Slow moving animals were drowned first followed by reptiles and humans and then birds. It is also said that this massive flood created the Grand Canyon and other large landforms. The Paluxy River is also a sight of much controversy. Scientists on the other hand may not believe in a creator who originated life. They find support for the idea that all life forms evolved from single cell bacteria that lived on the Earth.
Scientists believe in a very old earth.
According to radiometric dating of rocks found on earth and on the moon, the Earth is about 4.5 billion years old. To scientists, fossil records show that the order we find fossils in the strata is the order that these species were living on this earth. Scientists also claim that intermediate species are placed into their respective groups and non-scientists are often unaware of this. There are some examples of intermediate species however. The Archaeopteryx has feathers like a bird but also has a skeletal system like that of reptiles, and the Hyracotheriumis believed to precede the horse.
