Just like skeletons in a graveyard don't show a thing (other than the fact that death is real), fossils don't show a thing --- and they aren't even skeletons --- they're impressions of things.
I have no idea what point you're making.So much for evolution being against God because it involves death - you might want to have a word with him about this embedded dead things malarkey?

"Embedded dead things"???
- Show me death in Genesis 1.
- Show me that death isn't God's enemy.
That's Omphalism --- and I'm not Omphalos.If God embedded the old age of the Earth, that includes the thousands of ancient fossils that existed - never mind the actual remains of the more recently dead organisms.
That's Omphalism --- and I'm not Omphalos.
You're so dead-set on those fossils being as old as they are, you can't even categorize me correctly.
If you were to reverse-engineer these fossils, I think you'd see that they would only go back so far, maybe 4000 years at the most --- 6000 if you're lucky --- then disappear.
In my opinion.
Do you mind answering this question?So much for evolution being against God because it involves death - you might want to have a word with him about this embedded dead things malarkey?
Thanks!If I went out and imprinted a leaf on a 30-million-year old rock, would you assume a 30-million-year history?
Correct.Just as a point of technicality that confuses me. If we assume God's existence, and assume that God created bones in prehistory, then those bones would not be death because they were never alive. Correct?
Correct.
Do you mind answering this question?Thanks!
Correct.
I'll give it a shot.
"If I went out and imprinted a leaf on a 30-million-year old rock, would you assume a 30-million-year history?"
Probably - who's going to dig to the 30million year stratum and carve a leaf onto some rocks?
And if you're going to say Goddidit, then yet again, the Bible epic-fails by way of explanation.
That is correct --- although it would, in my opinion, constitute Omphalism --- nevertheless, yes, that's correct.Okay, so if Bones created ex nihilo were never alive, and therefore not technically dead, then the creation of bones during Genesis 1 would not be the creation of death during creation week.
I don't believe He created impressions of bone within coal, myself; but, yes, someone who is Omphalos could give you [and me] a run for your money.Ergo, the question about the existence of bone within certain forms of coal formation during creation week is valid, because this does not constitute the existence of death during pre-fall existence.
And if He didn't make evidence for evolution?Fair point. But then again, if God made the evidence for evolution, then there can't be much wrong with it
That is correct --- although it would, in my opinion, constitute Omphalism --- nevertheless, yes, that's correct.

Problem is, there are physical differences between a 30million yo rock carved with an imprint, and mud that was imprinted with a dino foot and hardened to survive the next 30 million years. This is why we can usually tell fake fossils (dinosaur and human footprints together) and real fossils ( dino butt imprints http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0004591 ) apart.
I completely realise that. I just wasn't going to get that technical on a question that didn't warrant or merit it.
It's like what a (NASA?) researcher said to the moon-landings-were-faked conspiracy theorists who said they even faked the moon rocks too - "Honestly, it would be a much easier task to just GO TO THE MOON AND GET ONE."
And if He didn't make evidence for evolution?
Or the imprint was put there less than 6000 years ago --- yes.Okay, so you believe that the fossil impressions left in excavated coal did not happen during creation week, but rather happened after creation week? If this is correct, then that would mean that you believe any coal that contains fossils was created less than 6,000 years ago- Is that right?
Hahahaha! That's an awesome quote.!
Well --- I'm still waiting to hear why Embedded Age is wrong --- and I have a feeling I'm not going to, either.Either we'd be discussing some other theory, or perhaps there actually WOULD be evidence for the creation account as it literally stands.
