Valley of fire, NM, Devils tower, ND, Crater Lake, OR, Glacier NP, MT, Yellowstone, WY, Craters of the Moon, ID, and Shiprock, NM). These places ignited my curiosity of geology which brought me to your videos. I had some very basic knowledge but your videos are so jammed packed with information that it may take me a couple of viewings to catch it all. What text would you suggest I get to supplement your lectures?

Thanks for the positive feedback! There are two books I recommend depending on how deeply you wish to delve at a freshman level. If you want a standard freshman book, go with Tarbuck, Lutgens, and Tassa's Geology textbooks (feel free to use an older edition). If you want a deeper understanding (sort of an "honors" level freshman textbook), use Davidson, Reed, and Davis. I knew all three professors (took classes from two of them myself) and despite the book being older, it is still the best one out there. www.amazon.com/Exploring-Earth-Introduction-Physical-Geology/dp/0130183725/ref=sr_1_7?crid=1UMNPD0JGM9YG&keywords=geology+davidson&qid=1665012344&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIxLjUyIiwicXNhIjoiMC4wMCIsInFzcCI6IjAuMDAifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=geology+davidson%2Caps%2C114&sr=8-7
@@EarthandSpaceSciencesX thanks for the book info. I’m actually a undergraduate. I just couldn’t commit my life to it.

It’s the thing that’s in and I’m sure the feds would be giddy about it.

It is widely understood the moons influence on ocean tides and currents. What is it's gravitational influence on geological structures and plates tectonic events.
It's not believed to have too much of an influence on the earth's lithosphere (the math is pretty clear on that) though over the years some people have speculated that tidal forces may help trigger earthquakes in a semi-predictable fashion (the idea being that the tidal force is just enough to cause a highly stressed fault system to finally rupture). The evidence for that at this point is poor though I'm sure someone somewhere is still working on it.
I'm considering doing a virtual field trip there to discuss it. I was just there a few months ago and fell in love with the rocks and landscapes. A real geologic gem. Thanks for the good suggestion.
@@EarthandSpaceSciencesX I was there this weekend. It is, as you say, a geological gem. Please plan on covering the Big Bend area too. Some of the ancient Appalachian mountain even stretch to that area. I made up a saying which I repeat often, “ Big Bend gives light a place to Dance.” Its beauty will bring tears if you have a soul at all.
But why in the subduction it's always the denser plate which gets subducted? I mean wherever I search this I get the answer which says "because it is dense" or "because has more gravitational force' etc. which CANNOT BE TRUE as even though it's more dense but it was still floating before collision so what actually happened at the collision that it got subducted? Density and buoyancy should not play a role here.....please help me in understanding this
I have camped there at the lake a few times over the years and really loved it. Utah's geology is some of the most exemplary in the world. I'll definitely consider it!
Thank you for these wonderful lectures ❤ i am addicted to watching them and looking for the next one you said you would do at the end of this video: the death of mountains (landslides and mass wasting) and i cannot find it 😭 please did you record this lecture in the end and where can i find it?
Thank you for the kind and encouraging words! The landslides lecture is in preparation right now (I have to film when the kids are in bed and get it all closed captioned, so it takes quite a bit of time). Hopefully have it done within a week or so.
I am a historian (and former carpenter), but with a curious mind and wants to make certain the mountains in my homebrew roleplaying campaign are accurate (that carpenter-historian mind wanting accuracy always). I also lived in Sisimiut for three years, and Greenland is a geologically very interesting place even to an ignorant like me (not entirely ignorant 30 minutes in, I have not learned anything new, I expect that to come).

