Stone Mountain Georgia February 10th, 2022

Secular and Creationist Geologist's at least agree that Stone Mountain was formed by volcanic activity. Stone Mountain is a pluton, a type of igneous intrusion. Primarily composed of granite, the dome of Stone Mountain was formed during the formation of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the eastern edge or front range of the Appalachian Mountains. It formed as a result of the upwelling of magma from within the Earth's crust. This magma solidified to form granite within the crust below the surface.
During the Flood volcanic activity occurred all across the earth the waters began to recede beginning on the 150'th day. The decrease in water level could directly relate to tectonism via seafloor spreading, continental collisions and tensional lateral plate movements.
An interesting feature of Stone mountain Granite is that the grain size is equigranular across the entire mountain. This suggests that the mountain cooling quickly and uniformly. Additionally, the granite exhibits flow banding at several areas across the mountain. This implies that as the magma was flowing as it was cooling and forming minerals. This movement would serve to expose greater surface area to cooling by the surrounding country rock. Yet with cooling occurring across the granitic mass, the granite retained its uniform granular size and composition. Xenoliths Xenoliths are chunks of the original country rock in the granitic rock. The xenoliths found at Stone Mountain consist of biotite gneiss and amphibolite which are believed to be characteristic of the older metamorphic rocks which at one time covered the mountain.
What a marvelous creation of God, that is for sure. As for the carving of Confederate individuals, it is part of our history and we can learn and teach and recognize that our nation was not perfect and is never going to be perfect but we do strive to be a "more perfect nation" and we are have for sure come a long way since the Civil War days. Be thankful you live in America. Amen? and Amen!!
