Geological Evidence for a Catastrophic Global Flood

We have considered so much evidence that shows that evolution really is impossible. But is there an alternative to evolution? Or are we left in scientific limbo, with nowhere else to turn? In his own personal experience, Dr. John Ashton has discovered that, while evolution is impossible, there is a God who exists and who is able to intervene in our lives. That’s a really exciting thought! Let’s explore the evidence.    

Maybe at some stage in your life, when you stopped to really think about what needed to happen for evolution to work, you suddenly wondered if it really was possible. You might have felt really alone at that point in time, because there are so many scientists that say that evolution is a fact. In this journey, Dr. John Ashton has been confirming that you are not alone, and he has provided us with a cumulative case for why evolution really is impossible.It is also encouraging to know that Dr. Ashton is not alone either. There are many other scientists who have rejected evolution as well.

In this program, we will travel back in time to the very beginning—to the Big Bang itself. Sound like an explosive topic? Actually, you may be surprised to find that the concept, that the Big Bang was an explosion in space, isn’t what cosmologists actually teach. If that sounds intriguing, come with us on this journey.    

Figuring out the age of something in nature is not always an easy task. However, there is one dating method that scientists tell us is really simple and very reliable, and that is Radiometric Dating. It is like reading the time off clocks in the rocks. But does radiometric dating really tell us the true age of the rocks? That’s what we are exploring in this program.

One of the big things that evolution needs is time, and lots of it! That’s why Charles Darwin was so intrigued and attracted to Charles Lyell’s hypothesis that geology points to long ages. But do geological processes really lead us to an old Earth? That’s the topic for this discussion!

Last time we explored the geological evidence for a catastrophic global Flood. But of course, there are still animals and people living on Earth today, so not all life would have been destroyed in that event. If there were people who survived, then there may be other historical evidence for a global catastrophe like that. In this program, we look at this evidence.    

One of the landmark events in the Bible is the Flood, which the book of Genesis tells us covered the whole Earth. That would be a pretty incredible flood, and yet some scholars maintain that the flood was only a local event which impacted a region in the Middle East. But what we want to know is: where does the scientific evidence point? Does it point to a local flood or a Global Flood?

One of the key ideas in evolution is that there is a fairly smooth transition from one species of animal to another. So, there should have been a whole lot of animals in between fish and reptiles, and similarly between dinosaurs and birds. This should mean that there are lot of fossils of these intermediate animals. The question is—do these fossils exist? It feels like a little bit of a detective story, looking for the links in the chain. How does the evolutionary process work and why would we be looking for these fossils in the middle between different animals? Find out in this program.

So, it may sound like our discussion is going to be fairly dead in this program—we will be focusing on the remains of animals that are no longer alive, but be assured that this is actually very interesting. What is really surprising is that the fossil record actually supports the Bible and not evolution.

In this program we are talking about one of the most important components of Darwin’s theory of evolution—random mutations. Darwin believed that we all evolved through a series of genetic mutations—we are all mutants of a common ancestor. But is that true? Watch to find out what really happens as the result of mutations.
