The eruption of Mt. St. Helens was a small eruption in Earth history, but from the creationists perspective it was one of the greatest events of recent times. We saw first hand very rapid geological processes we had only been able to speculate about. To a classical geologist these rapid processes look as if they took millions and millions of years yet they took only DAYS. The two processes were; 1) deposition of hundreds of feet of strata in days that had very fine layers in them that most evolutionists would count as one year each, and 2) rapid erosion of canyons that have an appearance of age but were formed in days. The “Mt. St. Helens” video covers this subject very well. Dr. Steve Austin from ICR, who has done most of the research hasn’t written the book yet.