Listening to the very end of the lecture about South Africa and wondering if it is a precursor to something like the Siberian or Deccan Traps where a whole area becomes volcanic over a very long time leading to mass extinctions? I was thinking that in geologic time in might be soon but that might be a million years or so.
I have heard that Joints can be found in all parts of the World regardless of what kind of Rock it is and it's GeoChemistry. Professor, would you.Agree? I also understand they can be very Naturally Occuring in the Limestones. Is this True?
I just subscribed and liked the video. I've been watching Nick Zentner's videos and love road trips, so I went up to Central Washington's University Campus in Ellensberg WA and met him. What a guy! This video answered a lot of the questions that his videos created for me. I grew up in California and learned the subduction / Pluton, batholith story of the Sierra Nevada as I grew up. What is your story?
Problem is that this video uses the old model of 150 Ma of westward subduction. That has been thoroughly discredited. We may not be exactly sure what went on, but it is clear that it was NOT 150 Ma of continuous Andean-type subduction punctuated with terrane accretion. The tomography of Sigloch et al alone rules that out.
The Grand Canyon is perhaps the best place to study if you wan to know the truth about where all the sedimentary layers came from and more importantly, how they came to be. The first important thing to note is that there is no erosion of any kind between the layers, from the rim of the canyon all the way down 4000 feet to the Colorado River. There is no passage of time. This is true of the sediments in every direction from the Grand canyon, all the way across the entire globe. This is our very first indication that the earth, and especially the sedimentary layers, are not millions or 100's of millions of years old. In 1980, Mt St Helens erupted. The material and rock that came out of the volcano transformed the landscape, laying down sedimentary layers up to 600 ft thick. 2 years later, seismic activity caused mud flows down the slopes, carving out canyons in the sediments and deep into solid bedrock, creating canyons 100's of ft deep, all in a couple of days. These catastrophic events are very compelling evidence that the earth is not very old, and that the Grand Canyon was carved out in just weeks, not millions of years.
Arent't you a little bit dishonest? All these BS points about no erosion between the Grand Canyon layers, the Mt. St. Helens analogy and the Grand Canyon having formed within weeks are not based on any scientific research. They are based on what creationist apologists who have masked themselves as scientists are spreading. Your comment was not meant to enhance geological knowledge. It was meant to push your religious beliefs.
A video about the Donbas is one of my current projects (hopefully release it in the next two weeks) and the Ukrainian shield will be discussed in the context of that structure.
Yes i am a computer scientist but I'm learning geology it's really interesting and neat stuff! And your lectures are very clear, informative, and energetic ... it's a bless that such high level content is available for free!!
✅. Rehwinkel’s “The Flood” is an excellent resource for historical and scientific analysis of Genesis 6-8. The publication is dated 1951 so obviously some of the scientific knowledge is dated. The concept of plate tectonics, for instance, wasn’t developed till the late 1950’s and 60’s. However the explanation and analysis of antediluvian history and the discoveries in archeology are, I believe, unparalleled in any other work on the subject, from a distinctly theocratic perspective.
Very interesting lectures with a lot of detailed information. It is all about Plate Tectonics. I know that Expansion Tectonics is mostly dismissed by geologists. Observations on other planets and moons present data about volcanic activities and plumes of emitted gas. There is however no subduction observed. This might lead to new insights about Expansion. Perhaps we should review the dismissed theory of Expansion Tectonics on earth. It's clear that there is subduction, but the spreading of the ocean floor could be bigger than the subduction. Especially looking at the huge mountains that arise in subduction zones.
... well earth if size of billiard ball would be smooth to touch, , so gravity and weak rock sorta mean no mtn is massive, , , just to take opposite view..
Were I live is a mountain, Hawaii is a volcano, my mountain is cold and dead... Hawaii is alive and kicking! Definitely a difference between the two... calling them both a mountain is hypercritical to me....
There are metamorphic mountains. The Chocolate Mountains of California are a good example, but their origins requires a more advanced treatment of Mountain Building than this introductory lecture can go into.
@@EarthandSpaceSciencesX nope they were all formed in a multifaceted cataclysm 4500 years ago. This process began with the rupture of the earth's crust and the violent expulsion of all of the water we see in today's oceans. The fountains of the deep are the midoceanic ridges of today and were the boundaries of the continents we have now. This violent eruption covered all of the world's landmass with 1-3 miles of sediment which we clearly see today. The continents later separated, sliding into the positions held today. This very violent event produced ALL of the earth's mountains rivers, oceans canyons etc., and caused all of the volcanic activity that produced places like the Olympic and Cascade ranges and that persists today. During this event, natural dams broke and released water into the oceans carving out places and the mesa areas of the world including S Africa and Jordan,the grand canyon in 2 weeks while producing the continental shelves as a consequence. Simple, plausible, evidence-based, and DOCUMENTED. Case closed. Make up all the nonsense you want but thats what happened.
