Many people have questioned, if the Bible has humans and dinosaurs living at the same time, why don't we find them buried together?

00:08

We'll answer that question in this video. But first, some background. Genesis is clear that Adam and Eve were

00:14

God's last two creations. God gave them dominion over everything he had just created and commissioned

00:20

Adam to name all the creatures. So yes, all animals were present for this, even the dinosaurs.

00:27

We also know this was the case because everything under Adam and Eve's dominion began falling apart as the result of sin's curse.

00:35

Animals turned from vegetarian to meat eaters, plants grew thorns and thistles, and now food would be gained by tedious farming, not gardening in a sinless paradise.

00:46

All of creation still groans under the weight of this curse. In time, sin and depravity progressed beyond the point that the

00:53

Creator would allow. God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

01:03

The earth was also corrupt before God and was filled with violence and all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.

01:10

The term used for corrupted means marred, spoiled, ruined or rotted. The consequences of humankind's choice to reject

01:18

God had reached full measure. So God in his mercy judged the wickedness on earth.

01:24

He destroyed it with water, stating that he would destroy all flesh with the earth.

01:30

The earth itself would be the tool God would use to scrub humanity from existence and save the eight people on the ark.

01:37

Three Hebrew verbs provide additional insight to this process. The first verb used in 6 .17

01:43

and 7 .4 is makah, which means wipe out or obliterate. God proclaims that he is going to wipe out, obliterate mankind and all the animals associated with him, mammals, birds and creepers.

01:58

And this was actualized during the flood as reflected twice in 7 .23. 2

02:03

Peter also confirms that the world that then was, was completely deluged and destroyed.

02:10

Mainstream geology even admits to a worldwide flood but calls it something different. The late

02:15

Cretaceous transgression, evidenced by the buckling and folding of the continents that pushed 50 % of these fossil -bearing layers higher than the current sea level could have done.

02:26

The facts that the fossils are pushed higher than the sea level could have covered and that they're on buckled and folded mountains actually supports the biblical flood.

02:34

But more on this later. To understand what happened to humans during the flood, we first need to understand the geography and human population of the pre -flooded earth.

02:44

Before the flood, the continents were together in a Pangaea -like configuration.

02:50

Given the time span between creation and the flood, the human population was much smaller than today and they likely lived far away from inhospitable shallow seas and vast wetlands where creatures like T -Rex,

03:03

Spinosaurus, massive crocodiles and numerous other terrifying creatures lived. Let's face it, smart humans don't live right next to man -eaters like dinosaurs.

03:13

Even with modern weaponry, humans fight losing battles against predators much less fearsome than dinosaurs.

03:21

Just over a hundred years ago, it took only two man -eating lions to kill over 30 people during the construction of a railway in Uganda.

03:30

For nine months, these lions dragged workers from their tents and devoured them. The killing spree continued even after 20 armed guards tried killing the two lions with traps, ambushes and capable firearms.

03:44

It took them over 20 days to finally drop both lions, with each taking several shots from powerful rifles.

03:51

If two lions could do this, what about more formidable killing machines like Spinosaurus or giant alligators?

03:59

Indeed, humans would dwell far, far away from these types of animals. Next, let's turn to the fossil record in general.

04:06

After understanding the fossil record as a whole, we can understand why discovering human fossils is so rare.

04:13

The majority of the 1 .56 million fossil occurrences are sea creatures such as mollusks, brachiopods and arthropods.

04:22

Mammals represent only 8 % of the fossil record and less than 4 % of these are primates.

04:28

And only 12 % of the primates, fewer than 600, are in the Hominidae family.

04:33

That's only 0 .04 % of all recorded fossils, so it's no wonder finding human fossils is rare.

04:42

The same is true for the famous T. rex. We have only 32 nearly complete adult examples today, yet evolutionists recently estimated that 2 .5

04:52

billion have lived on Earth. That's a 0 .000001 % fossilization rate.

05:01

With such scant remnants of these massive pre -flood beasts, it's no wonder human fossils are so rare.

05:08

Applying this fossilization rate to humans, if there were 10 million humans alive at the time of the flood, we wouldn't expect to find even a single human fossil.

