Intro/Chapt 1
This type of event provides ideal conditions to form fossils
What is a flood?
Creatures alive today that evolutionists thought had been extinct millions of years
What are living fossils?
Sea creatures on mountain tops
Because of the Flood and the mountains rose afterwards
Changing from immature form to adult form in stages
What is metamorphosis? tadpoles to frogs
The event in 1980 that supports Dr. Austin's theory on coal formation
What is Mt. St. Helens eruption?
trilobites
What are crab-like creatures that are the first animals fossilized in abundance?
arthopods
What are creatures with jointed legs and an exoskeleton?
evolutionary series
What is a sequence of fossils suggesting one creature changing to another kind?
The theory that life started by chance, and over millions of years, simple things became complex
What is evolution?
Cambrian explosion
What is the sudden appearance of a wide variety of complex life forms in the lowest GCD layer?
"head-footed"; most complex invertebrates
What are cephlapods?
Archaeopteryx is not a missing link
Because its "transitional" features were found in other birds; birds are lower in GCD
Two men who popularized evolutions
Who are Charles Darwin and Lyell?
Sea animal fossils are found throughout GCD; land animals are higher
Land animals and plants were buried later in the flood; flood waters covered the whole land
microscopic one-celled plants with glass walls
What are diatoms?
Splint bones
2 flanking toes in modern horses that are important leg support structures
Fossils preserved by minerals hardening in pore spaces
What are permineralized fossils?
Said fossils are the most serious objection to evolution; why is that significant?
Who is Charles Darwin? evolution needs viable evidence of transitions from one life form to another
Fossil clams testify to rapid burial
Because many are found with both shells closed; they couldn't escape
Sequence of horse hooves doesn't explain evolution
The "early" horse fossil isn't a horse; sizes vary today; 3 and 1 hooved kinds lived together
