Study Notes
- Today in the USA, horsetail rushes grow up to three feet tall, but fossil evidence indicates they used to be over 100 feet tall.
Genesis and Change
- Genesis 1 and 2 describes a world that was "very good", while Genesis 3 introduces sin, leading to a decline.
- This change from good to bad is not evolution.
Fossil Discoveries
- Fossil horsetail rushes show that they used to be giants, contrasting with their present-day size.
Goliath Cockroach
- Present-day Goliath cockroaches are several inches long.
- Fossil cockroaches were 40 to 50 times bigger, requiring being shooed out of houses with a broom.
Giant Insects
- Fossils reveal mosquitoes with 18-inch proboscises and dragonflies with 3-foot wingspans
The Flood
- Genesis 1 and 2 states God made the world very good, with Genesis 3 introducing sin and a decline.
- Genesis 4-6 describes further decline, leading to God washing the world away with a flood, except for Noah and his family.
Tracks in Rocks
- Tracks in rocks require the rock to be setting and covered before eroding away.
- Following tracks often leads to discovering the animal that made them.
Roly Polies
- Fossil evidence reveals giant roly polies, grapes, people, leaves, and lizards.
- Roly polies used to be ten to twelve feet long, but today they are only a half an inch to an inch long.
- This change is described as devolution, not evolution.
Sharks
- Sharks never stop growing, unlike humans.
- The question posed is, in a "very good" world, what did sharks eat, and would they have attacked Adam?
Tortoises
- Tortoises never stop growing until death.
- A 174-year-old tortoise was big enough to ride on, born in 1830.
Turtles
- Turtles also keep growing throughout their lives.
- Giant turtle remains were found alongside giant lizards in Montana.
Cambridge University Fossil
- A fossil with a shovel-shaped head, short neck, narrow shoulders, and long body is displayed in Cambridge University.
- A similar creature can be found in Tennessee today.
Lifespans
- Before Noah's flood, people lived much longer, such as Methuselah who lived 969 years.
- After the flood, lifespans decreased, with Noah being the last to live over 900 years.
Ram's Horn Shell
- A small ram's horn shell on a New Zealand beach has a built-in clock, adding chambers each year as it grows.
- Fossil cousins of this shell can be much larger, with hundreds of chambers.
Giant Oysters
- Fossil oysters were giants, with rings indicating they lived much longer than present-day oysters.
Kangaroos
- A fiberglass mock-up of a giant kangaroo in an Australian tourist park is based on real fossils.
- Fossil kangaroos have been found that were between 12 and 15 feet tall.
- Kangaroos, like sharks and turtles, keep growing every day of their lives.
Goannas
- Present-day goannas grow to be about three or four feet long.
- Fossil goannas used to be 30 feet long.
Beliefs
- Beliefs about where we come from influence who we think we are and where we think we're going.
Pygmy Blue Tongued Lizards
- Pygmy blue tongued lizards are tiny in the outback due to limited food, water, and shelter.
Genesis 8:22
- Genesis 8:22 states that as long as the earth remains, seed time and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night shall not cease.
- The first mention of "cold" in the Bible suggests that the climate was different before.
Snakes
- There are no snakes in Alaska, but they become more prevalent further south.
- Fossil snakes have been found as big as double-hitched trailers.
Degeneration
- The Bible suggests that the things we are used to are the result of degeneration.
- After Noah's Flood, there were extremes of seasons.
- Fossil trees found alongside giant insects often lack tree rings.
Watering System
- Genesis chapter 2 describes a daily mist or springs that watered the whole surface of the Earth.
Natural Selection
- Natural selection might be better termed unnatural selection, as snakes were originally vegetarian.
Christ as Creator
- It's important to have a reason for believing in Christ as the creator.
Chiwetaras
- Chiwetaras live only in New Zealand today, but fossils have been found elsewhere, such as in Germany.
- It questions how such a small creature is related to the giant fossils.
