When a fish believed to be extinct for 65 million years was found in the Indian Ocean, evolutionists were stumped as to why it hadn't evolved at all in all those millions of years. The more we learn about this amazing fish, the more it casts doubt on the evolutionists' interpretation of the geologic record.

Did the Noachian Flood Cause Global Catastrophe?

  • by Bill Jahns
When the geologic strata and the fossil record are interpreted in light of what the Bible reveals, it becomes plain that many of the layered sedimentary rocks were in fact deposited in rapid succession rather than over eons of time (as evolutionists have long claimed). The natural history of the earth is in harmony with the biblical account in Genesis.

  • by Bill Jahns
Why do geologists so frequently fail to understand that the biblical Flood was the force that created some geologic formations? One important answer lies in the way they date these formations.
