Fossils: evidence something happened quickly, not slowly.

Many people were taught that fossils are evidence of things happening slowly over millions of years. But they're not. On this week's episode, find out why standard evolutionary explanations for fossil formation don't work.

Making sense of ‘ape-man’ claims.

Most have seen the supposed 'ape-to-man' progression on a T-shirt, poster or elsewhere pushing the idea that humans evolved from 'ape-men' in the past. What are these supposed 'proto-human' fossils that scientist have found and how would Bible-believing creationists explain them?

Pollen problem for evolution

Pollen problem for evolution

Most people know that pollen can cause problems for those who suffer from hay fever. But did you know that pollen is also a major problem for the evolutionary interpretation of the fossil record? Since the 1960s, the scientific literature has reported the presence of pollen and spores within a rock layer called the Roraima Formation in South America. This formation is supposedly over 550 million years old, yet according to evolutionary theory, flowering plants that produce pollen didn't evolve for another 390 million years! So why do we find pollen in the fossil record so long before the first flowering plants appear? The simplest explanation is that the fossil record doesn't represent the evolution of life on this planet over eons of time, but is better explained as a consequence of the year-long global flood of Noah and its aftermath. This is recorded in the book of Genesis, chapters 6, 7, and 8.

Polish footprints cause Tiktaalik trouble

Polish footprints cause Tiktaalik trouble

Several years ago, the paleontological world heralded the discovery of a fossil called Tiktaalik roseae. Some scientists claimed it as a perfect missing link between fish and amphibians, and so it started appearing in school and university textbooks. However, the discovery of a series of footprints in Poland, made by a four-legged animal, has changed everything. That's because these foot prints were dated according to the same evolutionary ideas at 18 million years older than Tiktaalik. Therefore, from an evolutionary perspective, if four-legged animals existed before Tiktaalik, then Tiktaalik cannot be the transition between fish and four-legged land animals that it was claimed to be. Indeed, these footprints are so significant that they have prompted some scientists to say: "we thought we'd pinned down the origin of limbed tetrapods. We have to rethink the whole thing." Isn't it amazing how just a little bit of new evidence can completely undermine a neat evolutionary story?

Mass extinction points to Noah's Flood

Mass extinction points to Noah's Flood

Most people have heard about the meteorite that hit the earth and supposedly caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. Secular geologists refer to this as the K/T extinction, and they regard it as one of the most significant mass extinctions, according to their deep-time view of earth history. However, did you know that the secular geologists have identified seven other mass extinctions in the portion of the geological record that contains complex plant and animal life? This shows that scientists are increasingly recognising the catastrophic nature of the geologic record. This goes against old ideas of only slow-and-gradual processes being responsible for all the rocks and fossils. These new perspectives are much more in line with a Biblical view of earth history, whereby Noah’s flood wiped out all air-breathing land animals not on the Ark. No, there were not eight mass extinctions in earth history—but there certainly was one massive extinction event!

Upside down geological column

Upside down geological column

Did you know that part of the geological column is found upside-down in Pakistan? At the foot of the Karakorum Mountains, in the Salt Range Formation, scientists have discovered fossilized plants and insects. From an evolutionary perspective, these remains belong to the upper part of the geological column. However, this formation lies beneath Cambrian rocks, which are supposedly over 400 million years older. So why are the fossils of more complex life buried below fossils considered much more primitive? This is a vexing evolutionary problem. Discoveries such as these support the biblical version of earth history, whereby the geological column is primarily a consequence of the global flood and its aftermath. It is no surprise that there is some order in the fossil record, such as sea creatures buried beneath land creatures, and mobile creatures such as birds near the top. But, as the Salt Range Formation testifies, the ordered charts that adorn textbooks aren’t necessarily what we find in the field.
