“as if to suggest that the whales all died at once, possibly during some cataclysmic tragedy”, Like a Worldwide FLOOD!
Yes, this finding is consistent with the biblical account of a global flood.
“as if to suggest that the whales all died at once, possibly during some cataclysmic tragedy, Like a Worldwide FLOOD!”
There seems to be a small, logical hole in your premise.
You are suggesting what? That 40 days of rain would kill whales who live in the ocean?
so whales engaged in mass strandings back then, too. reckon that means that the mass strandings we see nowadays might not have that much to do with human activity....
NO! Couldn't be!
Don't worry, some anti-creationist will come up with some "rescuing device" like the "Oort cloud" to explain how this could happen without validating a biblical historical account.
Yes. We all know that whales can’t swim.
Twixt 2 to 7 million years ago, there would have been few to zero human beings around to in any way interpret such a thing. More likely the Great Flood stories are tied to the opening of the Black Sea some 7,000 to 8,000 years ago.
What is geologically interesting is that this Chilean event demonstrates a remarkable rate of uplift along the Andes cordillera.
Praise God....
Or GLOBAL WARMING!
Whales die wholesale: Fact of nature. Just because we don't know a mundane reason, doesn't mean we have to clutch at fantastic ones.
Exactly!
3/4ths of the earths’ surface covered by water. 75-80% of dry land covered with sedimentary rock. Fossil deposits testifying to massive sudden death. The facts are in accord with what is written in the Book of Genesis, and will remain so despite every effort of man to hide his face from God.

A massive worldwide flood was my first thought as well; I noticed others had the same reaction.
