In the Fossil Record, there are numerous examples of trackways appearing before the fossils of the animals that made them! If the layers formed slowly over long periods of time (millions of years), why did the tracks form into fossils at times when the hard parts of that creature did not fossilize until later? Maybe a simpler and more reasonable explanation is that these were footprints of creatures fleeing the rising floodwaters that eventually would have inundated...
Read MoreA Moving Mountain!
Mount Mannen in Norway is collapsing! This is puzzling to secular scientists. Notice how our worldview affects the way we view the evidence: “People tend to regard mountains as more or less permanent fixtures, so they are generally surprised when they undergo rapid changes.11 One big factor in this surprise is the way in which the philosophy of uniformitarianism is deeply interwoven into modern culture. Any discussion of geological features always involves the...
Read MoreTracks up to the fossils!
“Animal tracks almost always precede body fossils in the fossil record, as paleontologist Dr Marcus Ross explains (see Reading evolution into the Scriptures and Is Genesis History?): “This is a pattern we see in several different groups, where their footprints are first, and their body parts are later. For the trilobites, for the amphibians, for the dinosaurs—the first time I find evidence of them in the fossil record, it’s from trackways, not from hard parts. From...
Read MoreHow Tall??
According to Wikipedia, the Colorado Plateau rose up 20 million years ago. -Based on 7 in of erosion / 1000 years, in 20 million years, 11,666 ft would erode. The Colorado plateau is currently between 5000-7000 ft elevation. So was the plateau 17,000 ft tall??
Read MoreWhere did all that water go?
There are two questions that are frequently asked regarding the Flood. The first one is, “If there really was a global flood, where did all that water go? The second is, “How could there be a worldwide flood? We do not have enough water to cover the whole earth above the tallest mountains. These arguments sound good on the surface until one dives a bit deeper. The answer to this question is amazingly simple yet well-known (and even Christian) scholars have never thought...
Read MoreIce Age and the Flood
To explain the Ice Age, think Flood. Post-flood oceans were likely quite warm, due largely to undersea vulcanism. Warm, moist air masses from these hot oceans dumped massive precipitation over the emerging cooler continents. Near the colder center of the continents and in the higher altitudes, tremendous amounts of snow would have accumulated leading to the Ice Age. The oceans finally cooled allowing the ice to recede. According to meteorologist, Michael Oard, in his books,...
Read MoreThe Great Unconformity
Throughout the world, there is a sharp break between ancient rock and the sedimentary or volcanic material on top of it. This is called the “Great Unconformity.” In many places just above this break, large deposits of rock debris including very large boulders are found. It appears like a major water catastrophe planed off the existing landscape leaving the large boulders behind. This is considered by many Biblical geologists to represent the time of the initial...
Read MoreLimestone Fossils Question Time and Support a Flood
Fossil Clams and Orthoceras Bedding Directions Some limestone layers found in Texas contain thousands of petrified clams. The clams are so tightly packed, they are touching each other. Clams don’t normally live nor die the way they are found. Most of the fossils are tightly closed. Since clam shells open when a clam dies, these clams were buried alive so quickly that they didn’t have a chance to dig their way out of the sediment. This mass mortality of clams...
Read MoreGeology and the Life of a Soldier
Derek Ager wrote a book called the Nature of the Stratigraphic Record. The book talked about how rock layers are very widespread (in some cases trans-oceanic) and showed tremendous evidence of catastrophism. One eye-opening quote was, “The history of any one part of the world is like the life of a soldier. It consists of long periods of boredom and short periods of terror.” He said it was those short periods of terror that was responsible for the bulk of the...
Read MoreUndersea Canyons
Far out on the continental shelf below hundreds of feet of water are very large canyons. How did they get there? Perhaps the ocean level was much lower in the past allowing canyon carving offshore. This fits nicely with the Biblical Flood. During the Flood, the whole earth was covered by water. According to Psalm 104 (NAS), the mountains rose up and the valleys sank down. Water filled the oceanic trenches to a great depth lowering the global sea level. Other large bodies...
Read MoreOld Mountains – Young Mountains
How do young earth, Flood geologists explain different age mountain ranges? ANSWER: Because of the violent nature of the Flood waters, mountains that existed before the Flood or that raised up during the early part of the Flood would have been planed off leaving what appears now to be an ancient mountain range. Those mountains rising during later stages of the Flood would have been greatly eroded, but not totally planed off. They would appear today to be mid-age mountains....
Read MoreBoulders and Mud Layers in Coal Formations
Boulders in Coal Layers It has been generally thought that multiple layers of coal found in the eastern US came as the result of trees rotting in swamps over millions of years. In the midst of some of the richest layers of coal, large boulders of totally different rock are also found. Boulders do not grow in swamps, so it seems the trees that formed the coal were ripped up and floated in from a great distance. Perhaps on high seas during the Flood, trees rubbed against each...
