I’ve camped and hiked all over the Arches and Moab so that makes sense too. Now please tell me what the heck happened near Grand Junction where all the mountains are cut off at the top making buttes. What happened there?

    I grew up in the shadows of the Flatirons, and drove past the Hogbacks to the Red Rocks for concerts. I was lucky enough to have a great geology teacher in seventh grade, and have been fascinated ever since. He taught us about the how the Flatirons were created, and I knew that the other side was somewhere near Eagle, but I never did see it. Thank you for teaching us. Your teaching style rocks, and is very uplifting. I am hooked.

    I subscribed three videos ago. I love your explanations, and the field trips that we get to go on without having to hike or get hot in the sun. I feel as though I am taking college courses which are 100 times better than the ones that I took in college. Thank you so much. I’ve always loved geology and driving through the Colorado and Utah mountains. I always wonder what caused the things that I am seeing. And now I realize that I can watch your videos and learn so much as I sew.

    Hello Myron. Loving your videos. Can you please clarify something in this video? I completely understand the blocks moving the distance and speed you described. Amazing!!! Late in the video you described the volcanics that were stacked above these blocks. Were they there at the time this slide occurred? If so, could it be that this amount of material crumbling and compressing down created this movement? I imagine a scenario similar to pouring concrete in a footing. You can stack the concrete pretty high before the stack collapses and flows along the trench, either by volume of vibration. Thanks

    Hi Myron. Wow, a year ago and we just found this. OMG, we think we have watched nearly all of your published video episodes so far. So, we're starting to panic. We like to watch youtube science documentaries after dinner. Get settled on the couch and learn stuff. Tonight, we watched a couple other shows first. Then I said "ok here we go, got a treat for you" My wife just kind of grumbles and says, "oh yeah, what". I said, "it's a Myron show". "OH" she says "Myron. Oh boy". She sits up straight, gets all attentive, and says "OK, I'm ready, let see. What's it about". -- Congratulations, Myron, you have succeeded in capturing my wife's attentiveness like nobody else.

    I had a summer job working for the Wyoming State Engineer. They had some kind of treaty that demanded that 3/4ths of the water in the North Platte River had to make it out of Wyoming to Nebraska. To accomplish this we had to measure all the flows in all the tributaries. We also had to measure how much was being pumped out of the aquifers for irrigation. Looks like they should revisit the law. Nebraska has plenty of water. Let Wyoming have all they can use.

    I went to school at the U of W and we had lot's of "woodsies" in that area. 50 years later in Houston Texas I bought de-composed granite for my private road. I just used it for pothole repair. The stuff was magic. But it cost more that twice what crushed limestone or concrete cost. Those materials have a tendency to form a crust which then erodes underneath and you've got your pothole again. The de-composed granite didn't do that. Then I began to wonder why it's so expensive when there's an un-exhaustable supply at "Happy Jack", Wyo. Re gold? That stuff itself is worth more than gold. Load up gondolas and transport it all over the country. You'll make a mint.

    17:05 what he is explaining here can be explained in the bible, during the receding period of Noah’s flood after all the sedimentary rocks where laid down in there current layers per their specific gravity, plate tectonics came into play and pushed up the mountains. Genesis chapters 6, 7, and 8, in chapter eight you can see that the ark came to rest on a high place and the mountains became visible after it was already aground, implying that plate tectonics movement pushed the mountains up out of the water to make them visible in just a few days or weeks time. Isn’t it neat that the Bible implies plate tectonics long before that was ever thought of?

    According to another source an asteroid impacted earth in the region of Bimini 11.4k years ago,breaking up just before impact. There was a city located nearby-1 of the Atlantean build sites. Off the coast of Cuba it can be found along a fracture line in 2k of water. Those craters in the gulf of Mexico maybe apart of this cataclysmic event.

  • @DarkPerry1.0

    All of that can be better explained with the Bible and Flood geology, its not millions of years old, the mountains in Colorado like the rest of the world are only 4500ish years old and the earth is only 6000 years old at best. It wasn’t until the 1700’s that evolution took hold and replaced the martyrdom of true Christians, martyring Christians only made the church grow, so the devil changed his tactics and started to subtly make people doubt the authority of God’s word, right at the very foundation in genesis. The theory of evolution came about specifically to oppose Christianity. Not to mention all the historical accounts of genealogy’s that can be traced back to Noah’s 3 sons that were viewed as fact until fairly recent in earths history. And the thousands of historical accounts of dinosaurs/dragons and art work that pre date the first fossils ever documented. The Bible makes sense of everything we observe on earth in all fields of science, I highly encourage anyone to be open minded and look into creation science and flood geology. It’ll make so much more sense. And is way cooler, There’s a catch though you will have to eventually admit that God is real. 🫡

Now I see it was from zooplankton which makes so much more sense as the earth's ocean have been blanketed by plankton for hundreds of millions of years.

SO, why don't those burn up and disappear? only the big ones must burn up and disappear after they've made a giant crater. I'm just so flawed I can't understand it. 🙏🏽 please forgive me. Also the Sun during an eclipse.. 😊 im very flawed there too, but I saw the moon at the same time as the eclipse..🥸 all I'm saying is, believing man is dangerous and it has proven so and I think it's very clear and becoming more clear they're lying.
