Term 1 of 22
Why is the geological considered evidence for evolution?
It indicates that early in earth's history, there were only simple life forms. As time went on, the
geological column indicates that more and more complex life forms started to appear. (This is
exactly what the Theory of Evolution states.)
It is excellent evidence for a worldwide flood and is a major problem for the uniformitarian
viewpoint because contains many fossils from several differnt climates.
The fossil record contains no fossils that are undeniable intermediate links. (If evolution
occurred, there should be many such fossils.)
It is not real. Since it is constructed with assumptions, the evidence is only good if the
assumptions are valid.
Term 2 of 22
Explain, in your own words, how the geological column is constructed.
The fossil record contains no fossils that are undeniable intermediate links. (This is exactly what
you would expect if God created each plant and animal individually.)
The geological column is constructed by comparing layers of rock found in various parts of the
world. Using index fossils and the Principle of Superposition, geologists order layers into one,
big column that represents all of earth's geological history.

, Term 3 of 22
List at least four problems with uniformitariansm as discussed in the text.
No, (The only time we have actually observed a canyon form, it formed as the result of a
catastrophe and then later the river formed. Thus the data from Mt. St. Helens tell us that
canyons form rivers, not that rivers form canyons.)
1. Catastrophists have offered no good explanation for the existence of unconformities
between rock layers laid down by the Flood.
2. Catastrophists cannot explain certain fossil structures that look like they were formed under
"normal" living conditions which would not exist during the Flood>
3. Catastrophists have not yet explained the enormous chalk deposits we find in terms of the
Flood.
Here are six.
1. There are too many fossils in the fossil record.
2. Fossils such as the T-Rex bone that contain soft tissue are hard to understand in the
uniformitarian view.
3. Fossil graveyards with fossils from many different climates are hard to understand in the
uniformitarian vew.
4. Index fossils are called into question by the many creatures we once thought were extinct
but we now know are not.
5. Uniformiatrians must assume the existence of paraconformities.
6. Uniformitarians must assume that evolution occurred, and there is no evidence for evolution.
(In fact, the fossil record provides evidence that each plant and animal was created by God.)

Term 4 of 22
What is so important about the Cumberland Bone Cave when it comes to the question of
uniformitarianism versus catastrophism?
It is excellent evidence for a worldwide flood and is a major problem for the uniformitarian
viewpoint because it contains no fossils from several different climates.
It is excellent evidence for a worldwide flood and is a major problem for the uniformitarian
viewpoint because it contains fossils from only one climate.
It is excellent evidence for a worldwide flood and is a major problem for the uniformitarian
viewpoint because contains many fossils from several differnt climates.
It is excellent evidence for a worldwide flood and is a major problem for the uniformitarian
viewpoint because it contains only plant fossils.
