10. Fossils and the Fossil Record

Plants and animals today are dependent on each other in symbiotic relationships and for essential chemicals. According to the theory of evolution, it takes millions of years for fossils to form. This is not what we find in nature. Plants and animals decompose within a few days of their demise. Fossils are made by instantaneous burial. If the earth has existed for 4.5 billion years as evolutionists claim, there was ample time for every plant and animal to be fossilized. Yet we do not find this in nature. We only find plants and animals as they exist today and not in any stages of evolution. Facts about the fossil record and how different types of fossils are formed shows that fossils are most likely made by being buried alive by sediment during a flood.

All fossils are of species that exist today, or are extinct due to some calamity such as a flood or ice age. Fossils of all plants and animals have not changed over millions or billions of years. All fossils appear to require the same essential molecules, elements, and atmosphere that plants and animals require today. There is probably no fossil of any plant or animal having ever lived without one or more of its essential organs. The fossil record and common sense suggest that plants and animals were created as complete living organisms as we know them today. These requirements would also apply to dinosaurs, which only differ from other animals in size and shape. Dinosaurs also had brains, eyes, ears, and noses all in approximately the same place as all animals today, circulatory systems, digestive systems, blood, legs, spinal columns and all the other body parts that we see in animals today.

Today's plants and animals are the same as in the fossil record, except for dinosaurs and a few other species. It is reasonable to assume that the same relationships have existed since life began. Plants and animals that live today are found unchanged in fossils. The environment at creation was the same as today, but of better quality. Minerals depend on other minerals in life processes. Carbon dioxide and water depend on minerals and on each other to produce life. If one were missing, there would be no life. The ozone layer depends on carbohydrates, and carbohydrates depend on the ozone layer. All life depends on carbohydrates in the ozone layer, the ozone layer, and acidic, carbonated, ozonated rain.

Organs of plants and animals depend on carbon dioxide, water, minerals, and on other organs. Plants depend on carbon dioxide, oxygen, water, minerals, all organs, animals and other plants. Animals depend on carbon dioxide, oxygen, water, minerals, all organs, plants and other animals. Therefore, all life had to be created at the same time. This could not have been an accident. Everything that exists depends on the simultaneous existence of every other thing that exists, not the sudden accidental appearance of things popping into existence millions of years apart. Fossils and the fossil records confirm it.
