19 N OAH ’ S F LOOD AND F OSSILIZATION

20 N OAH ’ S F LOOD  antediluvian the earth before the Flood  postdiluvian the earth after the Flood

21 A U NIVERSAL F LOOD  God’s revelation to Noah concerning His purpose

22 G ENESIS 6:17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.

26 G ENESIS 8:5 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.

27 F OSSILIZATION the formation of fossils

28 F OSSILIZATION  preservation of parts  preservation of carbon  preservation of forms  preservation of tracks  petrification  frozen fossils

29 D ELUGE F OSSIL F ORMATION T HEORY

30 T HE D ELUGE T HEORY  sedimentation settling out of materials  sedimentary rock layers of rock deposits  topography land features

31 S UPPORT FOR THE D ELUGE T HEORY  Abundant fossilization is not occurring today.  The arrangement of the fossils indicates a catastrophe. polystrate fossils

32 S UPPORT FOR THE D ELUGE T HEORY  Fossilization must be rapid.  Most fossils require water for their formation or water movements for depositing them.
