Hard Rock Layers Bending, Not Breaking!

This is just one more out of many evidences so consistent with the young earth belief.

There are numerous places in which we find layers of rock that are sometimes thousands of feet thick -- yet these thick layers of rock are bent and folded into shapes that are like hairpins. Now many evolutionary geologists would tell us that these types of layers of rock solidified -- or hardened -- for hundreds of millions of years BEFORE they were bent.

But we see clearly that there is an insurmountable problem with this statement. These rock layers have not been cracked. It's though they were like putty or play-dough so that they could be folded without breaking.

This obviously means that these rock layers had to be bent before they hardened. Or to be put in other words, this had to happen less than a thousand years after they were deposited.

So then, what's the answer? Our answers come from Genesis, providing the solution. Noah's global flood laid down these many rock layers just a few thousand years ago. Then sometime after the flood, while the layers were still soft, movements in the earth's crust bent the layers. Eventually, these layers hardened.

I quote Ken Ham by saying, "Those who believe in millions of years have to disregard the obvious -- the earth is young!"

The Curse of Ham?

Through many years I've listened to the talk of people about the supposed curse of Ham. Sadly, I've also heard many, this includes Christian leaders, claim that Ham's curse resulted in the black-skinned people being formed. To be blatant, this is nonsense!

The Word of God makes it clear in Genesis chapter nine that it was Ham's youngest son, Canaan who was actually cursed. As a matter of fact, Ham had four sons, and there was not one curse placed on his other three sons.

I believe that what was actually happening was that Noah recognized that Canaan's nature was a whole lot like his father, Ham's nature -- only worse. Just as Ham brought great disrespect to Noah, so Canaan also would bring disrespect to his father Ham. As we see from history, this is exactly what happened.

As you study the Bible, you will find that Canaan's descendants were the wicked Canaanites and the evil people of Sodom and Gomorrah. What Noah said about Canaan was shown clearly to be true.

There is also a warning in this section of history for fathers. Ham's rebellious nature obviously influenced the next generation -- and sadly, as we usually see happens, this rebellion grew stronger, generation after generation!
