![]() These granite masses shrunk a little as they cooled and crystallized, but no cracks opened up because the immense weight of the overlying rock layers pushed the rock mass tightly together. There the granite magma cooled and crystallized to form the rock called granite. This magma then squeezed upwards along fractures and collected wherever spaces were forced to open up close to the earth’s surface. Deep in the earth’s crust (its thin outer skin) the temperatures and pressures were so high that the rocks sometimes melted to form granite magma (molten rock). The actual science behind these boulders is pretty straightforward. Other famous rounded boulders attract tourists to Dartmoor in England Spitzkoppe, Namibia (Africa) Kit-Mikayi in Kenya (Africa) and Giant Marbles at Joshua Tree National Park, California (USA). This granite mass likely formed during the Creation Week. Two catastrophic episodes in earth history could explain when granite formed rapidly-when God formed dry land on Day Three of Creation Week, and during the global watery cataclysm of Noah’s day. Because it leaves out God’s record about His catastrophic interventions in the past, it fails to recognize how quickly these things occurred. The erosion of the granite in the conventional geologic story does explain the boulders but not the timing of their formation. Evolutionary geologists say the rocks formed deep in the earth 1.7 billion years ago, and then erosion over long ages produced these features at the surface. A dreaming story says the Devil Man created these features when he left twirled clusters of hair on the ground that became round boulders. The local indigenous Australians call the region Karlu Karlu (“round boulders”) and consider it a sacred site. The Devils Marbles are an iconic landmark in Australia’s Outback. The original granite blocks were formed during Creation and later sculpted in the harsh environmental conditions after the Flood. ![]() Strewn around the ground in Australia’s interior are rounded, free-standing boulders.