05:18

The fossil record is so full of marine fossils because the flood was a marine catastrophe.

05:24

Vertebrates like humans are not as common as other types of lifeforms, which helps explain why their fossils are so rare.

05:31

Next, let's take a look at the process of the year -long flood. The Bible records that the flood began when all of the fountains of the great deep burst open and the windows of heaven opened, resulting in torrential rainfall.

05:45

These linear rifts opened all over the deep ocean floors, and we can still see them around the globe today.

05:52

These rifts opened in the great deep and not on land, as some modern movies depict.

05:57

Given this, along with the biblical record showing that the flood waters rose on Earth for the first 150 days, humans had time to travel to higher ground and try to escape the flood's watery progressive surges they may have noticed from their dry upland dwellings.

06:14

Fossil databases show a progression of burial, not by time, but by place. First, the shallow seas, then coastal wetlands and swamp forests.

06:24

These animals did not stand a chance. As the waters progress higher, burial in muddy sediment is imminent.

06:31

An area of over 1 million square miles in the middle of America filled with dead dinosaurs mixed with marine life reflects this.

06:39

The fact that these creatures are buried in mud, sand, and ash absolutely demonstrates the process of catastrophic plate tectonics that occurred during the biblical flood.

06:50

The rifting and spreading seafloors brought megatons of mud and sand onto land by multiple tsunamis.

06:57

The subducting seafloor resulted in massive coastal volcanism like the Independence Dike Swarm in Southern California.

07:06

Mainstream geologists admit this system is responsible for covering half of America in ash layers so thick today we can find them spread across five states representing at least 4 ,000 cubic miles of ash.

07:19

This biblical flood explains perfectly why we find all of these dinosaurs buried in a matrix of mud, sand, and ash or all three mixed together.

07:29

Modern geology's so -called megasequences also confirm this progressive inundation.

07:35

Many megasequences contain sandstone at the bottom and sedimentary formations with decreasing grain sizes above it.

07:43

Evolutionary geologists believe that megasequences represent six massive flooding events that happened over millions of years but creation geologists believe they were stacked like pancakes over just days or weeks by numerous tsunami waves during the year -long flood.

07:59

We can even confirm this process from recorded examples in recent history where subduction -caused tsunamis laid down layers formed by the water coming and going.

08:09

The tsunamis that were occurring in cycles during the flood provide a good insight as to why human fossils are so rare.

08:16

Tsunamis in recent times bear this out with examples like the 2004 tsunami in Southeast Asia that left 43 ,000 victims missing.

08:26

Much of the pre -flood world has been mapped today using 3 ,000 stratigraphic columns around the world that show the thickness and extent of these megasequences.

08:35

They also reveal that the highest pre -flood elevations were likely only 3 ,000 to 4 ,000 feet.

08:42

These maps show exactly what we would expect given the biblical description of the flood. They reveal that the shallow seas were filled in first by the earliest deposits and the lowlands and uplands were later overcome as the water level increased as described in Genesis 7.

08:59

These 3 ,000 columns and the fossil record reveal the pre -flood shallow seas, lowlands, and uplands as three broad pre -flood environments.

09:09

The first three megasequences buried the shallow seas that existed across several continents.

09:15

Fossil records show that these early flood sediments contain almost exclusively shallow marine plants and animals with very few trees or land animals in their earliest megasequences.

09:27

These layers were likely deposited during the first 40 days of the flood. We can also see an area in the central

09:34

USA that ICR refers to as the Dinosaur Peninsula where the dinosaurs made their last stand.

09:41

This peninsula shows almost no early flood sedimentation from the first three megasequences.

09:47

It was likely a lowland and swampy region. The lowland areas, like Dinosaur Peninsula, were swamped next with the fourth megasequence, the

09:56

Absaroka. This megasequence produced waves that deposited sediments onto the land as water levels continued to rise, burying the lowland and coastal wetland areas such as the

10:08

Karoo Supergroup across much of southern Africa and the Coconino Sandstone that stretches across the southwestern

10:15

US. This megasequence is responsible for laying down the first major coal deposits such as the

10:22

Pennsylvanian Lycopod Forest. We also find land animals mixed with marine creatures and plants at this level, indicating the flood was impacting significant amounts of pre -flood land, including parts of the

10:36

Dinosaur Peninsula. This explains why the first dinosaur fossils are also found at this level globally.

