[QUOTE][b]"ICR conveniently ignores direct measurements of ice accumulation in favor of indirect methods? Why?"

I've decided that that snow probably did bury the planes. Look what it did to their camp.

But it doesn't explain the discordance between that site and the snowfall records for that summit. What we have here is probably an anomaly, not a general rule for the rate of icecap growth. Also the ICR article didn't mention seasonal varves in the ice or the dust from historical volcanic eruptions. I still call that sloppy work.
[QUOTE][b]I think I would like to e-mail the project manager and ask a couple questions, what is it you would expect to observe in the glacial formation from (A):An Avalanche and (B):Blowing snow?[/QUOTE]

Moot point. But (a) a steep incline (b) curving ice layers near the planes. Note however the emailing the project manager is futile. ICR had nothing to do with the removal of those aircraft, they simply clipped a news article and said, "hey look! icecaps grow 258 ft in 50 years!"
If you did want to ask ICR a question (and this is not relevant to the current discussion), maybe you could ask them how they can call what they do science when they make all their conclusions before they do any research? What would happen if they found evidence that the Bible was wrong on a point, and how could they come to terms with that error? Would they be forced to ignore any evidence contrary to their worldview? If so, how much evidence are they ignoring today?
"The phenomenon of biological life did not develop by natural processes from inanimate systems but was specially and supernaturally created by the Creator."
"The Bible, consisting of the thirty-nine canonical books of the Old Testament and the twenty-seven canonical books of the New Testament, is the divinely-inspired revelation of the Creator to man. Its unique, plenary, verbal inspiration guarantees that these writings, as originally and miraculously given, are infallible and completely authoritative on all matters with which they deal, free from error of any sort, scientific and historical as well as moral and theological."
