A BRIEF REVIEW

First and foremost, if there really was a global flood that covered the entire earth, churning up millions of tons of sediment and debris, killing every living creature that was not aboard Noah’s ark, what would be the most obvious evidence you would expect to find?

Wouldn’t it be millions and millions of fossilized remains of people and animals buried in sedimentary layers of rock that were clearly deposited by large quantities of water. And wouldn’t you expect to find these over the

entire surface of the planet?

Interestingly enough, what we find is…

BILLIONS OF DEAD THINGS BURIED IN ROCK LAYERS LAID DOWN BY

WATER ALL OVER THE EARTH“And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man: 22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.” - Genesis 7:21

1. The Presence of Fossils

2. Position of Fossils

POLYSTRATE

FOSSILSFossilized remains of organic material running vertically

though multiple layers of strata

How could this fossil have formed if each layer of

sediment takes thousands of years to accumulate?.

We find a lot of these Polystrate Fossils. And what’s better we know

how they are made because we’ve observed it

actually happening!

On May 18th, 1980 Mount St. Helens erupted with a force that was equivalent to 24 Megatons of TNT

HERE’S THE SHORT VERSION…

The ferocious explosion took out acres of trees, snapping them like toothpicks and washing them away in the ensuring mud flows & floods

These trees were washed into nearby Spirit Lake where they consolidated into large log mats that floated for decades, many of these

enormous log rafts continue to float to this day.

Eventually many of these trees became waterlogged & began to float in the vertical position. Slowly they started to sink to the bottom of the lake

As these logs sank they were rapidly buried by the continual deposit of sediment from the volcano and mudflows. Many were completely

covered in less than a decade.

Most commonly these fossils appear as trees.

However, there have also been whales and other sea life found in the vertical

position, as well as crouching dinosaurs

POLYSTRATE

FOSSILS

Although this whale was not buried vertically, the 10-20’ height or girth of most whales would easily require numerous layers of

sediment to completely cover.

HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?We find fossils of animals doing things that seem to suggest they were buried very

rapidly and not over a period of thousands or millions of years.

Read “Geologic Evidences for the Genesis Flood” by Marcus Ross at AnswersInGenesis.com

And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.

- Genesis 7:19

4. Bent Rock Layers

BENT ROCK LAYERSThese amazing layers were

created when freshly deposited layers of sediment from the

flood were bent under the force of the great upheavals that

occurred near the end of the flood as the waters abated.

BENT ROCK LAYERS“Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains. 7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.8 They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them. 9 Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.”

- Psalm 104:6-9

BENT ROCK LAYERS

 ”Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power.”

-Psalm 65:6

BENT ROCK LAYERS

“And upon all the high mountains, and upon all

the hills that are lifted up,” -Isaiah 2:14

5. Large Scale Rapid Erosion

A LITTLE WATER AND A LOT OF TIME OR

A LOT OF WATER AND A LITTLE TIME?

Are we honestly expected to believe that this narrow, feeble river is capable of

carving this massive canyon out of solid rock?

Imagine if the scale of this erosion scenario were increased to global proportions. What kind of results would you expect to

see?Look similar?

We are all

familiar

with the

erosion

capabilities

of a sudden

down pour

of rain.

Grand Canyon

The current topography of the region to the Northeast of Grand Canyon has some interesting features that seem to fit with the idea of a global flood.

Strangely enough, some of the best evidence is the fact that there is currently almost no water in this area. However, if the low lying areas were to be filled in with water, they would look something like this…

WHERE’S THE WATER?

WHERE’S THE DIRT?

If this amount of water were turned loose over

layers of freshly deposited sediment, what kind of

erosion effects would you expect to result?

And if all of this water did erode the 277 miles of

Grand Canyon, where did all the dirt go?

Hidden beneath the flat floor of the Gulf of California’s Northern Basin are at least 6,000 cubic miles of sediments. That basin, bounded on the south by the largest islands in the Gulf, has an area of 15,000 square miles. Sediment depths are up to 1.2 miles thick! About half the basin’s sediments were rapidly transported from the Grand Canyon (on the figure’s northern horizon), along the path now occupied by the Colorado River.

WHAT HAPPENED ON MARS?• Valles Marineris• 2,500 miles long• 125 miles wide• 23,000 feet deep• 10x longer and wider than

Grand Canyon and 3x deeper• NO LIQUID WATER 

ANYWHERE ON THE PLANET

Generally accepted “scientific” conclusion?

GLOBAL

FLOOD!?

COMPARE THAT TO EARTH• Grand Canyon

• 277 miles long• 10-18 miles wide• 8,000 feet deep• River flowing through the

length of the canyon• Evidence of enormous ancient

lakes in immediate geographic vicinity

• 70% OF PLANET COVERED BY LIQUID WATER

Generally accepted “scientific” conclusion?

SLOW EROSION OVER MILLIONS OF YEARS

GLOBAL FLOOD CONSIDERED LAUGHABLE & UNSCIENTIFIC

6. Discovery of Noah’s Ark?

IS THIS THE REMAINS OF NOAH’S ARK?

• Man Made Metal• Rivets• Plates• Ballast

• Petrified Wood• Biblical Length• Rib Timbers• Deck Posts• Anchor Stones• Cat Hair• Petrified Dung• Petrified Antler• Human Hair• Man Made Fibers• Petrified Pitch

WHAT HAS BEEN FOUND THERE?

• DINOSAURS: Are they in the Bible? Were they alive at the same time as humans? How old could they really be?

• AGE OF THE EARTH: Billions of years or thousands? What does the Bible say? What kind of evidence is there to support it?

• GARDEN OF EDEN: What was the world really like before the flood. How does the Bible describe it? Do we find evidence that confirms what the Bible says?

• EVOLUTION: Could God have used evolution to create the world? Does the Bible describe anything like evolution? Is there really tangible evidence to support the theory? Can I believe in God and evolution?
