Geo Journal Week 8

        My wife and I like to go visit areas were we can go and experience fun exciting areas that have fun geological significance like mountains and Geysers.  A place nearby her hometown we found a path that led Spring of water out and away from a cave her and her friends would go to to hang out. In this cave were cool formations and erratic and had cool Stalagmites and stalagmites that were all over the cave. Done the path of the cave was this really cool hot spring that people would meet up and hang out. My wife and her friends would often look around for petrified wood and other cool materials to keep as keepsakes and we would do the same whenever we would visit.

This article happened here in Washington where I live. It is actually in the same county I live and go to work in. The past month had experienced the worst downpour that the state of Washington had ever seen. This has led to many issues and natural accidents involving rain water and injuries. Many areas near MT rainier has experienced land and mud slides due to the large amount of rain in the past month.

Geo journal week 6 Age of Earth vs The Bible

"Science teaches us that the Earth is 4.54 billion years old. Write a journal entry that explains how you reconcile the apparent conflict between this and the creation of the Earth according to the Bible."

My personal theory 1: God's time is different than our time and His days are hundreds of millions of human years. We know that time varies when it travels at faster speeds. Perhaps this is what caused the difference in time?

Theory #2 and my strongest argument- That God took matter that was already existing and organized it into the world that we know as earth. There is evidence to suggest that parts of the earth are not consistent with the layout or life on earth. 

Needless tho say there is nothing to really suggest that any of these theories are correct. I am sure that the more we understand the earth and look into its composition that the mysteries of the universe will unveil itself to those that seek. 

Geo Journal week 5

Here is a picture of my (future) marble counter top. This is one of my favorite type of material for counter top because it is very beautiful and very tough and durable. Marble is a metamorphic rock composed of recrystallized carbonate minerals, most commonly calcite or dolomite.

Geo Journal Week 4

  Here is a set of sedimentary rocks down in Zion's National Park in southern Utah. I really think its neat how they form like a checkerboard and are very visible. My wife and I were able to go down during the early spring of 2018 and had a great time hiking.

Geo Journal week 2

 This week we are talking about minerals and I am very excited. The mineral that I had found a few years ago was a piece of pyrite. I remember I was really excited at first  thinking that I could sell it for money but turns out that these are very common. The piece I found was really cool since it was a large cube and had a smaller cube trying to leave the structure which I thought was super cool. Pyrite is classified as a sulfide. I ended up giving it to my father because he collects little nick nacks on his desk  and I thought it would make for a cool paper weight. The picture is exactly identical to the piece I gave my father. I will update the blog when he sends me a better photo of the pyrite.
