8/27/2015 Evidence of a Flood Biblical Building Block by Terrie Kinsey

2 A Foundation Block of the Bible?  Recorded by Moses as an historical event.  Jesus and the apostles accepted the flood as an historical event.  Peter emphasized the importance of belief in the Flood (2 Peter 3:5-7).

3  More ocean sediments than terrestrial sediments on continents.  What are marine fossils doing on the continents? All Mixed Up

4  Large amounts of water are needed to produce widespread deposits u of marine fossils on the continents u of the same rock type on the continents u of turbidites on the continents (What’s a turbidite?) Water Over the Land?

5 A Titanic Earthquake!  In 1929, an earthquake near Newfoundland caused a flow of sediment that snapped 13 underwater communication cables.  The sediment covered 40,000 sq. mi. in 13 hours, even reaching the wreck of the Titanic.

6 Turbidites on Land? Sediments deposited by underwater turbidity currents are called turbidites. Thousands of turbidites have been discovered on the continents. Were the continents once covered by water?

7 Contact Lines  The line between sedimentary layers (contact line) shows the amount of erosion.  More time should result in more erosion.

8 Contact Lines  Scientists are finding flat contact lines which cannot be explained by millions of years of exposure.  Could these layers have been deposited rapidly?

9  Marine sediments on top of terrestrial sediments on top of marine sediments.  Turbidites on the continents.  Smooth contact lines in some places. Scientific Evidence
