How the Catastrophic 1980 Mount St. Helens Eruption Reshaped Creationist Geology Models

In 1980, the explosive eruption of Mount St. Helens radically altered the Pacific Northwest landscape in a matter of hours. Geologist Dr. Steven A. Austin and Dr. John D. Morris examine the rapid formation of new canyons, rapid stratification, and peat deposits created by the volcanic blast, arguing these rapid geological changes mirror ancient planetary processes.

Combining full-color field photography with field research data, the authors present a Young Earth creationist analysis of catastrophic geology, challenging gradualist evolutionary timelines.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Dr. Steven A. Austin and John D. Morris deliver striking full-color volcanic photography, field research observations, and creationist geological theory. A fascinating 2003 Master Books hardcover volume for readers interested in creation science and Mount St. Helens history.
