An acquaintance recieved her masters in geology from a state university in deep Appalachia. (you've probably heard of their football team) All of the professors were YE creationists and rejected plate tectonics.
I don't know any details, because this was years ago and I didn't think to ask questions. So I don't know if these were personal beliefs that you wouldn't know about unless your deep in the dept. or if they were teaching this crap to students.
Plate tectonics was only accepted in the sixties (but I doubt your story was that long ago). I don't know what it is about geologists that makes them drop the ball so hard.
Oh, this was the mid-late 90s.

(was raised in some silly churches)
That both somehow doesn't surprise me and also, yiiikes
