Challenge: Explain the fossil record without evolution

[Subduction Zone]

You need to start applying common sense. It's like you telling me an ice cube can lie on a hot sidewalk in the summer for hours.

And speaking of ice, it does float after all.

 

[Subduction Zone]

Once again...the strata wasn't mud when it was eroded. Got it?

So you are admitting that it took millions of years. Good, we are finally making some progress.

 

[Loudmouth]

Soft tissue says they can't be that old.

No, it doesn't. That is something you have made up from whole cloth.

The rocks demonstrate how old these fossils are. You haven't been able to produce a single mechanism that can explain the relationship between the ratio of isotopes in rocks and their geologic relationship to these fossils, other than they are 65 million years old. The dates stand on solid ground.

 

[Subduction Zone]

Soft tissue says they can't be that old.

Dang, didn't you already admit that that was not the case in the long cut and paste of yours that I responded to?

 

[Reasoning]

I understand that you being an atheist NEED me to be wrong to support your religion.

Not quite. I don't need you to be anything, if you are making statements that are wrong, you're just wrong. Atheism is no religion, it's quite the opposite.

It's kinda fun watching you evos squirm.

Well, I don't see you backing up your claims with real evidence...

 

[Subduction Zone]

I understand your error.

We are not squirming. We are rolling on the floor with laughter. You have not provided one threat to the theory of evolution yet. But you are funny.

 

[Loudmouth]

It's kinda fun watching you evos squirm.

So you can't address the geologic evidence demonstrating that these fossils are 65 million years old?

But it can't have been soft sediment either. It would have to be solid rock. If the limestone were all reef deposits they would start off solid, but that isn't the case for the sandstones or shales or even some of the limestones.

Look, -57, most of us have been through the song and dance with folks like you on this. The problem is people like me have a PhD in geology which means I've been out and looked at the rocks, I've learned how rocks function, I've spent years crawling across rock piles and even digging around in soft sediments.

Pretty much 100% of the stuff Young Earth folks come up with don't correspond at all with what is out there in the real world. In fact, almost all of everything we know from basic science and even common sense doesn't make sense when viewed through the lens of a Young Earth.

Atheism is quite the religion. (faith)

Your degree seems to be wasted. Riddled with error. Such a shame. I'd rather listen to the other guys who have a PhD in geology....

Thank you for flaming. I really dig the insults.

You are qualified to judge.... how, exactly?

If atheism is a religion, then not playing golf is a sport.

I wasn't aware not playing golf had its own entry in the dictionary or Wikipedia.

If you're sticking to creationist geologist, that's slim pickings.

It does. It is called "being idle".
