One example of nature confounding those who set themselves against God and His truth is observed in the account of the World War II planes that were buried under layers of ice which were supposed to be ten of thousands of years old.
The incident is detailed by Creation Ministries International (CMI) in one of their Creation magazine articles. The article in question is entitled The Lost Squadron and is to be found in Creation 19(3) June 1997.
This article recounts the search for these planes which had to crash land during World War II in Greenland in 1942. When a salvage mission was first attempted in 1980 the planes were discovered, not in a few feet of snow and ice, but rather buried 75 metres or 250 feet below the surface of the snow and ice.
Interestingly, these planes located under the ice were in exactly the same pattern in which they had crash landed. Furthermore they were found to have been moved three miles from their original location by glacial flow!
The irony of this all is that ice cores from Greenland are often used to 'prove' evolution, based on the belief that these ice layers containing varying isotope ratios were laid down, somewhat like the rings of a tree, over many tens of thousands of years. Therefore the earth must be 'old' and could never be 'young' as those who believe in creation assert.
As reported in the Creation article: Evolutionists and other long-agers often say that ‘the present is the key to the past’. In that case, the 3000-m-long ice core [brought up by the joint European Greenland Ice-core Project (GRIP) in Greenland in 1990–1992] would only represent some 2,000 years of accumulation. Allowing of course for compression of lower layers, (which is also offset by the inevitable aftermath of a global Flood, namely much greater precipitation and snowfall for a few centuries6) there is ample time in the 4,000 or so years since Noah’s day for the existing amounts of ice to have built up—even under today’s generally non-catastrophic conditions.

O how God in heaven must laugh that World War II planes buried under layers of ice debunk the idea that these ice layers were supposed to be millions of years old.
