Evolution and Science (Part 2)

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.
