Heat seems to be the real problem of Creationist "geology".
So, radioactive decay was faster in the past, hmm. How much heat does 4.5 billion years of decay release? Now, let's see...release that over 10,000 years. We'd be currently living on molten rock. Same for the flood. Same for speeded-up drift. Processes release heat. No matter which way you slice it, we've got 4.5 billion years of history at "today's level". Squish that into 10,000 years and the Earth would still be a molten rock. Magic is the only way out. |

Hmm, let me see here.... Ten miles down to the water, current geothermal gradient (after 4500 years of post-flood cooldown) is 1.5 degrees F per 100 feet, average surface temperature of 40 F... I get 832 degrees for the water before it even leaves the subsurface. Easy-Bake Oven, my fat heinie! Sounds like a three-minute egg in 2.7 milliseconds to me!
