VIRTUAL TOUR
We've wanted to get a virtual museum tour page up and running for a while now so the COVID 19 outbreak really gave it an extra push to make it a reality. Many people are stuck at home so I hope this page can pass the time a little quicker as well as encourage challenge and inform folks. We will go from showcase to showcase zooming in on one fossil example per display showing evidence for either quick burial, intelligent design, beauty, creation or catastrophe. As a large portion of bringing these museum displays to you consists of research, many of the photos are of fossils as found in the field. Once this Corona virus threat is past and we can go on with our lives again please visit us physically and see ALL the evidence for creation and catastrophe and against evolution! Enjoy!
We’ve all seen in the text books, nature programs and newspaper articles that sedimentary rock layers have been all laid down slowly, that creatures died and slowly sank to the bottom and slowly got covered up over millions and millions of years right?
But do you really see evidence for this when you actually go out into the field yourself and look? On the flip side if things in the bible really happened there must be physical evidence for that. If there really was a world wide flood there must be billions of dead things buried in rock layers laid down by water (catastrophically) all over the earth! By going out into the field and bringing back real samples this museum attempts to show evidence for a past catastrophic event that the secular world tries to obscure. Subsequently the museum exposes the fallacies of evolution's millions and millions of years of slow burial.
Living fossils and extinction display.
Living fossils are living organisms that have a fossil counterpart. We find in the rocks that creatures really do produce after their own kind just as Genesis says they do. We also find in the rocks extinct creatures. If evolution were true we should be gaining creatures not loosing them. Evidence for evolution is only in text books, not in the rocks.

Cyclocrinites (Algae) in the display (Photo above) and found in the field (Photo below)

Location: St. Marys Quarry, Bowmanville Ont.
These Cyclocrinites were found in Middle Ordovician rocks considered by evolutionists to be 450 million years old. If you believe in evolution and millions of years you would have to conclude that bulbous algae exhibits stasis (no change) because they still exist today as their modern cousins the dasyclad algae. These marine (salt water) plants* live in waters up to 90 meters deep. All we see so far is algae turning into algae. Genesis calls this "Producing after their own kind".

Ontario's catastrophic past.
There are dozens of sedimentary rock formations in Ontario but only one is enough
to discredit long ages. Here we look at the rocks of the Georgian Bay Formation.

All Clammed Up!
Many Mussels (Pelecypods) in the Georgian Bay Formation Shale were found closed up. When you touch a modern living clam they close up due to fright. When they die they open up. This means the fossil mussels were buried alive and deep that they couldn’t burrow out and the surrounding sediments hardened too quickly for them to open up after they died. This is great evidence for a catastrophe and not for the slow and gradual processes of uniformitarian geology.

Photo in the field: Dinosaur bone found pointing in a NW-SE position.
Vance Nelson sums up a Montana dinosaur dig best:
"We were able to see, in just three days, a small snapshot of the ecological mixtures (land organisms mixed with water organisms) which would be predicted based on the Flood model of deposition—evidence of Noah's Flood.
Not to be missed, we also saw great evidence for Creation, that things have faithfully reproduced after their own kinds: fig trees, redwood trees, horsetails, turtles, crocodiles, and garfish. Nothing we saw in the three short days was any help to the theory of evolution at all!
Not only was there a mix of fossils found but many were buried directionaly in a NW-SE position further suggesting this is a dump deposit organized by water.
The Fossils of Europe.
From the Cretaceous rocks of Switzerland to the Jurassic rocks of Germany
it seems that no matter where you go there is evidence stamped in stone for Creation and Catastrophe!

A belemnite is a squid like creature with an internal chambered shell used for buoyancy. The shell is all that is left as a fossil.
The belemnite has living cousins such as the cuttlefish and is another excellent example of a living fossil.

Minerals (Crystals)
Apatite in Orange Calcite Location: Otter Lake Quebec. One of the characteristics a mineral exhibits is that it possesses
an orderly internal structure and a definite chemical composition. For example, pyrite is cubic shaped and quartz hexagonal shaped.The CREATION of minerals reminds us that we serve an orderly CREATOR GOD of the heavens and earth.

KING SIZED BED! THE WHITBY FORMATION (OIL SHALE)
(OR BLUE MOUNTIAN FORMATION, COLLINGWOOD MEMBER)
EVIDENCE FOR A HUGE CATASTROPHE!
Sedimentary rock is rock that was laid down by water. A sedimentary rock formation or “bed” is a layer of sedimentary rock
that is distinguishable from the layer above and the layer below. How big is the Whitby Shale Formation? We find out from this display!

Up at Craigleith near Collingwood where the Whitby Oil Shale is exposed on the Georgian Bay shore line. Amazing fossil trilobites (Pseudogygites latimarginatus) can be found in the shale.
The same Whitby Oil Shale bed is also exposed in Bowmanville at St. Marys Quarry 200 kilometers away containing similar fossils. The trilobite Psuedogygites can also be found here.
If that's not big enough......
The Formation is part of a continuous belt of Middle to Upper Ordovician black shale and is present from the
Central Appalachians to the Maritime Provinces.

