Polystrate fossils? Polystrate fossil is a fossil that runs through multiple layers of soil. Here is the problem; if each layer of soil represents millions of years how do these fossils run through multiple layers of soil? Thousands, if not more, of these sort of fossils have been found. If a portion of a fossil remained uncovered while waiting for the next layer of soil to form it would decay, not fossilize. Sometimes fossilized trees are found buried upside down through multiple layers of soil. These must have been buried quickly, maybe in a flood, Noah’s flood.
Index fossils A index fossil is a fossil they use to date layers of soil. Example: The Graphlitite is the New York state fossil and is dated back 410 million years ago. So if they find this fossil in a layer of soil they know that layer is 410 million years old. But recently they found Graphlitites alive today. Clearly this is a problem for their dating method.
1st Law of thermodynamics The 1st Law of Thermodyamics simply states that energy can be neither created nor destroyed (conservation of energy). Thus power generation processes and energy sources actually involve conversion of energy from one form to another, rather than creation of energy from nothing. The 1st Law of Thermodynamics tells us that energy is neither created nor destroyed, thus the energy of the universe is a constant. However, energy can certainly be transferred from one part of the universe to another. To work out thermodynamic problems we will need to isolate a certain portion of the universe (the system) from the remainder of the universe (the surroundings). For example consider the pendulum example given in the last section. In real life there is friction and the pendulum will gradually slow down until it comes to rest. We can define the pendulum as the system and everything else as the surroundings. Due to friction there is a small but steady transfer of heat energy from the system (pendulum) to the surroundings (the air and the bearing upon which the pendulum swings). Due to the 1st law of thermodynamics the energy of the system must decrease to compensate for the energy lost as heat until the pendulum comes to rest. [Remember though the total energy of the universe remains constant as required by the 1st Law.] Their problem: Where did the initial energy come from that created the "Big bang"? Remember it can't come from no where as it is stated energy cannot be created.
2nd Law of thermodynamics 2nd law - systems become more disorganized over time - is at the same time perhaps the most abstract and profound statement of the three. A trivial example of Nature's tendency towards disorder can be achieved by the following experiment. Take a jar full of pennies that have carefully been arranged so that all the heads are facing up. Then tip the jar so that all the pennies fall to the ground - theoretically, it is possible that all the pennies will land with heads facing up. Our experience though is that most of the time, the some pennies will have heads up and some will have tails up. This example illustrates clearly, and quite accurately what is meant by order, and why nature prefers disorder. Having 50 pennies in a jar all with heads up is clearly an ordered state. Having 50 pennies on the ground with some, unspecified number heads, and the rest tails is clearly disordered. The reason the pennies never land all heads up is simply that it is too unlikely. There are far more disordered states possible than the one, and only one ordered state. This example also shows that ordered states are by no means impossible to achieve in Nature, they just require work: someone must put a lot of effort into arranging the pennies so that they are all facing the same way. However, in the absence of such external intervention, a disordered state is overwhelmingly more probably, which is in effect the 3rd version of the 2nd Law. Their problem: If everything tends towards disorder unless there is a external source to guide it, how was the universe brought about with out help?
Law of conservation of angular momentum States that if a object is spinning and a part breaks lose from that object, the object that broke away will spin the same direction as the first object. They say at the beginning of time a ball of matter was spinning very fast then suddenly exploded (Big bang). Based on this Law all planets and universes should spin the same direction, but many spin the opposite direction. Another problem for them.
Oldest known historical records The oldest known historical recods only date back about 6,000 years. Ironically biblical dates go back about 6,000 years.
Carbon dating We have a thing called Carbon 14 is in our atmosphere. We get it due to radiation from the sun entering out atmosphere and some becomes C14. Scientist have calculated that on a brand new planet about the size of earth, it would take about 30,000 years for the C14 to hit the equilibrium point (no more coming in, none leaving, a.k.a. constant same amount). Our atmosphere is still gaining c14.
That proves the earth is less than 30,000 years old
Carbon Dating does not work and is not a reliable dating method:
*Year 1949 - lower leg of mammoth dated 15,380, its skin and flesh was dated 21,380 years old
*Year 1963 - living mollusk shells dated at 2,300 years old.
*Year 1971 - a freshly killed seal dated at 1,300 years old
*Year 1975 - one part of frozen baby mammoth dated 40,000 another 26,000 and wood around it dated 9-10,000 years old
*Year 1984 - Shells from living snails dated at 27,000 years old
*Year 1992 - the two Colorado, AK had radioactive ages of 22,850 and 16,150 years
*Year 1996 - human bone dated with 2 methods. One came out 53,000, other came out 27,000
*Vollosovich mammoth dated at 29,500 and another part of it at 44,000
*living penguin have been dated at 8,000 years old
*material from where dinosaurs found dated at 34,000
*some dinosaur bones dated under 30,000
*2 year old lava has been dated around 350,000 years old
Human artifacts in geologic column Human Artifacts in the Geologic Column (in areas suppose to be 100+ mil old). Man-made artifacts, such as a hammer in Cretaceous rock, in coal they have found a bell, necklace, and other items, a human sandal print with trilobite in Cambrian rock, human footprints and a handprint in Cretaceous rock and many other human artifacts have been found all through out the geologic column. this proves that the rock layers are not million and millions of years apart in age difference. the logical solution would be that they all formed in a short period of time during the Noah's flood.
