Proof of the flood (part 2)

Yet another Problem for Evolutionists

Evolutionary geologists, of course, confess that fossils could be preserved only by quick burial. But they try to attribute all this fossilization to flash floods of rivers, and other such local occurrences which geologists use in their reasoning (Historical Geology, pp. 35-39). This is an obvious impossibility when we consider that there are also sedimentary layers containing millions of fossils, covering thousands of square miles — an impossibility for the local burial the evolutionist postulates.

An outstanding example is the world-famous burial ground of animals at Agate Springs, in the low sand hills on the plains of northwestern Nebraska.

R.S. Lull, director of the Peabody Museum at Yale, said these fossils ". . . form a veritable pavement of interlacing bones . . ." (R.S. Lull, Fossils, p. 34).

Fossil experts from the Carnegie Museum found 164,000 bones of mammals in a space of 1350 square feet.

Mammals of every kind died in great numbers and were buried in a tangle of bones. These mammals obviously were first drowned by the rising floodwaters and then carried along to Agate Springs, where they were buried under several layers of sediment.

 

Even Soft Parts Preserved as Fossils

At Geiseltal, Germany, geologists have found buried as fossils "a complete mixture of plants and insects from all climatic zones" (N. Heribert-Nilsson, Synthetische Artbildung, pp. 1195-1196).

This famous Swedish scientist said, ". . . in certain cases the leaves have been deposited and preserved in a fully fresh condition" (pp. 1195-1196).

Nilsson also notes that there was preserved the "soft parts of the insects: muscles, corium, epidermis, keratin, color stuffs as melanin and lipochrome, glands, and the contents of the intestines" (Synthetische Artbildung, pp. 1195-1196).

The soft parts of insects deteriorate beyond recognition in a few hours by the natural proms of decay. How could the body of a dead insect, such as a common housefly, be preserved for long ages while waiting for sedimentary rock layers to gradually form around it? Scientific facts prove the burial of these fossil insects was exceedingly rapid.

Here is clear proof that these plants, animals, insects, and fish were suddenly buried by silt-laden floodwaters before the slightest decay could begin. Even the paleontologist N.D. Newell admits that in these "Eocene," or Flood deposits, in Geiseltal, "More than six thousand remains of vertebrate animals and a great number of insects molluscs, and plants were found. . . saw "well-preserved bits of hair, feathers and scales. . ." He said, "The stomach contents of beetles, amphibia, fishes, birds and mammals provided direct evidence about eating habits" (N.D. Newell, "Adequacy of the Fossil Record," Journal of Paleontology, Vol. 33, May 1959, p. 496). Yes, these fossil remains of insects, fish, and land animals in Geiseltal, Germany, were buried SUDDENLY by the Flood. The proof is irrefutable!

 

Why Geologists Ignore Facts

Why do evolutionary geologists so often fail to mention the fact that many a sedimentary rock layer is packed with the mixed fossil remains of BOTH land animals and deep-sea fish?

The answer is that evolutionary geologists follow the, practice of ignoring all facts that they cannot explain by their theories. Deep-sea fish and land animals could not possibly have died naturally in the same spot. They were undoubtedly brought together by moving water.

It is neither logical nor scholarly to ignore the proof that a world-wide Flood buried sea life and land life together.

There is certainly nothing being formed today like the enormous fossil beds that were deposited by Noah's Flood!

Evolutionary geologists just do not understand this evidence.

 

TWO Catastrophes

Neither do geologists understand why the rocks laid down by Noah's Flood can in general be dug with a shovel, while those below are usually so hard they can be dug into only with dynamite and cutting tools.

The answer is plain!

There were two great times of destruction, two great catastrophes! And that first catastrophe — which befell the earth before the creation of man and other warm-blooded creatures — was even more sudden, more terrible than what befell the world in Noah's day. The earth was left in utter darkness (Gen. 1:2). God had to reshape the surface of the earth and recreate life in six days (Gen. 1 and 2; Psalm 104:29-30).

There is no way to understand how these events happened without using the Bible as a basis.

 

Millions of Years? — or Minutes?

The geologist Hugh Miller describes the remarkable layers of fossilized fish from the pre-Adamic world. He said: "The stratum, over wide areas, seems an almost continuous layer of matter: bones, jaws, teeth, spines, scales, palatal plates, and shagreen-like bristles, all massed together. . . "

He admitted these fish showed irrefutable signs of having suffered a violent death: "The figures are contorted, contracted, curved; the tail in many instances is bent around to the head; the spines stick out, the fins are spread to the full, as in fish that die in convulsions. . . .'

These fish were buried so suddenly that they "were fixed in their attitude of terrorism and surprise" (Hugh Miller, The Old Red Sandstone).

Many of these fossil fish were buried so suddenly that traces of color upon their skin are still preserved.

The next article will prove that these fish of "The Old Red Sandstone" were buried as fossils in a catastrophe which occurred BEFORE man was created less than 6,000 years ago. We will show you astonishing proof that coal was formed by this pre-Adamic catastrophe.

Does God Intervene in World Affairs?

We saw in the first article on the Flood that many theologians — who ought to know better — have allowed evolutionary geologists to dupe them into believing that God has never intervened in the past history of the earth. This mistake leads them to think they have no cause to fear that He will intervene in world affairs in the future.

Nothing could be farther from the truth! They ought to read their Bibles to find out what really is the truth. The Apostle Peter issued a stern-warning against the modernists of his day who mocked at the Biblical warning that the second coming of Christ would occur, that the Kingdom of God would be firmly established on earth (II Peter 3:4).

The Apostle Peter warns us against believing the foolish idea that God will never-intervene in human affairs because some scoffer claims He has never intervened in the past.

Because we have proved that a great world-wide Flood occurred, we have also proved that the Bible account is true. Because we have proved that the inspired Bible account of the Flood is true, we have also proved that God is Creator and Ruler and has the power that it took to destroy all life from the earth with a Flood, just as your Bible reveals.

Because God reveals that it will happen, the second coming of Christ is even more certain than the rising of the sun in the morning.

But because mankind has been deceived into believing he is able to find the answers to life apart from the Bible — the FOUNDATION of all knowledge — God is not going to send Jesus Christ to rule this earth until, if He should wait one more day, man would blast himself off the face of the earth (Matt. 24:22).

 

Why You Need the Truth

If there ever was a need for right KNOWLEDGE — for understanding and WISDOM — it is now!

Even a brief glance at the world today reveals we have a world in which science is unable to abolish sickness, disease, fears and worries, insecurity, high taxes, mounting crime waves, graft, mismanagement in high places, strife and competition among nations. Millions realize we are on the very verge of nuclear Cosmocide.

Scientists are madly struggling to find the answers to survival, apart from God, before man annihilates himself with atom and hydrogen bombs. These answers can't ever be found apart' from God, for God is the source of all knowledge, all wisdom and all life — there is no other source!

Let's learn to look to the SOURCE of right understanding — the BEGINNING of knowledge — the WAY to wisdom! Let us come out of this world of scientific and spiritual confusion.

God promises, if we turn to Him with our whole hearts, He will deliver us from the frightening inventions of misguided science and human government in the days ahead (Rev. 3:10).
