Perfectly Preserved

This is Ken Ham, president of the full-size Noah’s Ark attraction in Northern Kentucky.

Yesterday, we learned that fossils weren’t formed slowly over millions of years. They rapidly and catastrophically formed during the global flood of Noah’s day. So, is there evidence of this? Well, yes!

All over the world we find exquisitely preserved fossils. Some of these fossils even show soft tissue structures, like fossilized jellyfish. When a jellyfish washes up on a beach, it quickly “melts” in the sunshine. But fossil jellyfish are clearly and easily identifiable as jellyfish. They had to be buried very quickly before the sun could destroy them.

Fossils like these support the biblical account of a global flood.
