Is Genesis History? Page #7

But that's not what you see.

Instead you see an explosion of life that is complex, full,

the ecosystem is integrated with each other.

You can see where all the different bodies fit each other.

And that's only the first time that happens.

Each time you gain a level in the geologic column,

in the fossil record, you start to see screenshots ...

... more and more ecosystems.

You have an ecosystem is destroyed and then have another.

Has slightly different creatures, there are interactions.

And as the floodwaters rise and rise ...

... They are coming closer and closer to the coast ...

... destroying more and more organisms in the coastline ...

... and eventually on Earth.

I think I see what you're saying ...

And is that the paradigm that all teach us,

this conventional paradigm is trying to tell us ...

... that the fossil record is an evolutionary picture of life ...

... as is being developed in the opposite way to the paradigm of Genesis ...

... he is saying no, all that life,

the complexity of life was already there ...

... and we are now seeing the cemetery of all that life.

Exactly.

Well, what other data ...

... you can see that you are convinced this paradigm?

Well, very curious situation with the fossil record ...

... vertically thinking about these things ...

... are not the rigid parts of the animal, but the set of footprints.

They are the footprints.

There is a pattern we see in several different groups ...

... where the tracks are first and bodies are later.

For trilobites, amphibians, for dinosaurs,

the first time they encounter evidence in the fossil record ...

... it is of his footprints, not the rigid parts.

From the perspective of old Earth that's very strange ...

... and difficult to sustain because you have millions of years ...

... between production set of footprints and animal he made them.

But that obviously does not make much sense ...

... because if there are footprints, there are animals,

and these animals have bones and teeth, and shells on them.

Why they are not fossilized?

Instead, the pattern is telling us something different.

No time between when someone leaves a trail ...

... and when someone is buried.

But the fact that these sets of footprints are still there,

That should tell us something too, right?

First, it tells us that the deposit ...

... or the positioning of the next layer above ...

... it must have happened very, very quickly because, again, you go to a beach,

and you walk in the sand, your fingerprints are destroyed very, very fast.

But the fossil record is showing us ...

... something very different from the present.

This is death at a time.

This is death in an instant.

And we're talking about a world that was ...

... complex, comprehensive, integrated ...

... and the Flood is destroying the world sequentially ...

... and burying vertically.

So I think looking at the fossil record ...

... as a record of life is partially correct ...

... but not about the development of life.

It is about the attempt of life to survive an event ...

... that ultimately he consumed completely.

Well, that would make sense then ...

... because when God spoke ...

... to destroy the Earth with the flood,

was not only the destruction of human life,

It was the destruction of all life.

And now the world in which we live is, as you said,

radically different than it was before.

Yes.

When we look at the T-Rex, when we look at Mosasaur,

When we look at all these animals like wild carnivores,

and they really are ... I mean, they are terrifying ...

... but that's not what we were created to be.

So those sharp teeth, claws such devastating ...

... and behaviors that accompany them,

everything seems to be part of the curse, and part of that is genetic.

Part of it could also be some modifications.

But these agencies, by the time we see them,

and it is important to remember this ...

... when you come to a Museum of Natural History,

you're not seeing the world in the creation week.

You're seeing the world as it existed in the Flood,

and that was a world full of violence,

and it was a really terrible place to live.

I realized that the thousands of millions of creatures ...

... buried in these layers are silent testimony ...

... the overall judgment of God.

I decided I wanted to see ...

... one of those layers of fossils with my own eyes.

If dinosaurs died suddenly in the Flood,

Would not it be obvious?

What we are dealing with here,

This is the Lance Formation,

is an Upper Cretaceous sedimentary deposit.

And what we have here is what is called a deposit of bones.

A bone accumulation having about one meter thick,

less than a meter,

and in this meter bones are present,

as a stratum graduate with small up bones ...

... and the larger bones in the background.

And here you can see that Erline is ...

... working with other vertebrate.

This is a cervical vertebra of a duckbill dinosaur.

This is where the spinal cord is.

When I see these bones in the quarry,

often I imagine being inside the live animal ...

... and I imagine what it would be ...

... seeing these bones for the first time.

So this is full of bones, and it's not like ...

... we have to go find where the bones are.

We just have to sit down and start digging.

What is the main difference between sites ...

... you're digging here and, say,

general dinosaur excavation somewhere?

Well, the dinosaurs are found throughout the world,

but this particular site is unique because it probably ...

... it is one of the largest collections of bones worldwide.

And here are the remains ...

... of, I would say, between 5,000 and 10,000 animals ...

... every 20-40 feet in this tank.

These are large animals, and there are many of them.

Let's stop for a second.

Okay, then we have a duckbill dinosaur wandering ...

... the Earth, and suddenly dies.

Would he become a fossil?

Fossilization requires very special circumstances.

Normally we know that, for example, if a coyote dies in the desert,

your body quickly disappears.

And yet these bones are perfectly preserved.

They have never been exposed to the weather.

They are all there.

Today it would be hard to imagine how you could get this.

To some extent we could really say ...

... to find a fossil is rare.

Although we have many, many fossils ...

... in terms of things that die,

It is uncommon to become fossils.

It's not Common.

It requires special circumstances,

one of which is the rapid burial.

These animals had to be killed and then their bodies ...

... needed time to decompose.

So we're talking about days or weeks or months ...

... where the bones and tissues ...

... or were eaten or decomposed ...

... and then the bones were deposited instantly ...

... in this environment because they are in a graded layer ...

... down with big bones and small bones up.

And you can see this here.

Large bones are way down ...
