Over a 20 year career, Shinichi Fujimura made one amazing archaeology
discovery after another. "He single-handedly pushed back the known
origin of Japanese civilization by hundreds of thousands of years,"
according to news reports.
His long hours at the excavation sites and a seeming uncanny intuition
for where the artifacts lay buried earned him a reputation for hard
work and international renown. The most prestigious national museums
displayed dozens of his finds.
Finally someone began to question his seemingly miraculous successes.
One of Japan's largest newspapers received a tip and investigative
reporters positioned hidden video cameras at the dig sites. Over a period
of months, Fujimura was caught on tape planting artifacts in the soil to
be "discovered" by him later.
At this point in the story, the Los Angeles Times reporter makes an
amazing admission: "Most of the 'proof' of discoveries is determined by
the age of the soil in which the items are found. Fujimura simply buried
newer items in older soil."
Dr. Kent Hovind, in his
Creation video series, exploded the theory that Fujimura was exploiting.
Evolution teaches that there is a "geologic column." This is an imaginary
column of layers of soil containing the history of earth's "evolvement."
"The geologic column is the Bible of the evolutionists," said Dr. Hovind.
But it can only be found one place in the world —in science textbooks!
Evolution depends on the theory that layers of rock and sand were
uniformly deposited on top of each other over billions of years.
And in these layers can be found a progressive history of the plant and
But nowhere in the world has such a column been found. When
evolutionists came up with the theory of the geologic column they made
up an imaginary drawing, picking and choosing from all different kinds of
geological formations to assemble their drawing.
They drew in a layer, gave it a name like "Jurassic" or "Cambrian" and
assigned it an "index" fossil such as the dinosaur or trilobite.
Hovind quoted from several textbooks that describe how these layers
On one page, the books will say that the age of the layer is
determined by the type of index fossil found in that layer. Then,
on the very next page or pages, they will state that the age of the fossils
is determined by the layer in which they are found.
Hovind also quoted evolutionists admitting that this is circular
reasoning and proves nothing. Yet, they refuse to consider that
evolution is really their religion and cannot be true science because
the evidence supporting the theory simply does not exist.
When evolutionists buy the lie that soil layers can be accurately
dated, they are open to the same deception that Fujimura used to fool his
nation for so long. Hovind exposed the deception behind both
archaeology and geological theories that rest on dating by
