Creationists, Xiphactinus, and the Genesis Flood
A fossil dig involving a huge Xiphactinus was getting exciting, and scientists from the Institute for Creation Research saddled up and headed to Kansas to help. Assorted critters of other types were found as well. The evidence helped affirm the reality of the Genesis Flood.
One of the most basic evidences of the Genesis Flood is the disparity of fossils. Believers in universal common descent evolution insist that fossils have an orderly progression from simple to complex life forms, but what paleontologists find is creatures from different habitats fossilized together. Evolutionary and deep-time thinking cannot provide reasonable explanations for this fact. Such was the case at this fossil dig as well. Other items found also support the Flood.

Yippie ky yay, secularists!A fossil dig team was just finishing its last day of excavating a two-meter-long extinct fish on a private ranch in Kansas. As dusk began to settle on the prairie’s badlands, two team members traced some vertebrae embedded in the hillside. They quickly scraped off sediment to uncover something even bigger. They just had to come back and excavate this fantastic find!ICR took the opportunity to assist them with this dig in June 2020. Rock and fossil features that fit the Flood model of Earth’s history became clear through this one-of-a-kind experience. The excavation took place in an outcrop of the Smoky Hill Chalk member of the Niobrara Formation, whose rock layers are famous for fossils of fish, giant clams, and flying reptiles. Each rainy season or even a rainstorm can erode sediments to expose new fossils.
