Joining Fred Williams and Doug McBurney of Real Science Radio, Kevin explores rubble-pile asteroids, contact binaries, samples returned from Bennu and Ryugu, and predictions made by Dr. Walt Brown. They also discuss the fountains of the great deep, the source of the Flood’s sediments, and disagreements among creationist Flood models.

Explore the proposed connection between Earth’s catastrophic past and the objects orbiting our solar system.

In this episode of Hydroplate Theory University, Kevin Lea and Bill Wells make the case for Walt Brown’s Hydroplate Theory over conventional and catastrophic plate tectonics.

They examine seismic imaging that reveals unexpected structures deep inside Earth’s mantle, question whether those structures should be interpreted as subducted plates, and explain why they believe the evidence better fits processes associated with Noah’s Flood.

The discussion covers:
• Seafloor spreading, subduction, and competing explanations for plate movement
• Unexpected mantle anomalies revealed by full-waveform inversion
• The difference between seismic measurements and interpretations of temperature
• Responses to Anton Petrov and catastrophic plate tectonics advocates
• How pressure, melting, and magma movement factor into the Hydroplate Theory explanation of earthquakes

Do these discoveries strengthen the case for Hydroplate Theory? Examine the hosts’ arguments and consider the evidence.

In Episode 13 of Hydroplate Theory University, Kevin Lea and Bill Wells continue exploring Dr. Walt Brown’s explanation of Noah’s Flood. They examine how Hydroplate Theory interprets fossil sorting, paper-thin crushed fossils, preserved animal trackways, and the movement of water through buried sediments.

The discussion then turns to the proposed compression event, connecting sedimentary layers with coal, diamonds, mountain formation, and the Lewis Overthrust. Throughout the episode, Kevin and Bill contrast different interpretations of the same geological evidence and connect their argument to the biblical account of the Flood.

They discuss earthquake liquefaction, widespread rock layers, bent strata, and fossilized trees that cross multiple layers. They also explain why they interpret these features as evidence of rapid burial rather than gradual deposition over millions of years.

In this episode of Hydroplate Theory University, we examine the origin of Earth’s enormous limestone deposits and the problems they present for conventional geological explanations. We look at how limestone forms, the carbon dioxide problem associated with its formation, massive limestone layers such as those found in the Grand Canyon, and the evidence for rapid deposition.

Then we examine Dr. Walt Brown’s Hydroplate Theory and its proposed explanation for how vast quantities of limestone could have formed during the catastrophic events surrounding the global Flood.

How does the conventional model explain all this limestone—and does the Hydroplate Theory offer a better explanation?

In this episode of Hydroplate Theory University, Kevin Lea and Bill Wells examine the discovery of amino acids on asteroids, including the significance of their left- and right-handed forms. They explain chirality, protein formation, and amino acid racemization before asking whether these molecules formed abiotically in space—or originated from biological material on Earth. The episode notes that 14 of the 20 amino acids used to make proteins were reported from Bennu and Ryugu and frames the competing interpretations of those findings.

From the Hydroplate Theory perspective, the hosts argue that the fountains of the great deep subjected living and dead organisms to enormous forces, breaking them down into molecular components that were ejected along with asteroid-forming material during the Genesis Flood. They argue that racemization can account for the mixture of left- and right-handed amino acids found on these asteroids.

The episode also tackles the criticism that Hydroplate Theory requires whole animals—such as mammoths—to have been launched into space. Instead, the hosts argue that the extreme forces involved would have disassembled organisms into their component parts.

Could the chemistry found on asteroids point back to Earth rather than to the origin of life in space? And what does it mean for the debate over creation and abiogenesis?

In this episode of Hydroplate Theory University, Kevin Lea and Bill Wells respond to viewer questions and objections raised after the first two asteroid episodes. Using Walt Brown’s Hydroplate Theory, they explain why the model would not predict asteroids made entirely of granite, but rather mixtures of material from Earth’s crust, lower crust, mantle, and other sources.

