Thank you for that comment Cybor32, this is true which immediatly disproves the method this guy is using to date the earth. This method is simply wrong. Besides, i think we all know that snow does melt in the winter. In just my state alone, ive watched the snow melt and form ice then melt again a dozen times this winter.
sure, but in alaska snow doesnt melt as much, they do this type of dating in other places as well, such as the arctic, where the snow melts very little, this man is not just a christian, he is also a scientist by trade if you will.
Ice is a fluid. Things sink into ice, especially heavy objects. Take an empty margarine container, fill it with water and put it in the freezer. After it freezes, place a heavy rock or piece of iron on top of the ice in the freezer. Check it every few days and you will see that it will sink into the ice until it eventually is on the bottom. That is a school science lab project.
The snow and ice in Alaska are in the glaciers. In areas surrounding the glaciers there are normal seasons with plants and animals and insects. Remember that during the summer there is no new snow, so material carried by the wind from hundreds of miles away and is deposited on top of the snow. That even happens at the north and south poles.
I just want to say, those lines do NOT represent summer and winter.. they represent cold, warm, cold, warm. I live in NH, and I like to dig snow tunnels under the piles of snow around our house. I can find those ice layers in my back yard, under the snow. You see, what really happens, is it snows. Then we might have a warm day, so the snow melts a little, leaving a layer of ice over the snow. I have about ten layers of ice in a small snow cave outside now, but there are usually more layers.
In New Hampshire you have fluctuations in temps as we do in Michigan causing snow to melt and thaw in one season. In the Arctic the snow never completely melts and there is only one time per year when bugs, leaves and seeds are deposited.

Do your glaciers melt and come back in one winter? We are talking about glacier ice which may be hundreds of feet thick.

THE LOST SQUADRON THE RECOVERY OF P-38 "GLACIER GIRL"
Planes were left on the ice during ww2 and buried under 250 feet of ice in 50 years.

Out of curiosity, what are mayflies, grasshoppers, and pollen doing where there is that much ground cover of snow/ ice? Where does it come from?
