And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of
cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the
earth, and every man: All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died. Genesis 7:21,22
"Researchers wanted to know what would happen to the bodies of three dead alligators, Alligator mississippiensis,
if they dropped them at the bottom of the sea.
---They were placed 6,600 ft. down in the Gulf of Mexico.
---When the scientists returned 51
days later, what they found left them stunned.
-The first alligator had
been eaten down to its bones, and was covered in a brown fuzz. They
later discovered that this brown fuzz was a bone-eating worm, called Osedax, consuming the ‘gator remains.
-The second alligator, in less than 24 hours was being devoured by giant isopods, Bathynomus giganteus.
-And the third alligator carcass was totally missing. Calculations
suggested that “the bite strength needed to cut cleanly through our rope
was consistent with that of a large shark.”
*The
myth of animals dying and falling to the bottom of the sea where they
will be slowly covered in sediment and fossilized is still widespread
today. This likely explains the scientists’ surprise at an outcome which
is really consistent with common sense.
As this study clearly shows,
unless animals are very rapidly covered by sediment after death, predation and decay will prevent their preservation.
The conditions needed for the large-scale fossilization observed in
sedimentary rock layers all over the earth were present in the Noahic
Flood only 4,500 years ago."CMI
