Another confirmed prediction regarding Noah's Flood was just published the other day.
So rather than just link a technical article, I thought I would break it down for you.
But first, let's go back in time and set up the prediction and why it was made in the
first place.
In 1858, young earth creationist Antonio Snyder Pellegrini predicted that the earth's continents
were moving on plates and that they once all fit together in the past into one large supercontinent.
This prediction was later confirmed to be true, and now all of secular science uses
his work today and agrees with it.
Later in 1987, young earth creationist Dr. John Baumgartner proposed the original pre-flood
supercontinent, which God made in Genesis 1, was surrounded by cold ocean floor rocks
and beneath these were the warmer mantle rocks.
He stated that since heat rises and cold rocks sink, the ocean floor was prime for a trigger
for them to begin sinking into the mantle.
That trigger came at the start of the flood when a massive crack opened in the ocean floor
as the fountains of the great deep were broken open.
Once this crack opened and the floor began to sink, the plates would have moved rapidly
until all of the cold material had sunk into the mantle.
This prediction would state that we should still see cold subducted slabs of rock beneath
the earth because this event didn't happen that long ago according to young earth creation.
Today we have found confirmation of these cold subducted slabs near earth's core that
could only be there if the subduction was rapid at one point in the past.
So Dr. Baumgartner's hypothesis was confirmed, which brings us to our next and most recent
prediction confirmation regarding seafloor spreading.
First, let's look at what evolution considers different rock layers.
We say that these are not ages, but rather mega-sequences that formed during the flood.
We can look at the rocks in these layers and see water current direction moving over
them.
This brings us to the next part.
Young earth creation predicted that we would see rapid plate movement in the early stages
of the flood.
In catastrophic plate tectonics, this would be expected to be found in both the Absorica
and Zuni mega-sequence.
The Absorica mega-sequence is the fourth mega-sequence representing the Pennsylvanian and Lower Jurassic
systems.
This is when catastrophic plate movement began to rapidly create a new ocean floor.
The Zuni mega-sequence was the second phase, where the rate of plate movement would have
now been at its fastest.
These predictions have already been confirmed, however, with the presence of long thermal
paths known as fission tracks throughout these sequences, which were the first to show signs
in any rock layers to have experienced rapid plate movement.
This brings us to the new evidence.
The rocks on the sea floor in the following mega-sequences show us that they began to
slow down.
These rock layers fall within what is known as the sixth and final Tejas mega-sequence,
known as the Cenozoic stratigraphic units.
These layers represent the end of the flood, over the final 150 day period when the volcanism
was activated, the mountains formed and the water began to recede from the earth.
The greatest slowing of the sea floor spreading and subduction rates coincide with the early
Pliocene, which is the latest Tejas mega-sequence, when most of the world's plates had also
nearly stopped.
This is also when we see the flood waters had nearly drained off the continents completely,
creating the high Cenozoic flood boundary.
These layers were predicted to show evidence of a global flood and catastrophic processes
and that is exactly what we have found.
Now the only thing left you might be wondering about are the ages given to these rock layers.
The presumed ages are nothing but stages of the flood laid down and the reason they date
old is based on radiometric dating.
I explain the radiometric dates best like this.
If you were to find a watch on the ground and it tells perfect time, could you ever
use that watch to determine when it was made?
Of course not.
Therefore the dates that we obtain from them make no difference at all, especially now
that we have witnessed these radioactive elements form and they date millions or billions of
years old even though they had just formed days prior.
So to answer why do we see older radiometric elements in deeper layers, well that's easy
because the elements with the most atomic weight and mass sink to the bottom and they
also date the oldest.
So I hope that clears that up for you.
I just wanted to share with everybody that we have more confirmed predictions in the
bank for young earth creation.
Thanks for watching.
I'll see you in the next video.
