Truth in science - the geology of idiocy
From the bat-shit crazy copy-n-paste ramblings that accompany Truth in science’s bizarre images we know about his ignorance of science and his strange attempts to misrepresent science to the gullible. Now we can add geology to his list of bat-shit crazy ideas.
These “images” are just a couple that he’s responsible for………. he’s been spamming various groups with them of late.
I won’t go into a huge amount of detail on his “fieldwork” or conclusions other than say they’re complete nonsense, but will make the following comments and links to further reading.
In the wall-of-text accompanying the images Truth in science refers extensively to experiments undertaken by Guy Berthault and repeated by H D Voss, M E Clark and described by Ian Juby.
For clarity, the experiments undertaken by Guy Berthault do not undermine the consensus view of geology, and his work is certainly no reason to call into question the old age of the earth or the evolution of species because:
•His experimental work is not especially original or revolutionary
•His studies do not support a radical reinterpretation of sedimentology
•The geological column contains deposition mechanisms that lie outside the processes that Berthault investigated
•The suggestion that fossil organisms are sorted, not chronologically, but ecologically and hydraulically is not credible – indeed it’s laughable
•Radiometric dating supports both the immense age and the chronological ordering of strata.
Further reading on M. Berthault and his curious ideas are contained in the following articles:
“The work of Guy Berthault: Revolutionary Geology or Extravagant Hubris?” www.evolutionpages.com/berthault_critique.htm
“Berthault's "Stratigraphy": Rediscovering What Geologists Already Know and Strawman Misrepresentations of Modern Applications of Steno's Principles.” noanswersingenesis.org.au/henke_steno.htm
“Some Questions for Dr. Berthault” noanswersingenesis.org.au/questions_berthault_k_henke.htm
As for the individuals that supposedly repeated Berthault’s experiment - neither Voss or Clark are geologists. Voss was a computer scientist (now retired) and Clark (now dead) was an academic whose speciality was fluid dynamics in blood vessels and who claimed to have found human footprints in rocks adjacent to and contemporaneous with those of dinosaurs!
As for Ian Juby - he is a young earth creationist who hails from Ontario, Canada. Juby is the director of the “Creation Science Museum of Canada”, as well as a member of Mensa — Juby is known for using his "high IQ" as an argument from authority when promoting creation “science” under his YouTube alias Wazooloo. He also allows himself to be presented as a "professor" and a "paleontologist" in his videos — despite having no known doctoral degrees (or indeed any degree at all) in any science-related field, or having taught at any university. Juby's repeated crank misrepresentations of the evidence can be found throughout his video series, including claims like "dinosaurs were vegetarians" while presenting an incomplete dinosaur tooth fossil, and "reptiles laid eggs while running from the flood" referring to a 6-egg fossil laid in 2 rows of 3 (showing the animal was so scared it went back to lay another row…).
He features in this video:
If you’d like to know more about how creationist geologists have ironically managed to disprove the Flood using their own geology, then this is a good read.

Suffice to say, that - once more – Truth in science is talking complete bollocks.
No surprise there then.