10:43

Now we're likely between 40 and 90 days of the flood. Some humans have likely been buried by this time, while others are moving towards higher ground.

10:52

Next comes the fifth megasequence, the Zuni. The Zuni completely destroys the lowlands and the dinosaurs.

11:00

Even the Dinosaur Peninsula gets swamped at this point, along with most of the highest hills. Here, we're at day 150, and all animals, including all humans, not on the arc were dead.

11:14

Towards day 140 to 150 of the flood, even more humans could have made it to the upland areas.

11:21

The maps show that all of the megasequences thin out towards the shield areas on all continents, implying they were deposited on the flanks of these topographic highs.

11:31

These shields are exposed crystalline crust areas that are likely remnants of pre -flood uplands.

11:36

Most don't have sedimentary rock, because erosion after the flood stripped away sediment layers deposited earlier by the flood.

11:45

Genesis 720 states that the highest hills were flooded by only about 22 feet of water, so thick sedimentary deposits could not build up.

11:54

We can see some of the high water remnants in Hudson Bay, Michigan, and Illinois. The sixth and final megasequence, the

12:02

Tejas, shows fossils of the plants and animals of the uplands areas that existed in the pre -flood world.

12:08

Most of these are large mammals, birds, flowering plants, and any human fossils.

12:14

This is because some pre -flood humans likely survived until day 150 and congregated on the highest ground possible.

12:22

As the water levels peaked, the remaining humans would have drowned and been washed away in all directions and many out to sea.

12:30

Unlike many animals, their remains would not likely be found clustered together or buried deep enough in sediment for preservation as fossils.

12:39

Not only does this process explain why human fossils are not found with dinosaur fossils, it explains why dinosaurs are not found in the earliest flood rocks laid down by the first three megasequences.

12:52

They simply lived in different pre -flood locations, with the first three megasequences mostly flooding shallow seas.

12:59

Dinosaurs were not overcome until the fourth and fifth megasequence, when the lowlands began flooding about day 40 of the flood.

13:07

Humans and many large mammals living in upland regions may not have been flooded until about days 130 to 150.

13:15

This process also explains why the plants in each region were engineered by God to supply each individual animal's needs, keeping dinosaurs and larger mammals alive in their respective regions.

13:27

Animals live near their preferred food sources, including predators. Herbivore mammals prefer flowering plants at higher elevations, and dinosaurs prefer lowland plant foods, including ferns, conifers, cycads, and some grasses.

13:43

In fact, all of the major subdivisions of the fossil record are best explained in terms of a progressive flood.

13:50

This is quite obvious because the marine fossils are found in the earliest layers, followed by plants and animals from the lowland environments, including dinosaurs.

13:58

It's only on top of these layers where we find the plants and animals from the pre -flood uplands, which include many of the larger mammals and any human remains.

14:08

This, along with their separate habitats, explains why no lions, tigers, bears, or cows got buried with dinosaurs.

14:16

Dinosaurs and humans lived together at the same time, but likely did not coexist in the same locations.

14:22

This is why we have found no human fossils mixed in with dinosaur fossils, nor trilobites, for that matter.

14:29

Just look at where all the T. rex fossils have been found. Certainly, they were living in an area that humans did not likely dwell.

14:37

This area was infested with killing machine dinosaurs by the time of the flood. And isn't it interesting that the fossil record shows a 100 % species -wide extinction event for every

14:48

T. rex spread across a 1 ,500 -mile range, along with hundreds of other species that all decided to die at the same time?

14:56

It doesn't make much sense that an asteroid landing over 2 ,000 miles away from many of these fossils could be responsible for the kill event.

15:05

Subducting ocean floors from catastrophic plate tectonics provides a much better explanation, because these creatures are found buried in mud, sand, and ash, the three exact products we would expect from catastrophic rifting and subduction -related volcanoes during the flood.

15:21

It's very easy for creatures to live on Earth at the same time, but never cross paths.

15:27

Have you ever seen a tiger, panda, kangaroo, or giraffe living together in the wild? Just because animals are not found together does not mean they do not live in the same world at the same time.

