“The two Colorado Creekmammoths had radiocarbonages of 22,850 ±670 and16,150 ±230 yearsrespectively.”—Robert M. Thorson and R.Dale Guthrie,“Stratigraphyof the Colorado CreekMammoth Locality,Alaska,”Quaternary Research, Vol. 37,No. 2, March 1992, pp. 214-228, see also: In theBeginning Walt Brownp. 244-246“Ageologist at the BerkeleyGeochronology Center,[Carl]Swisher uses the mostadvanced techniques to datehuman fossils. Last spring hewas re-evaluating Homoerectus skulls found in Java inthe 1930s by testing thesediment found with them. Ahominid species assumed tobe an ancestor of Homosapiens,“erectus was thoughtto have vanished some250,000 years ago. But eventhough he used two differentdating methods, Swisher keptmaking the same startlingfind: the bones were 53,000years old at most and possiblyno more than 27,000 years—astretch of timecontemporaneous withmodern humans.”—Leslie Kaufman, “Did aThird Human Species LiveAmong Us?” Newsweek(December 23, 1996), p. 52.4.

Earth’s Most ChallengingMysteries, 1972,p.280The number offossils in certain areas oftheworld isenormous. How could earthhave supported all those creaturesat thesametime?This question shows acommon falseassumption that manypeoplemake. They assume theearth today is thesameas ithas always been. Today’s earthis 70%under water. Therearescriptural and scientific indications thatthepre-flood worldhad greater air pressure, higher percentages ofoxygen andcarbon dioxide, muchmore land(abovesea level), less water(on the earth’s surface), and acanopy of water tofilter outtheharmful effects of the sun. This would causetheretobemany times moreplants and animals on the earththan thereare today. Theadded airpressurewould diffusemoregassesinto thewaterand support amuchgreater fish population.Aquatic plant lifeper cubicmilewould multiply also. II Peter3tells us that the scoffers in thelast days will bewillinglyignorantof how God created theheavens and theearth. Theywould alsobeignorant of the flood. Thesetwo greateventsmustbeconsideredbefore making anystatements about theconditions on earth today. Onlyabout3% ofthe earthtodayis habitablefor man. Therestis under water, ice, deserts,mountains, etc. Iftheearthbefore theflood wereforexample,70%habitable, itcouldhave supported ahugepopulation.Most ofthewater in today’s oceans would been under theEarth’s crustbeforetheflood. SeePsalm 24:1 and Psalm 136:7.Thevast amount andworld-widedistribution of fossils showsthefloodwas globaland that God hates sin enoughtojudgetheentireworld.
