Dozens of cultures have stories that talk about an extremely large flood or even a worldwide flood. But what does the theory of evolution have to do with a worldwide flood? Everything, if scientific evidence can show that this worldwide flood took place in the former two to three hundred million years.

Is there really any evidence to support this idea? Actually there is global evidence. Each continent on the globe has oceanic fossils in it. In addition to this, there are marine fossils in the highest mountain ranges in the world. At the very minimum there is evidence to support that water covered the highest peaks.

If we interpret strata(layers of earth) in another way other than evolutionist view, we could say that flood waters, huge mudslides and quick burials caused the formation of the strata layers. It is extremely conceivable that this happened since floods have formed strata historically in incredibly brief stages of time. This is what occurred on Mt. St. Helens when water built up and resulted in flood waters forming layers of strata. These earth layers were certainly much more minute than the strata found at the Grand Canyon. But a global flood would be immensely more potent, forming earth layers that would be a great deal larger than Mt. St. Helens formed.

Evolutionary explanations have a much more difficult time explaining the strata formation with the fossils preserved inside. Their explanation is that these layers took thousands or even millions of years to form. Each fossil organism and creature must lie there until it is covered with the sedimentary rock. This would probably take as long as hundreds or thousand of years to accomplish (according to evolutionary time frames). How many organisms are going to lie around long enough to fossilize, especially considering that large amounts of moisture and water are present...which is known to increase decay rates overall.

Some of these fossils would have had to be made quickly. In particular complete moths and butterflies. From my understanding there is simply no scientific explanation to show how fossils have been created so slowly. A gigantic flood would explain much better and agrees with scientific observation while slow fossilization simply contradicts the scientific facts.

Another problem for the theory of evolution is that many of the rock layers have considerable bends in them without any sign that they broke (there are missing fractures). This could only happen if the layers of strata were soft (just as they might be in the case of a world-wide flood).

There is also the reality that there is soil missing from the rock layers all over the world. Soil should be found in each strata layer if they were formed at a slow speed. The one and only thing that properly explains this phenomena is global flood. The strata are formed from sedimentary rock, after all, which is rock created from water.

There is certainly plenty of evidence that points to the fact that there was a worldwide flood, or at the very least a very large one that would have decimated creatures all around the world that lived on land. If this is indeed the case, then evolution could never have happened (or the land creatures would have had to begin the evolutionary process all over again). Evidence, in this case, is completely against the theory of evolution.