15:39

Coelacanths are another great example, because their fossils are found below and alongside dinosaurs, but because they're not found above the dinosaurs, evolutionists thought they were extinct.

15:50

Then, in 1938, a fishing boat hauled one up from the Indian Ocean. You can even go swimming with them today.

15:58

We also don't find human bones buried with coelacanths, but we live together today.

16:03

The rarity of human fossils found in dinosaur lairs simply shows they were not living in the same areas.

16:10

The world has conditioned us to believe that dinosaurs were a class of animals that only lived during a certain era along the evolutionary timeline.

16:18

Nothing could be further from the truth. God created all land creatures on day 6, right before he made humans, and put us in charge over everything, even naming all the animals.

16:30

The truth is that there are many animals alive today that are found buried with dinosaurs, including over 120 bird species, even so -called modern birds like parrots, owls, penguins, ducks, loons, albatross, cormorants, and sandpipers.

16:47

How does this fit with the contemporary idea that dinosaurs evolved into birds? The fact is that many animals have gone extinct over time, including many of the larger creatures after the flood because of the changed climate, limited food supply, and being hunted by humans.

17:04

If humans were the last ones to be buried, they would be the first ones to be washed off the continental shelves.

17:10

The last creatures to get buried in the flood were the first creatures to be erased off the top burial layers as water began sheeting off the continents during the

17:19

Tegus megasequence. This phase is also obvious with the massive underwater canyons formed by runoff on the edges of most continents.

17:28

Also, consider that if there were 10 million people alive at the time of the flood, if we divide this by 700 million cubic kilometers of sediment, we would only have one human for every 70 cubic kilometers of rock, and that's assuming all of their bodies didn't get eviscerated by the flood.

17:46

Just because people died does not mean they became fossils. This is especially true given the subduction occurring during the flood, which served to resurface most of the planet.

17:57

This is why fossilization is so hit and miss, with several creatures that likely lived at the same time never found buried together.

18:05

What's really telling is the fact that all of the continents exhibit the same basic geological pattern.

18:11

This global pattern requires a global explanation. How else can we explain all the continents showing the same patterns of inundation at the same time, and burying the same fossils at the same levels?

18:24

The global flood described in Genesis gives us the best answer. Given all of this evidence, we think it's quite obvious that humans were wiped off the face of the

18:33

Earth during the flood, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be able to find human footprints left during the flood, or their flood -buried remains in the

18:41

Earth today. Next, let's take a look at some of these possibilities, but keep in mind that we can't go back in time and see exactly who made these footprints, or how these human fossils were entombed and when, so consider these examples with this in mind.

18:56

Hey, hey! Hey, Jake! Thanks for meeting with me again. Good to see you, man. Good to see you, too. Hey, what are you drinking?

19:02

Cold brew. How about yourself? A chai tea latte, yeah. Perfect. Hey, you remember our talk last week about the flood and fossil remains and all that stuff?

19:11

Yeah. Like, I'm kind of obsessed over it. Did you now? Yeah. So I kind of tore into every resource

19:19

I could find, from creationist and secular sources. I found dozens. Found some crazy, interesting stuff.

19:25

Want to see it? Sounds awesome. Are you going to run it by our favorite science professor? Oh, yeah.

19:30

Hey, how was he when it came to creation evidence? You know, when you challenged him? He had an evolutionary answer for everything.

19:38

It kind of shook me for a while. That was until I remembered what I was talking to you about last week, and that is

19:46

I'm sorry, remind me of that again? Scripture alone. Basically, God's word has checked out so many times and in so many ways, and it always comes up true.

19:54

We need to let that be our authority. Oh, no, I get it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So don't put physical evidence that we find about the flood or other topics above what

20:02

God shows us in authority with his scripture, right? Yeah. Otherwise, we could end up endlessly running down rabbit holes, placing whatever we find above scripture.

20:10

Or if the so -called evidence turns out to not be true, that can really shake our face. Oh, yeah, I gotcha.

20:15

But there's no way Bradley can answer this, okay? The evidence is too good. So for starters, right?

20:22

Did you know that dozens and dozens of human footprints have been found alongside dinosaur footprints? Or even in dinosaur layers.

