And as soon as you also confirm the reality of the mantle being composed of compressed mater, largely in the form of highly compressed oxygen, hydrogen, silica, and carbon atoms, then everything about the ancient Ante-diluvian Earth (i.e., the earth before the flood) and the Deluge begins to rapidly fall into place, and it all makes great sense! Moreover, in so many words, what this all means is that when new matter is released . . . a whole new faces emerges on both the lifeless, geological world – and at the same time both the plant and the animal kingdoms change! Hence, it is not evolution that changes the species! In other words, it is the release of a great volume of new matter from within the mantle that changes the species – and it causes both a NEW plant kingdom along with NEW animal kingdom to emerge!
