Evidence surfaces in Atlantic for Genesis Flood
More evidence pointing to the earth's rapid burial from the Noahic Flood has recently surfaced, further magnifying the problematic timescale of billions of years promoted by evolutionists.
Dr. Jake Hebert, research associate for the Institute of Creation Research in Dallas, Texas, says the latest discovery of large metallic clumps found on the ocean floor a few hundred miles east of Barbados in the Atlantic Ocean provide testimony that the earth's geography was formed rapidly within the past several thousand years not gradually over millions and billions of years.
"These metallic pellets provide strong evidence that most seafloor sediments were deposited rapidly, not slowly and gradually over millions of years," Hebert argues. "Are these nodules evidence of the Genesis Flood?"
Evolutionists getting a sinking feeling
The circular deposits typically made of iron, nickel, copper and other metals have been found around the world, but the hand-sized manganese deposits found in the North Atlantic have particularly drawn attention because of their size and concentration in the region. According to Hebert, those deposits put a monkey wrench in the gradual millions and billions of years that evolutionists need to make their theory float.
"Based upon radioisotope dating methods, secular scientists claim that nodules grow at the extremely slow rate of just a few millimeters per million years," Hebert points out. "Yet manganese nodules have consistently been observed growing in lakes and man-made reservoirs, as well as on debris fragments from World Wars I and II, at rates hundreds of thousands of times faster than these calculated rates. This is just one more indication that there are serious problems with radioisotope dating methods."
Hebert says the peculiar deposits pose two key problems that evolutionists can't look past.
"Two key observations about manganese nodules require explanation," Hebert contends. "First, nodules are thought to cease growing once buried beneath more than a few centimeters of sediment. Second, they are typically found only in the uppermost 50 centimeters (about 20 inches) of sediment."
According to Hebert, evolutionists don't have ground to stand on when trying to explain away the nodules while staying true to evolutionary processes.
"The general absence of nodules in the deeper sediments does not seem to be due to chemical dissolution, as even secular scientists acknowledge that this explanation does not fit the data," Hebert explains.

According to the ICR website:
The'campus' is 'situated'in the back of a usedtoy store, which is in a strip mall, which is located in an area of Dallas where due diligenceshould bepracticed when walking to and from one's car.
The website also states that thephysical address for the'campus'is intended for overnight delivery of donations, and for brief visits by appointment, only.
It would be a little easier to take the research more seriouslyifICR'sfacility detailscould bea smidgemore truthful.