@@brontehauptmann4217 oh give it up, that's all a lie and you know it. Jesus Christ is the truth, not Henry Morris. Why do you reject the clear geographical location of Eden as described in Genesis 2? Why do you claim that your made up NON-biblical fantasy of sprinting continents is "evidence based and documented" when I cannot find ANY evidence or documentation ANYWHERE? Bearing false witness is a serious sin and you are in serious need of repentance.
@@theTavis01 The garden of Eden has been destroyed and LOST. The Cataclysm that Noah saw as a flood was far more than just a flood. It was an earth-changing series of events that created EVERY geological feature on earth while simultaneously OBLITERATING all of the previous geology and biology and permanently altering the lifespans and sizes of the life that survived. I will point you to Hydroplate Theory by Dr Walt Brown. I am sorry that your analytical ability matches your research ability and both conspire against your general ability to gather important information regarding God's word. Your ignorance does not constitute me being a liar.
@@theTavis01 Locations described in Genesis apply to the preflood world which has little in common with the post-flood world. Eden is forever lost, destroyed even.
How did all these layers occur so nicely horizontal 11,000 feet on top of each other all over the planet? Ancient knowledge from various sources tells us about a celestial body that causes disasters all over our planet. And that happens at long time intervals. That celestial body, a planet that is orbiting our sun in an eccentric orbit, has a very strong gravitational force when it is crossing the ecliptic plane of the other planets at a very high speed, close to our planet Earth. That gravitational force pulls up water even above the highest mountains. When that gravity decreases the water falls back onto our planet mixed with sand, clay, lime, fossils of terrestrial and marine animals, shells and a deposit of dust and meteorites from the cloud that is surrounding that planet 9. A several feet thick mud layer remains. The confusing fact for geologists is that every layer contains organic matter from animals and vegetation that lived and grew at the time the layer was formed, but also very ancient deposition from the dust cloud that is surrounding planet 9. And this deposition must be the same age in each layer from top to bottom. Thanks to James Hutton and Charles Lyell, geologists took the wrong turn. To learn much more about the recurring flood cycle, the re-creation of civilizations and its chronology and ancient high technology, read the e-book: "Planet 9 = Nibiru". It can be read on any computer, tablet or smartphone. Search: invisible nibiru 9
I watch a lot of Geology videos, and everything makes so much more sense when put in the context of a global flood that shaped, formed and eroded everything. It's funny how all this geologists see that everything was shaped by water, but will close their eyes and plug their ears when they hear of a global flood.
@@texhunter1820 Superstition! the global flood is a fact the flood of the Bible best explains all geology fact there's fossils everywhere there's layers everywhere in fact it was all caused by water
@@texhunter1820 I agree. It's amazing how much faith it takes to believe that everything we see, life and it's extreme complexities came out of nothing.
It’s funny if you look at the flat irons in Colorado It looks as though those mountains were formed cosmic event not over the course of millions of years
@@theTavis01 no actually I agree with the Bible timeline. I’m saying it was an overnite catastrophe and those mountains shot up quickly. Sorry. Ishould have explained more. Have a blessed day sir
@@anthonyfimia6969 I understood exactly what you were saying, and I firmly stand by my rebuke. The idea that you can just explain away all of geology by invoking Noah's Flood is blasphemously dishonest. If you ACTUALLY take the Bible seriously, why do you reject the CLEAR geographical location given for Eden in Chapter 2 of Genesis? Oh yeah, because it's on top of 2 vertical miles of sedimentary deposits and your cult leaders can't have that. Henry Morris is not Jesus Christ. Come back to the Truth.
@@theTavis01 fantastic and the entire time I’ve ever had a comment posted on UA-cam you’re the first person to ever actually rebuke me or acknowledge it so thank you very much bud I’ve been in the hospital for seven straight days I’ve had two operations and I’m feeling better now so that’s why I’m looking through things but I am on so much Dilaudid that I would agree with Satan himself because I am so agreeable😂😂😂😂😂
@@noobsaibot5285 There is a 90% chance you are trying to pretend like Noah's flood can account for all of geology, and that is a lie that is not found in the Bible or in science. But since you won't come out and say it, who knows....
@@theTavis01 Clown world mate. You tell me why these alps have folded unbroken rock layers and sea fossils at extreme elevations. The slow cook idea is just braindead.

