 CREATION
VS EVOLUTION PART II
The pre-Adamic catastrophe involved water, laid
down first by the swirling waters were the smaller sea creatures,
they appeared in the deepest and lowest sediment layers. The larger
creatures of the land were able to flee to higher hills. They were
not destroyed until the rising floodwaters spread over, then covered
the entire earth. Evolutionary geologists have discerned proof of
this pre-Adamic flood. The trilobites, and other shell creatures
of the sea were first swept up, later other sediment rocks with
land life were laid down on top of them. This is why fossils of
the sea creatures, such as the trilobites suddenly appeared as fossils
in the deepest and lowest sediment rocks.
Geologists have been taught to believe fossils were
laid down gradually over a very long period of time. They have also
been taught to believe these fossils evolved from some other simple
fossil forms. A worldwide flood can only lay down fossils on a worldwide
scale. It is obvious therefore that the fossil forms appeared suddenly
in the lower and deeper rocks because a pre-Adamic destruction buried
them first. Did these land plants and scorpions and shellfish evolve
over a long period of time from the trilobites? No! All the fossil
records prove that they died suddenly! If life evolved, why did
feathered wings appear in fossil life fully developed? Why haven't
we found fossil remains of transition stages between leather wings
of the flying reptiles and the feathered wings of birds? If life
did evolve slowly from the simple to the complex, then there would
have been a far greater number of intermediate states or varieties
than of the fixed species!
The raging floodwater which was but a part of this
pre-Adamic destruction rose higher and higher, engulfing the jungles
and lowlands. Plant remains often were washed into huge piles, covering
them with deep layer of mud. Today we know them as the coal beds.
Before coal can be formed, plant remains must not only be covered
quickly to prevent decay, but must be covered deep enough so that
the massive weight of millions of tons of sediment will transform
the carbon of these plants into coal. Now the dinosaurs were in
their heyday. The flying reptiles and pre-historic mammals were
upon the earth before man. As the floodwaters reached the higher
hills, the dinosaurs were rapidly exterminated and buried, and became
fossils. These reptiles completely dominated life on the earth;
but life came to a close with a sudden destruction, the great war
in heaven, when satan and his angels were cast down to earth, only
satan could bring chaos and darkness upon the earth.
Because the Bible doesn't tell us, we do not know
how long the earth remained a paradise, or how long the water covered
the earth. The world is certainly old, but God would not have allowed
the desolation to remain long.
Just as in the pre-Adamic flood, Noah's flood also
buried the heavy shelled sea life first, then the smallest animals
that could not flee fast enough to escape the rising flood waters.
Finally, the raging waters in Noah's day engulfed the very biggest
and fastest animals that had fled to the top of the highest hills.
What the fossil record really proves is that the larger mammals
died last. Each occasion the floods revealed certain forms of life
only because life was destroyed and buried in a relative order.
The rocks revealed only the order in which life died in each of
the two worldwide destructions.
The Bible does reveal that almost 6,000 years ago
God re-created and re-fashioned the earth in a week of seven days.
He then placed Adam and Eve and the plants and animals of today
on this earth, and commanded them "to be fruitful, and multiply,
and "replenish"(to make full, or complete again), the
earth. Genesis 1:3-28.
