transition than we had in Darwin’s time. By this I mean that some of the classic cases of Darwinian change in the fossil record, such as the evolution of the horse in North America have had to be discarded or modified as a result of more detailed information.” Conflicts between Darwin and Paleontology, Field Museum of Natural History Bulletin, Vol. 50, No. 1, 1979, pp. 22-29.
A 100 million fossils have been found and identified—yet all are distinct species. So there is still no evidence for evolution.
Carbon dating
Radioactive Carbon 14 is formed in the upper atmosphere by the interaction of cosmic particles and Nitrogen. Radiocarbon dates are based on the assumption that the atmospheric ratio of Carbon14 to Carbon12 has been constant in the past and is identical to the present.
Radiocarbon dating is calibrated using tree rings. As the oldest specimens they could use for this will only be a few thousand years old, can the dating method be valid for ages greater than this?
Genesis chapter 1 verses 6 to 8 say, “And God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water.” So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so. God called the expanse “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning–the second day.” Could there have been a canopy of water vapour surrounding the earth? A pre-Flood vapour canopy would cause pre-Flood fossil specimens to appear to be very old because the atmospheric nitrogen would be effectively screened from cosmic particles. Hence Carbon 14 production would be very small. As a consequence fossils could appear to be millions of
