Continental Erosion – Evidence for the Flood
In this video, Richard refers to an article by Michael Oard, which looks at evidence for the massive movement of sediment that would have occurred during the runoff in the second half of the Flood. Some points to note:
- Surface Coal – A massive amount of pressure above is required to cause coal to form, so where we see surface coal, rock layers above must have moved in a big way.
- Rock pillars – These cannot be millions of years old, as they would have completely eroded away within that timeframe. Also there must have been material around them which has been removed to leave the existing formations.
- Dome formations (see the post Harlech Dome), where large amounts of material at the top of the dome have obviously been removed.
In the second half of the Flood, when the waters receded into the ocean basins, large amounts of sediment would have been moved from land into the continental shelves around the edges of the oceans.
