Whale Fossils in the Desert - Evidence for a Worldwide Flood?
27 Sep, 202334:39
How did 80 whales end up fossilized in the Chilean desert? What sort of conditions led to them: i) Swimming there in the first place, and ii) Getting RAPIDLY and DEEPLY buried so that they would fossilize?
Can evolutionary history supply a satisfactory explanation for this—as well as the many other marine fossil graveyards all over the world? Or does the global Flood described in the Bible supply the best explanation for the evidence?
And if the biblical Flood (or something like it) is, indeed a good explanation, why don’t geologists talk about it in the mainstream science journals?
Get answers to these questions and more in this discussion with creationist geologist, Dr Tas Walker!
