Belvoir St.
God is so good!
Unless you don't believe then well.. God is the worst being ever. So weird to show someone you are the good guy by making a place to be in agony for all of time. Though a true good guy could never make a place as such if he was the true good guy cause simply not believing in someone who never cares to show he exists.
"The good guy" does not equal God lol
Nice guys finish last. Same with Gods. Nice Gods finish last.
Testemunho muito bom
Soft tissue inside dino bones and horns is the proof we were waiting for, end of question! Evolucionism going down the drain. Sorry!
Soft tissue Debunked--Sorry!
@@ozowen5961 to me it's more than proof. God wins! What you've learned, what you you know and what you teach is a lie. That must be a sad life. Explain me, how is that is possible then? A 300 mi years old fish with brain tissue inside???? I'm waiting skeptic man. Denying the truth makes you a denialist
@@Bazdavies1 how was it debunked? I've seen the trex and the triceratops horn and both are flexible. How can it be 65mil years old again? The debunking videos are damage control is all. I've seen them.
soft tissue thing has been debunked a billion times
@@daniloarq you are denying reality. Its not actual soft tissue its the fossilized form of it. You cant extract dna from it Its not actually all squishy and soft like living brain tissue. Rapid burial(not global flood) allows on rare occasions for soft tissue to be fossilized under certain circumstances. Just because your teeny brain cant comprehend things doesnt mean god.
What about Dr Ariel Roth?
Why I'm a Creationist?
First 15 seconds: "I was born into a devout Christian family, regularly attending a strong bible believing church..."
just because someone was born into a Christian family,how does that prove that his beliefs arent true?
Soft tissue inside dino bones and horns is the proof we were waiting for, end of question! Evolucionism going down the drain. Sorry!
Indoctrinated since childhood and never get rid of it
@@arth188 hey atheist tell me smart guy, how life was originated on earth? Simple question man.
@@daniloarq i don't know
It behooves us to understand why some people, like your high school teacher, Andrew, get 'turned off' by Truth;
when some look at the church and see what so many have no eyes to see; that the church (yes, YOUR denomination and MINE)
are an emperor claiming to be clothed, while running around town naked as a pharisaical 'hippie'.
The Bible; the Word; Jesus never fail but especially those who claim to represent Christ today - let us be humbled and admit that we are morally decrepit like everyone else.
Creationism DOES make everything fit.
Nonsense. It does not make any of 10,000 clues as to the age of the earth fit. It does not make the absence of a global flood fit. It does not make the age of the stars fit. It does not explain the fossil layers. It does not explain the global earth. It does not explain observed observation. It does not explain the wisdom of handwashing. It does not explain the failure of dove blood to cure leprosy.
"Creationism DOES make everything fit...."
...by using a shoehorn of epic and twisted proportions.
to the point of it being a case of trying to cram a square peg in a round hole with a sledgehammer.
only if you ignore reality and just say god does creationism fit.
@Will Theaxe only certain geologic formations are made quickly. No one is denying that some are made catastrophically. But things like the white cliffs of dover are impossible in a short period of time
It's a very unusual combo, phd scientist and creationist. Maybe it works by compartmentalising the mind...Fascinating !
Not as unusual as you have been led to believe. If you are having issue on the science side, I recommend Darwin's black box. Written by an atheist, microbiologist that mocks and destroys evolutionary theory. The Bible is the beginning and end of truth in science and all else. If that is what you are really looking for that is were you will find it.

I find it strange that Andrew has dated rocks at 1.8 million years old but believes in a young earth. A bit of a paradox 6000 to 10,000 years or 1.8 million?
Because he find the dating methods unreliable it is showing inconsistencies
If you stood on a scale, which you know to be inaccurate, and it said you weigh millions of pounds would you believe it?
Also mentions negative million years. Sounds like he thinks there are serious problems with radiometric dating in general
It IS strange... But I think you mean 1.8 billion years old, not million.
1.8 million years is "yesterday" on the geologic time scale. It falls within the Pleistocene.... the period of the current ongoing episode of glaciation, which involves multiple cycles of advance and retreat of continental glaciers, each cycle spanning 10s of thousands of years.
You cannot understand the geologic history of the earth without understanding the geologic time scale. Earth's history is written into the rock record. It is a record of immensely greater detail and magnificence than ANYTHING written on paper. If you consider God to be the author of the geologic record, then you CANNOT fit this story into a span of just thousands of years. I'm sorry... but you make a mockery of God's creation (assuming you believe Earth to be God's creation) by misinterpreting the story of Earth's history written so magnificently into the rocks.
The notion that the entire story took place in 6000 years is an absurdity. Keep your faith in God if it's important to you, but don't make a mockery of the story told in the rock record, which YOU have the capacity to discover by using your mind.
He decided to leave hundreds of years of science at the door. The Bible is different from the science so he chooses the Bible.
Maybe if someone could provide a single example of observable evidence that verified Old Earth Evolutionism over Young Earth Creationism, there wouldn't be so many PhD scientists who believe such ideas.
You see, they understand the scientific method well enough to realize the ONLY difference between the two worldviews is philosophical. It's not a difference in scientific validity.
The reason why you don't realize this, Prof Phil Bell, is due to the fact you adhere to the self-refuting philosophy of Scientism without awareness of it.
