Bible Question:
How does one dismiss archeological finds of bones, skeletons, fossils of humans within the evolutionary process? |
Bible Answer: Hi Henry, We do not have to dismiss the fossil finds. Dinosaurs could have easily lived before the flood, feeding their huge bodies on the massive vegatation growth. The razor teeth of T-Rex, for instance, long assumed to be a predator, would be the perfect carrion eater. Noah could have easily taken dinos onto the ark as babies. The Creation Evidence Museum in Glen Rose TX (they have a website - site-search fossils) has numerous examples of modern fossils that show fossilization can happen quickly, and that just because something is fossilized does not mean its excessively old. My favorite of theirs is a fossil of a sewn sandle having stepped on a trilobite! Skeletons of "partially evolved" humans have without exception been shown to be either outright hoaxes, or of people with known physical maladies. The Paluxy (sp.) River in Texas has fossil dino footprints with human footprints inside them. The point is, the fossils and other geological finds do not contradict the Bible, but they have by and large been falsely interpreted. I hope this helps. Love in Christ, Mark |
