All right, brother. Josh, I'm going to jump on here
real quick. I tried to do it.
Early last time and it and it disconnected so it didn't help.
All right, there we go. All right, we're on #6 but I am
going to jump back and and I've got too many, too many
PowerPoint slides to go. All the way back.
And try to try to find it without being very disjointed.
So what I am going to do though is go back and do a little.
Bit of a review here. And I'm just going to give you
the main points this morning. If you really want to go back
and look at a lot of these, then I encourage you to go back and
watch the Sunday School lesson. From last week, this is the
this. Is a lesson that I've been
teaching in the teen class for quite some time now.
We've been working our way through it and brother Josh
being gone last. Week I decided to try.
To finish this in one week and I that wasn't a good idea, so
we're going to try to. Finish it up this week.
But let me go back and we're talking, obviously this is about
evolution versus science. And when I say science, because
we have it from the word of God and there is no reason in the
world to doubt. The the record that we have of.
Creation. There's no reason to doubt the.
Record that we have of the flood.
There's no reason to doubt any record that we find in the
Bible. Nothing that's in the Bible has
ever been disproven. Whether?
It comes to archaeology or. Science or any of these other
things. In fact, just now you know 7000.
Years after the Earth was. Created science is actually just
picking up on some of the things that the Bible has been saying
for years and years and years and years and years and along
came Charles Darwin in the 1860s eighteen 70s and.
Popularized the theory of evolution.
And there was a lot. Of people who were on board.
With him because they were looking for a way.
To disprove the Bible, they. Were looking for something other
than what? God said about how.
Everything got here. They were.
They were very. Strong Bible critics and they
were looking for something besides creation as a way.
To. To explain how everything got
here and so this. Idea of.
Evolution made perfect sense to a lot of them.
Especially with the lack. Of knowledge that they had back
in the late 1800s, even going into the early 1900's, the lack
of knowledge that they had about science and, and really how the
world worked because technology wasn't anywhere.
Close to what it is. Today, and I said this many
times. I'll give them a little bit of a
pass because. They didn't have that
information. I don't give them a pass.
At all because they they went directly.
Against God's word, they were looking for something besides
what God said about how everything got here.
But I but I do. Give them a little bit of an
understanding when it comes to trying to prove the theory of
evolution. There just wasn't information
out there. I don't understand how anybody
today could be an evolutionist with all of the information that
we have. Available with all the
technology that we have available.
Evolution has been disproven so many times.
That you really either have to be a fool.
Or you have to be completely blinded to the truth to be an
evolutionist. I don't know any other way that
you can explain it, but let me let me just go back and just
mention a couple things. To get you to where we are
today. So let me give you the first 3.
Points and then I'll give you the main points after.
That so the fossil record is used to prove.
Evolution. But actually it disproves
evolution because first of all, the the fossil record is very,
very. Vast.
We have so much information in the fossil record going back to
kind of what I mentioned just a little bit.
Ago, Charles. Darwin knew that the fossil
record did not provide evidence for his.
Doctrine, but he believed this. Problem could be explained by
the incompleteness of the record and the rudimentary state of
paleontology in his day. The study of these fossils was
was so little. Had been done on it that there
was not very much that they knew, and so little had been
done by way of excavation and archaeology into the fossil
record that there just wasn't anything there, Charles Darwin
said. Once paleontology takes off as a
scientific field, and once we have a lot more.
Fossils from the fossil record, I believe that it will prove the
theory of evolution. Well, here we are, 100 a 150
years later and it has not done that.
In fact, it's done the exact opposite.
And that's why I say. That the fossil record actually
disproves evolution and there's some big problems.
That the evolutionists have. Because of the fossil record.
There's some huge advantages that we have as creationists.
Listen, you know I. Believe it because God said.
It I don't need proof from the. World I I believe it because God
said it, but. It sure is nice to have all the
proof in the world that backs up what we believe from God's Word,
and that's exactly what we have so.
The first problem #1 is that the fossil records.
Geologic column has major problems and some of those major
problems I've listed there missing strata.
All these layers that they say are supposed to be.
There in lots of places in the world, there's just no strata.
There. It's all jumbled.
Together, that's the second. Point the Third, Point another.
Problem is the fossilized trees. That go through the entire
layer. We mentioned this but.