It's the same reason why you're so dogmatically opposed to Flat Earth despite your completely inability to scientifically disprove it.
Science does not mean blind faith in the current consensus of academia like a religious text. That's Scientism. Science doesn't mean blind faith in Naturalism or any philosophy or body of information.
Science is a METHOD of discovery requiring no faith... including no blind faith in academia (or Naturalism)
You're likely the type who thinks peer-review is actually a step in the scientific method. You do, don't you? It's a common symptom of Scientism.
Look at all the frightened atheists. Always a laugh while being very sad at the same time.
Frightened of what?
@@profphilbell2075 you will see
@@thomasmanders255 As will you once the space tourism becomes commonplace.
@@thomasmanders255 what a non existing god? Things that arent real Im not scared of. You guys are the ones scared of reality aka the finality of death,

I can’t believe I wasted my time here. His life story of incredulity in spite of his education and not a hint of an example of where science is wrong and the Bible is correct.
And then you you wasted more time commenting about it. You should watch more videos.
Seek truth as God says, test all things. The truth will be revealed to you.
Hahahahhahahhahha please if I had a nickel every time I heard “the science” is settled I’d be a lot richer . I can hear your disdain in your comment please spare us your whining it wasted my time
@@asliketheson where is the science wrong. Let’s start with that.
@@profphilbell2075 no let’s start where the scripture isn’t . Scripture is finished written down . Science is what is changing .
He even describes how he was indoctrinated
Tell the truth! You are a Creationist because it is the easiest thing to believe and you don't have to twist and turn the truth and login into a pretzel to make all the evolution nonsense fit!
Dripping sarcasm from those who do not believe that there is One who created. Proving Psalm 14:1. Your worldview is making you blind.... wake up, please.
"Dripping sarcasm from those who do not believe that there is One who created. Proving Psalm 14:1. Your worldview is making you blind.... wake up, please."
Psalm 14:1 King James Version (KJV)
14 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Thanks for pointing out some lies in the Bible. First of all, atheism is not an assertion that there is no God, but is rather a lack of belief in the existence of God or gods. Secondly, atheists are majorly over-represented among those of high intelligence and wisdom, including at Ivy League universities, so atheists are not typically fools. Thirdly, atheists make up only 0.1% of the American federal prison population, while the other 99.9% are theists, showing that the Bible is wrong yet again. Nothing in Psalm 14:1 is actually true. Notice how the Bible confuses foolishness for wisdom, and wisdom for foolishness.
Barb Wilson it is your worldview that is making you blind to the facts.
It's interesting to hear of years of seemingly heavy indoctrination a faith. Similar to how we seem to view Islamic fundamentalist.
I can understand the importance of faith, but can't understand how the change takes place.
I thought this was going to describe the failures in geology resulting in the proof provided by the bible.
Sadly, and understandably, neither took place to prove or disprove either.
I am pleased for a man finding peace, I am concerned about the indoctrination!
The title may inform you why he spoke on his reason for his faith and creationist worldview. Now if you would like his take on geology and how it fits into God's Word, search for that and you will find.
@reeb9016 thank you for basically confirming my comment.
Good video
Actually a waste of time.
God said He made it all, the serpent says (and always says) 'Has God indeed said...?' Gen 3:1, NKJV, throwing doubt on God's Word, and Darwin says God didn't make it; it just popped into existence. Which one are you going to believe?
Darwin dos not comment at all on how anything was created.
@@clivenaylor5392 His whole theory, published in 1859, which I'm sure you've read, leaves no room for God in creation. From the perspective of his Theory, isn't this his comment on God's creation, that it just created itself?
I am a Creationist, as in God created everything--however, the earth and universe are old. I feel like you are attempting to highjack the term 'Creationist' and apply it only to young earth creationists. You should be specifying what creationist you are. If I called you an evolutionist... you would likely disagree even though you believe in microevolution. Please qualify your terms brother. I am so tired of hearing double tounged langugae 'As a bible believer' etc. As in, if you disagree you are not a bible believer...
The Best Classical Music Hi, I'm a Christian as wel, what is your reason to believe the earth is old?
Hi Tim:
Probably the strongest evidence is creation itself. For example light.
You mean the age of the universe is determind by the speed of light?
It is measured by it. Much like a tape measure uses inches to tell you how large a table is, light speed tells us how old the universe is.
The Best Classical Music I'm not quite sure about that. According to the bible, and this is my personal opinion about it, so I don't know how strong my theory holds up, or if it even makes sense at all.
Physics for light were different in the beginning. Because God Created light in an instant on the first day, it filled the complete universe at that moment, without light having a speed at all, and He made a distinction between light and darkness.so the first days and nights had nothing to do with the rotation of the earth or the sun. There were no stars at that time, those light sources came after the plants. Stars were added later and light got trapped in them so they became the source of light instead of God.
We know light elektrons have a different behaviour when observed in the lab. So light is special and you can't put it in the uniformitarianism camp because of this. Light could have moved around the earth, because there was no sun. With lights weird behaviour, it's capable of doing such things.
So on the 3rd day, light got trapped into the stars and they became the light sources, so light did not have to to travel at all to reach earth. This should be the moment where light became autonomous at it's speed got fixed.
is ego analysis
