Transcript
Diamonds are formed 100 miles below earth’s surface. They can only survive in a narrow zone. Above or below this zone they break down into graphite, the so-called “lead” in pencils. This stable zone is actually found in rocks that were part of the original creation.
Diamonds are brought to the surface by “pipes” formed from molten rock and cracks in earth’s crust. This rough journey can easily destroy the diamond, unless it happens very quickly. The special conditions of the flood provide an excellent model for rapid diamond delivery!
So next time you see a diamond, remember it points to the truth of God’s Word.
