How Mount St. Helens Supports Bible Truth
In the decades following the 1980 Mount St. Helens event, we have witnessed a tremendously rapid restoration and proliferation of all kinds of plant and animal life! This is in an area that was predicted to continue as a “moonscape” for a thousand years. Legumes and other plant species, which have a symbiotic relationship between nitrogen-fixing bacteria and their roots, have been able to fertilize the soil so that other plants and trees can grow in the sterile ground.
Tadpoles have been found to acquire a highly accelerated breeding cycle in the initially low population so that the tadpoles sexually matured before metamorphosis and bred as tadpoles, greatly accelerating the initial population increase. When the population stabilized, they returned to normal breeding cycles. Elk cows as well were giving birth to two-to-three calves per year in the initial re-population instead of the normal one calf every two years. Life is teeming on the old “moonscape”!
Thus, in the Mount St. Helens outdoor laboratory, we are witnessing how the creatures when they were released from the Ark could indeed “…breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful and multiply in the earth” (Genesis 8:17). They re-filled it rather quickly indeed! And what the evolutionists are “willingly ignorant” of – to use the scriptural phrase again in reference to the Great Flood from 2 Peter 3 – is the greatly accelerated changes that make the biblical timeframe highly plausible.
Today, with science and educational institutions and their government and media outgrowths dominated by the evolutionary uniformitarian system, we are in much need of the message of biblical creation – including the all-essential piece of the puzzle – the Great Flood! God is using the mounting evidence in these times to expose the great deception which underlies the Marxist-Humanist worldviews of so many of the global elite.
