Rock Layers Folded, Not Fractured
Flood Evidence Number Six
by Andrew A. Snelling
March 15, 2009
How could a series of sedimentary layers fold without fracturing? The only way is for all the sedimentary layers to be laid down in rapid succession and then be folded while still soft and pliable.
If the global Flood, as described in Genesis 7–8, really occurred, what evidence would we expect to find? Wouldn’t we expect to find rock layers all over the earth that are filled with billions of dead animals and plants that were rapidly buried and fossilized in sand, mud, and lime? Yes, and that’s exactly what we find...

Thanks for the ping!
DNA is there to prevent evolution - placemarker.
[[Like I said I’m not arguing the religion, just pointing out that the rock bending argument doesn’t support the theory of rapid sedimentation.]]
Actually it DOES support it- could htere be OTHER explanations as well? Sure- however there would need to be evdience to back up another scenario- do we have htose evidences? Or do the evidences we have more uspport world flood? Are the evidences just anectdotal? Or are they worldwide evidneces that seem ot have occured at the same time?- We can’t say that because folding has a couple of explanation probabilities that one is ruled out or another isn’t possible unless there is a perponerance of evidences for one or hte other hypothesis to establish a beyond reasonable doubt case.
no, we dont find all fossils in complete order
there are many cases of fossils found in mixed and even an order reversed according to evolutionary theory
Most of the 70,000 did not make it beyond 50,000 earth years.
Curiously, of the ones that died, it seems that in nearly every case, of the fish that were killed, all the fish of that species were killed, and we find very few fossils of species of fish that still survive today.
Whatever you’re smoking, I wouldn’t show it to the neighbors.
Are you honestly postulating that the rapid currents and deposition involved in a GLOBAL FLOOD would not rapidly bury and fossilize any aquatic animals?
That definitely seems to be their m.o.
That makes no sense at all. The flood waters were intensely hot, and very little could have survived.
Who cares? There was either a flood or there wasn’t. The world formed naturally or God made it, life was created or started spontaneously. Whether or not any of these things are true, no matter which side you take,right now those of us in the US need to think about Bozo and how to get him out of office,peacefully of course, before the next several years have passed. If we don’t you won’t have to worry about religious texts, theories or facts because religion, except for perhaps Islam, will be gone in the US, along with many other freedoms, particularly the freedom to express ones self or to defend ones self. Get with it and stop worrying about stuff that doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter because if someone doesn’t believe the flood took place that doesn’t mean it didn’t. Follow your faith and let other people alone about it and concentrate on the terrible threats we face now in our own country.
How did the fish and other sea animals survive? Were there whales on the arc? If there were, how did Noah get them there?
Have you had to jump?
You seem to have lost your place.
Barney Frank has his entire eternity invested in the lie that their is no God, no Creator, no right, no wrong.
There is no debate. Our freedoms in the U.S.A. come from God, not government, not Barney, not Obama.
Do you lose your place by asking the wrong questions?
It's pretty remarkable that evolution managed to mimic the overall order of fossils that we would expect from a global flood. After all, if evolution had started with aerial life first and then worked its way down to deep ocean life and this was reflected in the fossil record, the global flood hypothesis would be clearly incompatible. Instead we see a general order to the fossils that matches the Flood order, from deep ocean life to shallow ocean life to the antediluvian floating forest ecosystem to continental margins life and up into the highlands.
Floods are energetic events, but so long as there is still a lot of energy present in the floodwaters the things carried in the water will not be deposited. Only as the energy levels diminish will things be deposited. Thus your notion that a flood would jumble things up is precisely wrong. In some cases this would occur (as when waves strike against a cliff) but in general an orderly pattern would develop as energy levels gradually diminished and sedimentary loads dropped out.
The effects of these glacial outburst floods are quite different from the erosion caused by the movement (and eventual gradual retreat) of glaciers. You've described some of those effects. You could also mention eskers and fjords. The effects of an outburst flood are like the aftermath of the bursting of a man-made dam.
==Who cares?
Obviously, we do.
i care... where i stand on this issue determines much about my worldview...
