14. History is too short.

According to evolutionists, Stone Age Homo sapiens existed for 190,000 years before beginning to make
written records about 4,000 to 5,000 years ago. Prehistoric man built megalithic monuments, made
beautiful cave paintings, and kept records of lunar phases. Why would he wait two thousand centuries
lxx
before using the same skills to record history? The Biblical time scale is much more
lxxi
likely.

15. Living fossils
Jellyfish, graptolites, coelacanth, stromatolites, Wollemi pine, and hundreds more have
not changed. That many hundreds of species could remain so unchanged, for even up to
billions of years in the case of stromatolites, speaks against the millions and billions of
years being real.

16. Discontinuous fossil sequences.
Coelacanth, Wollemi pine, and various "index" fossils, which are
present in supposedly ancient strata, are missing in strata
representing many millions of years since, but are still living
today. Such discontinuities speak against the interpretation of
the rock formations as vast geological ages—how could
Coelacanths have avoided being fossilized for 65 million years,
for example?

17. Lack of plant fossils in many formations containing abundant animal/herbivore fossils.
The Morrison Formation (Jurassic) in Montana and the Coconino Sandstone in the Grand Canyon have
many trackways (animals) but are almost devoid of plants. Implication: these rocks are not ecosystems
of an "era" buried in situ over eons of time, as evolutionists claim. The evidence is more consistent with
catastrophic transport than burial during the massive global Flood of Noah's day. This eliminates
supposed evidence for millions of years.
