Join Origins host Ray Heiple as he welcomes, Dr. John Whitmore for, “Fossils and Earth History.” Fossils in rocks are living things that have been turned into stone. They give us clues of the past history of the earth and can help us confirm whether evolution or special creation is a better model for interpreting the past. When an animal dies, it decomposes quickly, so if a fossil is discovered, it means that it was buried quickly. Marine fossil layers on land are keys to a Biblical model.
