The assessment is by a fellow YEC who agrees with Dr. Snelling.
Yes. The picture is actually well known as the people Dr. Snelling added to the photo are all standing in front of cracks. A strange coincidence if that is what it is.
Dr. Snelling stated in a AIG article that there are no cracks.
He also spent 4 years studying rock samples trying to come up with a mechanism that could explain the cracks (which he said weren’t there) but his paper basically said he found nothing. To be gracious you could say he was just incorrect, but why the refusal to just admit he was incorrect?