If. It died.
It would not sit there for millions of years waiting for
these layers. Of rock to build up.
Around it and it certainly. Wouldn't be fossilized it only?
Fought is it only things only get fossilized if fossilized?
If they're buried very quickly, another problem is all the out
of place fossils. You see fossils that are
supposed to be. 150 million years old, buried on top of
fossils. That are supposed to be. 50
million years old and vice versa.
And so that's a huge problem for evolutionists #2 the.
Fossil record does. Not contain the countless
transitional creatures that Darwinian evolution requires.
If we're going to have this idea of transitional forms, then they
should be all over the place in the fossil record.
There's none. Not just that, they're not all
over the place. There's none.
None of them have ever been found #3 this is on the 2nd.
Page there the fossil. Record shows creatures appearing
suddenly fully formed with no evolutionary history.
We don't find single celled and then multi celled and then more
and more complex. Creatures at the very bottom
level of. The fossil record we find.
Creatures that are exactly like the creatures that are alive
today fully. Formed and buried in those very
first layers? No, no single celled creatures.
No semi intelligent looking creatures.
No, that they're all the way at. The very beginning in the
Cambrian explosion. As they call it biologies.
Big Bang, all the sudden everything is there and the
reason why is because it happened.
Because of a great. Flood.
Everything ended up there in the flood, Not over millions of
years. #4 the fossil record. Demonstrates complexity from
its. Earliest layers.
They say that these simple creatures.
Were the first ones to be. Formed that's your letter A
there the Darwinian doctrine of evolution.
Life arose from a simple creature.
Such as? Bacterium and then just went
higher and higher and higher in their life forms as things
evolved and as things developed and as as there were transitions
and all of these other. Things but letter B creatures.
Appear not only fully developed, but with incredibly complex
features. And we mentioned a few things,
you know, there's. There's one creature that has
50. 1000 lenses in his eyes, right?
A bat that. Was found in that in those.
Earliest levels of the fossil record is exactly.
The same as a bat. That you would find today.
No difference the. Complexity of creatures let us
see at every level of the fossil record disproves evolution #5
the fossil record exhibits stasis or stability of species
rather. Than change exactly what I just
mentioned. When it comes to a bat and many,
many other things in the fossil record, there is no change
between the fossils. Of the quote UN quote.
Millions of years ago, and the bones of these creatures that we
find today #1 they're not millions of years old, they're
only thousands of. Years old at the oldest.
And #2 it's because there was no evolutionary change over
millions of years. The creatures that were there.
Thousands. Of years ago are the.
Same as. The creatures that we have.
Today, in their mind, millions of years ago, which makes it
even harder to believe. If it was millions of years,
then you certainly would think that there would be great
changes if evolution was actually taking place.
There are none of those changes, and that's a big problem for
them. So we got to #6.
And that's where we are today. I gave you a little bit of this
already, but. Let's jump right in #6 the
uniformitarian view is now rejected even by evolutionists.
That was one of their main arguments, if you will.
For all of those. Years.
Is that everything? Well, let me go here.
Charles Lyell. So I started.
Mentioning this at the end. Of last.
Week, there were three main people who did not come up with
the theory of evolution, but who popularized it and and the
theory of evolution has been around for hundreds of years.
Charles Darwin wrote his. Book on the origin of species.
And that's what made it popular. Charles Darwin was not.
Much of A public speaker. He was not one to, you know,
really get up in these public forums and and spout his ideas
of evolution. Not that he never did that, but.
He had a guy that was that was. Called Darwin's Bulldog.
Does any any of the young people remember I mentioned it last
week? Does anybody remember what his
name is? Thomas Huxley was known as
Darwin. 'S bulldog because he.
Was the one who took. Took this book.
And took Charles Darwin's ideas. Obviously they became good
friends. He was a student of Charles
Darwin and he was the one that was proclaiming far and.
Wide this idea of evolution. Charles Lyell was a student of
Charles Darwin and Thomas. Huxley and so he.
Was the one that came up with this idea of uniformitarianism
now uniformitarianism? Is the idea is that the past is
the key to the? Present conditions have remained
the same over millions of years of time, and I used.
Last week I believe the. Example of the Grand Canyon,
right? We can look.
