EVOLUTION vs. CREATION

Evolution vs. Creation
Which Came First?

[Did we evolve from the Ape Tribe or
from Human Lineage?]​

I think God often chuckles at man’s rattle-brained, ineffectual efforts to “prove” something that cannot be substantiated. Case in point, evolutionists should get their act together in regards to the age of petrified wood—and other creations as well, particularly human creations.

While looking over the Petrified Forest in NE Arizona, the longevity of wood, now transformed into stone, was set at two different ages—220 and 225 million years. Here we have a huge longevity gap of 5 million years. That’s a long gap. If evolutionists are so certain of their findings, and they declare they are, why are they incapable of reaching a consistent consensus on longevity?

They can’t even agree on how long it took man to evolve from the ape family, and why the ape family did not counter-evolve into extinction when man came upon the scene. I find this rather puzzling and disturbing. The bottom line is that their findings are suspect. It is my firm persuasion that the speculative theology of evolution is utterly unworthy of reflection, except to expose it for what it is—godless theology. It is pregnant with fairy tales, filled with segments of the imagination, and spilling over with fantasies.

I can make just as much of a case as the evolutionist that apes and monkeys evolved from us humans. I have just as much “evidence” to support my fairy tale as they have to support theirs. If we evolved from apes, it would still be occurring today. But it isn’t. I challenge the evolutionist to present evidence that man is still evolving from the ape family. For if he is unable to document evidence of this, how credible, then, is his assertion that man evolved from the ape?

Just so with petrified wood. The global Flood of Noah’s day contained all of the components to change wood into stone. Our entire world experienced a kind of havoc unequaled in human history. To persuade you of that fact, I recommend that you go to your local Library and check out The Flood, by Professor Alfred M. Regwinkel (Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, 1951). I have a copy of the book in my Library.

Professor Regwinkel submits evidence that the convulsions of the earth during the Flood transformed our planet drastically, including climatic changes. The changes were global. He includes photos of the beasts that once roamed our earth, including a photo of a Beresovka Mammoth, in the flesh, mounted exactly as found in northern Siberia in 1846. Siberia, a frozen piece of ground today, had a mild climate before the Flood. The evidence is there.

Evolutionists say it takes at least one million years for wood to petrify. I have before me an essay by Dr. John D. Morris, Ph.D, President of Institute for Creation Research. I hereby submit portions of Dr. Morris’ Essay. It is worth reading.​

“Wood can petrify quickly, and that no informed geologist would say it takes an excessively long time, certainly less time than it takes for wood to decay in a given environment. As is now well known, wood can petrify rapidly. Several laboratory experiments have devised ways in which this can be done, mirroring natural settings. Wood can also be petrified in field settings. During one field experiment, researchers dangled a block of wood down inside an alkaline spring in Yellowstone Park to see what effect this hot, silica-rich environment would have.

“In just one year, substantial petrification had occurred. I recently read an advertisement in a magazine for real ‘hardwood floors.’ The company was petrifying wood commercially. The point is, it does not take long ages to petrify wood, it just takes the right conditions. These conditions, with abundant hot waters (i.e., ‘fountains of the great deep,’ Genesis 7:11) and rampant volcanism, would be met during the flood of Noah’s day and the centuries following.” (see www.icr.org/article/1145/393 .)​

About this time last year we visited the Petrified Forest...105 degrees hot....I even bought a piece of petrified wood for $35.

When I read/loked at their signs they had pictures of trees that had fallen into streams and were subsequently buried...and petrified. I thought, come on you guys gotta do better than that.

I learned that one particular layer in the Grand Staircase...contained these pertified tree trunks...
Here's how it looks on google maps street guy.

The way I see it the strata that makes up the Grand Staircase were simply flood deposits and a bunch of trees got washed to and buried in this location. Later to petrify.

Interesting, my brother, interesting indeed. Thanks for sharing.