They examine the composition of meteorites, olivine and serpentinite, chondrules, iron-nickel meteorites, the surprisingly small amount of material actually returned from asteroid and comet missions, and the rounded boulders observed on comet 67P.

The discussion then turns to Walt Brown’s prediction concerning pulverized crustal material, the question of bacteria and organic compounds in meteorites, and the discovery of all five nucleobases necessary for DNA and RNA in samples from Ryugu and Bennu.

Kevin and Bill argue that these observations are consistent with Hydroplate Theory’s claim that material from Earth was blasted into space during the rupture of the fountains of the great deep.

The discussion examines salt beneath the Gulf of America, the Atlantic, and the Mediterranean, explores the relationship between salt and oil, and explains why these geological features are interpreted differently by competing worldviews.

Whether you're new to the Hydroplate Theory or looking for answers to common objections, this episode dives into one of the most debated topics in creation geology.

In Part 2 of our look at the Hydroplate Theory’s explanation for the origin of asteroids, Kevin Lea continues exploring the evidence surrounding asteroids, meteorites, comets, and trans-Neptunian objects—and why he believes recent discoveries fit predictions made by Dr. Walt Brown’s Hydroplate Theory.

Kevin examines trans-Neptunian objects, NASA’s DART mission, and evidence that many asteroids are low-density “rubble piles.” He then turns to one of the episode’s central questions: Why are scientists finding amino acids, nucleotide precursors, carbon compounds, and evidence of saltwater associated with asteroids and meteorites?

A meteorite that struck a New Jersey home contained amino acids and evidence of ancient saltwater brines. Samples returned from asteroids Bennu and Ryugu have also revealed organic compounds associated with the chemistry of life.

While some researchers interpret discoveries like these as evidence that asteroids may have delivered some of the ingredients for life to Earth, Kevin presents the opposite interpretation from the Hydroplate Theory: these materials originated on Earth and were ejected into space when the fountains of the great deep ruptured during Noah’s Flood.

Kevin also discusses the reported Bacillus bacteria associated with the Ryugu sample and the possibility of contamination, how other creationists have responded to organic compounds discovered in space, and what the Hydroplate Theory predicts scientists will discover on future missions.

Finally, Kevin examines the asteroid Apophis, its close approach to Earth in 2029, contact-binary and rubble-pile asteroids, and why he believes these discoveries strengthen the Hydroplate Theory’s explanation for the origin of asteroids.

Whether you're interested in astronomy, creation science, or the Hydroplate Theory, this episode lays the foundation for understanding why asteroid origins remain one of the most fascinating topics in planetary science.

In this episode of Hydroplate Theory University, Kevin Lea and Bill Wells explore Genesis 1 and explain why the biblical foundation for Noah's Flood was established during Creation Week.

You'll learn:

• Why the Flood story starts before Noah
• What the "firmament" really means in Genesis
• Why the waters above and below matter
• The key assumptions behind Dr. Walt Brown's Hydroplate Theory
• Why Genesis 1 changes how we understand the Flood

This episode serves as an introduction to the Hydroplate Theory overview and lays the biblical groundwork for future discussions on the rupture, continental drift, and the global Flood.

In this episode of Hydroplate Theory University, Kevin Lea and Bill Wells explain why the debate over origins isn't about a lack of evidence—it's about interpretation. Drawing from engineering, military aviation, and historical science, they discuss why they believe the Hydroplate Theory provides a better explanation for Noah's Flood than conventional evolutionary models.

Along the way, they share their personal journeys to faith, why this topic matters, and the mission behind Hydroplate Theory University.

You'll also learn the remarkable story behind Dr. Walt Brown: a West Point graduate, MIT-trained mechanical engineer, U.S. Air Force Colonel, professor, military researcher, and the man who spent decades developing Hydroplate Theory.

Whether you're new to creation science or have studied origins for years, this episode lays the foundation for the evidence we'll examine throughout this series.
