Presented with the evolutionary view of origin, this is a frightening picture to the unknowledgeable. Unless more reserves are found, it is believed that the existing reserves will be depleted in 200 to 300 years. The creationist view differs. In some layers, there are fossils believed to belong to earlier eras. These fossils do not belong in that stratum, but the evolutionists cannot explain the phenomenon away.
Christians can offer an explanation.
During the Great Flood, or Deluge, which occurred in Genesis, it rained for 40 days and 40 nights, wreaking much havoc on the crust of the earth. Nothing like this had ever happened before, and never will happen. During the Flood, much pressure was placed on the earth's crust. This would have accelerated the creation of fossils. During the flood, God destroyed every living thing which was not in the ark.
