Mammoths in the Tundra? I Doubt It!

Q: What is wrong with this picture?

A: There is no way animals that size could survive in a frozen wasteland.

They would have required large amounts of food. And that is consistent with the stomach contents of the partially preserved mammoth carcasses found in Siberia. Their stomachs contained plants largely from a temperate ecosystem.

More and more evidence is being uncovered that those areas at the time had woody plants and flowers. That fits the hypothesis that these areas where ice free and at a lower latitude at the time. In fact, there was no ice age!

What is being confused for ice sheets to the 40th parallel was the ice cap at the time. And it didn't extend much beyond the Arctic Circle because the continents where in a different position at the time.

But rather than realize the obvious, scientists force their "evidence" to fit their preconceived bias and declare that Siberia and Alaska had these plants because it was warmer then than now. Really? They believe there were ice sheets as far south as Chicago and Germany but it was warmer further north in Siberia and Alaska? What a magical planet!

The mammoth's shaggy coat allowed them to live further north than today's elephants. But not in the icy, frozen tundra. Recent studies have shown that they didn't have as thick of a layer of fat as previously believed and they lacked oily hair like modern yaks.

Q: So how did their carcasses get frozen in tundra if they didn't live there?

A: The portion of the continent where they lived shifted north during the cataclysmic global flood.

These animals where killed in the flood, rapidly buried in mud and after the flood waters had receded their remains had been re-located to the arctic, because of a continental shift.

Not all of these animals were frozen and the ones that were, were NOT flash frozen a la Hollywood nonsense. It took weeks to months for the shift to transpire. In the meantime, they partially decomposed before finally being frozen. They remained in a frozen climate so their bodies where preserved for thousands of years.

It is sad that the love for evolution has so blinded scientists and that they have adhered to the Doctrine of Uniformity so blindly for over 150 years that they have wasted some great years of research and discovery that has gotten us nowhere. When geology was young, it was obvious to geologists that catastrophe's were the reason for so much of what they saw around us in our world.

As Allan and Delair point out in their book, Cataclysm!, the discovery of mammoth bones and carcasses were among the clear evidence of a cataclysm:

"Such discoveries greatly influenced the deliberations of many late eighteenth and early nineteenth century naturalists, for it was clear that, since these northern animals had been frozen instantly and had remained so until found, their demise must have been extremely sudden. Such suddenness betokened a catastrophically swift event, yet men like [James] Hutton and [William] Smith were discovering indisputable evidence that such catastrophes were rare. Just as clear was the fact that, for the ice and frozen ground enclosing these carcasses to have remained unmelted for the vast periods of time implied by 'Huttonian' theories, the destruction of the Siberian animals must, geologically speaking, have been very recent. 
Siberia and Alaska where ice free during the last "ice age" because they were not covered by the Arctic ice cap of the time. 
The Siberian finds increased naturalists' interest in the numerous mammoth and woolly rhinoceros bones which  had long been know from, and were indeed still being met with in, more southern European latitudes. These, it was quickly realized, generally occurred either in caves or rock fissures or in superficial surface deposits like sands, gravels and clays. 
Usually unconsolidated (loosely held together), these deposits were also largely unstratified (unlayered) and often of very irregular linear extent and thickness, exhibiting every sign of having accumulated under agitated conditions which had apparently affected huge areas of the globe more or less simulataneously.... Researches showed that the lowest of these deposits... usually lay directly upon solid bedrock, the upper surface of which, irrespective of the kind of rock involved, had frequently been smashed, fissured, striated (marked with linear ridges, furrows or scores), polished or pulverized into countless fragments... 
To most naturalists at the time it was perfectly obvious that some tremendous event had occurred which, among other effects, had fractured hard rocks over immense distances, and had deposited the resultant debris equally extensively as gravels, sands, clays and muds. The bony remains of the hordes of animals which had been destroyed by the event now lay within these deposits, which in north Siberia, had become permanently frozen. All these interrelated remains thus represented the debris of a form but now-broken world."

It's sad that the great thinkers of that age where on to the truth, but then mankind has been diverted for over 150 years into non-productive thought and the fruitless studies of uniformitarianism and spontaneous evolution.
