We see evidence of
the Great Flood all around us. We run our civilization on petroleum products
that resulted from a tremendous biomass being crushed under great pressure.
Fossil fuels are just that. We find fossils of creatures that have modern
representatives and creatures that are extinct as fossils. A fossil doesn’t
occur when something just falls out on the ground, is eaten, rots, decays, and
disappears. A fossil occurs when a creature dies in a sudden cataclysm and is
preserved in rock by great pressure. Scientists will use terminology like a
fossil is formed when a plant or animal dies in a watery environment and is
covered with mud or silt or they will just say they were buried quickly. But,
this is explained very readily by the Flood of Noah given to us in the Bible, a
primary source with God relaying what happened to Moses, who wrote it down.
Evidence of the
flood includes fossils of trees that extend through many geological strata or
levels so that they are called polystrate fossils as in Yellowstone Park with
fossil trees formed by rapid sedimentation and violent volcanic action. What
modern scientists say are geological strata laid down over long ages were laid
down rather quickly during the Flood, an example of which we saw in Mount Saint
Helens’ eruption. Another evidence is that fossils often are found in strata
that is reversed or lacking in continuity. In other words, the supposedly older
strata are over the younger.
But if you trusted
the Bible you wouldn’t need this proof. Still, it is out there as the most
reasonable explanation of the conditions of the earth in which we live, if you
believe God. The evidence, the facts, don’t change but the interpretation of
the evidence does as the conclusions of modern theoretical science are based on
ideology and the way they view the world, not incontrovertible truth.
Think of the logic
of it for a moment. Modern scientific theories fall under the uncertainty that,
“To be accepted as a paradigm, a theory must seem better than its competitors,
but it need not, and in fact never does, explain all the facts with which it
can be confronted.”[1] For example, “Copernicus’ more elaborate
proposal [a sun centered solar system] was neither simpler nor more accurate
than Ptolemy’s [a fixed earth as the center].”[2] The truth is simply that, “We now know that
the difference between a heliocentric theory and a geocentric theory is one of
relative motion only, and that such a difference has no physical significance.”[3]
And yet,
Christians have, for the most part, bought into modern scientific theory and
denied the Bible’s literal statements where it is convenient to do so. When a
scientist makes a declaration that appears to attack some point of the Bible,
like the great catastrophe of the Flood, consider what they are saying, why,
and how. The theoretical scientist of today is not a prophet getting a
revelation from God. He is a modern priest only receiving a revelation from his
own reasoning ability which God points out in His word is damaged and
unresponsive to the truth of God.