20:28

It's all over the world. Yeah, but it's been a while since I've looked into them. Well, hey, check this out.

20:35

So check out these human prints at the Paluxy River in Texas. For 100 years, they've been digging up dinosaur tracks in the riverbed right next to human footprints.

20:43

Whoa. Oh, here's the Taylor Tracks, where they found 14 human prints right next to dinosaur prints.

20:49

These are cool. But didn't several creation scientists classify these human prints as just eroded dinosaur prints?

20:55

Well, yeah, yeah, but it sure looks like they have heels and toes in a lot of these. Check out these human prints stepping in dinosaur prints.

21:01

I mean, look, it looks clearly human. They are very human -like. One of them even looks like a human print with toes over the edge of a dinosaur print.

21:09

Some of them even show dinosaurs stepping in human prints after the human print was made. Or even coming in sideways.

21:15

See? Are there others? Let's see.

21:20

Uh, I know I have them in here somewhere. Yeah, there's the Riles Track, the Morris Track, and the Willett Print, excavated from a limestone ledge near Dinosaur Valley State Park.

21:29

Yep, there's the very famous Delk Print that shows a human -like footprint intruded by a tridactyl dinosaur print.

21:36

Pretty interesting stuff here. CT scans show both tracks were made before the mud hardened. Makes it really hard to fake.

21:43

So is it just in Texas where they found these tracks? Oh no, no, not even. Here, they're found in several places.

21:49

Here, there's the Zapata Track and Permian Limestone in New Mexico. They date back to over 250 million years and, of course, that's using conventional dating.

21:56

But get this, Smithsonian Magazine even said that these tracks were a mystery, calling them problematic.

22:02

Not only because they look human, but because they were right next to the tracks that were massive, looked like mammals and birds that supposedly hadn't evolved yet.

22:10

Get this, evolutionists haven't even tried to debate the authenticity of these yet. Or the human -like appearance of this one.

22:18

Convincing. What about the footprints supposedly made by our alleged human ancestors? Oh yeah, you're talking about the

22:24

Laetoli footprints, supposedly made by Lucy, huh? That sounds familiar.

22:30

Weren't they a long way from her? Yep. Yeah, about a thousand miles away from where Lucy was discovered.

22:35

But these are obviously human. They didn't even find Lucy's feet with her fossil, but they say that her kind made these prints a thousand miles away.

22:43

Here, check this out. Some of these prints are even ten inches long. That's the size of a nine -and -a -half shoe.

22:50

How could a little three -and -a -half -foot ape supposed to make those, huh? Yep, sounds like a stretch. These prints don't even look anything like ape footprints.

22:56

Nope. Check this out. Yeah, about twenty years ago, they found these human -looking prints in Miocene rocks that evolutionists date to about 5 .7

23:07

million years. It's on the island of Crete. These prints put humans on the scene millions of years before they even supposedly evolved.

23:15

The researchers said the tracks were human -like because they lacked claws, were bipedal, plantigrade, pentadactyl, and strongly intexonic.

23:23

Man, you should take a deep dive into this. It would take me a while to investigate all this stuff.

23:28

But you know, Bible -believing Christians wouldn't be surprised if these turned out to be true. Because we know that all creatures were formed at God's command just thousands of years ago.

23:37

Well, yeah, I get that. It's just, this evidence sounds extra, over -the -top convincing, you know?

23:43

Well, getting back to human and dinosaur prints, check this out, okay? Just a year ago, a team documented some human -looking tracks that intersect right through dinosaur tracks.

23:53

It's at the Calorco site in Bolivia. This place has over 5 ,000 prints from almost 300 dinosaur species.

24:00

I heard about those. There's this huge rock wall that's 80 meters high, 1 ,200 meters long, and tilted up 73 degrees.

24:07

Yep, see? Got it right here. Yeah, all these prints show hundreds of dinosaur species scampering from high ground during the final stages of the

24:14

Flood, even with some humans doing the same. Crazy, right? Yeah. Call me a skeptic, but I think you ought to check this out even more before you talk to Professor Bradley.

