Okay- this is a cut and past from an email I just wrote to someone asking about old-earth evidence versus Biblical Genesis evidence.
See what you guys think:
I hold the standard, Biblical model of a 6000 to 6500 year old earth.
The old earth model (millions of years) is based on the currently accepted “rock-strata layers indicate time.” However, the actual scientific evidence within those layers do not support that claim.
Go to your nearest open earth stripmine, or anywhere where you can see that rock strata lineation. Notice how uniform they are- and perfectly straight to the eye.
What do we not see between layers after the first layer (the top layer)? Yep- no erosion. Erosion would indicate that the layer in question was exposed at one time (indicating the truth of the proposed scientific model)
…yet, we don’t see that.
Also- look at that strata. What else do you notice? You see sedimentary lineation that also is consistent with specific gravity striation that occurs in a watery solution.
(Or- in shorthand- the “Viniagrette Bottle Effect”- where specific gravity places elements in a solution and settles them according to weight/density)
The layers we see were formed in a saturated, flood environment, and were laid down over a very short period of time in the after effects of a global, catastrophic flood.
(Which I would contend was the “Noah Flood”.)
Go to your local museum- and what is T-rex always found in? Buried in sandstone. Fossil formation- where the extreme pressure actually squeezes the minerals out of bone and forces in sedimentary material through immense pressure- is hard to duplicate. Scientists say it takes about 15- to 20 feet of depth of large scale sedimentary WET matter on top of given bone to cause this effect.
Then factor in huge a creature like T-rex is.
That’s a MONSTER flood. Beyond an imagineable scale.
Now look at what happened in Southeast Asia last Christmas? Despite the severity of the even- no fossils were seen to have formed (the flood receded quickly, and wasn’t even deep enough- or carrying enough sediment to cause buried matter to '“fossilize”)
Look at the giant- 10,000 mile plus long fissures in the earth where the tectonic plates meet in both the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific.
Because of the size of the plates involved, the large scale rupturing of the one in the atlantic would predicate a reaction in the pacific fissure. These are unimagineable fiissures- huge gashes in the face of the earth. Could you imagine when that happened? If a moderate earthquake hammered Indonesia with a tsunami, can you imaging these two big boys going off in tandem?
To witness such an event would be to re-define the very richter scale- if 8 or 9 would be considered a “big earthquake” - whatever caused these two monsters would have been estimated at many, many times that.
And we also know something else about these enormous fissures- something we owe to cold-war sub-hunts. Imaging of the ocean floor shows very little erosion of these fissures- and no sand on them.
When they went- they pushed everything away from them- including the sand (which would have been picked up at an unimagineable rate with the ensuing collossal tsunamis.)
…and the dinosaurs were universally buried in billions of tons of wet sand…
Of course- scripture doesn’t disagree with this evidence at all. But science so wants to disprove the existence of God, and call it all “chance”.
Did you know where we are seeing the most Christian conversion among scientists? Its in the field of genetics. It was quite a powerful witness to many of them to date the human genome at between 6000 to 6500 years, and the mitochondrial DNA showed all from “mother zero” .
The Bible names “mother zero”. We call her Eve. The mitochondrial DNA trace through genetics also showed that “mother zero” was as human as we are today.
(So a 100% human mother from which the whole race shows lineage… -estimated years ago- 6000 to 6500 WOW!)
