However an examination of other articles by the same author in Ex Nihilo
reveals that, to Snelling 1, everything geological (Ayers Rock, Mt Isa ore
deposits, Bass Strait
oil and gas, Queensland coal
deposits, Great Barrier Reef, etc.,) can be explained as the result of Noah's year - long Flood.
Ironically, the very marine core drilling expedition (Brinkhuis et al and many other papers last year in Nature) that yielded disturbing indications that the Arctic climate can warm more dramatically than previously thought also
revealed extremely organic - rich sediments which might portend
oil deposits — which, if tapped would help restore the very conditions under which these organics were
deposited in the first place.