@@noobsaibot5285 Go read a geology textbook if you want answers to those basic questions. But you won't, because you are in *_rebellion_* against the truth, puffed up by your pseudo-gnostic pride to look down your nose at the rest of the world, as if you know better than all the world's geologists who work for the mining and energy industries that run your unappreciative life.. You are in a cult started by Henry Morris in the 1900's that has nothing to do with the Bible or with science or with the truth. Wake up. The completely dishonest and completely nonsensical fantasies peddled by young earth creationists are DAMAGING the Bible's credibility. You CANNOT defend the Bible with lies, you can only tarnish it.
Even though I’m not an expert on the subject I must admit that, after listening for more than 1 hour you rambling on, you never mentioned the involvement of our Creator ‼️. Not a word and that for sure is very disappointing to many of your viewers who believe what’s mentioned in Genesis and beyond. ✅. God the Owner “The earth is the LORD's, and its fullness; the world, and those who dwell therein.” (Psalm 24:1) In communist countries "the people" own the lands, while in capitalist countries individuals can own "private property". Both are myths, unless they are seen as a stewardship of God. We don't really own anything, "for we have brought nothing into this world, and it is certain that we can get nothing out of it" (1 Timothy 6:7). In the mineral kingdom, the most important substances are the precious metals on which monetary standards are based, but God makes it clear that all the silver is mine and the gold is mine (Haggai 2:8). The greatest members of the vegetable kingdom are the mighty trees of the forest, and God reminds us that “the trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted” (Psalm 104:16). All the birds and beasts in the animal kingdom are also His. "For all the beasts of the forest are mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills" (Psalm 50:10). Time and again God reminds us that "the whole earth is mine" (Exodus 19:5), and even the infinite heavens belong to Him. “Behold, the heavens and the heavens of heavens are the LORD your God, and the earth, and all that is in it” (Deuteronomy 10:14). God has indeed given man "rule . . . over all the earth" (Genesis 1:26), and Satan has indeed falsely claimed "all the kingdoms of the world" (Luke 4:5-6), but the fact remains that "the Most High reigns in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomsoever he will" (Daniel 4:32). Above all, every Christian must understand that he and everything he has belongs to God through both creation and blood-bought redemption. "You are not your own...for you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's" (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).
chunks of the firmament could have detached en masse, particularly in the area of the "milky way"; that area appeared to have been targeted extensively and to no avail, meaning there is no way to get out of the dome; particularly enormous sections came down causing controlled but yet tremendous upheaval, forming mountainous ranges all over the place, himalayas, alps and so on. the firmament is a minefield, each dot representing where the torpedoes hit during one of many attempts at garnering its resilience; occasionally you get the flawed ordnance flaring up, quite a show, you know, the "comets" and the resulting "meteor showers". what a show! also, millennia after millennia, all we have to do is to make this dome a fabulous place, but for some being stuck in a dome just doesn't cut it

