B03203 - Footprints in the Ash

On May 18, 1980, a powerful volcanic explosion rocked the north slope of Mount Saint Helens. In its immediate aftermath, the catastrophic upheaval recreated the processes of old that might have carved out such geologic wonders as the Grand Canyon. Today, Mount Saint Helens stands as a testament to the power of God. In His infinite wisdom, He has tangibly demonstrated to geologists that the earth is much, much younger than many had previously suspected. Beautifully illustrated, this hardcover will be treasured for years to come. From the back cover: In the early morning hours of May 18, 1980, the pristine scenery around Washington's Mount St. Helens was shattered by a powerful explosion that devastated its north slope. The eruption of a landmark mountain had begun. In the aftermath, amid the rivers of mud, blankets of ash, and eerie quiet, scientists made a startling discovery: "nature" was bringing life out of death, re-claiming from the destruction a teeming colony of plant and animal life. Most amazing of all, the geological upheavals had re-created the processes of old that had carved out such marvels as the Grand Canyon. Today, the site stands as a testament to the power of God, who upholds all of creation. In His infinite wisdom, He has shown the modern science of geology that the earth is much, much younger than many suspected. Table of Contents:
