I do not think it would be a lie, so much as a work of art using natural forces that are now the natural cycle of things, so for example K54 mentioned Cyclothems which are observed to be "alternating stratigraphic sequences of marine and non-marine sediments" which scientists seem to think has something to do with glacial ice.
Presumably because we know marine sediment is made in water because it was observed? I confess to not being a geologist. But if it is what we observe now it makes sense to try to figure out what caused it on land, however it comes back to, it could be where no one expected it, not because of a glacier of the gaps, but because God made things old.
You mean Tertullian was teaching against the Neo-Platonists being Christians? Shocking from him.
Indeed. Scripture alone didn't make the phone I'm replying to you on.
No, I rather blame our greedy and stupid politicians on both sides of the aisle for our failing education. I greatly value reason, but I think some fields of science are more important than others, which is not, I think a controversial statement.
Your view is a classic fideist justification for your belief reinforced by your disinterest in understanding the science behind evolution, earth history and cosmology.
