Transcript
Evolutionary teaching has indoctrinated us to think it takes millions of years to make a fossil—but it doesn’t! It just takes the right conditions.
To make a fossil, you need to bury a plant or animal quickly. This keeps it from being eaten or rotting away. Once it’s buried, the organism can mineralize to become a fossil.
This process doesn’t take millions of years. It can happen very quickly. For example, a miner left his hat in a mine and a few years later it was hard as rock!
So what happened in the past that quickly buried the creatures we find fossilized today? Well, it’s the global flood of Noah’s day!
