Thorns and Thistles Before Sin?

Shop Now

Did you know we find fossil thorns and thistles throughout the rock layers in our earth? Now, many Christians believe these rock layers were deposited slowly, over millions of years. But this belief causes a major problem! You see, it puts thorns and thistles before sin.

Now, the Bible tells us that they’re a consequence of sin, part of Adam’s punishment for rebelling against God. They’re a result of the curse!

But if the fossil record is millions of years old, then these thorns existed before sin by millions of years. This would mean the Bible is in error!

God, the ultimate author of the Bible, cannot lie. The rock layers are young, laid during the flood.
