Depends on the bacteria. Most of the old bones they find are from people that were killed at a young age. Often from a spear or arrow head. Young people do not have a lot of bacteria and the bones tend not deteriorate. Often they are doing a routine investigation of a murder only to find out the person was killed man thousands of years ago. This is also true of some of the Monks that purify their body of bacteria. When they die they tend not to deteriorate.

Where in the world, do you dream this stuff up?

fargonic, the evo-version of the bible creates its own errors.

So you are telling me you can't explain the chemistry? OK. Got it. I'm curious if you read the book you linked to and it was compelling for you....why can't you explain the chemistry?

Don't you understand that deposition rates are variable and that sediments can be deposited fairly rapidly by short-lived local disasters such as storms and floods? This does not mean that all sedimentary rocks were deposited rapidly.

There are plenty of sedimentary successions that do not contain fossils, or whose fossils occur only in thin beds covering small areas. Perhaps these rocks were deposited so slowly that their dead organisms were destroyed before they could be fossilised. If you argue that the presence of fossils in a rock requires rapid deposition, I can argue that the absence of fossils requires slow deposition.

Floods...now you're catching on.

If evolution has nothing to do with the organization of the fossil record, then people like -57 shouldn't have any trouble explaining its organization, with evidence, as would be on topic here.

I've explained it in a previous post in this thread. I believe I presented 5 methods...and the evos ran. What can I say?

Once again, I don't lie. I have no need to since the facts support my claims. Also it is against the rules to accuse others of lying here.
Is your claim to atheism based on facts?

Sure, if by "the evos ran" you mean that you failed to explain why shark teeth don't appear in the earliest strata along with other early life. Present links to real evidence in peer reviewed journals or you have nothing to say.

The rate of burial can vary quite a bit. Once again it is apparent that you have no understanding of the idea that you are arguing against.

Fossils are often found in the "death throse" position. The animals show signs of asphyxiation....head thrown back, hind limbs bent, tail extended. This stronly suggest rapid burial under muddy layers of now-hardened sediment which thwarted bacterial decay and predators. But then again you evos already knew that.

Yes, it is. And your question indicates that atheism is another subject that you do not understand. Let me help you. Atheism is simply a lack of belief in a god or gods. I can assure you that it is a fact that I lack such a belief.

That is a rarity. For most land fossils we only find single bones at a time. You are listening to lying sources again.

Atheism is a religion.

As I said in anearlier post...you don't get out much..do you?
Far more than you do. Why do you make these rather ignorant claims? If you have evidence let's see it. Otherwise we will know that you are sadly ignorant and misinformed.
