Differences between Ape and man:

Man- Less acute facial angle, small canine teeth, parabolic teeth arangement, smalled jawbone significantly, skull attaches to spinal collumn at bottom of skull, neck muscles at bottom of skull, cranial capacity between 700 and 2200 cc

Ape- large canine teeth, slightly rectangular teeth arangement, broader molars, larger jawbone quite significantly, spinal collumn attaches near back of skull, neck muscles at the back of skull, cranial capacity between 100 and 650 cc

"Extinct creatures"

First I would like to mention the type of monkey that was supposed to be extinct for hundreds of millions of years. Over 40 of them were discovered on an island, alive.

"For many years, evolutionists taught that the coelacanth was the ancestor of the first anphimbians. The fish were often depicted crawling onto land from shallow water. According to evolution, coelacanths should have been extinct about 60 million years ago. Evolutionists were so confident of this conclusion that they used the coelacanth as an index fossil.

In 1938 however, a live coelcanth was caught and found to match the fossil version in every detail; since then, more than a dozen have been captured. Evolutionists were surprised to find that the coelacanths are deep-sea fish, and as a result are unlikely to ever crawl out on land! Their internal organs are also completely fishlike and bear no reseblence to those of amphibians."

"In 1994, many evolutionists were astounded when a grove of large "Jurassic" trees were found alive and well in the deep recesses of an Australian rain forest. In the fossil record, these trees (dubbed Wollemi pines) are often found in the same strata as the dinosaurs. One Australian botanist said that the discovery was "the equivelent of finding a small dinosaur still alive on earth."

Other "living fossils" that "mysteriously" disapeared from the fossil record but are still living today include the tuatara, a reptile which supposedly became extinct 135 milliong years ago; a type of mollusk (Neopilina galatheae) said to have become extinct 280 million years ago; and a "primitive" Paleozoic crustacean (Hutchinsoniella macrocantha) thought to have become extinct 300 million years ago.

Some scientists speculate that even more interesting creatures may potentialy still exist as "living fossils." On April 25, 1977, a Japanese commercial fishing vessel snagged the rotting carcass of a large, unidentified sea creature off the coast of New Zealand; scientists estimated that the creature had been dead about a month. Although the crew did not bring the badly decaeyed carcass aboard ship for fear that it would spoil their valuable cargo, the examined and photographed it as it hung over the stern of the vessel and then dropped it back into sea. Scientists saw that it closely resembled a plesiosaur, a dinosaur-like sea creature thought to have become extinct 65 million years ago."

"Even fossils that do not "disappear" from the fossil reccord can cause problems for the theory of evolution. Horseshoe crabs, for example, supposedly evolved in the beginning of the Triassic period, 230 million years ago; however, fossil horseshoe crabs are identical to modern horseshoe crabs. The ever present cockroach, said to have evolved 320 million years ago, also remains unchanged. In fact, most insects, and many other modern animals, are identical to their fossil counterparts in nearly every aspect."

Ironic how God prophesied to the people thousands of years ago the theories people would have today about all things continuing as they were since the beginning of creation. And when scientists said that all these creatures mentioned were extinct, the are found recently after.

2Peter 3:3-6

3Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

4And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

5For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

6Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:

Luke 12 54:56

Jesus said also to the people, "When you see a cloud comnig up in the west, at once you say that it is going to rain-and it does. And when you feel the south wind blowing, you say that it is going to get hot-and it does. Hypocrites! You can look at the earth and sky and predict the weather; why, then, don't you know the meaning of this present time?


Effects of The Flood

Keep this in mind, "In order for a plant or animal to become a fossil, it must be protected from scavengers and decomposition. Most of the time, this occurs when the animal is quickly burried by water-borne sediments-conditions like those we would expect to be present upon the earth during and immediately following a worldwide flood."

"Darwin and other early evolutionists believed that the fossil record we see is the result of the slow accumalation of fossils over millions, even billions, of years. But the very existence of a fossil implies catastrophic burial. This is true because in order for a fossil to form, it must be burried quickly, before it decays and its bones are scattered or decomposed.

In the fossil record, we often find millions of organisms, predator and prey alike, jumbled together in mass sedimentary graves that imply sudden, violent burrial.

A hill near Agate springs, Nebraska, contains the fossilised and closely packed bones of about 9000 animals, including rhinoceroses, camels, giant boars, and other exotic animals, all jumbled together. It would appear that whole heards were destroyed by some great catastrophe that threw their bodies together quickly and violently. Because the bones show none of the usual signs of weathering or mutilation by scavengers, geologists conclude that the animals were buried quickly before the elements and the scavengers could do their work.

Fishes have been found entombed in beds of fossils that extend for miles. These beds are found in many places in all parts of the globe, and the fossils generally indicate that the fishes died and were buried suddenly. It is rare for any fish to be fossilized today, yet many fossil beds contain over a billion fish all jumbled together. The large number of fossils seems to indicate that the fishes were alarmed and fleeing danger when death overtook them.

In Bergundy, France, there stands an isolated hill more than 1000 feet above the surrounding plain. Near the top of this hill is a fissure crowded with fossilized animal skeletons. These fossils are unusual in that the skeletons are of animals which normally have a predator-prey relationship; predators are found right alongside animals that would normally be their prey. It seems that the animals scaled this hill together, died, and were burried in a common grave. One could expect to find predators and prey burried alongside eachother on this lonely hill if the animals were attempting to escape rising flood waters.
