Yes, Mark, you hit the nail on the head.  I didn't want to bring up their religion because their work should be judged on its own merit.  But you can see how these authors would not be motivated to challenge the geological assumptions of modern science.  Now on the other hand, a creation scientist would be eager to show the fallacies of the geological ages, thus bolstering the idea of a young earth and recent appearance of man.

Maybe the truth lies somewhere in between.  At any rate, it is obvious to me that we are missing many pieces of the puzzle, and when we find them, we may discover that our picture is upside down!
