Angels Camp, CA…Join us for a lively discussion of the geologic legacy of Calaveras County and how this land went from being an ocean floor to the mountains, rocks, and minerals we see today. 400 million years of local history! Geologist, Glen White will share examples of common rock types found in Calaveras County and the Motherlode region. Glen has worked with the Museum to identify specimens in the gem and mineral collection in the Mining & Ranching Building, and will be available after the lecture for a trip to that exhibit to answer questions and share information about the geologic samples on display there.

But , But, But the earth is only 6,000 years old according to the evangelical christians.
At the Ark, John Ham the creator of the park teaches the earth is only 6,000 years old, when dinosaurs and man walked together.
Ham says evolution is bunk, and creationism is real.
He says carbon dating, fossils and all science based evidence that the earth is millions of years old is a fraud.
But, but, but men can have babies, anyone can just change their gender at will, masks stop the spread of covid, and the shots are safe AND effective. Follow the science, dammit!