@@EarthandSpaceSciencesX thanks for the book info. I’m actually a undergraduate. I just couldn’t commit my life to it. I didn’t think of a NPO with a hydrologist and engineer to convert dams for hydroelectric back then. A idea you may want to lecture your students on today. It’s the thing that’s in and I’m sure the feds would be giddy about it.
An amazing lecture, really interesting and clearly explained.
Many thanks!
It would be cool to see if the advances in terrain LiDAR could look deep enough to study mountains.
*The Grand Passage Tomb.*
The Newgrange monument is located in Ireland and was constructed over fifty-two-hundred years ago, it defines the winter solstice and celebrates a rebirth of the Sun.

It is widely understood the moons influence on ocean tides and currents. What is it's gravitational influence on geological structures and plates tectonic events.
It's not believed to have too much of an influence on the earth's lithosphere (the math is pretty clear on that) though over the years some people have speculated that tidal forces may help trigger earthquakes in a semi-predictable fashion (the idea being that the tidal force is just enough to cause a highly stressed fault system to finally rupture). The evidence for that at this point is poor though I'm sure someone somewhere is still working on it.
What about the Llano Uplift in Central Texas?
I'm considering doing a virtual field trip there to discuss it. I was just there a few months ago and fell in love with the rocks and landscapes. A real geologic gem. Thanks for the good suggestion.
@@EarthandSpaceSciencesX I was there this weekend. It is, as you say, a geological gem. Please plan on covering the Big Bend area too. Some of the ancient Appalachian mountain even stretch to that area. I made up a saying which I repeat often, “ Big Bend gives light a place to Dance.” Its beauty will bring tears if you have a soul at all.
But why in the subduction it's always the denser plate which gets subducted? I mean wherever I search this I get the answer which says "because it is dense" or "because has more gravitational force' etc. which CANNOT BE TRUE as even though it's more dense but it was still floating before collision so what actually happened at the collision that it got subducted? Density and buoyancy should not play a role here.....please help me in understanding this
You should do a video on Tony Grove -area Utah! That place is insane.
I have camped there at the lake a few times over the years and really loved it. Utah's geology is some of the most exemplary in the world. I'll definitely consider it!

I'm trying to find more information about the Magaliesburg Mountains, Gauteng, South Africa 🇿🇦, which is +/- 2 billion years old. ❤️❤️👍👌👍
Listening to the very end of the lecture about South Africa and wondering if it is a precursor to something like the Siberian or Deccan Traps where a whole area becomes volcanic over a very long time leading to mass extinctions? I was thinking that in geologic time in might be soon but that might be a million years or so.
I have heard that Joints can be found in all parts of the World regardless of what kind of Rock it is and it's GeoChemistry. Professor, would you.Agree? I also understand they can be very Naturally Occuring in the Limestones. Is this True?

I just subscribed and liked the video. I've been watching Nick Zentner's videos and love road trips, so I went up to Central Washington's University Campus in Ellensberg WA and met him. What a guy! This video answered a lot of the questions that his videos created for me. I grew up in California and learned the subduction / Pluton, batholith story of the Sierra Nevada as I grew up. What is your story?
I also have been listening to Nick - just went on a geological great floods
Problem is that this video uses the old model of 150 Ma of westward subduction. That has been thoroughly discredited.
We may not be exactly sure what went on, but it is clear that it was NOT 150 Ma of continuous Andean-type subduction punctuated with terrane accretion. The tomography of Sigloch et al alone rules that out.
Thank you! 😃
You are most welcome!
Great lessons! Thanks!
My pleasure!
Geology rocks, but geography’s where it’s at.

The Grand Canyon is perhaps the best place to study if you wan to know the truth about where all the sedimentary layers came from and more importantly, how they came to be. The first important thing to note is that there is no erosion of any kind between the layers, from the rim of the canyon all the way down 4000 feet to the Colorado River. There is no passage of time. This is true of the sediments in every direction from the Grand canyon, all the way across the entire globe. This is our very first indication that the earth, and especially the sedimentary layers, are not millions or 100's of millions of years old.
In 1980, Mt St Helens erupted. The material and rock that came out of the volcano transformed the landscape, laying down sedimentary layers up to 600 ft thick. 2 years later, seismic activity caused mud flows down the slopes, carving out canyons in the sediments and deep into solid bedrock, creating canyons 100's of ft deep, all in a couple of days. These catastrophic events are very compelling evidence that the earth is not very old, and that the Grand Canyon was carved out in just weeks, not millions of years.
Arent't you a little bit dishonest? All these BS points about no erosion between the Grand Canyon layers, the Mt. St. Helens analogy and the Grand Canyon having formed within weeks are not based on any scientific research. They are based on what creationist apologists who have masked themselves as scientists are spreading.
Your comment was not meant to enhance geological knowledge. It was meant to push your religious beliefs.
Please make video about Ukrainian shield(geological structure)
A video about the Donbas is one of my current projects (hopefully release it in the next two weeks) and the Ukrainian shield will be discussed in the context of that structure.