At the river. That runs at the bottom of the
Grand Canyon and see how much it's carving out of that Canyon
today. And I don't know what it is,
maybe an inch, maybe a couple inches that it's actually
carving out. And so if you were actually.
To go back in time and say that this river has been carving this
Canyon out at that same. Rate for all of these years.
And how deep the Grand Canyon is.
I think the Grand Canyon is almost a mile deep in places.
Imagine how long it must have taken for.
That river to carve. The Grand Canyon.
So if it took that long for it to carve it.
Then we know that the Grand Canyon has to be millions of.
Years old because this is. The right that it's cutting
through there today. The problem is uniformitarianism
is not a valid scientific proposition, right?
You can just look around at things today and see look.
Look. Look at what happened.
With the floods in. Texas, Just just.
A month ago I mean it. Destroyed houses, these little
creeks. Became massive rivers and they
took out huge swaths of land, right?
They changed the entire landscape in less than a day,
not over millions of years. So there's no way that you can
say that everything that's happening.
At this rate, today is. Exactly the same rate that it
happened for all the millions of years leading up to that.
And even evolutionists have gotten to that point where they
agree that there's just no way that that's.
Possible so. Today, this theory is being
rejected by the evidence that things formerly thought to have
required millions of years can actually occur very quickly.
And like I said, even they are willing to agree with that.
Some geologists are calling themselves Neo.
Catastrophists. They believe that many of the
fossil rocks. Were laid down by Massive.
Local floods, all right. And now what they're saying, all
right. And actually I think I missed.
Letter A for you there, Charles Lyell said the.
Geological layers were laid down over millions.
Of years of gradual buildup. But this this theory all right.
This is This is. Your next point here, sorry, let
me go back. Let me go back and give you this
one. This is your second one today.
Letter B today. This theory is being rejected by
the evidence that things formerly thought to have
required millions of years can actually occur very quickly.
I'm skipping through these things and so I apologize if I
missed one of these here, but let me let me and and my mind is
going in a bunch of different directions because there's a lot
of things to say about this, but let me let me bring you up to
speed on something here that. Got us to the point.
Where? Evolution is is just accepted
everywhere, right You go to. Almost any public museum,
everything is millions of years, right?
And and it's just assumed. It's not even well, scientists
think that it was millions of years.
They say millions of years ago this happened or 150 million
years ago this happened. It's not even a question.
How did that get to that point? How is it that creation is not
taught in public schools, but only evolution is taught in
public schools? Does anybody know what the
turning point was for when evolution was essentially widely
accepted in our? School.
System widely accepted as something that was that was
being taught in in all of the scientific colleges and
communities. Does anybody know?
What that would be? Besides the kids, Because you
should know, I've already taught you about it.
Anybody know? It was before that, Yeah.
Miss Vicki. OK, you guys are hitting it.
I'm I'm I'm actually I'm thinking about at a specific
event that happened. The scopes trial, right?
The Scopes trial. Was was one of your main
catalyst? If you will to getting.
Evolution into the. Schools.
The scopes trial was. Basically.
And William Jennings Bryan was one of your main lawyers, if you
will. He was a lawyer and he was
arguing in favor of creation. And the name escapes me of the
guy who was arguing in favor of evolution, but at that time.
They actually had a lot of. Evidence quote UN quote of these
ape men. Who?
As I've said every. One of them turned out to either
be a hoax, it turned out to be false information, or it turned
out to. Be that it was that it was
either a full ape or a full. Human right?
And I said this, they found a tooth.
Of a pig they. Didn't know it was a pig at the
time. They said it was an ancient
human that was a transition between an ape and a human, and
they built an entire body around this tooth.
And then it turned out when they started doing a little bit more
research and as you know, as technology became a little bit
more advanced, that it actually belonged to a pig out the window
for that, right, Lucy? Was a was a huge.
One and you still see that you know this ape because that's
what it was it's not a human, it was an ape and and in some cases
it was fully human bones that they found in some.
Cases it was fully ape. Bones that they found, but.
They took all of this. Evidence and they presented this
and and the the the evolutionists who argued in
favor of evolution at the Scopes trial.
Did a great job of. Presenting this evidence, but
one by one, all of the things that they presented eventually
turned out to be and were proven to be either fake.
Or false. But it gave enough time for
evolution to take hold. So many people.
