But did you believe the geological explanations or is geology also the 
creation of intelligent design to keep geologists occupied? 

Years ago I was on Greathouse Peak in the Big Snowy Mountains.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Snowy_Mountains

It's an island range, meaning it's not attached to the Rockies and the 
surrounding area in eastern Montana is flatland. The 'peak' isn't much of 
a peak, just a rocky ridge. I happened to pick up one of the rocks and saw 
marine fossils. What were they doing at 8600' surrounded by miles of semi-
arid plains? A cosmic joke?
