This is The Confederation Report, a weekly analysis of Canadian news and culture from a Biblical worldview.

Excerpt: Buried in Manitoba, a newly discovered armoured fish fossil has more to say about Noah and the Flood than Darwin and his theory of evolution.

Intro (00:00-00:34)

Part I: An Armoured Fish Fossil in Manitoba (00:31-3:07)
The recent discovery of an armoured fish fossil in Manitoba, though interpreted by evolutionary scientists as a 390-million-year-old transitional form, more plausibly supports the biblical creationist framework, given its remarkable state of preservation indicative of rapid burial consistent with the global Flood narrative.

Part II: Explaining the Fossil Record (3:09-6:29)
Contrary to the prevailing claims of secular science, the fossil record—marked by rapid burial, anomalous fossil layering, preserved soft tissues, and the theological reality that death followed the Fall—aligns far more coherently with the biblical account of a global Flood than with the assumptions of deep-time evolutionary models.

Part III: The Nature of the Flood (6:31-11:05)
The Genesis Flood, far from being a mythical or localized event, is presented in Scripture as a global historical judgment affirmed by both Christ and the apostles, corroborated by cross-cultural flood traditions and geological evidence, and increasingly supported by modern discoveries of subterranean water reserves—collectively underscoring its reality and typological significance as a precursor to final judgment and the exclusive salvific refuge found in Christ.

Did You Know? (11:07-12:50)
Sir John William Dawson, Canada’s foremost 19th-century scientist and Principal of McGill, upheld biblical creation while advancing geology and education, demonstrating that faithful Christianity and scientific excellence need not be at odds.

Recommended Reading (12:52-14:04)
Willem J. Ouweneel’s Adam, Where Are You? offers a theologically rigorous critique of the evolutionist hermeneutic, arguing that evolutionary theory is incompatible with historic Christian doctrine and undermines the authority of Scripture and the gospel itself.

Conclusion (14:04-14:50)
