Where Are All the Human Fossils?

Yesterday I said no pre-flood human fossils have been found. Well why is that?

Well, fossilization is a rare event. It takes unique conditions—like those during the global flood. But humans are very mobile, fleeing to higher ground and clinging to debris. So many humans probably wouldn’t’ve drowned until the later stages of the flood, making it less likely they’d be buried.

Could we someday find a preflood human fossil? Of course. Most of the fossil record hasn’t been explored! But do we need to find one? No—we know the flood happened, and all humans not on the ark perished, because of God’s Word.
