Fossils

VIEWPOINT



Fossils - they are found all around the world.They exist because they were buried quickly, usually by a catastrophic event. So how does that relate to their location in the so-called "geologic column"? If the layers of this fictional column took ages to deposit, how did fossils get there? Where did the dirt come from?

FACT



Many dinosaurs have gone extinct.


BLUE VIEWPOINT



Age by location - or location by age?

If the location of a fossil in the "geologic column" defines its age, how does one explain the existence of fossilized tree trunks, and animals, whose fossils span layers that supposedly took millions of years to form? And if, as some say, the presence of a fossil in a certain layer dates the layer, which are we to believe? We believe neither.

Where do they come from?

Fossils are created when a dead or dying creature is buried in a way that their remains are protected from disintegration by the elements - usually in mud. Fossils do not occur by laying out in the open for thousands or millions of years to be eventually covered by uniformitarian dust deposits. Catastrophes like major landslides, large meteors impacting the earth are all possible, of course, but a much more likely scenario would be the Biblical deluge. The turmoil caused by the upheaval of the earth and the movement of massive amounts of water that covered mountains over the entire earth, and the hydrologic sorting that would naturally ensue, would bury large numbers of creatures resulting in fossils. This would also explain the fossils that span many layers that are not the result of millions of years of erosion, but the deposit of soils over several months of flood aftermath.

Clams climb mountains?

The Biblical flood resolves another issue that the evolution and bigbang thoeories cannot overcome. There have been clams found on mountaintops around the world. There are basically two explanations given for this.

The evolutionists have explained it by referring to the phenomenon of plate tectonics which create mountains. They suggest we see this in action by using a table cloth and push the ends toward each other, creating ripples in the fabric. These explanations fail to explain how continued pressure causes the valleys to become mountaintops, and then, with more pressure, become valleys again. Since they imply that shifting continents continue to ram each other occasionally, this makes the valley/mountain reversal a "natural" event. Since no one has seen this, this must be a wild guess where the laws of physics have to be revised to allow for the unnatural activity of nature.

The Biblical flood explains this in a one-time event that allows for the tectonics in the breaking open of the "fountains of the deep", creating the great scars we see in the ocean floor maps today. This plate tectonics movement after the receding of the waters caused the plates to shift and create the mountain ranges we see today. The explanation that this was a one-time happening allows for the lack of the many movements necessary, creating multiple scars in addition to those we see today, for the thousands of different rising and lowering required by the "natural" evolutionist theory.
