  • The Primeval Puzzle
    Geologists estimate that the earth is at least 4.5 billion years old. Fragments of that distant past dominate the landscape at Big Bend Ranch State Park, a place shaped and scarred by eons of geologic havoc. Travel with Kevin Urbanczyk of Sul Ross State University and some of his students and learn how shifting continents, volcanoes, faulting and erosion have all played a role in the formation of the park's natural features.

    Good to see Ken Barnes here in such fine form. He passed away May 14, 2019. Glad he got to miss this covid mess. Sure miss his presents and his spirit, Terlingua's not the same without him. Rest easy old friend. Cdog sends her love ........

      That formation is along the Cinco Tinajas Trailhead in the Big Bend Ranch State Park, which is north west of the BBNP.

    Have you heard that Trans-Pecos Pipeline is coming to the Big Bend area?
    Our community is very small here. We are very concerned and want to voice our fears. Just thought you should be aware since you may plan a revisit.

    If the deep time theory is correct, how is it that there is soft tissue in some dinosaur finds? More of a sudden violent , upheaval, and worldwide flood,which would explain the mass die-offs and groups of rapid burials. Still amazing and beautiful and more amazing considering it's less than 10,000 years old.

      You can't be that dense. It's far more than a guess. You obviously have access to the internet so I'm not going to explain it to you like a child. Do some research and stop being an ass hat. When you're presented with FACTS accept them and stop with this conspiracy bullshit.

      You're right. It's more than a guess. It's all based on assumptions because nobody has observed what happened in the past and we don't know what the conditions were. Science can only assume what pre-existing conditions were. Since when has anything thousand or millions of years old been proven to be fact? Science wants us to believe they have figured it all out but they haven't.
      Let's use evolution as an example since it's so highly debated. They dig up a fossil and publish papers making bold assertions. These papers are then reviewed by their peers, who support the same agenda. Then, they release their findings to a gullible media to "dial-up" the unjustified extrapolation, watch their peers praise them and then encourage a generation of science textbook writers to make colorful, deceptive cartoons of raw chemicals assembling into cells, which then emerge as slithering creatures from a prehistoric pond. That's how they become "facts".
      A canyon that is 1500 feet deep and miles long was formed in less than a day, cut into solid bedrock by a mudflow from the Mount Saint Helens eruption. So much for millions of years. They even took 30 year old layers of sedimentary rock that scientists "assumed" (there's that word again) took millions of years to lay down, and had it dated by half a dozen different labs. The dates ranged from tens of thousands of years to 2.8 million years. Again, it was 30 year old rock.
      It was "scientific fact" that the universe had always existed--it was eternal and then in 1964, they discovered that the universe had a beginning.
      It was "scientific fact" that 98.5% of our DNA was just "JUNK" left over from our evolution from a common ancestor but it has been revealed through further study into genetics that all of our DNA has a specific purpose.
      It was "scientific fact" that Darwin's theory involved slow, gradual change for the development of a new speices but that all changed in 1972 with the theory of "Punctuated Equilibrium" that says evolutionary development is marked by isolated episodes of rapid speciation between long periods of little or no change. Eldredge and Gould proposed that "the degree of gradualism commonly attributed to Charles Darwin is virtually nonexistent in the fossil record and that stasis [no morphological change] dominates the history of most fossil species".
      It is "scientific fact" that the dinosaurs were killed off 65 million years ago and now that "fact" is being challenged because of discoveries made in 2007 by Mary Higby Schweitzer, a paleontologist at North Carolina State University. She and her team discovered red blood cells in dinosaur fossils and later discovered soft tissue remains in a T. Rex specimen. Again, in 2015, researchers reported finding structures similar to blood cells and collagen fibers, preserved in the bone fossils of six Cretaceous dinosaur specimens, which are approximately 75 million years old.” Soft tissue is often proteins like collagen. Now they’ve found hundreds of examples of this.
      It was "scientific fact" that a gradual change in climate killed dinosaurs off about 65 million years ago but in 1980, that "fact" was changed to an asteroid impact rapidly killed the dinosaurs. The Alvarez hypothesis posits that the mass extinction of the dinosaurs and many other living things [occurred] by the impact of a large [6-mile-diameter, iridium-rich] asteroid on the Earth… at the Yucatan Peninsula… This resulted in “a vast dust cloud which would block sunlight and prevent photosynthesis of plants and phytoplankton and of all organisms dependent on them (including predatory animals as well as herbivores).
      It is commonly accepted as "scientific fact" that the genetic diversity in humans could not have resulted from a single breeding pair (Adam & Eve) in the last 6000 to 10,000 years. As of 2018, genetics experiments are showing that a single breeding pair, in the last 10,000 years, or even 6000 years, can account for the genetic diversity in humans, provided that interbreeding with human-like creatures, like Neanderthals (which were human beings and not pre-hominid), was occasionally occurring.
      Scientific fact isn't always scientific fact. Here's a scientific fact: H2O has two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. That's a fact, no matter where we find water.
      Here's another fact: theories and conjecture are not facts so don't let scientists, with their bold claims of “facts” upset you. So-called scientific facts, which are really theories, are constantly changing, even on the order of decades, and certainly on the order of a century. Theories or conjectures are not facts but, unfortunately and shamefully, many scientists themselves do not make the necessary distinction. This leads to the confusion of generations of students and even professors themselves.
