Creation science Quote by Ken Ham
““John Woodmorappe’s studies indicate that there are about 700 million cubic kilometers, which translates to about 168 million cubic miles of Flood sediment.13 Dr. John Morris states that there is about 350 million cubic miles of Flood sediment.14 However, this number may be high since the total volume of water on the earth is estimated at about 332.5 million cubic miles according to the U.S. Geological Survey.15 So, a small human population and massive amounts of sediment are two prominent factors why we haven’t found human fossils in pre-Flood sediments.””
