A recent study published in Nature Ecology & Evolution claims that the “impossible” actually happened—not just once, but three different times.¹

Impossible Ocean Barriers

The discovery of a new species of a plant or animal would probably not spark much excitement to the non-scientist. But in this case, the conditions surrounding the discovery of two new species of little-known fish should cause Christians who are interested in origins to take notice.

A recent study published in Scientific Reports found strange globs of tree resin (amber) mixed within claimed ancient (Cretaceous) deep-water sediments on Hokkaido Island in northern Japan.¹ This is the first reported instance of amber in what’s interpreted as a deep ocean setting.

Two separate research reports arrived at a similar conclusion.^1,2 Both found an episode of mysterious erosion had occurred near the end of the Tejas Megasequence. This event likely correlates to the final phase of water draining off the continents during the Flood. It also confirms a late Cenozoic end of the Flood boundary, called the N-Q (Neogene-Quaternary).^3,4