24:23

Did you find anything about fossilized human remains, like skeletons buried in the layers with dinosaurs? Yeah. Well, I remember what you talked about with the worldwide disastrous nature of the

24:34

Flood and how it'd be very unlikely we'd find fossilized humans. I know there was 150 days before the

24:39

Flood finally reached its peak, so people would have to go up to high ground, but even then, the remaining people that did reach the high ground would have been picked off by the receding floodwaters.

24:49

So I know it's unlikely, but I think I have some possibilities. Like what?

24:57

Well... Yeah, here. In the 1970s, a copper mining company in Utah discovered two fossilized human skeletons that were buried deeply in layers that are supposedly more than 65 million years old.

25:10

The first skeletons found here were under 15 feet of material, including five feet of solid rock. They were still joined together and were stained green with copper carbonate.

25:19

Eight more skeletons were found here in the 90s, including women and a baby. And these were buried even deeper in the hillside.

25:25

See, there's no way this could be an ancient burial site because the bones here were buried 50 feet deep in undisturbed, hard layers of limestone.

25:33

They also don't think the bones were recently buried because they were disassembled, highly mineralized, tested to be very old by radiocarbon dating, and had no detectable collagen.

25:41

Yes, but that's just one spot with human remains, Jake. Professor Bradley would never let you get away with that.

25:47

Hang on. All right. So in 1805, they found the Guadalupe skeleton. They pulled it out along with a two -ton limestone block and put it on display in the

25:56

British Museum of Natural History for 50 years. In 1985, geologist John McKay surveyed the fossil site and confirmed it came from miocene deposits dating between 5 and 23 million years on a normal dating scale.

26:09

That's way before humans were ever supposed to be on the scene. And the fact that it's encased in limestone sure makes it seem possible that people existed before the

26:15

Flood. Oh, yeah. I went to geologist John McKay's talk and he told us about this time where he took a trip to where the fossil was actually found.

26:22

Check it out. Are there any human fossils? Well, I was actually engaged in searching for a human fossil because I'd published an article by a

26:33

Christian author about a fossil that had been put in the basement of the British Museum once evolution became popular.

26:39

Then I got into trouble. I was the editor of the Creation magazine at the time. The head of the British Museum said,

26:44

How dare you! And I said, Well, you publish, you give me an article and if it's correct I'll publish it.

26:50

So I published their version and I noticed one thing in common in the two articles. Neither the

26:55

British Museum nor the original Creation's author had been to where this human fossil came from.

27:01

Oh, man. So John McKay, being John McKay, when I packed these bags went to the jungles and actually had a good look on this place.

27:09

Number one, it had never been mapped geologically. Wow. The French used to own it so they mapped it to here, mapped it from there but the place where the fossil came from was not on any geological map.

27:20

That was very interesting. Secondly, I mapped it. Thirdly, I reported back to the

27:26

British Museum and I said, What you've said is wrong. Here's the maps. Give the guy full credit.

27:31

He said, Oh. Oh. You're right. Right? So if that was correct the map -wise, that made this fossil what the

27:39

Creationist author said supposedly millions of years old. But anyway, I said,

27:45

Now that I'm here can I see your human fossil? Sure. So down we went to the basement.

27:51

Here's this petrified woman in limestone. Definitely. She was stone. Totally, right? Laid out there and really in limestone.

28:00

And I said to Dr. Christopher Stringer, Head of Human Fossils at the Natural History Museum, a very prestigious place.

28:06

I said, How many human fossils do you know of? He said, Oh, about 30 ,000. I thought,

28:13

What? I said, Why don't we read about them? He said, Well, now there's about 2 ,000 to 3 ,000 in the official lists.

28:21

There's another 10 ,000 in the unofficial lists. And there's another 10 ,000 to 20 ,000 after that in the if you need to know list.

28:30

Right? And I thought, Isn't that interesting? That's a good point. So there are really human fossils.

28:36

I've seen one of them personally and it's as human as you and me, right? But, put that into position, there weren't a huge number of people at Noah's Day anyway.

28:46

Right? And even if they did get fossilised, it would have been in pretty much the scenario that Dan has mentioned.

28:52

Catastrophic, destructive. You know, as I like to tell them, they were judged by water. Now they're judged by fire.

28:57

They're called petroleum. He was a really nice guy. Okay, that's a lot to think about.

