GSA has a published, well-known position that creationism is NOT SCIENCE. Austin has a 30 year track record of creationist pseudo-geological research. Guilt by association?

I'm definitely going to repost what I can (as soon as I get over the jetlag from the trip back and finish organizing my own thoughts about the meeting).Jessica Ballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117925212295349320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18321380.post-62776812374560656022009-10-21T02:26:21.906-05:002009-10-21T02:26:21.906-05:00Rock Head,

It sounds like Dr. Austin kept the geology fairly straight and the YEC phraseology was ambiguous enough that no one could call him on it.<br /><br />I am a little bit curious as to what exactly he means by "self-organized criticality." I take it he didn't give much of a definition?Rock Headhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05543769768515349524noreply@blogger.com
