Arguably, the last century's economic and technological growth rests on the exploitation of coal and oil. The science of geology has been fueled primarily by that industry, along with major engineering projects like dams and tunnels. Companies that pay billions for research demand functional theory and accurate knowledge. Bad information could cost a company millions of dollars in drilling. With volcanoes or structures, lives could be at stake.
So I wonder if or how young-earth creationists see modern geology as some sort of mass delusion. Geologists assert unequivocally that the earth is around 4.6 billion y.o., yet young earthers wave off a globe of stratigraphic research with the "Great Deluge." If a flood could explain global complex stratigraphy better than libraries of funded research, one would think that Exxon, Mobile, and GE would be employing creationists instead.
Best answer will be granted to a well-thought-out creationist response, although anyone may answer.