This was such a published. Trial in such a well known event
that it started getting a lot of people thinking, you know what,
maybe creation is not the way everything happened and maybe
evolution actually is scientific.
Look at all the evidence they have for evolution now.
They didn't know that a lot of it was made-up, right?
Piltdown man is another one. Piltdown man was actually found
in a place called Piltdown, England in a.
Basically a rock quarry. And they found these bones.
A scientist, an evolutionist who was teaching in a university was
the one who found these bones. And for?
50. Years this thing they then and
they did the same thing they reconstructed it they.
Built a model of what? This ape man looked like and
then they went back and started doing more research on it and
found out that the bones were not even real.
Somebody had fabricated the bones and then painted them to
look old. Somebody more than.
Likely the guy who actually. Found them.
He never admitted to it, but he became wealthy.
He became famous. His name?
Was all over the place. Because now he's connected.
Forever to. Evolution, but even the
evolutionist reject that now. But that was one of the main
arguments that they used in the scope trial to.
Prove that there was. Ancient humans who eventually
became or ancient, you know, apes that eventually became
humans. And and that's, I mean, that's,
that's really your main, that's really the main way that
evolution became commonplace and became, you know, your science
to so many people. And we're starting.
To see a little. Bit of a shift in the opposite
direction because 1 by 1, all of these evidences that they use
for evolution are slowly but surely being disproven.
And even the evolutionist, the honest ones at least, are coming
to the conclusion that you know what, yes, this argument that we
used to use in favor of evolution just it doesn't hold
water anymore. But this is how everything
happened. And then that one gets disproven
and they say, you know. What?
You're right. You're right.
Yeah. That you know, we we.
Had this as a theory. But but now we know that this is
not the way that evolution could have happened.
But. This is the way.
And they just keep moving the goal posts, so to speak.
Uniformitarianism is one of those things.
This was the way that everything got here and this was the way to
explain millions of years for everything.
But now even the evolutionists, and there's still.
Very, very few of them who actually hold to this, to this
theory, if you will. I don't know what.
Else you want to call it but this this idea of
uniformitarianism. So let us see.
The current evolutionary theory is that the Earth has witnessed
a series of global catastrophes. The Chicago Field Museum
actually has 6 mass extinctions. That were supposedly caused by.
Shifting continents, volcanic activity, meteors and so on.
So this is mass extinction number six that they.
Have displayed there. At the they have all the mass
extinctions displayed, but this is the one.
This is just the one in the picture.
They won't admit that there was a.
Global flood because. They don't want to believe the
Bible, but let me let me throw. This out there to.
You I'm going to end up getting so behind.
We're going to have to do this again.
I don't want to do that. So I'm going to, I'm going to
finish. This up but has there.
Been any kind of mass floods that have taken place since the
Great Flood? I mean, it sounds like a trick
question. Yes, there have been, right?
I mean, we just had one, just had one down in Texas destroyed
a whole town, right? The Johnstown flood, I mean,
there's been many. Local floods that have.
Destroyed an entire area one of the things that evolutionists
and. Others who reject the idea of
the great flood propose is that the.
Flood in God's in Noah's day was not a global flood that covered
the entire earth. But just a local flood that
destroyed all. The people and all the things in
Noah's day. But if?
We hold to that position. We are essentially saying that.
God is a liar because God said. I'm putting my bow in the clouds
as a reminder that I will never destroy the earth by a flood
again. And if it was only a localized
flood, then God has not kept his promise because there's been a.
Lot of localized floods. Since the days.
Of the great. Flood that covered the entire.
Earth. So either it was a flood that
covered. The entire earth or God lied in
the Bible, and I'm not willing to say that God lied in the
Bible. There's a There was a global
flood that covered the entire earth exactly the way that the
Bible said it was going. To happen.
So that brings us then to #7 The uniformitarian view was
disproven by Mount Saint Helens. I was not alive when Mount Saint
Helens happened. It was only right after that
that I was born. But I remember hearing much
about it even as I was growing up because it was such a huge
event. But number one, or letter A, the
Mount Saint Helens volcanic explosion has proven that
geological layers can be formed in hours and days.
Now Mount Saint Helens is in Washington state.
