Why shouldn't we find terrestrial animal fossils in those terrestrial layers if YEC is true?

Because to have fossilization occur in animals we would need the present nature generally. The nature actually existing did not allow man or animals to be fossilized for the most part apparently.

Poor excuse, no reason or logic means by which physics could prevent analogous tissues of one species from being fossilized and yet allow others to be fossilized. We aren't so physically different from other creatures for any prior state to make that distinction, and it would be absolutely deceptive for god to purposely facilitate or allow satan etc to facilitate such an event

The reason is God said so. He said we were here and the animals from week one. Fish and birds too. There is no reason to doubt that. Science doesn't know what nature and laws existed in any way shape or form. We do not need to know why most creatures returned to dust fast!

We could speculate, but why bother? Man doesn't know it all! I would ask if perhaps the creatures that could fossilize had something affect their bodies such as scavenging or whatever!? Remember death was unnatural and a result of the fall of man. Creatures had to adapt fast to clean things up. Also, the creeping things created may have been 'mortal' Man and possibly animals may have been designed without death?


Regardless of reasons, that seems to be the facts on the ground....we just are not in the fossil record early on, in the former state.


It is all actually just a question of belief.

And there is the root of the problem, you assume your belief to be true, you assume the bible to be the literal word of a deity, you assume that it has remained unaltered enough for the message to be retained that clearly. Assuming a position is correct is to basically show you don't belong in the field of science. I don't assume a same state past, I observe all the evidence points to that being the case, and no evidence exists to the contrary. If you are unwilling to ever consider the possibility you might be wrong, science is not the subject for you.

You are making stuff up. What else fits with the past God told us about?? Why else would man not be in the record?


More blasphemy from dad. Not even the Bible makes the ridiculous claim that it is the word of God. It seems you believe in a terribly flawed god since your Bible has hundreds of self contradictions, bad science, and bad morals. And let's not forget failed prophecies.

I agree. That is the root of my 'problem'!




Assuming a position is correct is to basically show you don't belong in the field of science.

Unless science was correct it doesn't belong in places of respect and influence!

I don't assume a same state past, I observe all the evidence points to that being the case, and no evidence exists to the contrary.

Fess up, you first assume one. No evidence alone points to a present state past.

If you are unwilling to ever consider the possibility you might be wrong, science is not the subject for you.
The subject? Like a football is the subject of my foot! It is an enemy of truth and goodness and light. My relationship to science is like my relationship to a rattlesnake...I want it out of the way...and I have no intention of letting it's poison infect me.

More blasphemy from dad. Not even the Bible makes the ridiculous claim that it is the word of God.

Mr 7:13 - Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
Lu 8:11 -Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
Mr 13:31 -Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
Lu 24:44 -And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
It seems you believe in a terribly flawed god since your Bible has hundreds of self contradictions, bad science, and bad morals. And let's not forget failed prophecies.

Not to those who dispel the darkness and foolish doubts and miscomprehensions of this world and it's prince of darkness.

Science is about questioning. If you aren't willing to question your own position, you shouldn't try to be scientific to begin with
I like to know where the rattlesnake is, not because I want to be a rattlesnake!

I see you agree with me. Those verses could be interpreted in several different ways but none say the Bible is the word of God. In fact most of them are quite vague and say "the word". None of them define what the word is.

Thanks for confirming my claim, dad

In this instance, you can't know where the rattlesnake is without knowing how to look for it, and what to do when you find it.
Yes. I defanged it! Tossed it in the garbage can. Science is a little squirt when it comes to wisdom and creation.

Thanks, dad

More of the same. None of them mention the Bible, or since this is the Old Testament even a vague mention of the people that are supposedly writing this information down.

Do you have any other verses that show that the Bible is not the word of God?

Ever heard of a red letter edition bible? Guess what the red words are?

"Red letter edition Bibles are those in which words spoken by Jesus, commonly only while he was on the Earth, are printed in red ink."
