Compelling evidence for the FLOOD of Noah:
The traditional view held by geologists is that the Yellowstone petrified tree formations represent many forests which grew one after the other. Each took hundreds of years to grow before it was buried by volcanic ash and slides of volcanic breccia (sharp-edged chunks of volcanic rock cemented to form a solid rock). Then another forest grew on top of it, only to suffer a similar fate, until perhaps as many as fifty to sixty-five forests had been buried and petrified. This explanation has been accepted without question for almost a century. However, recent detailed research has brought to light much evidence that contradicts this traditional view.
Dr. Harold Coffin has conducted careful studies over a number of years on all aspects of the Specimen Ridge formations. Some of the facts that do not fit the picture of forests' being buried where they grew are as follows:9
a. Tree roots abruptly terminating or broken.
b. Almost all trees completely stripped of bark and limbs.
c. Small trees upright, unbroken (a breccia flow would push them over).
d. Ring patterns of neighboring trees do not match.
e. Both upright and prone trees lined up as if by water current.
f. No valid evidence of soil layers where trees grew.
g. Absolutely no evidence of animals found where soil layers should be; also, very few cones found.
h. Many examples of trees overlapping with roots on one located at a level part-way up the trunk of another.
i. Broad leaves found where tree trunks are only conifers.
j. Pollen scarce and not of same kind as the tree trunks.
These and other facts strongly contradict the uniformitarian view. The evidence better fits the view that trees were ripped up and transported from another location by water and dumped in place at the same time that repeated volcanic eruptions were layering the area with ash and breccia. The evidence supports the view that this happened rapidly, not slowly over periods of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years.
