Have you ever wondered how the massive dinosaur kill zone in the middle of America happened? We're talking about three countries, 14 states, and a stretch over 1 ,800 miles long and 1 ,000 miles wide.

00:12

Over a million square miles are filled with the remnants of most known dinosaur species, and they're all mixed with other land animals, fish, birds, and all sorts of sea life.

00:22

The leading theory asserted by evolutionists is that an asteroid hitting the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico over 1 ,000 miles away from the heart of this disaster zone is why millions of dinosaurs are buried in mud and ash.

00:34

But that doesn't make sense, because the billions of fossils in this area were buried in multiple mud and ash layers from successive watery events.

00:43

There's also vast areas of crumpled and buckled geology from land masses that were laid down wet and then folded, and this action was obviously driven by rapidly subducting plates.

00:54

Evolutionists explain how oceanic plates, like the Farallon plate, slowly subducted over tens of millions of years under the

01:01

North American continent uneventfully, while the millions of dinosaurs now buried in this kill zone somehow just kept living and thriving.

01:08

Both secular and creation scientists agree that the Farallon plate subducted under North America, even carrying massive volcanic plateaus like the conjugate

01:17

Schatzky rise along with it going from the west to the east. But we disagree, and with good reason, that the dinosaurs somehow just kept peacefully thriving in this area while this was happening.

01:29

This subducting action would be like a spatula sliding beneath an undercooked pancake, creating massive folding and buckling just like we see all over North America today.

01:39

The process even explains the rapid and catastrophic formation of the Rocky Mountains. This happened just thousands of years ago during Noah's Flood, when the fountains of the

01:48

Great Deep were broken apart and the year -long process of the worldwide flood unfolded. Massive oceanic rifting on a worldwide scale created new seafloor that was pulled under the continents, creating cycles of tsunamis that occur when the seafloor binds and then releases, just like tsunamis are generated today.

02:05

This explains the multiple layers these creatures are found in as they were buried by the ever -increasing flood waters and tsunamis.

02:12

These dinosaurs were buried furiously, with over 90 % of them now found disarticulated or torn apart.

02:19

Many of them are even found choking on mud as they died, with their necks arched backwards. Widespread volcanism that occurred during this process also shows this happened quickly, over a year and not millions of years.

02:32

With no volcanoes in the Morrison Formation itself, where the bulk of these dead dinosaurs are found, logic demands that the huge volume of volcanic ash in the

02:40

Morrison Formation to have been erupted from mega volcanoes on the west coast, lofted and carried far to the east by wind.

02:48

The Morrison Formation's brushy basin member alone spans five states and includes over 4 ,000 cubic miles of volcanic material.

02:56

That's enough to cover the state of New Jersey in ash 740 meters deep, and there are plain indicators that this happened rapidly, not over millions of years.

03:05

How else can we explain this recently discovered massive dinosaur graveyard where 10 ,000 adult

03:11

Myosora were found buried in mud without a single young mixed in with the entire herd that was buried?

03:17

Every single dinosaur in the area was at least nine feet long. It sounds like the adult dinosaurs were stampeding away from the imminent danger of raging floodwaters.

03:27

Their young could not keep up and became engulfed in some lower part of the peninsula. These evidences sure point to the rapid and widespread catastrophe of the flood.

03:36

But do you know what seems even more convincing? Soft tissue found in dinosaur bones. Over the last few decades, scientists have been discovering soft tissues in dinosaur bones.

03:46

We're talking about over 50 peer -reviewed secular science journals that have now reported 14 bio -organic materials found in dinosaur bones.

03:54

They're finding blood cells, blood vessels, connective tissue, and even collagen, which has a maximum shelf life of just tens of thousands of years, with some stretching it out to a maximum of 900 ,000 years.

04:07

Either way, with a maximum shelf life of less than 1 million years, what's collagen doing in dinosaur bones that are supposedly 65 million years old?

04:16

Many dinosaur bones are even found unfossilized in places like Madagascar, Alaska, and Montana.

04:23

Even the founder of the largest dinosaur museum in the world admitted that usually most of the original bone is still present in a dinosaur fossil.

04:31

Just look at this soft, pliable dinosaur tissue. This type of bio -organic material has been found in the bones of several different dinosaur species.

04:39

It sure doesn't look like a 65 million year old rock, does it? When you step back and look at all this evidence, doesn't it look like the catastrophic worldwide flood described in the

04:49

Bible that happened just thousands of years ago? Make better sense of this evidence? Looking for answers about what the
