The Kolbe Center for the Study of Creation has been working hard for many years to get across the idea that the earth is much younger than conventional wisdom would have us believe.
Directed by Hugh Owen, their efforts have been far larger than that of catholicfundamentalism.com. Our work is much simpler. We explore God’s power to program and compile energies and particles. We feel that He programmed and downloaded the universe as the Book of Genesis describes. The Kolbe Center for the Study of Creation goes into far more arduous work on the nitty-gritty problems of evolutionary theories.
Both catholicfundamentalism.com and The Kolbe Center for the Study of Creation have the same goal, establishing the reasonableness of Scripture. That gives credibility to The Church, Who continues to stand despite the attacks from Her many pseudo-scientific enemies.
This paragraph from a recent Kolbe Center report is particularly instructive:
“The discovery of collagen in a Tyrannosaurus-rex dinosaur femur bone was recently reported in the journal Science. When Triceratops and Hadrosaur femur bones in excellent condition were discovered by the Glendive (MT) Dinosaur & Fossil Museum, Miller asked and received permission to saw them in half and collect samples for C-14 testing of any bone collagen that might be extracted. Indeed both bones contained collagen and conventional dates of 30,890 ± 380 radiocarbon years (RC) for the Triceratops and 23,170 ±170 RC years for the Hadrosaur were obtained using the Accelerated Mass Spectrometer (AMS). Total organic carbon and/or dinosaur bone bio-apatite was then extracted and pretreated to remove potential contaminants and concordant radiocarbon dates were obtained, all of which were similar to radiocarbon dates for megafauna. Although the radiocarbon dates are not absolute dates, the fact that dinosaur bones consistently possess the same radiocarbon ages as other megafauna such as mastodons known to have been contemporary with man flatly contradicts the evolutionary time scale according to which dinosaurs became extinct 65 million years ago.”
It’s extremely doubtful that any of us will see that on the evening news, though it is about the most newsworthy thing that any of us have ever seen.
