A mountain is a land formation extending far above its surrounding terrain. Mountains can be made of rock, earth or ice, or a combination of the three.

Mountains and Evolution

Evolutionists assert that mountains took millions of years to form, and also that mountains can be dated based on observed erosion tendencies. These uniform assumptions of erosion are a staple of old-earth assumptions in determining the age of mountains. However, in some cases, the data does not fit the assumption. For example, researchers from Berkeley found evidence of catastrophic erosion in mountain ranges of Idaho, based on cosmogenic radionuclide measurement. A hydrologist from the U.S. Geological Survey doubted their conclusions because they required "truly extraordinary erosional events, and I don’t know where the evidence for that is in the geologic record."^[1]
