TalkOrigins Archive presents what perspective that is less compatible with mainstream scientific thought on the issues of physics, chemistry, geology, and the age of the Earth?
antievolution claims of young-earth
TalkOrigins Archive
The TalkOrigins Archive is a website that presents mainstream science perspectives on the antievolution claims of young-earth, old-earth, and "intelligent design" creationists.
 With sections on evolution, creationism, geology, astronomy and hominid evolution, the web site provides broad coverage of evolutionary biology and the socio-political antievolution movement.
Old Earth creationism
Old Earth creationism is an umbrella term for a number of types of creationism, including gap creationism, progressive creationism, and evolutionary creationism.
 Old Earth creationism is typically more compatible with mainstream scientific thought on the issues of physics, chemistry, geology, and the age of the Earth, in contrast to young Earth creationism.
Andean Geology
Andean Geology (formerly Revista Geológica de Chile) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published three times per year by the National Geology and Mining Service, Chile's geology and mining agency.
 The journal covers the field of geology and related earth sciences, primarily on issues that are relevant to South America, Central America, and Antarctica with a particular focus on the Andes.
 The journal was established in 1974 and articles are published in English and Spanish.
 The editor-in-chief is Waldo Vivallo (National Geology and Mining Service). DVD+R DL
DVD+R DL (DL stands for Double Layer) also called DVD+R9, is a derivative of the DVD+R format created by the DVD+RW Alliance.
 Its use was first demonstrated in October 2003.
 DVD+R DL discs employ two recordable dye layers, each capable of storing nearly the 4.7 GB capacity of a single-layer disc, almost doubling the total disc capacity to 8.5 GB.
 Discs can be read in many DVD devices (older units are less compatible) and can only be created using DVD+R DL and Super Multi drives. Lapworth Museum of Geology
The Lapworth Museum of Geology is a geological museum run by the University of Birmingham and located on the University's campus in Edgbaston, south Birmingham, England.
 Named after the geologist Charles Lapworth, the origins of the Museum date to 1880, and it reopened in 2016 following a £2.7 million redevelopment project that created new galleries and displays, as well as new visitor and educational facilities.
 The Lapworth Museum is free to visit, and its galleries are aimed at a broad range of audiences, from families and children to undergraduate students and specialist geology groups.
 The galleries use the Lapworth's collections to tell the story of the evolution of life and the planet over 4.5 billion years of Earth history, with a particular focus on how the environment, climate, plants and animals of the English Midlands have changed over time.
 The Lapworth's collection includes more than 250,000 specimens of fossils, rocks and minerals that are of international scientific significance, as well as an important archive that documents key scientific discoveries and important historical geologists.
 The Lapworth is one of five UK museums shortlisted for Art Fund Museum of the Year 2017. Economic geology
Economic geology is concerned with earth materials that can be used for economic and/or industrial purposes.
 These materials include precious and base metals, nonmetallic minerals, construction-grade stone, petroleum minerals, coal, and water.
 Economic geology is a subdiscipline of the geosciences; according to Lindgren (1933) it is “the application of geology”.
 Today, we might call it the scientific study of the Earth’s sources of mineral raw materials and the practical application of the acquired knowledge.
 The term commonly refers to metallic mineral deposits and mineral resources.
 The techniques employed by other earth science disciplines (such as geochemistry, mineralogy, geophysics, petrology and structural geology) might all be used to understand, describe, and exploit an ore deposit. University of Melbourne Faculty of Science
The Faculty of Science at the University of Melbourne is one of the oldest science faculties in Australia.
 It was established in 1903 under its first Dean, Professor Henry Laurie.
 Initially the disciplines taught within the Faculty included Chemistry, Physiology, Biology (including elementary Botany), Geology and Mineralogy, as well as subjects from the Schools of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy (Physics).
 The Faculty of Science currently comprises seven Schools (BioSciences, Chemistry, Earth Sciences, Ecosystem and Forest Science, Geography, Mathematics and Statistics, and Physics) and a number of research centres, across three campuses: Parkville, Burnley and Creswick.
 It teaches around 10,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students, and is a significant centre for scientific research.
 Most undergraduate students are enrolled in the Bachelor of Science and specialise by choosing a major (e.g. Physics, Informatics or Biochemistry).
 The current Dean is Professor Karen Day. DVD-R DL
DVD-R DL (DL stands for Dual Layer), also called DVD-R9, is a derivative of the DVD-R format standard.
 DVD-R DL discs hold 8.5 GB by utilizing two recordable dye layers, each capable of storing a little less than the 4.7 gigabyte (GB) of a single layer disc, almost doubling the total disc capacity.
 Discs can be read in many DVD devices (older units are less compatible) and can only be written using DVD-R DL compatible recorders.
 It is part of optical disc recording technologies for digital recording to optical disc. Superseded scientific theories
A superseded, or obsolete, scientific theory is a scientific theory that the mainstream scientific community once widely accepted, but now considers an inadequate or incomplete description of reality, or simply false.
 This label does not cover protoscientific or fringe science theories that have never had broad support in the scientific community.
 Also, it does not mean theories that were never widely accepted.
 Some theories that were only supported under specific political authorities, such as Lysenkoism, may also be described as obsolete or superseded.
 All of Newtonian physics is so satisfactory for most purposes that it is more widely used except at velocities that are a significant fraction of the speed of light, and simpler Newtonian but not relativistic mechanics is usually taught in schools.
 Another case is the belief that the earth is approximately flat.
 For centuries, people have known that a flat earth model produces errors in long distance calculations—but considering moderately-sized areas as flat for the purposes of mapping and surveying does not introduce significant errors. 900 mm gauge railways
In Sweden there has been an extensive network of railways with gauge, Swedish three foot gauge railways.
 Some of them remain.
 This is so close to that they are more or less compatible, and some sales of rolling stock between the gauges have taken place.
