Does the Fossil Record Support Evolution?
The World Today
The evolution philosophy has taken over the world. It’s methods permeate throughout human society and manifest itself in selfishness. Evolution is a doctrine of selfishness expressed in the evolutionary law of “the survival of the fittest.” Hitler believed in it and tried to produce a master race of super men. The SS were the most efficient killing machines ever produced. Without the slightest compassion they cold-bloodedly tortured and executed millions of people in the death camps of the Nazis. The Communist system under Stalin was similarly characteristically harsh and cruel and held to the survival of the fittest as their doctrine. They believed that they were the fittest. The British Empire was similarly affected although somewhat in a different way. They believed that the white races were the pinnacle of evolution and felt that they had a Christian duty to try and raise the inferior dark races and so tried to work along with evolution. To that extent they established law and order amongst the various tribes and maintained a strong military presence to keep the peace. Nevertheless the dark races were regarded as inferior and greedy businessmen used the philosophy to expand their business at the expense of the people. Of course this has changed somewhat today, doubtless because science has revealed that we are all of the same kind. We all have the same number of chromosomes, and our DNA reveals that we are all of the same kind and that is why we can freely intermarry. It has become increasingly difficult to justify the superiority of the white races because of the fundamental equality that exists in humans. However the large amount of ethnic struggles and wars during the 20th century indicate that much of this profession of racial equality is hypocritical.
However the fact remains that the evolutionary law of the “survival of the fittest “ has provided the justification for the greedy exploitation of nations and individuals and the large increase in crime all over the world. All of this is spite of the fact that evolution scientifically has not got a leg to stand on. It is a fraudulent philosophy that has taken over the world.
An Unsupported Belief
Despite all the dogmatic statements to the contrary the theory of evolution remains a theory. Nowhere on earth do we find visible evidence of creatures that are partially formed coming into existence. Nowhere on earth do we find animals visibly changing from one kind into another. The genetic barrier has fixed the boundaries of the species or kind and this is a scientific fact.
Earth’s present atmosphere makes it impossible for the chemistry that supports life to form spontaneously. Evolutionists have therefore been forced to theorize that at one time the earth had a completely different atmosphere to account for the formation of the chemical substances that are the basis of life. Other than the theory of evolution there is not the slightest shred of evidence to support this assertion. Is this true science?
The absence of any factual material evidence is a serious flaw in the evolution theory and the excuse given has been that it happens too slowly to be observed in nature. The result is that that evolutionists have had to turn to the fossil record as proof of evolution. There, it is asserted lies the proof of evolution written in the rocks of the earth, but is this truly so? There is a table in the article “ Evolution and the Real World“ that will compare the actual evidence in the real world with evolution.
“Custers’s Last Stand”
The fossil record contains millions of fossils of all forms of life from all over the earth. It is a global phenomenon. And these fossils are all mainly buried in sedimentary rock. The evolutionary explanation is that the fossils are millions of years old because the rocks that contain the fossils are millions of years old but is this so?
The fact is, that there is no way of measuring the age of sedimentary rock. When we try to measure the age of the rock we would be only measuring the age of the materials that were ripped up and these could have been in existence a longtime before the flood.
Allow me to explain.
The very word sediment describes the way that sedimentary rock was formed. The age of its mineral materials was fixed long before they were ripped up and held in suspension by the floodwaters, whereas the age of the fossils was fixed at the time that the flood actually occurred. Why? Because that was when the animals drowned and died, ending up within the sediment that was later deposited. The two time factors are completely unrelated. Sedimentary rock is actually composed of materials that were ripped up and subsequently deposited as sediment when the waters subsided On the other hand the animals and other life forms that were drowned together with any vegetation that was ripped up were all carried around in suspension until the violent activity of the waters ceased so that the sediment could settle at the bottom. The sediment then dried out after the waters receded and over a period of time, the materials were cemented together to form sedimentary rock resulting in the preservation of the remains of the animals, the sea life and the vegetation that were later changed into fossils. However, it is the date of the flood that trapped these animals that we require and not the date of the rock itself.
Now any method that purports to date the materials that form the rock are simply dating materials that was ripped up at the time of the flood and not the date of the flood itself. This means that the only way we can date the formation of sedimentary rock is if we know when the actual flood occurred. Why? Because that is when the sedimentary rock was basically formed. Therefore we need to turn to historical records for the information.
