When the creation of the world as stated in the bible contradict that of modern science it is easy to see why there would be so few scientists who believe.

Their reasoning is that the earth is composed of various different layers of sedimentary soil containing a variety of …show more content…
However, build up of sedimentary soils do not take years to build up. Layers of sediment settle with the movement of water and, "the thickness of the sediment is dependent upon the size of the particles within the water" (fondriest.com). With this knowledge, it can be assessed that something like this would have happened during the great flood in Genesis. The massive amount of water that swept of the earth would have given plenty of time for particles to settle in varying layers and colors. This proves that just because some scientist has a theory it does not mean that they have thought about every possible option for there to be varying layers of sediment on the earth. There is not only biblical proof of the flood God brought but scientists like William Ryan believe that the sediment proves it