I've been to Washington state. I've seen some of the other
mountains up there. I've never actually seen Mount
Saint Helens, but you can go there and you can see and you
can look at pictures of what Mount Saint Helens looked like
before, and you can see what Mount Saint Helens looked like
after. This is what it looked like
before the. Explosion.
I don't know when this picture was taken, 7879, something like
that, because the flood, I mean the May 18th, 1980 is actually
when Mount Saint Helens exploded.
And of course this is. The.
Actual explosion taking place so.
Here's what it looked like. Before the explosion, this is
what Mount Saint Helens looked like after the explosion.
After that volcano went off, the entire northern face was just
completely blasted. Away.
On Mount Saint Helens, canyons up to 140 feet deep and several
miles long were carved into solid bedrock in places.
It was caused by that. Water and the and the mud and
the volcanic, the heat from the volcanoes happened in hours, not
millions of years. If every if uniformitarianism
was true and somebody came along in 150 years and didn't know
that Mountain St. Helens had had erupted 150 years
before that and they believed evolution and they looked at
that. They would say wow.
Look at these canyons. It must have taken millions of
years for these canyons to form. Somebody who was there and saw
it would know that it wasn't millions of years.
It was. Hours that it took for that to
happen. So this idea of
uniformitarianism that everything that that the present
is the key to the past and that everything has been happening at
the same. Rate for all of these years has
to be. Thrown out, these rock layers
were formed in just a very, very short time.
Here's your second point there, letter B.
This proves that layers of sediment can be laid down
quickly in that great canyons such as the Grand Canyon can
form quickly. And that's exactly what's
happened. The Grand Canyon formed very
quickly. It happened during the flood and
you think about how much water there was on the earth, right?
You ever maybe just in a Little River setting and you're just
kind of messing around by the side of the bank and you start
knocking some of that dirt away. I don't know if you've ever seen
this. This is this is actually maybe a
little bit better example, but I've seen this happen before
people. At the beach.
Start digging a giant trench you ever seen that and the next
thing you know it's not just a little trench anymore it's like
a giant river and they. And it's almost like they
rerouted the entire ocean. Or the entire lake or whatever
it happens to be to go down this new route.
And as it gets bigger, it keeps getting bigger and as it gets
more and more power, it takes more and more of that land out,
right. Think about what what power
there must have been when the. Entire earth was covered.
In water, if the entire earth was covered in water, that that
means even Mount Everest was underwater.
And, and by the way, that's how it explains fossils on the top
of mountains, right? That's how there's fish fossils.
On mountains and there is tons of them, not just one here and
there, right. It's although how do you explain
a fish on the top of a mountain, right, evolution, right.
He walked up to the top and died.
That's probably. What happened?
But yeah, obviously we. I mean, there's no other way to
explain it other than a great. Flood, but think about the power
of that water. As everything was receding and
as it was going down and you know, I mean it, I mean it just,
it must have been amazing to see the.
Power of that water you. Ever been to a huge.
Waterfall or to like a. You know, giant Rapids in a
river and just see the power of that and how it's hitting a rock
and you can see how it's carving that rock out.
Now multiply that by a million and you have probably something
about what it looked like during the.
Flood when those waters were. Receding the water is powerful.
Powerful and it's, you know, especially if everything was
muddy, you know, and everything. Was was was flexible?
And in flux. Be very, very.
Easy for that to happen. So let.
Let's go then to number 8. The fossil record contains
evidence of the global flood described in the Bible.
The fossil record contains the evidence of a global flood
that's described in the Bible. Which again.
Just goes to prove exactly what we've always.
Known the Bible is true. We don't need science to prove
the Bible for us to know that it's true.
But science does do that, and not only does it.
Prove the Bible. It disproves evolution.
Here's your first point there, Letter A, The global flood
explains the layers of sedimentary.
Rock throughout the world. The global flood.
Explains the layers of sedimentary.
Rock throughout the world Let. Me give you a few points about
that. Sedimentary rock is actually
formed by flowing water, by moving water and you have so
many examples of that. But this sedimentary rock layers
are hundreds of feet deep, they're miles long and you find
them all over the place in the world.
There's canyons everywhere in the world and, and you know the
only way. That that could have possibly.
Happened is by water flowing, and if water is flowing then it
has to be tall enough to to be above that Canyon so it can
carve it out, and it has to be enough of it flowing at the same
time. For it to carve.