29:03

But you know, that even some creation ministries and scientists disagree about a lot of these findings. Much less secular scientists.

29:10

So, when are you going to run up by Professor Bradley? Next week. He'll give me the whole class time. That's good,

29:16

Jake. So, what if Professor Bradley debunks everything you have to say? I mean, there's no way he can.

29:22

The evidence is overwhelming. But if he does, do you just give up on your faith? No. But, I don't know, it's rock solid.

29:30

You know, pun intended. Jake, I want to make sure you're not hanging all your faith on whether this evidence checks out or not.

29:37

I learned that anchoring my faith in the truth of Scripture is a better way. That's good advice.

29:43

What about you? What would you say? Jake, even if all these things you've shown me turn out not to be true, it still wouldn't shake my faith.

29:50

Because I know God's word is true. But it wouldn't surprise me if this evidence and others like it turned out to be true.

29:56

Because it's what we expect to see from a biblical worldwide flood. Right? I mean, from a big picture perspective, there's just way too much of this evidence for it all to be intelligible or wrong.

30:06

There seems to be a pattern here of finding footprints and remains in places we're not supposed to find them. But, do you think it's wrong to look into this extra evidence?

30:15

I don't think it's wrong, Jake. Just remember, the world is never going to be convinced by your evidence alone that God created the world and that the

30:25

Bible is true. It takes an act of God to bring people to Christ. The evidence just gets some obvious roadblocks out of the way.

30:32

Also, remember that no matter what science seems to say for or against your faith, start with the word and use that to determine whether what the world is showing you is true.

30:43

That's great advice. Yeah, well, hey man, thanks for your time. Seriously, I appreciate it.

30:49

Hey, before you head out, let's pray for the heart of Professor Bradley. Yeah, sounds good. Now, it's not going to shake the faith of Christians if these human footprints and remains aren't legit.

31:02

We don't need them to support our faith, but at the same time, it wouldn't surprise us if evidences like these and others exist because they would fit what we expect to see from a biblical worldwide flood.

31:14

If there was a global flood, we would expect legends of the event all over the world. We would also expect the legends that have the highest overlap with the original biblical account to radiate out from where civilization dispersed shortly after the flood.

31:29

This is exactly what we find with at least six flood myths from the ancient Near East. We have the

31:35

Eridu Tablet, Enuma Elish, Atrahasis Epic, Simmons Ark Tablet, Sumerian King List, and the

31:44

Epic of Gilgamesh. Most of these include obvious elements from the biblical account such as God or God's punishing mankind.

31:52

One chosen person and family along with animal representatives. A vessel built to specs, surviving the event, birds finding dry land, and even sacrifice afterwards.

32:04

The amazing thing is that these legends originate close to where the Ark landed and where over 70 language groups were spread around the world from the

32:13

Tower of Babel. But it didn't stop there. The stories of the worldwide deluge continued around the globe as people dispersed, making it all the way to North and South America where even today hundreds of deluge legends are found in most native people groups.

32:30

Many of these have striking echoes of the biblical account. But as expected, the legends that are closest to where the

32:36

Ark landed have the strongest similarities. The original biblical account is the most feasible one with an

32:43

Ark that actually works, time enough to build it, and a timeline long enough for a worldwide flood.

32:49

By contrast, the mythical accounts that emanate from this same region only grow more and more mythical over time.

32:57

In history, we oftentimes find that historical accounts grow to be more mythical over time.

33:02

But mythical accounts never get more historical. This is exactly what we see when comparing the

33:09

Bible's flood account to the legends in the same area. Let's summarize. There are many reasons why human remains are so rare in dinosaur layers.

33:18

We start at first with the extremely catastrophic nature of the flood, which is obvious to see when looking at the disassembled dinosaur fossil record, with more than 97 % of their remains found disarticulated, and less than 3 % found even somewhat complete.

33:36

The biblical record fits this evidence tightly, as God promised to wipe out humans and resurface the face of the

33:43

Earth. We also covered the fact that even secular geologists admit to a worldwide flood but called it something different, acknowledging that fossils are higher than current ocean levels could have covered.

