| Starting
at the fabulous Blue Lake (below 1), some 50 people spent a
cool moist day exploring the volcanic rocks and limestones of
the Mt Gambier region near the Victorian border in South Australia. |
 |
 |
1.
This volcanic crater
lake is famous for changing colour from blue to grey
with the seasons. |
2.
The volcanic ash (grey
above) was violently ejected and dumped on the surronding
limestone. |
|
 |
 |
| 3.
In many places the ash
layers sit directly on the fossil rich limestone showing
the linestone had not been expossed to erosion for any
great amount of time. |
4.
Not only did we find evidence that the limestones show
abundant evidence that fossil scallops (picture 3 above)
have turned into present day scallops, i.e. have not
evolved in all the supposed 35 million years evolutionist’s
think it took to form the limestone. Scallops have provably
produced their own kind. |
|
 |
 |
5.
The limestone bed is approximately 300m thick and is
commonly quarried for decorative blocks. The 300m thick
bed of limestone was supposedly deposited over 35 million
years, but it provably did not take that long to be
laid down. |
6.
How do we know? It’s simple - just divide 300m
by 35 million to find out how much rock was laid down
each year. |
|
 |
|
7.
The answer is1/116 mm per year, which means it would
have taken some 200 years to bury the smallest scallop,
so no fossils would have been preserved at all.The evidence
certainly supports rapid rock formation and does not
help the old earth theory. |
