What
do popcorn, fossils, and rain have in common? Read on and you will find out.
The
evolutionary scientists and evolutionary science are generally proud to
proclaim that the sedimentary layers in fossil records have the least advanced
and smallest life forms on the bottom and most advanced and usually largest on
top. Okay fine. I will post direct from Wikipedia and will quote the scientific
claim since quoting wiki is about as accurate as I believe many scientist and
scientific theories are much of the time (sarcasm intended)
"It
is possible to find out how a particular group of organisms evolved by
arranging its fossil records in a chronological sequence. Such a sequence can
be determined because fossils are mainly found in sedimentary rock. Sedimentary
rock is formed by layers of silt or mud on top of each other; thus, the
resulting rock contains a series of horizontal layers, or strata. Each layer
contains fossils which are typical for a specific time period during which they
were made. The lowest strata contain the oldest rock and the earliest
fossils, while the highest strata contain the youngest rock and more recent
fossils.
A
succession of animals and plants can also be seen from fossil records. By
studying the number and complexity of different fossils at different
stratigraphic levels, it has been shown that older fossil-bearing rocks
contain fewer types of fossilized organisms, and they all have a simpler
structure, whereas younger rocks contain a greater variety of fossils, often
with increasingly complex structures"
Okay...so
you have the picture in your head...
Smallest
and least evolved: Bottom
Largest
and most evolved: Top
Now...take
a freshly popped bag of popcorn. Preferably one that did not pop completely and
use all the unpopped kernels. Before you open the bag what do you normally do
to make the most tasty and rotund pieces come to the top and make the kernels
fall to the bottom? Better yet get one of those old school stove top Jiffy
Popcorn® tinfoil pans. When you want the kernels to shift to the bottom to be
nearest the heat. What do you do?
You
shake the bag or container.
In
doing this, air spaces or empty spaces are created between the other popped
corn. As spaces open they open from small to large. The first thing to fall through
the open spaces would be the smallest and densest. The unpopped kernels. This
continues until the smallest is on the bottom and the largest is on the top.
Now
transfer this concept to water. During an extended period of water being
disturbed and sediment being continually disturbed much of the water sediment
would become waterborne and like our bag of popcorn, the smallest densest
objects would settle first as they would fall through all the other debris
first. Shifting waters would continue to sift what has hit the floor of the
body of water until only the largest objects would be on top. Anybody reading
this ever use a sifter to pan for objects in a riverbed? Gold, Fossils? Small
stuff falls through large stuff stays on top or in the grating.
Now
let us look a the Biblical account of the flood in Genesis 7.
"And
the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up
the ark, and it was lift up above the earth. And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly
upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters. And the waters
prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under
the whole heaven, were covered. Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail;
and the mountains were covered. And all flesh died that moved upon the earth,
both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that
creepeth upon the earth, and every man: All in whose nostrils was the breath of
life, of all that was in the dry land, died." ~Genesis 7:17-22
The
first thing that should be noted in the passage above is the words
"increased greatly". The "greatly" means "with
vehemence". The waters increased upon the Earth with "great
vehemence". Secondly, "all flesh died that was on the
earth" or everything was destroyed that could breath air including
"beasts" or "dumb beasts; especially any large quadruped or
animal". The actual translation is closer akin to "every living substance". Everything
from land. Due to the toxicity of the water from so much garbage floating in it
it probably took out quite a bit of sea life also. Due to all the debris/dirt
suspended in the water fish could not breath through their gills and died. A
storm of this magnitude was probably quite aggressive or violent stirring up
the waters like shaking a thick powder into solution (with rather large
four-legged deceased chunks floating where? On the top...and then falling last
onto all the dead matter at the bottom). The word above that translates
"increased" or meh-ode' / מאד actually translates to a word
closer to: vehement/vehemently; or by implication, speedily. So there is a
double emphasis of vehemence when we read "increased greatly"
back-to-back. Fast waters would clearly agitate things and stir up things in the
water. Think World's Deadliest Jobs: Alaskan King Crab Fishermen during a storm
on the high seas (think sea-sick...rraaaauuuullpphhh). Verse 8 uses this word
twice in Hebrew back-to-back מאד מאד or "the waters had mastery
vehemently vehemently upon the earth" but is often translated
"prevailed exceedingly"...we lost some of the impact on this one.
Example: The Hebrew was sort of saying "DANGER DANGER" but the
translations to English often makes it sound more like "It was
dangerous". These waters were not just deep...they were rockin'.
So
what do we think happened when a storm raged outside the ark for so long a
period of time during the great flood of Genesis 7-8. A flood which nearly
every ancient culture has insisted actually happened in some shape or form
adding credence that a worldwide event as described actually happened? The
waters were in a tumult. Stirring, shifting and sifting objects. Small are laid
down first largest last in a continually shifting body of water. The technical
term is turbidity.
"Turbidity currents are sudden disturbances of the normally quite deep marine environment and can cause the geologically speaking instantaneous deposition of large amounts of sediment, such as sand and silt." ~Sedimentary Rock (Wikipedia)So what are we really dealing with here? Strata laid down over time over successive periods or strata laid simultaneously based on size of the objects and their density? BTW, Science must also deal with the Cambrian Explosion also.
"The Cambrian explosion has generated extensive scientific debate. The seemingly rapid appearance of fossils in the “Primordial Strata” was noted as early as the mid 19th century, and Charles Darwin saw it as one of the main objections that could be made against his theory of evolution by natural selection" ~Darwin's Dilemma-The Cambrian Explosion (Indigosociety.com) [Punctuated Equilibrium be damned, where's the proof for it?]Am I saying that the flawed science and spotty fossil record is wrong? Far be it for me assert such a thing. What I am doing is musing about yet another anomaly on the evolutionary cavalcade that continues to be rammed down many peoples throats without offering them the obvious viable alternatives like the "SoulJournaler popcorn fossil theory" of sedimentary fossil strata. Instead the viable alternatives are mocked instead of being approached intelligently and given credence. Slowly these "ridiculous" creationist or intelligent design arguments are gaining ground with little resistance.
Just some thoughts. It's not like I'm an expert or anything. Nothing to write home to mom about. I'm just sayin', ya know?
Anybody know where I put my ButterBuds®?