How have evolutionists treated this serious problem with their evidence? They have basically relied on the ignorance of the public to accomplish this deception. How? One way has been by insinuating that radioactive dating methods are used to date the rocks, whereas what we require is the date when the animals were drowned by the flood that laid the sediment, and not the date of the rock. Furthermore, when dating any actual organic remains that they may have found by radioactive tests, they fail to mention that these only give dates in thousands of years.
Because evolutionary geologists have no genuine way of dating the fossils in the actual rock, they have used the evolution theory to get them out of their dilemma. How have they accomplished this? Evolutionary biologists have simply arranged the fossils that they have found, in an imaginary sequence and then assumed that this is the way they have actually evolved. They have labeled these fossils, index fossils and offered them as date indicators to the geologists, claiming that in whatever strata layer the index fossil may be found, the strata layer can then be given the date assigned to the index fossil. By artificially arranging the fossils sequentially according to the evolutionary model, assigning them imaginary ages according to the evolutionary model, labeling these fossils as index fossils and then using them to date the sedimentary rock, they have devised a masterful distortion of the facts. This hoax has been explained in more detail in my articles entitled “Evolution’s Time Scale” and “the Geological Hoax.” This may be a brilliant evolutionary plan but it is fraudulent deception and not true science.
The Only Way to Date the Fossils
If we wish to date the age of the fossils found in the sedimentary rock, then we need to know when the sedimentary rock was actually formed. To do this we have to turn to history. Does history record any actual event that can help us in this regard? Yes, and this is where the Bible comes into the picture.
Because the sedimentary rock is a global phenomenon, a global solution rather than a local solution best fits the facts. The Bible records that about 2026 BCE a global flood occurred that wiped out all life on earth and only preserved a small family together with the specimens of life that we find existent today. Is this substantiated from other sources? Yes, all over the earth in the history of the many indigenous peoples found on our planet, we find legends of a great flood that destroyed all life and in which only a few people were saved. The accounts sometimes vary in the details but in essence they all refer to a worldwide destruction by a flood. We may justifiably ask; If the flood story was not true then why have all these legends referred to destruction by a flood and not by volcanic action, earthquakes, pestilences or any other form of destruction/ Why a flood?
The Bible as History
Can the Bible be treated as accurate history? Yes, for the following reasons.
The Bible is not a single book as many people imagine, but is a library of 66 books that have been bound together to form one book because of their common theme. The books that form the library were written over a period of 1600 years and the writers were contemporary with the conditions of their time. Furthermore, what other library can be put together in this way? 36 writers, most of them living at completely different times, sometimes centuries apart, over a period of about 1600 years have produced a piece of literature that accurately reflects the conditions that prevailed in the world at the time that they individually lived. Can the men who wrote be trusted?
Yes! One of the remarkable facts about the Bible is that it is regarded as the national history of a nation that chose all its kings and priests according to their genealogy. The kings were selected from the tribe of Judah and the priests from the tribe of Levi. The result has been that the nation itself had to keep very accurate genealogical records to accomplish this selection. Furthermore in keeping with this practice the Bible itself has kept accurate records of when individuals were born and how long they lived. Furthermore the installation of kings and the length of their reigns were clearly identified. Other instances where events were clearly marked in history were the wars, defeats and captivity of the nation, what other nations were involved and also many other notable events. All this information is invaluable in helping us to date these events according to our modern Gregorian calendar. A notable example is 539 BCE which is the date that Cyrus Conquered Babylon. This date is accepted by almost all modern day historians and forms a pivot date around which other events in the Bible can be accurately dated.
The individuals that recorded the books of the Bible were scrupulously honest men, who even recorded their own shortcomings and how they suffered because of their shortcomings. This has certainly not been the custom of secular historical writers. What is truly amazing is that although the bible is the national record of the nation of Israel, It faithfully records the defeats and failures of the nation. It even records how it’s people were all taken into captivity by the Babylonians for a period of 70 years. Secular writers are well known for never ever mentioning defeats or details such as this.
