Evolutionists used to believe and teach that 180 parts of the human body were “vestigial”, or useless leftovers, from our supposed past evolution. We now realize that these are not unnecessary leftovers, but actually have very important functions. Included on that list were such crucial parts of our body such as the pituitary gland (the master gland of the body), and the thymus, etc. Even today, people still call the appendix and the tonsils leftovers from our...

Some rock layers contain fossils that are found out of the supposed evolutionary order, i.e. older fossils on top of younger fossils. This is usually explained by a concept called “overthrusting.” In this process, rock layers break up and one section is uplifted. Forces push the one layer containing the older fossils over the top of the younger layers. In some cases, there seems to be evidence of this, and at other times there is absolutely no evidence. But we...

Frequently, one colored geologic formation is tightly stacked upon another formation. If there were really millions of years of gradual deposition (as normally assumed), wouldn’t the water saturated with the chemicals responsible for the coloration have seeped into the formations below? This would result in unclear boundaries between formations, but we see razor sharp boundaries. Perhaps alternating currents during the time of the Flood quickly stacked one layer on...

Throughout the world, there is a sharp break between ancient rock and the sedimentary or volcanic material on top of it. This is called the “Great Unconformity.” In many places just above this break, large deposits of rock debris including very large boulders are found. It appears like a major water catastrophe planed off the existing landscape leaving the large boulders behind. This is considered by many Biblical geologists to represent the time of the initial...

Fossil Clams and Orthoceras Bedding Directions Some limestone layers found in Texas contain thousands of petrified clams. The clams are so tightly packed, they are touching each other. Clams don’t normally live nor die the way they are found. Most of the fossils are tightly closed. Since clam shells open when a clam dies, these clams were buried alive so quickly that they didn’t have a chance to dig their way out of the sediment. This mass mortality of clams...

Derek Ager wrote a book called the Nature of the Stratigraphic Record. The book talked about how rock layers are very widespread (in some cases trans-oceanic) and showed tremendous evidence of catastrophism. One eye-opening quote was, “The history of any one part of the world is like the life of a soldier. It consists of long periods of boredom and short periods of terror.” He said it was those short periods of terror that was responsible for the bulk of the...

Far out on the continental shelf below hundreds of feet of water are very large canyons. How did they get there? Perhaps the ocean level was much lower in the past allowing canyon carving offshore. This fits nicely with the Biblical Flood. During the Flood, the whole earth was covered by water. According to Psalm 104 (NAS), the mountains rose up and the valleys sank down. Water filled the oceanic trenches to a great depth lowering the global sea level. Other large bodies...

Just recently, a very prominent candidate for a link between fish and amphibians has swum away. The candidate was referred to as Tiktaalik. Evolutionists have been teaching that it is a prime example of a “missing link.” Articles referred to the front fin structures as “proto-legs” and the fin bones as “wrist bones.” This loaded and misleading language alone skewed the readers imagination toward a fish heading for the land. They thought it was settled until a fossil...

How do young earth, Flood geologists explain different age mountain ranges? ANSWER: Because of the violent nature of the Flood waters, mountains that existed before the Flood or that raised up during the early part of the Flood would have been planed off leaving what appears now to be an ancient mountain range. Those mountains rising during later stages of the Flood would have been greatly eroded, but not totally planed off. They would appear today to be mid-age mountains....

Boulders in Coal Layers It has been generally thought that multiple layers of coal found in the eastern US came as the result of trees rotting in swamps over millions of years. In the midst of some of the richest layers of coal, large boulders of totally different rock are also found. Boulders do not grow in swamps, so it seems the trees that formed the coal were ripped up and floated in from a great distance. Perhaps on high seas during the Flood, trees rubbed against each...
