Excerpt from The True Nature Of
Human Nature
As a final nail in the coffin of
the creation account, let us examine a definitive hole in the creation mythos on day five. On this day, birds
are created, alongside the animals in the seas. On day six, land animals are created. However, again in using the
fossil record, we find a glaring hole in this account. Birds are direct
descendants of dinosaurs. Fossil evidence establishes that dinosaurs
and birds had congruent features such as hollow, pneumatized
bones, were nest-builders and had similar digestive behaviors. Archaeopteryx is a classic example of
a fossil that fills a missing link gap.
This brings
us to our inevitable dilemma. Land animals are clearly created on the sixth day, after
birds! This runs in direct
opposition to what Paleontology has shown us! We can even
ignore the overwhelming evidence for evolution because the bible does
not subscribe to this fact. Let us examine the fossil record.
Fossils in lower layers died longer ago than specimens found in higher
layers. It can be viewed as the earth tree
rings. When do you ever find a bird
fossil at a portion of the earth’s strata lower than the first land
animals? Never! It never happens! Therefore, you can exclude
all of the overwhelming evidence that science has culled together, such as
similar bodily characteristics, habits, conclusive DNA evidence (it is scientifically proven that a T-Rex
and bird are a closer match DNA-wise than an alligator, a reptile) and the
fact that feathers developed in the fossil record with dinosaurs and no
other such animal. The layers of the stratum show that the land
animals came first and that birds came after. There is no way to provide
confluence to the text. It is irreconcilable.