That Canyon through those. Through all that, that that.
Bedrock and everything else. So Ordovician Tsum shale in
South Africa is? 30 feet thick.
Stretches hundreds of miles. The Devonian Thunder Bay
Formation in Michigan, 12 feet thick.
Stretches for hundreds of miles. The Silwaukee Hills in India, 2
to 3000 feet high and several 100 miles long.
The Morrison Formation covers an area of about a million square
miles in 13 states in America and three Canadian provinces.
Manitoba to Arizona, Alberta to Texas.
I mean, that is such a huge, huge, huge swath of land, the
Green River formation. Covers a large territory in.
Wyoming. Utah, Colorado There's a thick
layer of water laid white. Chalky rock that runs from
America to Eastern Europe. In the Middle East, we call them
the White. Cliffs of Dover maybe?
That's how you know them. They're part of this rock.
Layer that covers 2 continents. Just just huge.
There's no there's no other way to explain it other than that it
was all laid down by water. It was all it was, all cut out
by water. In some of those cases.
Here's your next point then. Letter B.
The global flood. Explains the massive fossil
beds. This is this.
Is actually a fossil bed. In what is now a National Park
in the United States. But there's just so much.
Of it there and how does that get there these fossil beds are
are vast graveyards of. Dead animals that were buried
very quickly. You don't have fossils unless
they were buried. Quickly.
Right. Things that die, rot and go back
into the Earth. And if it's not?
Covered very quickly, it's. I mean, even if listen, I mean.
You a lot of the people. Who are buried in graves are not
even there anymore, right? And they were.
I mean, they were not buried quickly.
Necessarily, but they were buried.
And many of them were even preserved, and they're still,
you know. They still go back to Earth, so
to speak. But a lot of things here, so I'm
going to. Cover this very very quickly.
Just to kind of get us to the end here this morning, but the
fossilization that we see in these great.
Fossil beds throughout the Earth.
Could not possibly be explained in evolutionary terms.
How do you have all of those things buried all in the same
place all at the same time? Fossil beds don't form under
normal conditions and as we mentioned already, dead animals
are quickly consumed by animals, insects, worms.
Bacteria. They're destroyed by the.
Actions of the environment, Sun, wind, wind, rain, moving water,
all of those things destroy dead animals and dead bodies.
They don't, they don't help to preserve it.
Giant whales, they have. ABBC video shows a dead whale
that's being devoured by fish and worms and bacteria at the
bottom of the sea. Special worms in the deep.
Sea that use acid to eat through the.
Bones of dead whales. They were first discovered on a
whale. Carcass in 2002.
Think about this, all right, One of the things that that
characterized the Old West, not the people, but before.
People got there. What was it?
One of the things that I mean just all over the plains.
Everywhere. Buffalo, right?
Bison. Everywhere.
Think about the thousands the. Hundreds of thousands of bison
that were killed during that time, right?
Hundreds of thousands literally. And yes, they, you know, they
use the skin, but a lot of times they they just.
Let the Buffalo fall where it was at.
Left the meat on it, obviously there's not.
They didn't really do anything with the bones either, right?
So you have hundreds of thousands of of dead.
Buffalo. How come you don't see that
today? It's because they don't stay
around for millions of years. They disappear.
Right. They break down, they become
brittle and they turn into these, you know, basically flaky
bones. And then they go.
Back to earth, because that's what the Bible says.
Ashes to ashes, dust, dust to dust, right?
The vast herd of of. Millions of bison that were
killed in the late 19th century. No fossil evidence anywhere.
There's a reason for that. Here's another one.
The lions. Second king, 1725.
Therefore the Lord sent lions among them, which slew some of
them. That was the story of Elijah.
I mean, sorry, not Elijah slipping my mind.
Anyway, the lions that infested Israel for centuries and that
meant were mentioned 141 times in the Bible.
There's none of them left during the time of The Crusaders.
One of the things that they. Looked at as a badge.
Of of courage and a badge of honor was to go slay a lion they
killed. All of the.
The lions that were left in Israel, no fossil evidence of
those lions anywhere. They can't.
They can't even go find the bones and reconstruct one of
those lions because they're gone.
And that's what happens. That exposes another myth, myth
in the Natural History museums, the Chicago Field Museum, they
said fossilization. Fossilization occurs naturally
when dead creatures soak in groundwater for a long, long
time. You don't even have to be a
scientist to know what happens when things soak in groundwater
for a long, long time, right? That speeds up the
decomposition. It doesn't slow it down, speeds
it up. British History.
British Museum of Natural History.
This is what the little thing there says.
Fishy. Death the.
Fossils in this slab belong to a school of fish that died in the
same place at the same time. Their lake dried out during a
hot spell, leaving the trap fish to die and then.
They just laid there for. Millions of years.
While those layers slowly grew. Over the top of them and
fossilized those fish doesn't even make any sense.
Here's Here's what the. British Museum of Natural
History When the Fish. Dies.
It falls. To the sea floor and becomes
buried in sediments the. Soft body parts rot away.
Leaving the hard bones, sediment layers accumulate and become
compacted over time, forming a rock mold around the skeleton.
The skeleton is gradually replaced by other minerals.
These are unscientific statements.
Fossilization does not naturally occur in this manner, and that's
what I'm saying. These are the people who are.
Writing the science books, they don't even understand how
science works. You don't even have to be a
scientist to know that that doesn't make any sense when a
fish dies. It's quickly devoured.
By animals. It's eaten by germs when a clam
dies. It opens up fossil graveyards.
Contains millions of clams that are closed.
That means they were fossilized rapidly.
Cold deposits contain the. Fossils of perfectly preserved.
Skeletons of large dinosaurs, which would have had been
covered instantly in order for that to happen.
Otherwise those. Bones would have disappeared.
Here's a 7 foot. Ichthyosaurus that was
fossilized. While it was giving.
Birth. I think it died.
While it was giving birth and then laid there with nothing
touching it. No, no, no natural processes
taking place. No, it's because it doesn't
happen that way. Fossil graveyards contain
millions of soft bodied organisms, bacteria, embryo
leaves, flowers, worms, jellyfish, fish eggs, insects,
including. Butterflies.
Those. Things don't sit there for
millions of years. It doesn't take them but a
month. I mean, look what happens when
the when the leaves fall from the trees and die, right?
I mean, you go back two months later and you pick up a dead
leaf and it just crumbles in your hand, right?
Something steps on it or the wind.
Blows it, it goes to dust. There's nothing left of it.
How do we have fossilized? Leaves in the fossil record.
Because it had to. Be very, very quickly.
That's impossible under normal circumstances.
Food can be seen in the. Guts of fossilized fish.
How do you think that happens? Only by burying quickly
fossilized scorpions with their stings.
Preserved fish. With embryos inside their
abdomens, the Triassic cowbrand formation is here in Virginia.
Microscopic details are preserved at a.
Resolution of approximately 1 Micron.
It's 25 times smaller than our eyes can see.
Tell me how those stayed intact after they sat there for
millions of years waiting to be. Covered up and fossilized.
Crestaceous. Sorry, Cretaceous.
Santana formations in Brazil skin.
Scales muscle fiber, gills with. Arteries and veins are visible
in one female specimen. The ovaries are preserved with
developing eggs inside of it. Lignite beds in Germany.
Leaves that are so well preserved that alpha and beta
types of chlorophyll. Can be recognized.
The color of the leaves has even been preserved.
A fish that was swallowing a fish preserved in the fossil
record. Trilobites fossilized in great.
Detail. If you've been to the Creation
Museum, you've seen those. A trilobite eye.
Trilobites had compound eyes that and they were preserved in
such details that that scientists actually have been
able to study. The eyeballs of these
trilobites. In microscopic detail, that's
how minutely preserved these things were.
Fossils that are found all. Over the Earth are evidence of a
global flood that quickly covered.
And preserved them. Here's your next point there.
Letter C, the global flood explains the sorting.
OK. And we've kind of.
Already talked about this quick. So I'm going to.
Cover this quickly, but Global Flood explains why you have
creatures that dwell at the bottom of the.
Sea on the top of the mountains and why you have fossils that
would be in all these different strata, even the ones that they.
Say are older are buried. On top.
How is that? Possible it's because they were
all buried. At the same time, the flood
didn't reach maximum height for 150 days.
Land animals and birds would have been killed after the sea
creatures that lived in the shallow areas near the land.
