Young Earth Today 2032 - YES We Can ... Drop Deep Time!

** Young Earth Today 2032 - YES We Can ... Drop Deep Time! **
Today we drop the Kraken on Origins by Robert Shapiro which focuses on the Origin Of Life #OOL ... it was endorsed by Isaac Asimov!
Also, we delve into the thought of anti-evolutionist Hilaire Belloc (d. 1953). HG Wells wrote a whole book to refute his critique of Outline of History!
Before we get to Origins & Belloc, let's take jaunt into YES research.

Where do we go to find info that supports YES - Young Earth Science? That is, the evidence from History and Science that points to a youthful world.

The first item on Qwant is pro-YES !!

A classic argument for a youthful world is the downgrade of Earth's magnetic field. It has long been understood that Earth’s magnetic field is decaying at a rate of 5% per century. However, as reported by Forbes, the Swarm system of satellites (Alpha, Bravo & Charlie) has discovered that the actual decay is 5% per decade!

One reasonable conclusion from this data is that the earth is newer than many people think:

Robert Shapiro wrote Origins: A Skeptic's Guide to the Creation of Life on Earth which came out in 1986:
https://www.amazon.com/Origins-Skeptics-Guide-Creation-Earth/dp/0553343556

It was praised by Ashley Montagu (who favored the unity of humanity), Isaac Asimov and Lynn Margulis (Carl Sagan's first wife). Shapiro speaks of the Eskimo's Creation Story (pp. 15,16), but what about the Deluge? A number of tribes from the "Great Snowy North" such as Eskimos, Inuits, Yup’iks and Aleuts have traditions of the Global Flood. Flood traditions of the Northern North American indigenous tribes:

Hilaire Belloc (d. 1953) took on Darwin & HG Wells (War of the Worlds, Things to Come) in A Companion to Mr. Wells’s Outline of History. Belloc, was born in France, but died in England. He wrote over 150 books on a wide range of topics.
His travelogue The Path to Rome was a bestseller. He also wrote satiric novels that were illustrated by his close friend G.K. Chesterton! He was unjustly denied a fellowship at Oxford due to his religious views. You can read about him in Jerry Bergman's most excellent Silencing the Darwin Skeptics (p. 114):

Hilaire Belloc seems to accept the long ages of mainstream Geology, yet he recommends Aquinas, but Thomas falls into the YES camp!! The famed astronomer Ptolemy (d. ~170 AD) held that the constellations of the zodiac will have finished a complete rotation in 36K years. Aquinas responds that (pp. 361,362):

This reason seems unsuitable, because if there were any movement (revolution) in the sky which does not finish sooner than after 36 thousand years it would follow that the universe would have to last that long, which does not seem probable (quod non videtur probabile).

In addition, Aquinas believed in Creation in Six (real) Days #CISD

HG Wells wrote a book in response to Belloc and pushes Darwinism. The opposite of evolution is Biological Essentialism. My thesis is the stasis of Essential Types of Life (ETL's). Examples of ETL's include horses, hydras and humans. I think Belloc would agree with me since he stated,

It is true that humanly recorded historical experience covers but a very brief fraction of the total time allowed for even the shortest estimates of the past of this world. None the less, it is sufficient to prove that types once achieved are permanent. Call it five thousand years (perhaps man-made prehistoric [sic] pictures may extend that limit), even that short period is enough to prove the existence of stable types. For if during five million years some animal form existing at the moment has been forever slowly changing by a process such that its present apparent fixity is an illusion, and is still proceeding to further slow changes indefinitely, then five thousand years ought to show a perceptible fraction of the movement; only a thousandth of it, no doubt, but one in a thousand is measurable: tiny, but measurable. Yet no fundamental change, still less any progressive change, is apparent. During all the historical epoch fixity of type is invariable. [see Ch. 2]

Belloc further defends the fixity of types in the fossil record:

The geological record also shows us nothing but Fixed Types. Each may have come by a transition more or less rapid out of some other—but at any rate fixed they are, and the longer the time demanded by the modern geologist for his periods, the longer the Fixed Type can be proved to exist. Some few survive today from the very early days of life on this earth. It was hoped, when the theory of Natural Selection was first broached, that evidence would appear for continuous change. None has so appeared. On the contrary, the more fossil evidence we acquire the more definitely does it appear that the Fixed Type is the normal - indeed the only - recorded thing.

I argue in the last chapter of my book Biological Essentialism naturally leads to Young Earth Science (YES):

The rate of rock formation is a key factor in the #Age_ofthe_Earth Controversy as Belloc admits:

It is, perhaps, asking too much of our author [HG Wells] to adopt a strictly scientific attitude: that is, to distinguish between hypothesis and proved fact. And this is particularly true of a study so full of hypothesis as geology. Men pretend to vastly more knowledge than they have in that branch of knowledge - as, for instance, on the rate of stratification. A man cannot but be influenced by his own time, and Mr. Wells is influenced by the unscientific loose thinking and insufficiently supported affirmations of his generation and place.

HG Wells was born in 1866. In the early 1800's there were a number of "Scriptural Geologists" who defended the #GlobalFlood from Scripture and Science:
