First Vertebrates and a Great Variety of Marine Invertebrates

Then God said, “Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens.”
(Genesis 1:20 NKJV

In Noah’s flood the sea floor was buried first, that’s called the Cambrian. The things which were swimming just above the sea floor got buried next, that’s called the Ordovician.

Warm, Epicontinental Seas, Again

And Jesus said, “For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may be made blind.”
(John 9:39) NKJV

Epicontinental seas supporting an abundance of green and red algae. What’s the difference between Cambrian and Ordovician? The Cambrian is the sea floor, the Ordovician is the open ocean immediately above it.

Warm, Mild Climates

Now the flood was on the earth forty days. The waters increased and lifted up the ark, and it rose high above the earth.
(Genesis 7:17) NKJV

Erosion and deposition of sediment happens as the result of precipitation and flooding. “Warm, mild climates” is a way of implying that warm temperatures caused increased evaporation from the oceans.

Journey to the Center of the Earth

Miners explore the deepest darkness.
They search the depths of the earth And dig for rocks in the darkness.
(Job 28:3) Good News Translation

The deepest hole ever drilled is the Kola Super-deep Bore-hole at 12 km. Less than 2% of the radius of the Earth. There are no direct observations of Earth’s interior, nothing empirical, it’s entirely theoretical.

The Narrative of the Decay Constant

Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned –
(Romans 5:12) NKJV

The peer review narrative for Earth begins with the desire that the Bible is wrong and hell isn’t at the center. One way to do this is to have a timescale which is completely different to the one in the Bible.

Experimentation for the Decay Constant

Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.
(Leviticus 19:36) KJV

Are nuclear decay rates constant or variable? With only 120 years of measurements to work with, and using gravitational time dilation to debunk stellar spectroscopy, there’s no way to find out.

Nuclear Decay

“Then he cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.’
(Luke 19:24) NKJV

It’s impossible to prove that radioisotopes have always decayed at a constant rate throughout history, since the ability to detect and measure radioactive decay is only about 120 years old.

Only Half a Life?

The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
(John 10:10) NKJV

Ernest Rutherford knew that Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution needed a sound experimental foundation, but it’s wishful thinking so a contrived foundation was the best that he could do.

Evidence for the Decay Constant

But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
(2 Peter 3:8) KJV

The evidence that nuclear decay has been constant are measurements of radioactivity which have been made since it was discovered in 1896, about 120 years worth of data.

Cursed is the Ground

And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
(Genesis 3:17) KJV

Nuclear decay began when God cursed the Earth. God’s presence is the power which maintains matter in a stable state. God can’t tolerate sin, so when sin entered the world he withdrew his presence.