Because the Bible’s accurate history of the global flood means the destruction of the evolution theory regarding the dating of the fossil record, evolutionists and atheist have done everything in their power to discredit it. These modern-day critics are just the last in a long line of attempted efforts to either have the Bible banned, destroyed, or discredited. The copyists and translators, worked hard to preserve the original text at the risk of their lives. Thousands of ancient manuscripts in different languages exist today, attesting to its textual accuracy. Even when slight mistakes were made in the text, comparison with older manuscript texts have resulted in the restoration of the original renderings, so that we can confidentially say today, that no other ancient document has had its textual accuracy so thoroughly confirmed and has been treated with such respect and reverence. Even archaeologists use the Bible as a handbook to find their way around the ancient world as they search for the locations of ancient city sites and use it to search for information that would paint the background of those times. The final say is that it is the only ancient document that is freely available in almost any language on earth whereas all other documents are only to be found in museums
Why did Early Geologists accept the Flood?
Evolutionists draw on their imagination to find an alternative method to account for the demise of the dinosaurs. Collisions with meteorites, Epidemics and everything else but the global flood have been suggested. However none of these methods form fossils in sedimentary rock, which their proponents fail to mention, whereas the flood of Noah’s day supplies the most logical explanation for their formation. Furthermore the flood is presented in the Bible as an historical event supported by many ancient legends that abound.
Before the evolution theory came to be accepted, by the scientific world the early geologists all accepted the fossil record as confirmation that the flood mentioned in Genesis actually occurred. However the global flood removes the fossil record as a tool for the evolutionist. This is because the global flood rules out the millions of years required for the evolution theory to be true. It leaves them without a shred of evidence to support the theory, no matter how dogmatic the assertions of the evolutionists that evolution is a fact. It destroys the imaginative sequence of fossils that the evolutionists have put together. The existence of the flood explains why the fossils of sea life that were on the sea bottoms were buried in the lowest layers in general, because these were buried first when the water flowing from the continents dumped sediment on top of them. It explains why certain fish were found as fossils in a swimming position.
However its also explains why certain layers of fossils are out of order, and fish life may even be above animal life, because the Bible says that the flood waters came down in forty days and nights (see the article on my site “Is the Genesis account Scientific?”) but the flood itself lasted about a year and it is obvious that with the earth in such an upheaval, it may have taken a few years to settle down with tidal action remixing many of the sedimentary rock layers.
The fact remains, evolution remains an imaginative theory unsupported by the true facts of science. Its continuance testifies to the desperation of the materialists and atheists who reject the facts of creation. To this day the evolutionists ignore the evidence supplied by the astronomers that the universe is expanding and therefore had to have had a beginning. Furthermore, they ignore the work of the physicists that have shown that the blazing stars are consuming the matter of the universe as they produce energy, which implies that the matter of the universe would all be depleted if the universe was eternal and the universe would be dead. This means that the universe had a beginning and that means that it had to have been created. The media parrot the evolutionary phrases of millions of years and how evolution has produced this or that but it is all in the imagination of the evolutionist. Even when discussing the universe itself the evolutionists continue to use expressions that imply that the universe evolved. We may rightly ask how the universe managed to evolve from nothing? When God created he was under no obligation to use their evolutionary explanations that are nothing more than expressions of a fertile imagination.
Evolutionists Believe in Magic
Evolutionists believe that when the conditions are right and the right chemicals are present life will suddenly appear by itself. One of their pet expressions is “Life will find a way” as if life is intelligent. Is this sound scientific thinking or just a statement of belief? Where is the proof of all this conjecture? There is none.
According to the Bible record the flood occurred about 4000 years ago and apart from any remains of animals that may have been uprooted and so recycled during the flood, most of the fossils were certainly those of animals that had been drowned or trapped in the sediment that was laid during the flood. This does not mean that these kinds of animals have not existed perhaps a long time before, but it does suggest that they were still living at the time of the flood that destroyed them.
So am I wrong when I suggest that the global flood of Noah’s day is the deathblow to the evolution theory?
Surely the imaginary sequence of evolutionary life is a delusion and not more than a modern myth that will be looked back on in the future as one of the myths dating from our time.
(2 Peter 3:3-7) . . .For YOU know this first, that in the last days there will come ridiculers with their ridicule, proceeding according to their own desires 4 and saying: “Where is this promised presence of his? Why, from the day our forefathers fell asleep [in death], all things are continuing exactly as from creation’s beginning.” 5 For, according to their wish, this fact escapes their notice, that there were heavens from of old and an earth standing compactly out of water and in the midst of water by the word of God; 6 and by those [means] the world of that time suffered destruction when it was deluged with water. 7 But by the same word the heavens and the earth that are now are stored up for fire and are being reserved to the day of judgment and of destruction of the ungodly men.
