What is the Fossil Record? - Dr. Kurt Wise (Conf Lecture)

[@billperez1141]

TY Dr. Wise. I started my life out as one who didn't believe. Then I came to believe The Gospel of Jesus Christ BUT still tried to fit millions of yrs. into what Scripture taught & that did not work. At last about 25 yrs. ago I began to see that The Word of God is true just as it is written & things began to at last make sense. Now I see very clearly that nothing is impossible for GOD. In the eyes of the world I'm a fool. I can live w/that. I know that one day soon I will see w/my eyes The True and Living God & I will not be ashamed. HE is faithful to fulfill ALL of His Word.

[@aaronreimer1869]

So cool brother. Totally agree. Fascinating talk. Also, I agree about looking like a fool in the eyes of the world. It’s super encouraging to have some (there’s still more questions for me), but to have many really good answers for this stuff. While ultimately the reasons I believe are the resurrection + fulfilled prophecy. Encouraging testimony though brother I’m with you.

Nicole Hi. So, you saw two photos which you had difficulty understanding? If that happened to me, I'd first question my own lack of knowledge. Perhaps, I would say, there is a simple explanation that I have not come across. I'd go online and look before deciding what I believed to be true. However, you just "knew for sure right then", did you? Isn't that called confirmation bias? I happen to be an "average geologist" (retired) and I'd love to find out more about what I am avoiding "at all costs". Do provide some details. Thanks.

[@JLBorges2803]

You are talking about what people call “polystrate” fossils. Not avoided by geologist at all, they are found in areas where supped rapid deposition occurred often followed by breaks in deposition. Most of these trees were partially buried and could continued to live. The whale wasn’t cutting through strata at all it was found in thinly laminated strata showing slow deposition, this was then tilted by tectonic processes but not made vertical.

[@oldseer7610]

Why aren't there fossils of people, if there were people before the flood.

[@galasuffridge9308]

Humans were the last to drown with their survival skills thus they were not buried to the point of fossilization.

[@cdc3]

In listening to this presentation and thinking of the anaerobic decay involved with halting fossilization at great sediment depths, it has caused me to wonder if water temperature could have been involved in capturing and preserving specimens by killing off anaerobic bacteria as they were buried, leaving both fossil animals and fossil bacteria in one cataclysmic act. In other words, if the water temperature was high enough, might it not have created a sterile matrix in which all was buried and later mineralized? Heat would also have aided in the mineralization, I'd think. Such heat would be present, at least in local areas, with all of the seismic and volcanic activities during the rapid continental shifting of the flood. edit: Come to think about it, this would also have explanatory value for soft tissue fossils like jellyfish, them having been "cooked" into a more solid, stable form.

[@freemind..]

cdc3 - You are absolutely correct about the heat. Most actual geologists have no idea how to create a fossil. No millions of years required. Try to find an experiment where any geologist had replicated the fossilization process successfully in the lab. *Many have tried but NONE have succeeded.* It HAS been done... but not by geologists because the Rock Cycle has taught them that rocks form from magma.. they don't. WATER is the key ingredient missed by most, followed closely by high pressure. *The process REQUIRES super-saturated water, HIGH temperatures, and HIGH pressures.* To achieve quartz crystallization requires pressure created by literally 30,000 feet of water... and, YES, the Flood water really was that deep. Petrification is the exact same process. Most fossils are found very close to the surface rather than being buried extremely deep in the crust. However *burial is NOT a requirement for fossilization* at all. Every fossil you are likely to see came from the Global Flood, and they were fossilized mostly before or during burial by sediments. The petrified forests show that burial is not a prerequisite for lithification. *Now you know more about the true fossilization process than most people you will ever meet.*

[@johnycoho7830]

jock mcfrog Well a global flood would include ocean level rising not all in one day. This would bury ocean organisms first. Then slower moving land organisms, then fast moving land organisms. Meaning that insects would get buried before a T Rex would because a T Rex could move to higher ground much more quickly. Thus they would not usually be buried in lower rock layers. But footprints or other signs of fast moving land organisms would still be in the lower rock layers and that's exactly what we find. So logically speaking a the flood would explain all of the rules of the fossil record, but also the exceptions to the rules. Some faster moving land organisms would become trapped and not able to escape and thus some would be found in lower levels, which is also what we find. Also, ocean organisms would be carried onto the land and would be buried throughout almost the entire fossil record, which is also what we find.

