Sedimentary rock covers almost 75% of the earth\u2019s surface. Have you ever wondered how sedimentary rock layers were made? Let\u2019s find out. Fill a pint jar with \u00bc cup pebbles, \u00bc cup of white sand (easier to see with white sand but any sand will do) and \u00bc cup of ground-up kitty litter with no additives (kitty litter is bentonite clay). Add water until almost full. Place lid on the jar and shake vigorously to mix. Let the jar stand until all the materials are settled and the water becomes somewhat clear. You should see some results of layering in 15 minutes. It will take several hours for the water to become clear (clay particles settle slowly). Moving water has the ability to separate sediments into layers.<\/p>\n

During the Flood of Noah\u2019s day, rocks were ground up in the cataclysmic flood, then transported and laid down. Evolutionists believe that sedimentary layers took millions of years to form, but with your \u201cflood jar,\u201d we observe layers being formed quickly. Sedimentary rock layers are not a monument to time; the rock layers are a monument to the Genesis Flood.<\/p>\n
