Paleontology

Today let’s talk about Paleontology -- a special branch of Geology dealing with findings of petrified animals or plants called fossils. As of today, scientists in this field have failed to find evidence proving the theory of evolution and disproving the Bible! Not even one statement of the Bible requires correction on the basis of discoveries. On the contrary, numerous proofs have verified the statements in God’s Word, and quite a few scientists have even become believers due to those facts – hallelujah!

Concerning Paleontology / Geology: Did you ever marvel about dinosaurs and mammoths? They definitely existed because skeletal evidence is proof! Do you wonder why we are finding petrified skeletons at all?! Do not believe the evolution based fantasy data found in those many books! Usually animals or plants die or rot respectively, decompose, or get eaten by scavengers. So, why do we find fossils, because they can not remain for millions of years to become petrified?!
All the locations of fossil finds bear witness of mass graves due to hazardous events. Those events must have taken place under rapid and total airtight conditions to avoid decomposition and start the fossilizing process! Books describe numerous examples of geological layers containing billions of finds. Some animals were buried while still eating -- another proof of rapid burial! The only process that can describe this cataclysmic mass destruction is the Flood (see Genesis chapter 7), which carried sediments in massive enough amounts to even bury animals the size of dinosaurs and mammoths.

Flawed methods

Ok, let’s start at the beginning: evolution needs the accident and tremendous time frames, and then after billions of years all existing life came out of the primordial cell. Evolution accords specific layers of earth to the age of the specific life forms fossilized therein. Those layers and the fossils therein are used to determine age. The methods use the so-called “geological time table” and the “method of the Index Fossils.” In accordance with this method biologists and geologists have devised the so-called genealogical tree, which allegedly comprehends how all living creatures developed out of each other.

The evolutionary flaws in these mentioned methods are as follows:
1. Evolutionists interpret the different strata in a way that requires fossil finds of the most primitive animals to be in the eldest layers, and the younger layers contain only higher developed animals. But evolutionists determine layers by the fossil finds and afterwards determine the fossils’ age by the before determined layer! The reasoning is circular, i.e., they use Darwinism to prove Darwinism! One might assume that today the age of certain strata is determined by radioactive decay. But evolutionists determine the layer only by the fossils and afterwards the fossils by the layer; hence the geological location of a layer means nothing, the therein found fossils mean everything! That is, the flawed evolutionary doctrine alone determines the age of geological formations! And if evolutionists ever get contradicting results by the method of radioactive decay, then the measured results will be rejected, but never will they call the method of index fossils into question!

2. One of the most irritating evidence for younger fossils are the facts that in some mammoth bones found in Florida, only one percent of the bones were fossilized, indicating those bones are 3000-4000 years of age only (Flood!!)!

3. According to the geological time table, the eldest strata is connected to the so-called Cambrian Age (600-500 million years ago). Before the Cambrian Age no fossils are found in the earth layers, indicating there was no life on earth before! But within the Cambrian layer are found numerous highly organized life forms, and only very few one cell fossils. The appearance of higher organized life forms is sudden and in complete status; corals are complete corals, worms have been complete worms, and all mollusks have been complete mollusks! And even if they find higher organized life forms in so-called younger layers, still does not mean that this is a proof of higher development, because every development would demand uncountable transition forms, the today so-called “missing links”! And those were never found, not even one!

Professor N. Heribert-Nilsson (Lund University, Sweden) states: “The fossil materials is now so complete that the lack of transitional series cannot be explained by the scarcity of the material. The deficiencies are real, they will never be filled!” So, to assume that theory of evolution is proven by fossil finds is nothing but a lie!! Again: a lie!!

The required evolutionary proof of numerous transition forms in development does not exist – not one transition form exists!!

The description according to God’s Word says that all creatures were created in their kinds (Genesis 1:21-25), and this is exactly what scientists find by the fossils: they were all buried during the flood, the abrupt funeral made the mineralizing process possible, and that’s exactly how the fossils are found. They begin abruptly within the strata and in all advanced forms; there are no transition forms at all!

Well, there would be still a lot of facts to mention to this, and I still encourage you to read more facts about this in books.

But it is again to be emphasized that evolution is not proven, not even by the fossil finds! But all findings are a big proof for God’s Word – hallelujah!!
