Geology Conference

So last week, I was able to catch a geology up in Canada.
About 2,000 were in attendance from around the world.
And the topic was almost other worldly.

So, we finally have a collision between science and my Christian faith!

I could understand the subject matter easily.
Especially when presented in small monosyllabic words.
Fancy jargon is wasted on me!

But the jest of the matter was rock folding shows three cycles of destruction to sea spreading plates.
Evidenced by scars.
So magma fills in the holes created by the spreading plate.
Forming a scar.
but the scar becomes folded by further geologic movement.
And a new scar is formed!
And so on.

Talking with the lead speaker, I could understand better why geologists are anti-God.
They can hold truth in their hands and look at it.
Their interpretation may be completely wrong.
But try to say that without corresponding evidence!

So, I understood the problem better.

It turned out that the speaker was stranded in Vancouver because his scheduler messed up his dates.
So, I invited him home.
And this would become a weekend to remember!

(if only i had a memory!)
