Just Google up “fossil graveyard”.

Animals could only be buried together en masse and fossilized simultaneously if they were buried in mud in a global flood.

If this is such compelling evidence, why is it not accepted by science?

Perhaps its because fossils are generally not formed in solid rock in 4350 years--at that time period you are dealing with soils. And what age do those “fossil graveyards” date to? Millions of years? Perhaps science does not accept the “fossil graveyard” because there are better explanations.

A counter question:

If there was a global flood about 4350 years ago, why does it not show up in archaeological sites and sediment deposits worldwide?

Why are there continuities of culture, DNA, and fauna and flora from before, during, and after this date?

Why did not the Egyptians record this flood? Why were there still Egyptians?!!!

It sounds like you are coming from the same philosophy as CottShop: its in the bible, so it must be true. Scientists are just a bunch of atheists, so what do they know about anything?

[[If there was a global flood about 4350 years ago, why does it not show up in archaeological sites and sediment deposits worldwide?]] It doesn't show up? According to whom? http://www.answersingenesis.org/tj/v11/i2/nature.asp "Mt. St. Helens laid down 7.6 metres (25 feet) of finely laminated sediments in a few hours." "If this was the true scenario, then those climate effects would be almost global, and there would be similar climate and dust anomalies elsewhere on Earth corresponding to the same historical time frame. There is just such evidence found in the ice cores extracted from Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa and across the Atlantic in the Huascaran glacier, which is high in the Peruvian Andes of the southern hemisphere." http://www.kjvbible.org/greenland_ice_sheet.html [[Why are there still egyptians?]] Repopulation "The drought conditions, which would have followed the flood because much of the Earth's vegetation had perished, leaving little or nothing with living root systems to hold the soil down, would be predictable. The settlements would have remained abandoned for many years until the descendants of Noah's family multiplied and began to spread out across the Earth." [[If this is such compelling evidence, why is it not accepted by science?]] Gosh- I dunno

You’re right. Even a hundred years is way too much. Please see http://www.bible.ca/tracks/rapid-fossils-rapid-petrifaction.htm

>Why did not the Egyptians record this flood? Why were there
>still Egyptians?!!!

Bible Chronology:

Adam+Eve THEN Noah THEN Abraham+Isaac+Jacob THEN Moses+Egyptians. The flood came before the Egyptians.

>its in the bible, so it must be true.

Yes. Also the Bible says what happens thousands of years before it happens. Please see http://www.direct.ca/trinity/y3nf.html

This is the signature of God.

Have a great day Coyoteman of the other thread. See you downthread.
