There is further evidence for a global flood, and the significance for this thread is that the billions of dead things buried in rock layers laid down by water all over the earth point not to huge ages (necessary for evolution) but to a much shortened chronology. What are hundreds of thousands of bones, for example, doing in Chilean cave walls with moist mud underground in an otherwise permanently dry, high altitude cave in Chile?

I shared about this on PhillyBlog, but we may have some new readers here.

In a July 31, 2008 article, “Incredible Discoveries Made in Remote Caves” by Robert Roy Britt, we read these words: “Scientists exploring caves in the bone-dry and mostly barren Atacama Desert in Chile stumbled upon a totally unexpected discovery this week: water. They also found hundreds of thousands of animal bones in a cave, possibly evidence of some prehistoric human activity. … No hot place on Earth is drier than the Atacama Desert. Many parts of the high-plateau desert have never received rain that anyone can remember. Average rainfall across the region is just 1 millimeter per year. … So nobody was looking for water….”

"’Much to my surprise, as we moved about halfway through this passage, my foot completely sunk into the soil,’ Wynne said. ‘It was mud! There was a lot of it. It was all contained within the salt stream flow that meandered through this passage.’ There is no known source of water nearby. … ‘In arguably the driest desert in the world, we've found water in a cave far away from any known water source,’ Wynne said. ‘Essentially, we found water in a barren area below the Earth's surface. Why was water there? What are the mechanisms for the presence of water in these hyper-arid caves? Is this merely a phenomenon related to these caves in particular? Is there some sort of moisture sink that results in the water concentrating in certain caves and not others in the Atacama Desert?’"

“Another discovery yesterday left the researchers just shaking their heads. In a different cave in the same region, they found animal remains. Lots of them. ‘We found hundreds of thousands of bones and skulls eroding out of the cave walls,’ Wynne wrote in his blog. ‘So, we've renamed this small cave Cuevita de Huesos (or Small Cave of the Bones).’"

“The researchers had to climb about 13 feet up to find a walkable passage. ‘This is where we found all the bones mixed in with tree branches,’ Wynne wrote.”

“It's not clear if the animals were dumped into the cave by prehistoric people or if perhaps they were trapped by a flood. After all, the expedition is related to figuring out the thermal signatures of Mars caves, and the finding was made just this week. ‘Whatever the mechanism for their deposition, this find was incredibly cool and rather exhilarating,’ Wynne said. ‘Pete [Polsgrove] and I had a blast marveling over the extent of this deposition as well as discussing what could have possibly led to the deposition of these bones. Once the sensors were deployed in this feature we moved on."

“(W)hat could have possibly led to the deposition of these bones”? Based on the sheer volume of mammal and other bones deposited together in great masses around the world, we are confident that the Biggs discovery is further evidence of flood deposition. Perhaps it is related to the melting of the ice cap associated with both a global flood and its sequential Ice Age.
