The Biblical flood would have caused the death of all life on earth, except for those on the arc, which would have resulted in fossils that are now found. Fossils being found in different layers of rocks could have been a result of how they settled as the waters receded.

Are there three fossils from the Flood and how would they relate to breaking God's laws?

Oh honey, there's no scientific evidence to support the idea of a global flood causing fossils. And as for breaking God's laws, well, I think He's got bigger things to worry about than some old bones. Just live your life, be kind to others, and leave the fossil hunting to the paleontologists.


Why did Satan put fossils in the Earth?

To deceive the scientists into believing the earth is old and and that evolution happened. Satan didn't put fossils on earth! God made creatures, big and small. When the great flood came, it crushed everything into the ground. With multiple years of growth, dirt covered them, and now they are buried.


Why are there shark teeth fossils in the mountain of NC?

Shark teeth fossils found in the mountains of North Carolina are a result of the area being underwater millions of years ago. During that time, the movement of tectonic plates caused the seabed with shark teeth to be pushed up to form the mountains. The shark teeth fossils are evidence of the region's geological history and ancient marine ecosystems.


What evidence is there that there was actually a world flood?

Since the vast majority of scientists would not agree that Noah's Flood as related in the Bible is literally true, the 'scientific position' would be that there is no scientific proof for the event because it did not happen.However, many people coming usually from either a religious (usually fundamentalist Christian, or sometimes Islamic or Jewish) or alternative history perspective have attempted to prove that the Flood occurred using scientific, or pseudoscientific, means.The evidence produced in this way is of various types. Some have attempted to find the remains of Noah's ark on or around Mount Ararat as described in the Bible; many have claimed to have discovered the vessel, in various locations, using satellite imagery, exploration, or local knowledge. Although some intriguing shapes have been found, and unconfirmed reports have claimed to have taken samples showing e.g. wood of a great age, generally these discoveries turn out to be natural formations or hoaxes. A quick Google for 'Noah's ark found' will show you many examples of this.Others have drawn upon the universality of the Flood myth in worldwide cultures as showing that a global Flood must have occurred in antiquity. However, there are many more likely alternative explanations for these similar myths, which would include ancient traditions of localised flooding, rather than global (we do know that flooding was widespread at the end of the last Ice Age around 12,000 years ago); or common origins for some of the stories; the archetypal cultural fear of cataclysmic floods.The trouble with all of these sorts of arguments, especially if we are to consider them 'scientific', is twofold.First, most people who contend that the Flood occurred have already concluded that such an event happened, and simply look for evidence which supports their conviction. This is not a scientific approach, which would instead work the opposite way around (i.e. gather evidence, then theorise as to an explanation).Second, the issue is not simply that the evidence is poor that the Flood did happen; in actual fact, much of what we know about the Earth, its history and its ecosystems shows us that a global Flood as described in the Bible is impossible. The idea of a Flood is incompatible with what we know about, for instance, freshwater vs. saltwater-dwelling animals and environments (a global Flood would not result in what we see of these delicately balanced systems); what we know of the patterns of extinction in the world (i.e. that species have appeared and disappeared throughout the fossil record, with no one event wiping out most of life on Earth); what we know about molecular biology and genetic inheritance (species today do not originate from two or a small number of ancestors within the last few thousand years); and many other similar objections.For resources which claim to have scientific evidence for Noah's Flood, see for instance Answers In Genesis (www.answersingenesis.org).For an excellent discussion of the sceptical approach to the Flood, see the TalkOrigins discussion (http:/www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-noahs-ark.html).


Which theory explains why kangaroo fossils have been found in Africa?

The theory of continental drift explains how kangaroo fossils could have been found in Africa, as it suggests that continents were once connected as a single landmass called Pangaea. Over time, the continents drifted apart to their current positions, carrying fossils with them. This helps to explain how species like kangaroos, which are native to Australia, could have ended up in Africa in the past.

Many fossils found in arid or desert places are embedded in rock that is usually found under water. This proves that there must have been a lot more oceanic coverage in the past.
