Australian Mega Sequence Confirms the Bible

Australian Mega Sequence Confirms the Bible

A mega sequence is a term given to a set of layers of sedimentary rocks. We see the same pattern of mega sequences across all continents, with sandstone (heaviest) at the bottom, mudstone above it, and then limestone (lightest) at the top. The latest discovery to complete this picture was in the Australian continent. This global pattern of rock deposits is absolutely consistent with the idea of a recent global worldwide flood, far more so that with the idea of millions of years. Added to this, we have the matter of soft tissue in fossils within these mega sequences, yet again affirming that they are only thousands of years old, and hence defending the authenticity of the Bible.

The Genesis Flood

The Genesis Flood

In this video, Richard introduces an article by Tas Walker, which seeks to answer some of the common questions raised regarding Noah's flood. These include things like (1) "Could Noah build an ark that big?", (2) "How did all the animals fit in?" and (3) "Where did the water come from?". After this we are taken on to ask two much more fundamental questions:

1. Where is the evidence? There is certainly plenty of evidence, not least in that provided by fossils and rock layers.
2. Why did God flood the earth? He did so by way of judgement for sin, and just as Noah and his family were saved through the ark, we can also be saved from God's judgement by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Grand Canyon and a Worldwide Flood

Grand Canyon and a Worldwide Flood

In this video, Richard introduces a set of two articles, which respond to a previous publication that brought into question the validity of Flood geology. The articles respond by defending geological evidence for a worldwide flood, as seen in Grand Canyon and other places on the earth. Richard then goes on to summarise some of the main lines of evidence, defending the idea of a worldwide flood, namely:

1. The spread of similar rock layers across continents.
2. The way that large numbers of animals are buried/fossilised together, including the presence of land and sea creatures in the same place.
3. The lack of erosing between rock layers. More erosion would be expected if there were millions of years between the desposition of the various layers.
4. The fact that multiple rock layers bend together, which could have only occurred if they were wet together.

Harlech Dome – Evidence for a Flood

Harlech Dome - Evidence for a Flood

In this video and the associated PowerPoint slides, Richard talks about the Harlech Dome, a geological feature found in north Wales. Similar features exist in other hill ranges such as the North & South Downs in southern England. Some of the diagrams in the slides will give you an appreciation of what is being talked about. Basically, the orientation of the rock layers in the existing mountain/hill ranges strongly suggest that these form the base of a dome that was once there, but much of which has now disappeared. The question arises as to how this might have happened. It all fits in well with the model of a worldwide flood. The sedimentary rock layers that we see today would have been laid down in the first half of the Flood, with the top of the dome being washed away in the second half as the flood waters receded into the oceans.

Landscapes – Evidence for a Worldwide Flood

Landscapes - Evidence for a Worldwide Flood

In this video and a set of PowerPoint slides, Richard discusses evidence from the general topography of the world in support of the idea of a recent global worldwide flood. The two main phases of the Flood resulted in certain observed features as follows:

• The inundation stage, when the waters initially flooded the earth, would have resulted in the deposition of sedimentary rock layers, including the formation of fossils.
• The recessional stage, when the waters receded from land towards the ocean beds, would have resulted in the formation of the likes of valleys and canyons.

Greenland Ice Cores

Greenland Ice Cores - Evidence for the Flood

In this video, Richard introduces an atricle about research that has been carried out on ice cores in Greenland. As a result of drilling down into two cores only 28km apart, it has been found that the layers of sediment are very different between the two, which does not fit in with the idea of gradual deposition over a long period of time. The observation is far more consistent with the idea of a worldwide flood and the stormy conditions that would have prevailed in the subsequent period.

The Origin of Amber

The Origin of Amber

In this video, Richard introduces an atricle about the origin of amber. Many examples have been found in which insects and other small creatures have been trapped in their original forms inside stones of amber, and this creates a major problem for long age evolutionary theory. On the other hand, such formations can be well explained in terms of the Flood, during which trees will have been uprooted, with the trauma causing resin to seep out. Small creatures would have taken refuge in the log mats that formed on the surface of the flood waters, some getting trapped in the resin before it solidified to form amber as we know it.

Origin of Coal

Origin of Coal

In this video, Richard introduces an article about the formation of the upper (Cenozoic) layers of coal that are found extensively across the globe, and how this fits in well with the model of a global flood. Coal will have been created as a result of trees being uprooted by the movement of the flood waters, and forming into floating log mats which will then have been deposited into the earth as the oceans receded in the latter stages of the flood. This, like many other observed geological formations, is far better explained in terms of a recent worldwide flood than a long age earth history.

Changing Magnetic Fields

Changing magnetic fields - rapid or millions of years

In this video, Richard introduces an article by Russell Humphreys about the changes in the earth's magnetic field that can be deduced from variation in the way that various layers of sedimentary rock were layed down. Whilst attempts have been made to explain this is terms of a long age history of millions of years, a far easier explanation can be found in the way that the magnetic field would have changed very rapidly during the catastrophic events of the Flood.

More Evidence for Rapid Plate Tectonics

More Evidence for Rapid Plate Tectonics

A key model for explaining the Genesis Flood is concerned with Catastrophic Plate Tectonics, a mechanism by which the ocean beds sank rapidly into the earth's core, creating the massive discrepancy between the depth of the ocean basins and the height of the highest mountains on land. This video and article introduce us to results of modern research which fit well with the Biblical timeframe of history rather than a long age of millions of years.
