John 17: 1After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. 2 For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. 3 Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. 4 I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do. 5 And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began. 6 “I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. 7 Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. 8 For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. 9 I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours…20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me…” NIV

Large areas of the Southwest US have the geological designations Triassic and Jurassic (along with some Cretaceous). They are similar with some strata found in Europe. Yet, all these strata where laid down under traumatic conditions-broad flood plains and volcanic eruptions. The plants and animal life show rapid traumatic burial. Trees are often crushed yet retain growth rings, bark partially torn off, root bulbs without extensions of the roots, leaves in large matted layers-and all fossilized. Reptile, fish, crustacean life forms show crushing and often intact burial and some within death assemblages. These observations can be consistent with massive regional flooding and also supportive of worldwide flooding such as the Noah Flood. For more information see book below: The Painted Desert and Petrified Forest.

(JGl photo.) Temple Mount Sifting Project: “The seeds of the Sifting Project took root in 1999 when archaeologists Barkay and Dvira salvaged some 9,000 tons of dirt that had been...dumped into the Kidron Valley between 1996 and 1999 by the Northern Branch of the Islamic Movement during a large-scale building project on the Temple Mount: the construction of a subterranean mosque in an area colloquially called Solomon’s Stables…” No archaeological assessment was done at the time of removal of the debris.(JGL comment.) “In the past 15 years, through the help of some 200,000 paying volunteers the project has recovered over 500,000 artifacts from earth...including 5,000 coins, inscriptions, mountains of pottery, Egyptian-era cultic items, jewelry, remnants of warfare, and a plethora of fauna remains: bone tools, the charred bone remains of Temple Mount sacrifices, and even pig bones from Roman pagan and Christian periods. The artifacts span all periods of Jerusalem, from Jebusite settlement prior to the biblical kingdoms, to the modern era…” https://www.timesofisrael.com/temple-mount-sifting-project-reboots-to-seek-more-direct-evidence-of-1st-temple/#gs.fludhr I have written a book on Jewish History in the Bible Portrayed in Coins.

"...now researchers have come across another startling discovery—coal beds hidden far beneath the South China Sea..." The explanation by Dr Clarey, a geologist, using a Flood model is very plausible and more easily explains the observed data than an evolutionary scenario. It supports a massive run-off of organic matter and sand during the exposing of the above water crustal land mass in the late and post worldwide Flood. One must make assumptions regardless of which scenario, worldwide Flood with late and post Flood run-off or long age rising/falling of land is chosen. Please see more information at the ICR site:
