Is Genesis History? Page #6

Yes, if we are right about what we have understood so far,

we continents moving,

bumping into each other, creating mountains.

Towering mountains to reach tens of thousands of feet high.

You have water rinsing entire continents.

We are tearing tens of thousands of feet of sediment ...

... of the old continent and then depositing ...

... hundreds of feet of sediment over again.

It's ... We're seeing earthquakes ...

... amazing power.

So that changed what you call ...

... At the time of antediluvian to after the flood.

Basically, the Earth has to ...

... recover from the global Flood.

The atmosphere has to recover.

Geology, rocks, have to be recovered.

Plants and animals have to spread around the Earth.

Have plenty of water, huge earthquakes,

huge volcanoes.

And about that period of recovery it is a slow decline ...

... in the intensity and frequency of these things.

So it would be in this period in which we would see ...

... the Ice Age, for example?

Yes. Ironically, the Ice Age ...

... turns out to be, in our model,

a consequence of the heating of water during the flood.

The water is evaporating from the oceans.

That cools the ocean.

The water then moves over the continental crust ...

... leaving huge volumes of water fall.

Now in some places the rain will fall like snow ...

... but down so quickly and relentlessly ...

... that can not melt and collects ...

... sequences in thick ice until they reach the miles thick.

And then when the oceans have cooled enough ...

... generation system that rain has stopped,

then these glaciers collapse on its own weight,

melt at its current position,

and they continue melting.

This global warming is recovery.

Earth is still recovering from the flood.

So that was a pretty tumultuous era ...

... but then you have a final time.

Then the modern era, you can study the current processes ...

... and understand things pretty easily ...

... until after a couple of centuries the Flood.

So that could make someone think that these processes,

if you wear them all the way back ...

Precisely.

If you take the current processes and extend it to the past,

and that's what 2 Peter says.

That's the mistake that people.

It is reasonable.

Take this and spread it to the past.

It is not unreasonable.

So you have to go to the Bible ...

... to find the information needed to reconstruct it.

And, looking at it from the other side, if you start from the Bible,

just the beginning of the story.

God has given us the ability to read the rocks ...

... and fill the rest of the story,

and we need to fully understand the Flood.

We start with the Bible, but then go to the rocks.

Talk to the rocks and they will tell ...

... what has happened in the past.

Kurt had a point.

The Bible records historical events ...

... but it does not tell us how these events happened.

That's what these scientists were doing.

They were trying to interpret the evidence ...

... in the light of biblical history.

But Kurt said there was evidence within the rocks.

What was that evidence?

I love coming to the museums of natural history.

For me as a paleontologist, it is like the opportunity to go to a zoo.

They are all animals that lived before the Flood.

It is an opportunity to travel in time.

It's like a zoo, but they are not alive.

They're all dead.

And not stink, so that's very good.

And the Museum of Natural History ...

... not only he is telling us what was in there.

It is also trying to give us a narrative line.

And we have two possibilities, we have two paradigms ...

... between a naturalistic vision and a biblical view.

And all natural history museums in the country,

most of which there are around the world,

you only get one of those views,

They only give you a naturalistic way of seeing the world, an old Earth.

But the same data, this dinosaur is capable ...

... to be understood in an alternative paradigm.

So when I'm thinking about this kind of creatures ...

... I'm thinking of a world just before the Flood.

I mean, this is a real image of a violent world.

Yes.

This is why God said, behold, the end of all.

It was not just humanity.

Man and all the animals on which they were judged govern ...

... at the time of the Flood.

Well, Marcus, could you give us an overall picture ...

... fossil and how all this fits in with the other?

Yes.

Fossils tend to be in different layers ...

... where numbers are very, very large ...

... that they have been destroyed, thousands of millions anonymous.

So every time we see a layer of rock ...

... it's so thick, we're thinking about ...

... an event that probably took minutes to complete,

not thousands of years.

Minutes only for this unique package of rock,

sometimes even seconds.

Now, where these pulses Flood water are ...

... moving on continental crust, taking ecosystems,

or dragging up marine ecosystems from deep ocean ...

... and pushing them toward Earth, and while one is deposited ...

... the waves again, and they begin to push ...

... and stack additional things about it.

And it's cemetery on Cemetery on cemetery.

It's one thing to talk about catastrophe,

not a kind of thing where the fossil record ...

... gradually builds bone by bone, shell by shell,

slowly through countless eons of time.

So you're saying we have ...

... these marine fossils everywhere, even in the mountains.

Yes.

Further back in the Museum, they have sections ...

... with things like mosasaurs, some large reptiles swimmers.

Mosasaurs are distributed globally ...

... and are distributed across continents.

So you are seeing those things, you're saying ...

... what has the power,

what has the ability to make the marine world ...

... and throw him on the continents of so violent and destructive way.

And the Deluge fits perfectly here.

When we were in the Grand Canyon,

Great Dissatisfaction saw ...

... and there were no fossils actually below that ...

... and suddenly we started having many.

What does that tell you as paleontologists?

Well, the Great Dissatisfaction tells me ...

... that there is some kind of massive erosion ...

... and a course change is happening across the continent.

And then when we started to get those beautiful sedimentary rocks ...

... they have all the wonderful fossils in them,

patterns begin to emerge.

The ecosystem has the first animals on it ...

... it comes very suddenly.

In conventional Paleontology,

they call the Cambrian Explosion.

It is the first appearance of a wide variety ...

... different marine animals.

Suddenly you have this complex and complete ecosystem ...

... that basically comes out of nowhere.

This makes perfect sense ...

... from a perspective of Creation and the Flood ...

... because the Flood is destroying ecosystems,

while in the evolutionary view, these ecosystems have to ...

... a little more gradually emerge ...

... as organizations evolve and diversify ...

... and they meet each other in their environment.
