  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Behind a Shopping Centre in New Jersey, Signs of a Mass Extinction
"MANTUA TOWNSHIP, N.J. — Behind a Lowe’s home improvement store here, scientists are methodically scraping and sifting through a quarry pit that may contain unique insights to the mass extinction that eliminated the dinosaurs."
This is a bit late, I know (article published on 4th of January) but this is quite big as far as paleontology goes.
So far, all the fossil beds found show are formed via some natural phenomenon .i.e flash flooding, landslides, sandstorms, etc, but to have a fossil bed that can be linked to the actual KT Extinction? That's quite big.
Although, I don't why, but the fact it's in New Jersey, I find quite funny. Don't why. Probably because of how the American media seems to treat New Jersey.

And please, before we begin: please, do not talk about the Flood or anything to do with the Bible or Young Earth Creationism. Let's just talk about the actual article and what it says.
