Fossils

For a theory to be correct, its predictions must come true—its expectations must turn out to be accurate. (Note, though, that this, alone, isn't enough to prove a theory.) But when a theory repeatedly makes predictions that turn out to be wildly at odds with reality, it shows that the theory is completely wrong, and should be dropped immediately. Which of these two categories does evolutionary theory (in all its many forms—cosmological, geological, biological, etc.) fall in? What about biblical creation? The answers to these questions will come as a surprise to many! Join plant biologist, Dr Don Batten, for a look at just some of the ways in which evolutionary theory has predicted the exact opposite of what reality would eventually reveal—while biblical creationist predictions have been shown to be remarkably accurate!

An anomalous ape fossil found in South America in rocks labelled Paleogene raises questions of how it got there.

With their shimmering rainbow colors, opals are a favorite gemstone of many. But are they really, as gem shops often claim, “millions of years in the making”? Or are they a reminder of a relatively recent global Flood, and the Creator’s rainbow promise? Join geologist, Dr Tas Walker, as he provides evidence that opals form rapidly—with colors even forming in a matter of minutes! Learn how all that is need is the right ingredients and conditions—both of which are provided by Noah's Flood, as recorded in the Bible!

Cryptozoology claims that living dinosaurs still exist but no claims have been verified so it is time to put this on the list of arguments we think a creationist should not use.

DNA has been detected in a duckbilled dinosaur fossil, undermining the traditional millions of years age for it.

Research on how fossils form shows that fossils can form quickly under the right conditions.

Besides making the ‘Cambrian Explosion’ problem worse for evolution, the exquisite detail suggests rapid burial.
