Summary of Evidence for a Worldwide Flood
In this video, Richard refers to an article by Dr. Terry Mortenson which summarises evidence for a recent worldwide flood, rather than a long earth history. The evidence can be divided into two broad areas:
- Fossils – Fossilisation can only be the result of rapid burial. Added to this, we have the evidence of soft tissue which cannot last more than a few thousand years, and also the fact that we see fossils crossing the boundaries between rock layers that are supposedly millions of years apart in age.
- Rock Layers – The absence of erosion between layers of sedimentary rock, and also the fact that the layers bend smoothly without cracks, both point to the flood as the most likely cause for their formation. Also the presence of similar layer patterns across continents points to a worldwide flood rather than a localised one.
