8. Massive fossil graveyards.

There are literally thousands of fossil graveyards all over the earth.
Here are just a few: Burgess Shale, Canada, Monte San Giorgio, Italy,
Santana Formation, Brazil, Green River formation, Wyoming. These
are just a few of the many fossil graveyards scattered all around the
world. Andrew Snelling said, “I find them to be extremely convincing
evidence for a global flood that rapidly and catastrophically picked up
land and marine creatures, mixed them together, then suddenly
deposited them in massive amounts of sediment to preserve them for
86
our eventual discovery. They give a stunning testimony to the global destructiveness of the flood.”
Fossil graveyards are important evidence for the global flood for a number of reasons: 1) they
demonstrate rapid burial in massive proportions, 2) they demonstrate unusual sediment conditions not
found today, 3) they demonstrate a wide variety of creatures preserved in communities, 4) they
regularly mix marine and terrestrial creatures, 5) they are found at all levels of the fossil record all over
87
the world.
9. Wrong order for evolution.

It has been reported that "80 to 85% of Earth's land surface does not have even 3 geologic periods
appearing in 'correct' consecutive order" for evolution.

10. Marine Fossils are EVERYWHERE!

Fossil remains of clams (found in the closed position, indicating they were
buried alive) have been found atop Mt. Everest. Sedimentary layers and
88
fossil remains seem to be a testimony to a past marine cataclysm. Massive
graves of marine fossils are found, even clumped together in tight
formations.

Fish fossils have been found in the highest mountains on earth. Marine
89
cephalopods with shells were found in Nepal in the Himalayas Mountains.
11. Flood Legends.

There are nearly 300 surviving Flood Legends passed down by ancient civilizations.
