Palaeontological Evidence(continued)

Weier, Stocking, and Barbour puts it this way: 'Despite tempting fragments of evidence, such as cutinized [waxy] spores and bits of xylem [wood] dating back to the Cambrian period…'  most evolutionists still believe that land plants didn't evolve until much later. But notice, the evolutionist argues 'in spite of the evidence.'"

2. The single greatest problem which the fossil record poses for evolutionists is the 'Cambrian explosion', said to have occurred 600 million years ago. The creatures from this period appear suddenly in the rocks without any predecessors. "However, when we turn to examine the pre-Cambrian rocks for the forerunners of these early Cambrian fossils, they are nowhere to be found. Many thick (over 5,000 feet) sections of sedimentary rock are now known to lie in unbroken succession below strata containing the earliest Cambrian fossils. These sediments apparently were suitable for the preservation of fossils because they are often identical with overlying rocks which are fossiliferous, yet no fossils are found in them."

3. When we turn to the Cambrian system we find a vast array of invertebrates (creatures without a backbone) such as jellyfish, sponges, worms, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, trilobites, brachiopods, sea lilies and the creature to the right… a nautioid
The nautiloid, a squid-like animal living in a long straight shell that can be up to 9 feet in length, is a member of the most complex group of invertebrates that we know anything about - the cephalopod molluscs. It has an eye very similar to the human eye, which as we know, is complex almost beyond understanding.

Where are the predecessors to this highly complex eye?

4. In the April edition of National Geographic 1979, Mary Leakey described a set of fossilized footprints she'd discovered at Laetoli, Tanzania. The prints had been made in fresh volcanic ash spewed out of Mount Sadiman. They showed that three individuals had walked over the soft ash leaving 69 prints in three parallel trails some 30 yards long. She described the footprints, dated at 3,600,000 years old, as "remarkably similar to those of modern man."
Russell H. Tuttle from the University of Chicago carried out an extensive study of the prints and concluded that "In discernible features, the Laetoli G prints are indistinguishable from those of habitually barefoot Homo sapiens ... If the G footprints were not known to be so old, we would readily conclude that they were made by a member of our genus, Homo."

Lubenow comments, "The real problem - the only problem - is that to ascribe those fossil footprints to Homo does not fit the evolutionary scenario timewise. According to the theory of evolution, those footprints are too old to have been made by true humans. It is a classic case of interpreting facts according to a preconceived philosophical bias."

Noah's flood was both cataclysmic and catastrophic beyond our full comprehension. Because of the great wickedness of mankind, God was provoked to "destroy man whom [He had] created from the face of the earth; both man and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air .... [by] a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life .... and everything that is in the earth shall die." Genesis 6:7-17
The natural forces used by God to bring about this global judgment were two-fold: "The fountains of the great deep were broken up and the windows of heaven were opened" - Genesis 7:11.
