Therefore they cannot have a global flood in the Therefore they cannot have a global flood in the record as many of the animals alive at that time record as many of the animals alive at that time would all be buried in sediment, accounting for what would all be buried in sediment, accounting for what would seem to be millions of years in the fossil would seem to be millions of years in the fossil record.record.

Their main argument is that the flood was not global, Their main argument is that the flood was not global, but local, and the writers of the bible didn’t know it but local, and the writers of the bible didn’t know it only stretched across their areaonly stretched across their area

If a World-Wide Flood were to occur, what Evidence would we expect to Find?

Fossil Record should be begin at the base with stationary marine life, then mobile sea creatures, amphibians, and finally land creature in roughly sorted, stratified layers of sediment.

What Evidence do we Find?This prediction from the creation model is an

accurate description of the actual evidence found in the Fossil Record.

In fact clams are quite literally found in every type of geological location on the earth and in nearly every layer of rock – exactly what you would expect from a world-wide floodThus, evolutionist place most of their belief on less than 5% of the fossil record
