What Textbooks Teach
- Fossils form when organisms die and are slowly buried
- Layers of sediment accumulate over millions of years
- Minerals gradually replace organic material
- The process takes millions of years
Rapid Burial, Not Slow Processes
EXPOSED Series | Ages 13+Textbooks claim fossils formed slowly over millions of years. But the evidence tells a different story - one of rapid burial and catastrophic processes.
This workbook examines what fossils actually reveal and why the conventional story doesn't match the evidence.
When an animal dies today, what happens?
Normal death does NOT produce fossils!
These conditions require catastrophic events, not slow processes!
If fossils require rapid burial, what kind of event could bury billions of creatures quickly and deeply?
Mass burial sites contain:
How does slow, gradual burial explain this?
A global flood explains:
How would slow processes over millions of years bury 800 billion animals in one formation?
Polystrate fossils are fossils that extend through multiple geological layers - layers that supposedly represent millions of years.
The most common examples are fossilized trees standing upright through many layers of rock.
If each layer took thousands or millions of years to form:
Yet these trees are found perfectly preserved through multiple "ancient" layers!
Polystrate fossils make perfect sense if:
This fits the Flood model perfectly!
What's the simplest explanation: a tree standing for millions of years while slowly being buried, or rapid burial during a catastrophe?
Dr. Mary Schweitzer discovered soft tissue inside a T. rex bone:
According to mainstream science:
The evidence doesn't match the timeline!
"We don't understand how it preserved so long, but it must have" - this is assumption, not science!
Some have suggested:
If soft tissue, blood cells, and DNA are found in dinosaur bones, the simplest explanation is that the bones are not millions of years old.
This fits a biblical timeline of thousands, not millions of years!
Why do you think some scientists resist the obvious conclusion about soft tissue?
If geological layers formed over millions of years, we should find:
At many locations, layers show:
The contact between layers in the Grand Canyon often shows:
Where did millions of years go without leaving a trace?
If layers were deposited rapidly during a flood:
If millions of years passed between layers, why is there no evidence of those years?
Marine fossils (sea creatures) are found on virtually every mountain range:
"The mountains rose up after the fossils were deposited in ancient seas."
This requires:
A global flood explains:
Both explanations involve water covering the mountains. Which explanation fits the evidence better and why?
Living fossils are organisms that appear identical to their fossil counterparts, showing no evolution over supposed millions of years.
If evolution is constant and inevitable:
If some creatures remain unchanged for "hundreds of millions of years," what does this suggest about the supposed power of evolution?
A global flood explains:
How does understanding the true nature of fossils strengthen your confidence in Scripture?
