Salvador at Young Cosmos claims he may have discovered confirmation of a specific young earth creationist light decay theory. If you have any knowledge in that area, he's looking for comments and second opinions at the young cosmos discussion forum.

Yesterday was a record day for attendance at the Creation Museum; at just under 4000, it was largest number of people seen at the museum since its opening day. Answers magazine now has an area at the bottom of their website for their  "Journal of Biblical and Scientific Studies," a free online collection of technical articles related to creation research. The most recent is Jean Lightner's brief article, "The Highly Efficient Genome" (not for the fainthearted. Remember these are technical). There is also a critique of the framework hypothesis of the creation account (in two parts), and an assessment of modern theories that put gaps in biblical genealogies.

There is a YEC geology conference going on this weekend at Cedarville University, which I sadly was unable to attend. But the next best thing has been posted at C & B Research News, a summary from someone who is attending--namely, Ian Juby. Here's an excerpt:

There was roughly 50 people who showed up for this event; the first ever of it's kind, and a long time coming. It is being hosted at Cedarville University in Cedarville, Ohio.

The purpose of the conference is for Creation Geologists to bounce ideas off of other professionals; this is intended to be the place for model proposal and building where experts can critique your work and ideas.

Andrew Snelling drew the long straw and got to go first, giving us an update on his work cataloging and tabulating Radiohalo populations in various rock types, including various metamorphic rocks. This is a continuation of research from multiple researchers being carried out for literally decades, starting with Dr. Robert Gentry

Lee Spencer then presented a model for fossil distribution during a global flood related to biomes; that is, biological zonation and its possible relationship to why we find fossils where we do in the fossil record.

John Whitmore then attempted to address some of the claims made by old-earthers regarding reef formation and the possibility (as well as the methods) for rapid reef formation in a post-flood world.

I then gave my first paper which basically showed the research that was carried out in Glen Rose on two flumes at the Creation Evidence museum. . .
