When reading the scientific literature, it is critical to remember that there are two different definitions of evolution. The first is "change in the genetic makeup of a population over time." Many times studies which fall into this group are not inconsistent with a biblical creation worldview. Creatures certainly can appear to have changed, but the type of changes do not suggest that they came from a different species or that they are on their way to becoming a different specie. Ironically, this type of evolutionary research is critical to further developing the creation model and understanding speciation (changes within a kind). This pattern of creative change has been demonstrated scientifically.
The second definition of evolution includes the idea that "all life on earth arose from a common ancestor." This second definition obviously contradicts the biblical testimony that all living things were created by God according to their kind. Those promoting the "common ancestor" concept blur the two definitions of evolution to make it appear that scientific studies support the atheistic evolutionary worldview. It is important to realize that the evolutionary worldview requires a specific type of change not predicted by the creation model. It requires that the overall pattern of mutational change be creative, adding information for new organs and structures. Furthermore, only naturalistic processes can be invoked for the formation of this information. This pattern of creative changes has not been demonstrated scientifically.

Unlike the theory of evolution, the Bible teaches devolution - which explains many phenomena observed on earth; that is, in the beginning God created a perfect and finished world to which nothing could be added to improvement. When sin entered this world, things began to go from bad to worse. Ultimately, sin will destroy our world until one day this earth will be reduced to what it was before creation, "without form and void."

The first location

This was found by a paleontologist by the name of Earl Douglas in 1909. He was digging in the north-east corner of Utah when he found what is today called the "Dinosaur National Monument." It shows a jumble of all sizes of dinosaur bones intermixed even with a group of clams called unioid bivalves. Answers in Genesis reports, "The evidence shows that not only were they deposited in an unlikely place (among land animals), but they were buried very rapidly. When these clams die, their two shells normally come undone within days. However, in this unearthed mass burial, we see that many are still fully intact.

The clams and the dinosaurs were swept into the violent currents of the floodwaters, carried to their final destination and then buried in sediment, where they hardened in time, preserving the remains of these once-living creatures. The subsequent folding of these rock layers and their erosion was likewise very rapid towards the end of the Flood event."

The second location

Now compare this article to the one posted in Yahoo [100] July 31, 2008. In this article the amazing discovery of caves containing water in the driest place of Chile's `Atacama Desert' (ca. W67.5, S23.3) are discussed and how explorers found another, smaller cave, where, in their words, "Another discovery yesterday left the researchers just shaking their heads.

In a different cave in the same region, they found animal remains. Lots of them.

"We found hundreds of thousands of bones and skulls eroding out of the cave walls," Wynne wrote in his blog. "So, we've renamed this small cave Cuevita de Huesos (or Small Cave of the Bones)."

The researchers had to climb about 13 feet up to find a walkable passage.

"This is where we found all the bones mixed in with tree branches," Wynne wrote.

It's not clear if the animals were dumped into the cave by prehistoric people or if perhaps they were trapped by a flood. After all, the expedition is related to figuring out the thermal signatures of Mars caves, and the finding was made just this week.

"Whatever the mechanism for their deposition, this find was incredibly cool and rather exhilarating," Wynne said. Pete [Polsgrove] and I had a blast marveling over the extent of this deposition as well as discussing what could have possibly led to the deposition of these bones."

Comments: These finds are very interesting indeed, especially when compared. It is too early to say much, but it is a striking report and the Chile bone deposits seem to be similar to those in Utah. They were laid down in large numbers, in a jumble, in a flood - albeit, in the days of Noah.
