The existence of great floods is still a matter of great debate in academic circles.
There are two main groups of people arguing about the existence of the Great flood.
Archaeologists generally believe that the Great flood did not exist,Because there's no archaeological evidence for a great flood.
On the other side are the geologists,Geologists generally agree that great floods existed,Because there are always traces of water erosion in geological structures,The range is huge,The whole thing is covering the whole planet.
But neither side was able to convince the other.
The beginning of the Great Flood controversy.
James Hutton,A lawyer from the 18th century.
He thought that everything that had happened before could be explained by what was happening now.That means if great flood is not happening now, it won't happen before.
It is obvious that a wrong view is accepted by many people,Because people turned against the Church at the end of the eighteenth century,Many wanted to break away from the church and separate science from theology,How to separate science from theology, that is, deny theology.Darwin was a descendant of this group.So he came up with the theory of evolution.This intensified the battle between the Church and science.
So for us modern people, which is more acceptable, creationism or evolution?
I'm definitely not evolved.(the girl said)
Either way, there's a big difference between the creationism and evolution.
Evolution says that life began more than four billion years ago,There were dinosaurs 250 million years ago,There were humans 3.9 million years ago.
But the creationism. God created the world in seven days.What dinosaurs and humans were all created together.According to creationism, people and dinosaurs should have been around the same time.
So did people live at the same time with dinosaurs? according to the fossils found it's not.Because human fossils and dinosaur fossils are not in the same stratigraphic age.
So the important point here is what animals do we infer from the stratum and what age.
How do we know this layer is 250 million years old? It used a form of radiometric dating.But radiometric dating is a very inaccurate method.
The common thread of the flood legend.
Great floods are worldwide, and they are devastating to humanity.And yet, in the end, people just live.
The second thing in common is the presence of god in flood legends.The Bible says that God caused the Great Flood.In the great flood of China, Nuwa went to make up for it.
So neither in the Bible nor in any other story does it say that the flood was worldwide, so how do we know it was worldwide?If the great flood were not worldwide, there would be no need to build Noah's Ark,If it's local, people move away,There's no need to build a Noah's Ark and put animals in it, especially birds,Noah put birds in his ark. There must be no place to rest for birds.
And the Bible says that the water has flooded the highest mountain,Shells have been found near Mount Qomolangma in the Himalayas.
The way geologists interpret it is geological motion,But this is easier to explain with the great flood.
The time of the great flood.
To understand when the great flood happened, look at several evidence:
1.fossil
According to biologists, animals are deposited in sedimentary rocks after they die
Over the years,more than thousands of years, it fossilizes.The process is very slow.
But now, increasingly, scientists and geologists are finding that fossils don't form so slowly.
Because the animals died and were eaten by other animals before they became fossils.It doesn't wait and wait for lime or mud to bury it.It must have been quickly covered in something.So it was buried very quickly.It's definitely not a very slow process.
So you have to think what can bury a dinosaur ten meters long really fast?
1.The dinosaur fell into the mud,swamp.
2.great flood.The great flood quickly swept away the mud and buried the dinosaurs.
Darwin once said that soft tissue animals don't have fossils.Like jellyfish and things like that.There is no way to preserve their fossils.
But that's not really the case,Fossils of jellyfish are found all over the world.Mollusks like we talk about, even fossil algae from more than four billion years ago can be preserved.Don't you think it's weird?So how do the fossils of soft tissue animals like this survive.The only way they could have survived was if they were buried quickly.So what quickly buried the jellyfish in the water?It must have been something like great flood.It might be a bit like a tsunami, a tsunami is black and full of mud and sand.
So now that we can find so many fossils, how could there be so many quagmire, mud, bogs?
For example, a quagmire fell into a million dinosaurs, should be in the same quagmire, right?
The fact that the fossils are so widely dispersed suggests that something like this happened on a large scale.What is it that's causing this, you can imagine.
And there's something strange about the dinosaur fossils that have been found so far.
It is called death pose,These dinosaurs all died in the same position.The head and tail are bent back.So why do dinosaurs die in such a pose.Now research has found that this is only the case when drown.So what could be causing this.Some dinosaurs even lived in water.
2.rock stratum
I don't know if you've seen the rock formations.It's layered on top of each other.
The original idea was that it was a little bit of sand, dust, accumulated.It took billions of years to get to where it is now.But the geologists found one thing, after removing the top layer, they found footprints on the bottom layer.Footprints are hard to preserve.Footprints will soon be gone by wind and rain.Why are there footprints on the rock stratum?That means this layer was quickly put on.And they found that the footprints all across the United States were point to the same direction,That means they're on the run.What's chasing these animals, a tsunami.Later, scientists also found a layer of rock stratum quickly formed by volcanic eruptions near volcanoes.The rock stratum may have been five or six meters high and formed in just one day.Which means that rock formations don't form as slowly as we thought.So if the rock stratum are forming that fast, then there's a problem,The layers we see now, tens of meters thick, were supposed to have formed tens of millions of years ago,It could have formed over several years or hundreds of years.Then our entire earth's history would be short.
