creationists and the flood?

Question

is there this great layer of fossilized creatures and humans that your "scientists" discovered to prove there was a great flood? it should be pretty close to the surface too because it happened relatively "recently"

oh brother

i must rephrase the question... i know there are tons of legitimate fossils but... if the flood were the noah flood was true, we should find a layer of fossils that is like "THE FOSSIL LAYER" where there is a large concentration of animals and humans TOGETHER.

Answer 1

ah ha , so you never have studied creationist beliefs, you just bash them...

Answer 2

Hi Darin. Many fossils are found in several or even all the layers. And only the "index fossil" evo-idea ... is a way they date the layers using the creatures.
But hey, there are no brachiopod fossils above the Permian layer (evo-date 250Mya). But ... they live in the sea today.
There are no coelacanth fossils "younger" than 90Mya.
But ... they live today in the Indian Ocean. If brachiopod clams and coelacanth fish have been around all this time ... then why do we only find "deep" fossils of them, and none near the surface??
Because ... they lived in deep places at the time of the Flood, so ... they were buried in deep places. If you world would flood today, what would be at the bottom of the stack of sediments? Bacteria live in the deepest-sea muds. And they are also in every single other layer. Next higher would be fish in the water, then amphibians between, then reptiles and all higher up -- which is just what we do see ... in the fossil record of the Flood of Noah.

Answer 3

Many ancient flood stories share similarities to the one above:

Hebrew: Noah's Ark
Egyptian Naunet
Hindu: Manu
China: Nuwa
Sumerian: Ziusudra
Babylonian: Atra-Hasis, Utnapishtim, Xisuthrus
Greek: Deucalion
Toltec toptlipetlocali
Islam: Tofan Noah طوفان نوح

Some geologists believe that quite dramatic, greater than normal flooding of rivers in the distant past might have influenced the myths. One of the latest, and quite controversial, theories of this type is the Ryan-Pitman Theory, which argues for a catastrophic deluge about 5600 BC from the Mediterranean Sea into the Black Sea. Many other prehistoric geologic events, including tsunamis, have also been advanced as possible foundations for these myths. For example, some have asserted that the original versions of the Greek myth of Deukalion's flood likely originated from the effects of the megatsunami created by the eruption of Thera in the 18th-15th century BC.[5] More speculatively, some have suggested that flood myths could have arisen from folk stories of the huge rise in sea levels that accompanied the end of the last Ice Age some 10,000 years ago, passed down the generations as an oral history. Another controversial theory is that a deluge was caused by one or more asteroid impacts which released a large amount of water vapor into the atmosphere and low space. See Tollmann's hypothetical bolide.

Recently, perhaps starting with the publication of The First Fossil Hunters by Adrienne Mayor, followed by Fossil Legends of the First Americans, the hypothesis that flood stories have been inspired by ancient observations of fossil seashells and fish inland and on mountains has gained ground. Indeed, there is much documentary evidence to support this view, as the Greeks, Egyptians, Romans, Chinese, and Japanese all commented in ancient writings about seashells and/or impressions of fish that they found inland and/or in the mountains. The Greeks theorized that the earth had been covered by water several times, and noted the seashells and fish fossils that they found on mountain tops as the evidence for this belief. Native Americans also expressed this belief to early Europeans, though they had not written these idea down previously.

Answer 4

THE FLOOD

Noah was born year 1056, Gen.7:6; age 600 at flood is year 1656 at flood. At 4,417 years ago, and what about the frozen parts of the earth?
I had heard on one program, things changed so fast they thought the crust of the earth shifted, so was that real?
The time I give here has nothing to do with age of the earth.

Answer 5

Yes. What is lacking in nature is the layered strata shown in all books that teach evolution where the "primitive" fossils appear in the lower strata and the "advanced" fossils appear in higher strata. This has never actually been discovered in nature.

Answer 6

time to read a book and learn. anyone who deny's that fossils exist has no clue what science has proven, not just creationist, but evolutionist too. you cannot deny fossils anymore than you can deny dinosaurs. the proof is there.

Answer 7

Yes indeed. Even on mountain tops.