Letter D The global flood. Explains the mixing.
Which we've already talked about a little bit, but they.
Explains why land animals and sea animals are often together
jumbled in the. Fossil beds letter E The global
flood. Explains sea creatures on
mountains, as we've already mentioned.
How do you end? Up with sea creatures.
On mountains, well, they're all buried at the same time.
Peru and other. Places whale fossils.
Have been found high in mountains far from the ocean.
How is that possible? Well.
Because of that, the Trial of Bite was a sea creature.
And this is brother Cloud mentioning this, but I own
ammonite fossils which are found in Nepal in the high Himalayas.
They were sea creatures that that look like squid.
Or were from the squid order, but evolution to say that the
land was lifted up over a long period of time to form the
mountains with the sea fossils on top of them.
But this is this is from NASA and the Himalayas were formed
when a large landmass broke off from Africa when this landmass
came close to Asia. It started to push.
Up the land ahead of it, forming a large shallow ocean with rich
ocean life. The bones and shells of the
plants and animals in this shallow ocean formed limestone
and left fossils. They're so desperate.
They're so. Desperate to try to find
something other than what the Bible says that they'll make up
anything it's not possible, they.
If they. If they.
Had died in the sea before the land lifted up, they wouldn't
have been fossilized. Doesn't happen over a long
period of time, so it. Happens very quickly.
Evolutionist also theorized that some fossils were made by layers
of volcanic ash. Volcanic ash doesn't make
fossils. We have a living laboratory that
that happened in 1980 that you can go back and look at that.
There's no fossils in the ash of Mount Saint Helens.
Ash covered large parts of the. Western United States billowing
in the. Sky the ash was.
Cleaned up with these tractors covered everything 12 miles from
the mountain. Man blowing the ash.
Off of his car. It killed some people and many
animals that it didn't produce fossils let me give.
You this as we close. All right, I'm going to skip.
Ahead just a little bit. Again get you to this point, so
the summary. Of the fossil records.
Witness against evolution. Those are the five points that
you have their number one. Far from providing evidence for
the evolution of life, the fossil.
Record disproves. Evolution and we've looked at a
lot of different things that we can point to.
That shows that the fossil. Record not only does not prove
evolution, it disproves evolution. #2 the fossil.
Record does not contain the countless transitional creatures
that evolution requires. Not only they're not countless
transitional creatures, there are none in the fossil record.
#3 the fossil record. Shows creatures appearing
suddenly, fully formed. We just kind of covered that
again in our in our review. #4 the fossil record.
Demonstrates complexity from its.
Earliest layers. And #5 the fossil.
Record exhibits stability of species.
Rather than change and that's, you know, honestly, that's a
that's a wonderful thing that. Proves God's word if there.
Was a lot of change and we could see inter inter kind changing,
you know, 1/2 cat and a half dog.
Then you could say, all right, we don't see.
It today but but there's. Evidence of it.
And we have to say that evolution is a possibility even
if we don't believe it, right? But there's none of that.
There's none of that. And that's why I say it takes
more faith. It takes more faith to be an
evolutionist than it does to be a creationist.
It makes way more sense to me to say that God created everything
than it does to say there was this giant explosion and
everything happened and fossils that are not formed over
millions of years because that's not how anything happens on our
earth today was formed over millions of years and the
strata. Are all in different?
Places and the and the and the fossils are all in different,
you know, jumbled together and in the wrong spots and
everything else. It takes a lot of.
Faith to believe that because there's no.
Evidence to prove it right we have a lot of evidence to prove
that there was a. Global flood.
And I'm thankful that we have it, but I don't need it.
We have all the. Evidence we need in God's Word.
This is what God said. Happened.
All we have to do is believe it. But the fossil record is a
great, great, great. Evidence not just against
evolution, but in favor of creation.
If you learn these things, it'll help you to be able to defend.
What you believe about the? Creation what you believe.
About the flood? What you believe About what?
The Bible. Says about how everything
happened and you can dispute what the evolutionists say about
let's pray father again we thank you that we have these things
that we can go back and look at that proves.
God's Word, I pray that you'd help us to.
Be able to stand strong in our faith and in the truth.
Of God's Word, I pray that you just give us a good.
Service here in the next hour. And again, we thank you for all
you do for us. In Jesus name, Amen.
