Darwin’s Theory of Evolution greatly depends on “the fossil record”, using the following assumptions:
1 The deeper that rocks are found within the “geological column” the older those rocks must be. 2 Therefore fossils found in those deeper rocks must be older than fossils found in the supposedly younger rocks found higher up.
So far, so good. Then the Big Daddy Of All Assumptions is made! – the assumption that the time-span between the formation of the deep rocks and the higher rocks has been millions of years. If this is correct, Mr Darwin gets the vast length of time that he needs for his process of random evolution to occur.
One slight problem though! – the recent, massive global Flood of Genesis Chapters 6 – 8, the historicity of which was widely accepted by scientific enquirers until around 1800 A.D, on both scriptural and scientific grounds.
If that Flood happened as described, and the evidence all around us shouts that it did, then the rocks and the fossils within them must have been laid down very, very rapidly in a matter of months. In that case, crucially, it means that all the now-fossilised fauna and flora had been living on the earth at the same time.
The Genesis Flood means “Good bye” to the assumption of millions of years, and “Good bye” to the assumption that the fossil record demonstrates Darwinian evolution.
