Upside Down Formations That Can't Be

Over the past century, scientists have speculated that life began with a one-celled creature and that over enormous spans of time more complex creatures evolved. Thus they have charted a kind of family tree of life as they believe it evolved. This means that simple creatures ought to be found in the lowest or oldest layers of the earth, while the more complex organisms ought to be higher up in the strata. The theory fails to explain why one-celled organisms still exist today since presumably they have now had about 4.5 billion years to get on with evolving to better things.

This succession from simple to complex in the layers of the earth is then used to date each layer according to the time scale developed and frequently amended during the past 150 years.

If exceptions are found in the layers of the earth, that is, if simple (older) creatures are found deposited above complex (younger) creatures, scientists normally explain such finds as 'overthrusts.' An overthrust occurs when portions of the earth are pushed upward to form hills and mountains. Such layers may then come to rest on top of younger layers. No one would deny that overthrusts do in fact occur. Serious questions are raised, however, when enormous areas are found to have fossils in the 'wrong' order and there is no evidence whatsoever that overthrusts occurred. Some examples follow where something other than an explanation of overthrusts is called for.

When Precambrian strata seem to be deposited by water on top of Cretaceous formations, billions of years of rock are resting in the wrong place. Field work carried out in 1968 resulted in the above conclusion. This geologic puzzle is the Lewis Overthrust, which extends from Glacier National Park 350 miles into Alberta, Canada, in a strip 15-30 miles wide. This phenomenon is cited in the texts as the classic example of a large overthrust, that is, older rock pushed up and out over younger rock. The fossils are in the wrong order. The problem of applying the overthrust theory here is the vast extent of the 'wrong order' formation (CRSQ , 1969, 6:2, P.96).

A mystery occurs in the Franklin Mountains near El Paso, Texas, at a location known as West Crazy Cat Canyon. Here we find massive Upper Ordovician limestones lying immediately on top of an Upper Cretaceous formation. A geologist who conducted a tour there a few years ago explained that no actual physical evidence had yet been discovered of an overthrust, but since the fossils were completely out of order, geologists assumed an overthrust (CRSQ , ;1966, 3:1, p.59).

Another famous location is the Glarus Overthrust near Schwanden, Switzerland. Instead of the textbook order of Permian, Jurassic, and Eocene, a 21-mile overthrust is assumed because the order of formations is Eocene at the bottom, Jurassic next and Permian on top. A so-called gouge layer shows no striations, and even the irregularities at the bottom of each formation have not been worn away. Again the fossils clearly are in the wrong places (CRSQ , 1971, 8:4, p.251-255). Some argue that the formations were overturned, but again the extent of overturn involved seems to raise extreme problems.

In the Empire Mountains in southern Arizona, Permian limestone rests on top of Cretaceous. The contact resembles gear meshing. There could have been no sliding without the projections of the lower formation being ground off. Yet it is called an overthrust. Fossils are in the wrong order in Heart Mountain, Wyoming, and in nearby Sheep Mountain. These mountains are capped with Paleozoic limestone. Lower down are Jurassic and Tertiary sediments. Below these Paleozoic limestone again appears (CRSQ , 1964, 1:4, P.44-45).

An impossible combination of fossils was reported found in 1970 in Guryul Ravine, Kashmir. Permian brachiopods were found mixed with lower Triassic pelecypods. Since the one is supposed to have become extinct long before the other evolved, no explanation of the puzzle was offered (CRSQ , 7:2, p.122).

In the past decade, studies of plant spores have been made in the formations of the Grand Canyon. Spores of the conifer were found in the Permian, Mississippian, Cambrian and Precambrian, and pollen of flowering plants were also found in the Precambrian. No evolutionary theory can accommodate these findings(CRSQ 1972, 9:1, p.25; l966, 3:1, p.49; l972, 9:4, p.238).
