Dr. Emil Silvestru has published over 40 peer reviewed papers, a book, & worked as a professor & scientist in secular institutions. He explains the evidence for a global flood, including some very interesting new research..very strong evidence that only a global flood can answer. It gets better & better as it goes on..the best evidence is in the last 1/2 or so. In history, Lyell & Cuvier were opponents & Lyell's concepts of uniformitarianism triumphed over catastrophism for some decades & those who advocated catastrophism were ridiculed. When Harlan Bretz proposed a flood in the Missoula area, it was ridiculed due to people accepting Lyell's uniformitarianism & evolution. But now we know Bretsz was right. This area was for certain made by a flood. Loius Agassiz predicted massive ice sheets in the USA...Darwin didn't believe him...Agassiz came to America & found evidence of massive ice sheets causing many features on the continent. He stayed as Harvard Professor. In the grand Canyon, we have the coconino sandstone lying on top of the hermit shale. But, there are 10 million years missing between them (A paraconformity). So for 10 million years, the Hermite shale was exposed to erosion, but has hardly a scratch of evidence of this & yet the prevailing evolutionary wisdom is that the whole Grand Canyon was cut out of rock in 1 million years? How does that work logically? People often ask how the flood could lay down layers of rock. Well, flumes of water have demonstrated that many layers, smoothly bound, can be laid down in moving water. Many layers laid down with no erosion between them is a very strong evidence of fast deposition. If a global flood happened, we should have more of them & we do. Monterey Canyon is wider, deeper & longer & is bigger than the Grand Canyon. What could make this on the bottom of the ocean? No rivers are flowing there. For creationists, it's pretty simple...the global flood. Evolutionists have no answer. & more & more of these canyons are being found. Creationists like evolutionists invent hypotheses that are not always right & need to correct them (ex: the canopy hypothesis). Baumgardner's creationist plate tectonics theory has a lot of excellent explanations for the flood, but there were some things it could explain well. This has been improved by Michael Oard, but he also admits weak points that need to be figured out. Oard published papers on vertical lift of plates that could move them up or down 1000s of feet in just a short time***. But, he didn't have a mechanism to explain how. He predicted a mechanism would be found for that . In 2011, a mechanism for vertical lift of continents was published. Evolutionists claim that you can't produce fine sediments & sequences of silts in moving water. "This has led to bias Schieber explains, that whenever mudstones are encountered in the sedimentary rock record, they are generally interpreted as quiet water deposits." As waters clear, Science Daily A "tarred" issue (~81:00). But, the Bouma sequence shows that it can be done even from 1962. Her are some examples of layers with gaps & no erosion: The Bottom layer is the Waterways Formation, Middle Devonian, 390 million years. Above it is the Ft. McMurray Formation, Cretaceous, 130 million years. 260 million year different..and yet the top of the lowest layer is perfectly flat...and exposed for 260 million years & no erosion??? How??? The Himalaya erosion rate is ~2.7 mm/year. That means 135 km had to be eroded...so the mountain would have had to start in the mantle***...which is not possible. Folding in geology can be seen is everywhere. This is a prediction of creation science & a global flood & we see it everywhere as well as in situ fossil trees (polystrate fossils) such as in Shamokin, Penn. The Whaleback Anticline. Evolution can't explain these well. Creation science can. You need cement to bind grains to turn sand into sandstone & trees into stone fossils. A global flood is by far best explanation. As plates went down fast, they would drag down water, sediments & other things very deep down into the earth (1000 km??) . If you do that, it would turn it into volatiles (?), highly active chemical solutions. These are lighter & will move up. As they come to the crust, they'll change sand & other sediments into stone & also turn dead things into fossils. This is the ONLY valid scenario on a global scale. There are many Large Igneous Provinces all over the globe. Only a global catastrophe could cause this. What would be expected from a global flood?
