Scientists have found fossils of whales and other marine animals in mountain sediments in the Andes, indicating that the South American mountain chain rose very rapidly from the sea.

Rapid Evolution

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

“Rise and rapid evolution of grazing mammals and ape-like creatures“. Rapid evolution is an oxymoron. There shouldn’t be rapid evolution because of the way that the process of evolution has been envisioned.

Present-day Forest Associations

As the fire burns the woods, And as the flame sets the mountains on fire, So pursue them with Your tempest, And frighten them with Your storm.
(Psalms 83:14-15) NKJV

The description of the Miocene is the same kind of circular reasoning that all of the rest of the geological timescale is built on. If sediment doesn’t have an characteristics of the Miocene, it’s not assigned to the Miocene.

Climatic Cooling

And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged.
(Genesis 8:1) KJV

We’ve made the case that after Noah’s flood the wind which caused the waters to abate produced a cooling effect which cause polar and equatorial glaciation. Evidence of equatorial glaciation is assigned to the Permian.

August 24th

I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds. For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine. If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.
(Psalms 50:9-12) KJV

The Miocene is the Miocene because it’s the Miocene. Anything that’s not characteristic of the Miocene is assigned to something other than the Miocene. It’s a little microcosm of circular reasoning.