33:55

This reinforces catastrophic subduction and mountain folding during the flood. The recent analysis on massive fold in the

34:04

Grand Canyon support that the folding happened recently and when the mountains were still soft and wet.

34:10

The fossils on both sides of the rapidly separated continents are matching and correlated and are found buried in the mud responsible for their death.

34:19

The Sloss megasequences also come from secular geology and line up perfectly with the

34:25

Bible's flood account. We also covered that humans would not be living near swamplands filled with man -eating beasts that are unmatched today.

34:33

We looked at the fossil records of the rapidly separating full of marine fossils, with only a small fraction including reptiles and mammals.

34:41

We considered the rarity of T -Rex fossils and compared this to humans. We reviewed the gradual nature of the flood that gave humans up to 150 days to find high ground before they were wiped out.

34:55

The 3 ,000 stratigraphic columns around the world revealed that the shallow seas were filled in first by the earliest deposits and the lowlands and uplands where humans likely lived were later overcome as the water level increased, just as described in Genesis 7.

35:11

The cycling tsunamis from the flood rapidly laid down the stratified layers in which the dinosaurs are found, often times found encased in mud, sand, and ash, exactly the blend we would expect given the runway subduction and volcanism during the flood.

35:28

Volcanic systems like the Independence Dyke Swarm laid down thousands of cubic miles of ash that dwarfed the output of any system in recorded history.

35:37

The Dinosaur Peninsula shows where the dinosaurs made their last stand in the lowland areas. The Zuni megasequence wiped out these lowlands at the zenith of the flood and the humans that had survived up to that point were finally wiped out as the upland areas were swamped at the 150 -day mark.

35:56

The final runoff stages of the flood likely washed away the humans that had lasted the longest, carrying them out to sea and burying them in the mega -sand deposits on the edges of the continents.

36:07

We also looked at how improbable it is to find such remains today, especially given the amount of sedimentary deposits laid down by the flood.

36:16

Next, we investigated some human fossils that may have been pre -flood as well as many footprints that may have been made before or during the flood.

36:25

We wrapped up by looking at some worldwide flood legends and how they spread all over the world after the flood.

36:32

One thing we didn't cover is the mounds of evidence that dinosaurs and humans did in fact live together.

36:39

We have the Bible's account that God put Adam and Eve in charge over all the animals, naming all the animals, including dinosaurs.

36:48

We also have the Book of Job that includes the obvious description of a sauropod dinosaur called

36:53

Behemoth and the fearsome Leviathan, which was likely a Deinosuchus. Outside of the

36:59

Bible, we have volumes of recorded dragon on human encounters, including over 80 of such accounts in Britain alone.

37:07

We also have numerous drawings, mosaic artworks, carvings, figurines, and artifacts from ages past where humans clearly documented dinosaurs that lived after the flood, calling them dragons.

37:20

Then we have numerous credible historians who have documented dinosaur living in their lifetime.

37:26

Beyond just historical records, we have over 120 secular science publications that have documented 16 types of bioorganic materials that are found today in dinosaur bones.

37:38

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.

37:50

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?

38:00

You see, this isn't a battle over the facts or the evidence. It is a tug -of -war over worldviews, the way we choose to see the data, and how we frame it within our perspectives.

38:12

To the Christian who believes in creation, the case for dinosaurs living with humans is obvious.

38:18

No more evidence is necessary. To the hardened atheist, no amount of evidence will change their minds, even the plain data presented in this video.

38:27

If you've just watched this video and you're in the middle, take the next step by exploring the evidence.

38:33

We've provided links in the description below to take you on this journey. In closing, we would like to share why we make these videos.

38:41

For those who are already Christians, we hope these videos strengthen your faith. It's important that Christians know they can trust

38:49

God's word all the way back to the beginning, especially in a world saturated with evolution teaching.

38:55

To those being drawn to faith in Christ, trusting in God's word is part of that process.

39:02

Even though you might not fully believe in these things now, we pray you will grow in trust and understanding that God's word is both scientifically and historically credible all the way back to the beginning.

39:14

Your faith journey begins with repentance and turning away from your sins, realizing that Christ suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God.

39:26

In the words of Jesus, Most assuredly, I say to you, He who hears my word and believes in Him who sent me has everlasting life and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.