STALACTITES
Processes Produce Stalactites Not Time!
Processes Produce Stalactites Not Time!
On a bridge dated 1940 near Sackville New Brunswick colleague Vance Nelson (Creation Truth Ministries)
discovers stalactites hanging from the bridge.
Experts on caves say that such stalactites take 100 years on average to form a cubic centimeter.
(Geologist A.H. Tiplin, Geology of our Romantic Niagara, page 196)
Let’s compare that quote to the bridge stalactites. Some stalactites found here were 16 cm long. The bridge
is 67 years old. Dividing one by the other shows that these stalactites grew 2.4 mm per year. That’s 24 times faster
than the 0.1mm per year according to the experts.

Trace fossils
(animal activity recorded in stone) is excellent evidence of rapid hardening of sediment and then a quick overlay of new sediment to preserve them for us to see.

Fossil Dumbbell?
.....is the appropriate name given to this marking. It is in fact a top view of an invertebrate burrow,
probably created by a worm. Surface markings like this one need to be buried quickly to be preserved.

Cephalopods, engineering genius of the sea!
Whorled View!
Coiled and straight shelled Cephalopods or Nautiloids are related to the modern coiled Nautilus. The Nautiloid family is wonderful evidence of God’s genius as the creator of the submarine. The present day Nautilus shell makes our human submarines look amateurish.
Sadly the present Nautilus family has only 3 members and all the ammonite end of the family are now extinct.
The world is losing animals, not gaining them. This is the opposite of evolution.

Eye Spy!
Evolutionists claim life began as primitive forms which evolved into more complex forms, however, trilobites had eyes not only with double lensing systems, but they had Fresnal type lenses. It was Augustin Jean Fresnal who re-invented such lenses for light houses - so we name them after their creator. But a trilobite had Fresnel type lenses because it was programmed into their DNA which requires far more creative genius than Fresnal. It also totally disproves the idea of a primitive to complex sequence in the fossil record. The trilobites at the bottom have optical systems as advanced as space age technology. The Trilobite, with its space age“designer eyes”, can help you prove the point that God thought of it first!

Ontario Sedimentary Rock Formations Display
As explained earlier, sedimentary rock is rock that was laid down by water. A sedimentary rock formation or “bed” is a layer of sedimentary rock that is distinguishable from the layer above and the layer below. A sample from each formation in Southern Ontario was collected and mounted on the board. No matter what formation you are in, each one has ample evidence for creation and catastrophe!

Let's pick the Detroit River Group. Here we find many types of coral. *In the rocks you find 3 orders of coral, the Scleractinia, Rugosa and Tabulata. All that is left in today’s waters is the Scleractinia.
(*Ref. Kentucky Geological Survey http://www.uky.edu/KGS/fossils/corals.htm)
That's not evolution, that's extinction. If evolution were true we should be gaining species not loosing them!

Not only is there beauty in creation but there is hidden beauty like that of minerals that glow, not known until invisible portions of the light spectrum were discovered. Evolutionists can not explain beauty in nature and especially hidden beauty .
THE ICE AGE
Aftermath of The Flood!
Aftermath of The Flood!
Glacial Scrapes, St.Marys Quarry, Bowmanville
A look on top of the quarry reveals stunning glacial scrapes on sedimentary rock as the overburden is removed to access
the rock. Sadly by the time this report is made, the rock will have been crushed and used as fill for Ontario highways. These scrapes are even more evidence of the devastating effects the Great Flood of Noah’s day had, even upsetting weather patterns and cycles and finally issuing in the Ice Age.

VUGS (CAVITIES)
Catastrophic Origin! Beautiful Results!
Catastrophic Origin! Beautiful Results!
Vugs are small cavities inside rock that are formed through a variety of processes. They can form by a disintegrated fossil
creating a space, by cracks and fissures and by dissolution (the dissolving of the rock by water movement). The open
spaces then allow the free development of external crystal forms. Hydrothermal action (hot water) is thought to play a
part in the formation of vugs and indicates extensive geologic catastrophism. This is exactly what you would expect to find as
a result of a world wide year long flood such as Noah’s Flood.

Crude Oil
Crude oil is the remains of dead plants and animals that have been buried quickly. Unable to rot under accumulating
sediments it turned to oil. Most people miss the point that if plants and animals died and were slowly covered, there would
be no oil in the present world.
In 2001, 77 million barrels of oil per day were produced. 75% of the earth’s surface is covered by sedimentary rock, (Rock that
was laid down by water). These facts would explain nicely a quick violent world wide flood and not millions and millions of
years of slow burial.

Memorial to the Flood!
Coal (Buried Vegetation)
For those who believe the bible, the presence of such great quantities of buried vegetation is easily explained. It is consistent with the devastation of Noah's flood which would have uprooted the entire pre-flood biosphere and buried it with huge quantities of sand and mud. Some coal measures off the southern coast of Australia are estimated to be almost five kilometers thick.
