About this Episode
Zachary Klein introduces the Mastodon State Historic site and why it is important to the Ice Age and the Biblical record.
How the first Mastodon found in Missouri became part of a carnival sideshow and then eventually to the British History Museum.
The difference between Mastodon and the European Wooly Mammoth of Siberia.
Then, Zach gets into an explanation of baraminology and the science behind this dating methodology and why it is significant to the archeological record.
The Mastodon is a separate family, separate creatures who were created to browse instead of graze.

Zach then goes on to explain what brought about the Ice Age and its impact on Mastodon and he ties it to the Great Flood of the Bible.
Little seasonal contrasts during the Ice Age added to our understanding of the arrival or timing of the glaciers of the Ice Age.
The bones at the Mastodon site are between 12-15,000 years old. Ice Age took place 30,000 years ago. Radiocarbon dating measures the carbon build up in the Mastodon bones. So, how did they determine if the Mastodons of the Park lived in the Ice Age. Then, they explained the calibration to date how old fossil bones and how they relate to the Creation model.
Coal seams in the Missouri fossil record determine when the organic materials was formed, died and decomposed and were compressed to create coal.
Animals at Mastodon were hunted and butchered there pointing the park as a hunting area by a nomadic tribe known as the Clovis culture. The first signs of the Clovis people were found in Clovis, New Mexico, thus the name.
The Great Flood of the Bible produced a climate change that allowed a rapid expansion of people across the earth. Genesis 1 is real and can be trusted.
The Bible’s account of the flood gave the earth a fresh start, not a myth. We can see evidence of it via the fossil record.
Zach then wraps up the video of the tour of the Mastodon State Park. The data collected at the park totally supports the Great Flood, the Ice Age and the Biblical Record.
