Do you realize the fossil record alone disproves some of the critical parts of the bible?

Question

If any of you believers have actually done research rather than simply believing, then you would know that the fossil record and stratagraphy show that all living things have been shown to have died out at predictable periods in evolution. I could explain the whole thing, but it would take a while so look into it if you don't know what I mean. My point is that the fossil record, stratagrapy, and dating methods prove evolution and disprove the Great Flood. How do you explain this?

Answer 1

It's Magic!

Answer 2

Fossile records do not prove evolution. They do show that the earth has been here a very, very long time. 5 billion years or so?
I am a Christian, but I also know it didn't take 6 literal days to create the universe. It's more like 6 stages. The Bible says that a day unto God is as 1000 years to man. Basically that means a long damn time. So 6 long times....there ya go. Forever.
As far as the flood, just about every major religion or sect has a flood. There was one in Greek mythology, as well as in Native American tales. So, with so many people so far apart from one another writing about the same thing, it's almost foolish to say a flood never occured. However, in saying that, if only one group of people is right, then we should all look the same. If you believe the Bible's version, the we all should look Arab. Same as with the Greeks and Native Americans.
It has also been pointed out different sediment layers being out of date as far as the stacking of the dirt. They have found top layers older than those underneath them, with no evidence of earthen upheavals. Don't be so quick to disprove God and the Bible just on a few little things.
And evolution means change, not "come from a monkey". The Bible does say 'let the sea bring forth all living things'. That doesn't mean that we came from sea life either. It just means things changed, adapted. I have a feeling what you call evolution is developement without God. I believe God made all things. I think they call it "intelligent design".

Answer 3

It's true that the fossil record disproves many things stated in the bible. But then again, it's just a record stating what people think happened long ago. These guesses and assumptions have changed many times before, so i'm not too sure i really trust it. And by the way, the fossil record proves micro-evolution (which is much different that that micra or macro-evolution). I could also give plenty of scientific evidence that supports what the bible says. Look up on the studies of the scriptures or the missing link in evolution to fully understand what i'm saying. God bless.

Answer 4

I would like to point out 1 small thing - the "Great Flood" has evidence - a rather large amount in fact. The issue is it was not a world wide flood, but rather a rather unusal flood in the fertile cresent area.


Which indeed did happen, however, it would not have wiped away everything, only the region.

Being a fan of science and thus evolution until something disproves it, i agree the records do destroy some of the critical parts of the bible.

Answer 5

Haven't you heard of the Cambrian Explosion? Hardly any fossils before that and then all of a sudden a mountain of fossils of every kind of fully developed species. The Cambrian Explosion totally contradicts Darwin's Tree of Life, and typically Evolutionists who try to grasp onto their theory state that the before the Cambrian explosion fossilization was just much more challenging, but there are soft-bodied organisms in the Cambrian explosion, and also micro-fossils of bacteria in old rocks, thus showing how fossilization of even simple species was possible.

"Science and religion... are friends, not foes... Some people may find this surprising, for there's a feeling throughout our society that religious belief is outmoded, or downright impossible, in a scientific age. I don't agree. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that if people in this so-called "scientific age" knew a bit more about science than many of them actually do, they'd find it easier to share my view." Physicist John Polkinghorne

Answer 6

Actually, there were scientific records that dated (layer core samples), what was considered, the Great Flood. In fact, it hypothesized and concluded that the Great Flood, of the area studied (Dead Sea area), was due to an imbalance of salt. The info is out there if you look for it. There were a lot of floods throughout time, too. There are some that believe that don't discount science.

Answer 7

Indeed the time elapsed since the beginning of the universe can be reversed. Its amazing how the earth formed from planetary nebulae as the iron and other elements which constitute the planet were synthesized within stars. It isn't just biological evolution

Answer 8

Your fossil records prove nothing except that animals existed that do not exist now. Your strata data is totally circular in reasoning, and your dating methods are extremely inaccurate. Evolution does not have a leg to stand on. You can't prove anything.

Answer 9

Wow, you have really done some research.

I found this from 1989 in ONE reference work:

What view does the fossil record support?

Darwin acknowledged: “If numerous species . . . have really started into life at once, the fact would be fatal to the theory of evolution.” (The Origin of Species, New York, 1902, Part Two, p. 83) Does the evidence indicate that “numerous species” came into existence at the same time, or does it point to gradual development, as evolution holds?

Have sufficient fossils been found to draw a sound conclusion?

Smithsonian Institution scientist Porter Kier says: “There are a hundred million fossils, all catalogued and identified, in museums around the world.” (New Scientist, January 15, 1981, p. 129) A Guide to Earth History adds: “By the aid of fossils palaeontologists can now give us an excellent picture of the life of past ages.”—(New York, 1956), Richard Carrington, Mentor edition, p. 48.

What does the fossil record actually show?

The Bulletin of Chicago’s Field Museum of Natural History pointed out: “Darwin’s theory of [evolution] has always been closely linked to evidence from fossils, and probably most people assume that fossils provide a very important part of the general argument that is made in favor of darwinian interpretations of the history of life. Unfortunately, this is not strictly true. . . . the geologic record did not then and still does not yield a finely graduated chain of slow and progressive evolution.”—January 1979, Vol. 50, No. 1, pp. 22, 23.

A View of Life states: “Beginning at the base of the Cambrian period and extending for about 10 million years, all the major groups of skeletonized invertebrates made their first appearance in the most spectacular rise in diversity ever recorded on our planet.”—(California, 1981), Salvador E. Luria, Stephen Jay Gould, Sam Singer, p. 649.

Paleontologist Alfred Romer wrote: “Below this [Cambrian period], there are vast thicknesses of sediments in which the progenitors of the Cambrian forms would be expected. But we do not find them; these older beds are almost barren of evidence of life, and the general picture could reasonably be said to be consistent with the idea of a special creation at the beginning of Cambrian times.”—Natural History, October 1959, p. 467.

Zoologist Harold Coffin states: “If progressive evolution from simple to complex is correct, the ancestors of these full-blown living creatures in the Cambrian should be found; but they have not been found and scientists admit there is little prospect of their ever being found. On the basis of the facts alone, on the basis of what is actually found in the earth, the theory of a sudden creative act in which the major forms of life were established fits best.”—Liberty, September/October 1975, p. 12.

Carl Sagan, in his book Cosmos, candidly acknowledged: “The fossil evidence could be consistent with the idea of a Great Designer.”—(New York, 1980), p. 29.

Answer 10

There's not enough water in the atmosphere to flood the earth. And theres not enough water in the springs either, And it couldn't have come from a meteor either, because it's impact would have fried everyone, including Noah.

Answer 11

Plenty of evidence AGAINST EVOLUTION:.
First, the 'Cambrian explosion'; the millions of fossil types in Cambrian rock (oldest fossil bearing rocks) appear suddenly and fully formed and without any previous forms...IOW, there are no transitional forms.

Most well educated evolutionists when forced to ...will admit it, but very unwillingly, and even then they always want to seem to make new excuses for it. Usually they just don't say anything about it and hope noone finds out.

The thing to remember is that evolution is still just a theory - a hypothesis, a speculation, an umproven assumption.

"From the beginning of the Creation God made them male and female..."-- Jesus (Mk. 10:6)

Scripture says God SPOKE all things into existence with His Word:

" By the Word of the Lord were the heavens created, and all the host by the breath of His mouth. For HE SPAKE AND IT WAS DONE; HE COMMANDED AND IT STOOD FAST". (psalm 33:9)
