I would first like to ask how Mr. Wiley reached his conclusion that the whole Noah’s ark story, including a worldwide flood, is implausible? It is easy to ridicule without serious research. For some people it seems to be enough to say, “Ha ha. Look how silly I think this story is. Therefore it is false.”
On the other hand there is ample scientific evidence consistent with a worldwide flood. A few examples should suffice. There are marine fossils in rock layers a mile above sea level in the Grand Canyon. There are even fossils of shellfish in the Himalayas. In fact, there are billions of dead things buried in rock layers all over the earth due to rapid burial. When Mountain Saint Helen erupted in 1980 it rocked (no pun intended) the scientific world. Some things that uniformitarian geologists said takes millions of years to happen took only a matter of seconds, some a few minutes, and a mini scale of the Grand Canyon was formed in only a matter of weeks. So please at least examine the evidence for both sides of an issue before you decide to ridicule another person’s justified beliefs.PS. @ Fritz Goebel. Regarding ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny, it is was well known that Ernst Haeckel faked his drawings soon after he came out with them. The late Stephen Jay Gould and even Eugenie Scott admits to the same. Unfortunately, these drawings are still found in some text books to prove evolution.