Intermediate fossils? Intermediate Fossils An intermediate Fossils is a fossil of a creature that is in between two fully formed creatures. For instance the animal that was in-between a fish and an amphibian . Before it was completely amphibian but after it "evolved" beyond being completely fish. Today there is no shortage of fossils there are literally millions of fossils and trillions more to be dug up and studied. Logic tells us that there should be plenty of fossil intermediates.
"the number of intermediate and transitional links, between all living and extinct species, must have been inconceivably great. But assuredly, if this theory be true, such have lived upon the earth."
Charles Darwin, Origin of Species (1872; reprint, New York: Random House 1993), 408.
Charles Darwin seems to agree the number of transitional links should be "inconceivably great". Guess how many have actually been found... "0". It's a nice round number. Please, don't believe me, let's take a look at what the scientists themselves say.
He [Darwin] was embarrassed by the fossil record because it didn't look the way he predicted it would and, as a result, he devoted a long section of his Origin of Species to an attempt to explain and rationalize the differences... Darwin's general solution to the incompatibility of fossil evidence and his theory was to say that the fossil record is a very incomplete one.... Well, we are now about 120 years after Darwin, and knowledge of the fossil record has been greatly expanded. We now have a quarter of a million fossil species but the situation hasn't changed much. The record of evolution is still surprisingly jerky and, ironically, we have even fewer examples of evolutionary transition than we had in Darwin's time. By this I mean that some of the classic cases of Darwinian change in the fossil record, such as the evolution of the horse in North America, have had to be discarded or modified as a result of more detailed information- what appeared to be a nice simple progression when relatively few data were available now appears to be much more complex and much less gradualistic.
David M. Raup, "Conflicts Between Darwin and Paleontology," Field Museum of Natural Histroy Bulletin 50 (January 1979): 22-23, 24-25
David Raup is the curator of geology at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, which houses the world's largest fossil collection!
The extreme rarity of transitional forms in the fossil record persists as the trade secret of paleontology. The evolutionary trees that adorn our textbooks have data only at the tips and nodes of their branches; the rest is inference, however reasonable, not the evidence of fossils.
Stephen Jay Gould, "Evolution's Erratic Pace," Natural History86 (May 1977): 14.
Stephen Jay Gould of Harvard University was one of the most outspoken evolutionists of his day and today remains one of the most quoted. It is sad to say he recently passed away an evolutionist without the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Today however, he is certainly a six day young earth creationist.
Colin Patterson, senior paleontologist at the British Museum of Natural History, wrote in a personal letter:
I fully agree with your comments on the lack of direct illustration of evolutionary transitions in my book. If I knew of any, fossil or living, I would certainly have included them. You suggest that an artist should be used to visualize such transformations, but where would he get the information from? I could not, honestly, provide it, and if I were to leave it to artistic license, would that not mislead the reader?
I wrote the text of my book four years ago. If I were to write it now, I think the book would be rather different. Gradualism is a concept I believe in, not just because of Darwin's authority, but because my understanding of genetics seems to demand it. Yet Gould and the American Museum people are hard to contradict when they say there are no transitional fossils. As a paleontologist myself, I am much occupied with the philosophical problems of identifying ancestral forms in the fossil record. You say that I should at least "show a photo of the fossil from which each type of organism was derived." I will lay it on the line-there is not one such fossil for which one could make a water tight argument.
Colin Patterson, letter to Luther D. Sutherland, 10 April 1979, quoted in Luther D. Sutherland, Darwin's Enigma: Fossils and Other Problems (San Diego: Master Books, 1988), 89.
Gareth Nelson of the American Museum of Natural History:
It is a mistake to believe that even one fossil species or fossil "group" can be demonstrated to have been ancestral to another. The ancestor descendant relationship may only be assumed to have existed in the absence of evidence indicating otherwise.
Gareth Nelson, "Origin and Diversification of Teleostean Fishes," Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences 67 (1969): 22.
Richard Dawkins, an ardent evolutionist, notes:
“the Cambrian strata of rocks, vintage about 600 million years [evolutionists are now dating the beginning of the Cambrian at about 530 million years], are the oldest in which we find most of the major invertebrate groups. And we find many of them already in an advanced state of evolution, the very first time they appear. It is as though they were just planted there, without any evolutionary history. Needless to say, this appearance of sudden planting has delighted creationists.”
May I first say that this appearance of sudden planting does delight me. This last quote is here to point out that the fossil record does not show a gradual change from one kind of animal to another. All the animals appear fully formed and functioning with no fossil intermediates. As I said earlier, I don't expect you to believe me, that is why I included quotes from the curator of geology at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, evolutionary graduates from Harvard University, the senior paleontologist at the British Museum of Natural History and representatives of the American Museum of Natural History, not to mention Charles Darwin.
Dinosaur blood found In September 1993 Earth Magazine, they have an article about how blood was found inside a dinosaurs bone. Medical pathologists examined dinosaur bone under a microscope and found blood inside the bone. How could the blood survive seventy million years? It is not possible. The reason why there is still blood in the bone, is because dinosaurs always lived with man in the Garden of Eden and other places before the flood. After the flood they were killed off. Some also died because of atmosphere changes.
Meteor strikes When meteors strike the earth, they are called meteorites. Supposedly, this has happened for millions of years, yet the meteorites are only found at, or close to, the earth's surface. None are ever found in the deeper sedimentary strata which are suppose to take millions of years to form. If that was true, then there would be alot of meteors in the layers, but there isn't. Therefore, the earth is young and the strata was quickly laid down not too long ago by a world wide flood.
