SDA and Ellen White

[Daniel_Marsh]

“At this time immense forests were buried. These have since been changed to coal, forming the extensive coal beds that now exist, and also yielding large quantities of oil. The coal and oil frequently ignite and burn beneath the surface of the earth. Thus rocks are heated, limestone is burned, and iron ore melted. The action of the water upon the lime adds fury to the intense heat, and causes earthquakes, volcanoes, and fiery issues. As the fire and water come in contact with ledges of rock and ore, there are heavy explosions underground, which sound like muffled thunder. The air is hot and suffocating. Volcanic eruptions follow; and these often failing to give sufficient vent to the heated elements, the earth itself is convulsed, the ground heaves and swells like the waves of the sea, great fissures appear, and sometimes cities, villages, and burning mountains are swallowed up.” Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 108

Ellen G. White was a strong anti-evolutionist; many SDAers supported the Noah Flood Theory in order to explain fossils and coal. Modern creationism could not have arisen without the impetus coming from White and the SDA. See Ronald Numbers, The Creationists.

True, George McCready Price was a Seventh-day Adventist and amateur geologist, and his many anti-evolution books influenced the latter 20th century creationists, Henry Morris and ICR. Price, then Morris is responsible for the revival of “Flood Geology” among evangelicals / fundamentalists even though it was abandoned by science in the 19th century.