@@EarthandSpaceSciencesX what textbook would you suggest to follow your course? thanks 🙏
✅. Rehwinkel’s “The Flood” is an excellent resource for historical and scientific analysis of Genesis 6-8. The publication is dated 1951 so obviously some of the scientific knowledge is dated. The concept of plate tectonics, for instance, wasn’t developed till the late 1950’s and 60’s. However the explanation and analysis of antediluvian history and the discoveries in archeology are, I believe, unparalleled in any other work on the subject, from a distinctly theocratic perspective.
I want episode 17 RIGHT MEOW
Why is gold silver our minerals found under these mountains .. must be things going on under them
Geologic fluids associated with igneous processes and metasomatism can cause this to happen deep underneath these tectonically active areas.
The mountain view in the intro would work greatly with Lord of th Rings music
Completely agree. :)
Hey, who you calling igneous?
Very interesting lectures with a lot of detailed information. It is all about Plate Tectonics. I know that Expansion Tectonics is mostly dismissed by geologists. Observations on other planets and moons present data about volcanic activities and plumes of emitted gas. There is however no subduction observed. This might lead to new insights about Expansion. Perhaps we should review the dismissed theory of Expansion Tectonics on earth. It's clear that there is subduction, but the spreading of the ocean floor could be bigger than the subduction. Especially looking at the huge mountains that arise in subduction zones.
where is lecture 17 ??
Buried in the rocks. 😁
... well earth if size of billiard ball would be smooth to touch, , so gravity and weak rock sorta mean no mtn is massive, , , just to take opposite view..
it would be good if it were translated into Portuguese other languages, it's a pity that in Brazil this type of study is "limited"
I don’t speak Portuguese but I can have the computer auto-translate the captions to Portuguese. Would that be of some use?
Maybe if the other plate was willing to subduct first, without being asked, then hotter, younger plates wouldn’t mind subducting.

I get it, but for me a volcano is not a mountain... it's a time bomb!
all mountains are either sedimentary or volcanic in their origin
There are metamorphic mountains. The Chocolate Mountains of California are a good example, but their origins requires a more advanced treatment of Mountain Building than this introductory lecture can go into.
@@EarthandSpaceSciencesX nope they were all formed in a multifaceted cataclysm 4500 years ago. This process began with the rupture of the earth's crust and the violent expulsion of all of the water we see in today's oceans.
The fountains of the deep are the midoceanic ridges of today and were the boundaries of the continents we have now.
This violent eruption covered all of the world's landmass with 1-3 miles of sediment which we clearly see today.
The continents later separated, sliding into the positions held today. This very violent event produced ALL of the earth's mountains rivers, oceans canyons etc., and caused all of the volcanic activity that produced places like the Olympic and Cascade ranges and that persists today.
During this event, natural dams broke and released water into the oceans carving out places and the mesa areas of the world including S Africa and Jordan,the grand canyon in 2 weeks while producing the continental shelves as a consequence.
Simple, plausible, evidence-based, and DOCUMENTED.
Case closed.
Make up all the nonsense you want but thats what happened.
@@brontehauptmann4217 oh give it up, that's all a lie and you know it. Jesus Christ is the truth, not Henry Morris. Why do you reject the clear geographical location of Eden as described in Genesis 2? Why do you claim that your made up NON-biblical fantasy of sprinting continents is "evidence based and documented" when I cannot find ANY evidence or documentation ANYWHERE? Bearing false witness is a serious sin and you are in serious need of repentance.
@@theTavis01 The garden of Eden has been destroyed and LOST.
The Cataclysm that Noah saw as a flood was far more than just a flood. It was an earth-changing series of events that created EVERY geological feature on earth while simultaneously OBLITERATING all of the previous geology and biology and permanently altering the lifespans and sizes of the life that survived.
I will point you to Hydroplate Theory by Dr Walt Brown.

