What is the geological column?
It is numerous layers of rock that have different species in each layer. Since there are different species in each layer, some scientists believe that it proves evolution and the age of the earth.
Does the geological column exist?
Yes. It exists in at least 30 places around the globe and partially in hundreds of other areas.
Does the geological column prove evolution or that the earth is millions of years old?
No. Why not? It is based on too many assumptions.
Assumtion #1 - The column was formed over millions of years.
For example, if you look in textbooks today, they say that we know that a specific layer of the earth is millions of years old because the fossils and rock in that area are millions of years old. Then the textbook say that the rocks and fossils are millions of years old because the layer is millions of years old. That is plainly circular reasoning and still shocks me everytime I see it in one of my kids textbooks.
Assumption #2 - The geological column starts with less evolved species on the bottom and more evolved species on the top.
Some scientists and geologists state that this is evidence for evolution because the "older" species are lower in the earth. First of all, the geological columns don't always have "less evolved" species on the bottom. In fact, it is usually the more dense species that are on the bottom and the less dense species that are on the top.
So Where do the geological columns come from?
As we begin to study geology and the layers of rock around the world, it becomes more and more evident that these "geological columns" were actually formed very suddenly in a short period of time. The Bible's answer to this would be the great flood of Noah. This is the reason that we find more dense and smaller species on the bottom of the geological column and less dense and larger species near the top. As the flood subsided, everything that was stirred up then settled to the earth. We can actually find these flood formed layers in different depths throughout the earth. Again, this is evidence that there was a worldwide flood, not millions and billions of years.
What should we do with this information?
Now that you know that you were lied to your entire life in your schools. Go and tell someone the good news. Lobby to remove evolution from the schools. Contact your elected representatives. Tell your children or your parents. Don't argue with people, but just stand behind the truth. And finally, remember to thank Jesus Christ for making you and saving you from your sins.
I find it very interesting that until the last century most people believed that God created the world in 6 days and rested on the seventh. That's why we have a 7 day week. Unfortunately, due to a desire to escape from the reality of a holy God and Crea