[@diamondlife-gi7hg]

because the dinosaurs like t rex were already extinct young earth doesn't make sense but old earth creation does. humans would have bloated and floated and been consumed by sea creatures but t rex would already have been dead and buried so that's why they are not together. old earth creation and science work harmoniously but young earth doesn't. for creatures on the planet this is the sequence basically 1. sea creatures 2. flying creatures (pterosaur, mosquitoes etc.) hebrew oph. 3. land animals like t-rex. 4. humans. and this is what the bible sequence goes as well but modern translations say birds were created with sea creatures but in the original hebrew it would say "flying creatures". according to science birds were evolved from land animals dinosaurs.

But alas.

[@nicolaimanev]

If you have a crazy amount of water suddenly pour onto land it would leave a clear layer of random animal remnants where it would be no problem to see a rabbit near a T-Rex, or a T-Rex near a human. In no way would it remix all the sediments, sort by density and leave layers that we have. Why would it dig hundreds of meters into the rock? Besides, layers are not sorted by density and we still have huge amount of rock on the surface, why didn't it all sink? If today there's a mega flood caused by a tsunami or a glacial dam burst it does not resemble the flood you imagine in any way. Yes it's a lot of water but you're talking about some kind of nano-bot controlled super-oober water that dissolved all the sediments in itself, sorted the sediments and the fossils within them, somehow didn't crush a primitive boat with tens of thousands of organisms on it, created a canyon only in one place in the world, left the pyramids untouched, or didn't kill the egyptians so that they could go into their second dynasty period and construct the pyramids right after the flood (depending on what bible chronology you respect). There's just no way this works. Darwin ~150 years ago didn't have the technology and the support of so many indoctrinated proponents that creationists have today, yet he did a better job on writing his work on the origins of species. If you want to claim this "biblical science" a theory, please submit an actual work for peer review. Have a theory that is supported by actual evidence, testable and has explanatory and predictive power. You won't because even if you find a way to explain how certain things could have happened it will remain only a possibility without evidence that it did happen or with evidence that it didn't happen. Besides, there still are and will be pure impossibilities in the fable so you will never run away from "GODDIDIT".

young earth doesnt add up but if you have an old earth t rex would already be dead so no need to put him on the ark because he was already dead and buried and humans in the flood would bloat and float and be consumed by sea creatures. microevolution has been observed so we know its fact and it would explain how original kinds like a dog like bear ancestor gave rise to all the different bear species we have today. but if you believe in a young earth 4 thousand and something years wouldnt be long enough for all the different varieties or species we have today. The polar bear was originally a brown bear so most likely a polar bear wouldnt be on the ark or a penguin wouldnt be needed because it probably evolved from a bird that could fly. So, all they needed were the ancestors of all the different species that evolved from them. young earth doesn't give enough time for this but an old earth does.

Day is not the same as 24 hours, not in the past and not today. The earth is not 6,000 years old and the Bible does not teach this. Hebrews 4:9-10: "There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his." This tells us that the 7th day has not ended. Thus day 7 is a long time span, thus day 1 to 6 must be a long time span. Each believer are to enter into day 7. Also there no "evening and morning" for the 7th day. As day 7 as not ended. Biblical Hebrew has a limited vocabulary, with fewer words compared to other languages, such as English or Spanish. This means words often have multiple meanings determined by context. Day - yom is commonly rendered as day in English translations, but the word yom can be used in different ways to refer to different time spans thus literally is: Sunrise to sunset Sunset to next sunset Time period of unspecified length. (long time span ). We use the word day the same today: In my grandfather’s day cars did not go very fast. Deuteronomy 33:15 and Habakkuk 3:6 "ancient mountains". Gen. 2:4 “in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens” The events of day 6 can n ot have happened in 24 hours. Have you entered into the 7th as Hebrews 4:9-10 asks you to?
