Switzerland Dolphin Fossils and the Genesis Flood

Dolphins and porpoises are very closely related and have many features in common, such as sonar, intelligence, and so on. The easiest way to tell them apart is the rounder, beak-like head of the dolphin as opposed to the blunt face of the porpoise. Also, the dolphin has a more curved dorsal fin while the one on the porpoise is more distinctly triangular. Nobody asked, but I wanted to share.

When considering dolphin fossils, do you think of way up yonder in Switzerland? Sure, everybody does. But seriously, that is where a boatload of marine creature fossils was discovered.

More and more, delicate parts of creatures are being preserved. This is strong evidence for rapid burial. Researchers were able to study the hearing abilities of two newly-discovered dolphin species. Great. But Switzerland? Secularists have a fanciful tale on how a very think chuck of fossil-bearing real estate formed up there, but what is observed fits with other evidence supporting the Genesis Flood.

Who doesn’t like to watch the antics of the friendly dolphin? They are classified as Cetaceans (which also includes the porpoise and the whale). Creationists maintain cetaceans have always been cetaceans while evolutionists have a strange hypothesis regarding their origin.

They suggest millions of years ago marine mammals evolved from land mammals called even-toed ungulates (artiodactyls) and are related to the tiny mouse-deer (Chevrotains)! The required series of fossil creatures that would connect the two vastly different animals have yet to be found.