How did all these layers occur so nicely horizontal 11,000 feet on top of each other all over the planet? Ancient knowledge from various sources tells us about a celestial body that causes disasters all over our planet. And that happens at long time intervals. That celestial body, a planet that is orbiting our sun in an eccentric orbit, has a very strong gravitational force when it is crossing the ecliptic plane of the other planets at a very high speed, close to our planet Earth. That gravitational force pulls up water even above the highest mountains. When that gravity decreases the water falls back onto our planet mixed with sand, clay, lime, fossils of terrestrial and marine animals, shells and a deposit of dust and meteorites from the cloud that is surrounding that planet 9. A several feet thick mud layer remains. The confusing fact for geologists is that every layer contains organic matter from animals and vegetation that lived and grew at the time the layer was formed, but also very ancient deposition from the dust cloud that is surrounding planet 9. And this deposition must be the same age in each layer from top to bottom. Thanks to James Hutton and Charles Lyell, geologists took the wrong turn. To learn much more about the recurring flood cycle, the re-creation of civilizations and its chronology and ancient high technology, read the e-book: "Planet 9 = Nibiru". It can be read on any computer, tablet or smartphone. Search: invisible nibiru 9

Wow, this guy has mesmerized the book. Regurgitated information. No truth at all.
growing earth theory better explains geology
The flood of Noah did it the flood best explains everything we see in geology
I watch a lot of Geology videos, and everything makes so much more sense when put in the context of a global flood that shaped, formed and eroded everything. It's funny how all this geologists see that everything was shaped by water, but will close their eyes and plug their ears when they hear of a global flood.

Even though I’m not an expert on the subject I must admit that, after listening for more than 1 hour you rambling on, you never mentioned the involvement of our Creator ‼️. Not a word and that for sure is very disappointing to many of your viewers who believe what’s mentioned in Genesis and beyond.
✅. God the Owner
“The earth is the LORD's, and its fullness; the world, and those who dwell therein.” (Psalm 24:1)
In communist countries "the people" own the lands, while in capitalist countries individuals can own "private property". Both are myths, unless they are seen as a stewardship of God. We don't really own anything, "for we have brought nothing into this world, and it is certain that we can get nothing out of it" (1 Timothy 6:7).
In the mineral kingdom, the most important substances are the precious metals on which monetary standards are based, but God makes it clear that all the silver is mine and the gold is mine (Haggai 2:8). The greatest members of the vegetable kingdom are the mighty trees of the forest, and God reminds us that “the trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted” (Psalm 104:16). All the birds and beasts in the animal kingdom are also His. "For all the beasts of the forest are mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills" (Psalm 50:10).
Time and again God reminds us that "the whole earth is mine" (Exodus 19:5), and even the infinite heavens belong to Him. “Behold, the heavens and the heavens of heavens are the LORD your God, and the earth, and all that is in it” (Deuteronomy 10:14).
God has indeed given man "rule . . . over all the earth" (Genesis 1:26), and Satan has indeed falsely claimed "all the kingdoms of the world" (Luke 4:5-6), but the fact remains that "the Most High reigns in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomsoever he will" (Daniel 4:32).
Above all, every Christian must understand that he and everything he has belongs to God through both creation and blood-bought redemption. "You are not your own...for you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's" (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).
if you think this video goes against God as Creator, you need to re-read Romans 1:20.
chunks of the firmament could have detached en masse, particularly in the area of the "milky way"; that area appeared to have been targeted extensively and to no avail, meaning there is no way to get out of the dome; particularly enormous sections came down causing controlled but yet tremendous upheaval, forming mountainous ranges all over the place, himalayas, alps and so on. the firmament is a minefield, each dot representing where the torpedoes hit during one of many attempts at garnering its resilience; occasionally you get the flawed ordnance flaring up, quite a show, you know, the "comets" and the resulting "meteor showers".
what a show! also, millennia after millennia, all we have to do is to make this dome a fabulous place, but for some being stuck in a dome just doesn't cut it
