How Fossils Prove the Flood: A Closer Look at Earth’s Layers

Many assume that fossils form slowly over millions of years. But if you look closely at the evidence, it points toward something much more sudden—and biblical.

The global flood described in Genesis 6–9 provides a far better explanation for fossil beds, marine fossils on mountain tops, and polystrate fossils (like trees found vertically through multiple rock layers).

Even the Grand Canyon—with its sharp, uneroded cliffs—suggests rapid formation, not slow erosion over billions of years.

The Bible doesn’t just tell stories—it explains the world around us. And fossils may be some of the best proof.
