One man, Steve Robertson, who worked for Shell grew real silent on the phone, sighed and softly said 'No!' A very close friend that I had hired at Arco,...

If you want to take the opinions of three possible experts(one anonymous), and compare them to the multitude of accredited geologists from my post, feel free. The folks from my post have staked their reputations on the line publicly, and if you attend their presentations are not afraid to take any questions you might have. They aren't hiding behind academia like most of your friends. BIG DIFFERENCE!

The folks at ICR don't have any reputation to lose. The articles that you posted, not published in peer-reviewed journals but on a creationist website, come from a total of two people who already have no credibility left, Snelling and Austin.

Glenn Morton is talking about ICR graduates who actually work with the data in industry not academics (of course virtually all the academics who don't work for ICR also reject ICR's conjectures). Unless you consider Glenn Morton to be a liar, not a single one of those he managed to contact had found ICR's non-mainstream teaching to be true. He explicitly refers to 4, himself and one other by name, and implies that there are others. Morton used to write papers for ICR himself many of which are still cited on their website, so if he was some kind of 5th columnist he worked hard at being one for many years. I can well imagine that ICR graduates who have "seen the light" would mostly not want to raise their heads above the parapet, given the villification that Morton has attracted. Can you cite a single ICR graduate working in the oil industry for more than a couple of years with the geological data who has retained their YEC faith? Morton claims that he couldn't find one. ICR should find that an easy claim to counter.
