A bit of a problem for evolutionists

(To the right is the Glacier National Park in Canada)


I love to chat with evolutionists - I find that they are quite frustrated with many geological truths which cannot be explained by their own definitions. Take, for example, the layers of fossils (I speak briefly, here, because i'm not a scientist - I will recommend an excellent source for your further study) that range from the Cretaceous (135 million years ago) to the Cambrian Period (600 million years ago). These layers of fossils would be found in order, obviously with the older periods below the upper ones. What happens if the layers, though, are switched - for example, the Cambrian is above the Cretaceous? Evolutionists might say that because of upheaval (earthquake, etc), the layers could have been dramatically changed. If so, then geologists would find evidence of the violence - crushed rock, powder, etc.





But the evolutionists have a problem with the Glacier National Park in Canada. There is a place called the Lewis Overthrust which has these layers and strata in a jumbled order. The area was first recognized in 1901, a land area over 300 miles long and 15­50 miles wide. The problem is they have found Precambrian strata atop Cretaceous, throwing the "time table" out of whack! The fossils are way out of order. Here's the kicker: there is no crushed rock debris, no powder or evidence of violent action. The contact line between the two different strata is what is kown as a "knife-edge", showing that the strata were water-deposited in that order rahter than mashed and mingled.





The entire evolutionary time scale is in jeopardy. I would suggest you visit a report on this occurence at

and read an excellent report by Douglas Sharp.
