Would you know it if it was?Is this hijack or the topic
A replenished earth.Where did all those fossils come from?
Either that, or there are 40 million, per the Smithsonian Institute.There are trillions of them.
That depends how you define complete. A better question: what is the relevance of your "good" question?Good question: Of these trillions [sic] of fossils, how many of them are COMPLETE plants and animals?
That depends how you define complete.
Here's a couple more good ones:A better question: what is the relevance of your "good" question?
Is this a reference to Sue? a T. Rex with 250 of approximately 380 total bones found?That depends how you define complete.
No, trillions of fossils. My source for the original statement was the excellent book, The Grand Canyon: Monument to an Ancient Earth. Another source is The Ark Encounter Sits on a Foundation Made of Trillions of Fossils which documents there are trillions of fossils just under the Ark Encounter.Either that, or there are 40 million, per the Smithsonian Institute.
But you're free to move that decimal place to force-fit your models and make them agree with other disciplines of science.
Uh no, its not that hard to do. The basic order of the layers had been worked out by creationists in the 19th century. Since then we have found dozens of ways to measure the actual age of rocks, and find a high degree of accurate correlation with the order that had been known for years.It might take you a few tries to get everything to line up (geology, dendrochronology, ice core dating, etc.), but with the aid of computers programmed to assist you, I'm sure you can do it.
No, it's asking what you think should be included in a complete fossil. Does it need to include internal organs? Skin? For a plant, does it need stem, roots etc?Is this a reference to Sue? a T. Rex with 250 of approximately 380 total bones found?
Accusing an entire science of being fraudulent, "for looking good".That's what geologists do ON PAPER, and it makes them look good; but they're wrong.
You haven't answered my question. Why do you think your "good question" is relevant?-- Okie doke! LOL
Here's a couple more good ones:
1. Of these trillions [sic] of fossils, how many of them are tools and other man-made implements?
2. Can one human produce 206 fossils?
That sounds like gibberish to me.I don't use a calculator to work out the age of the earth.
I use a calculator to work out how long the earth has been in existence.
As far as the earth's age is concerned, it is as old as God willed it when He created it.
(You still don't understand embedded age, do you?)
I wonder how many fossils the Smithsonian Institute sits atop?No, trillions of fossils. My source for the original statement was the excellent book, The Grand Canyon: Monument to an Ancient Earth. Another source is The Ark Encounter Sits on a Foundation Made of Trillions of Fossils which documents there are trillions of fossils just under the Ark Encounter.
Who cares what "I" think.No, it's asking what you think should be included in a complete fossil.
All fraudulence is wrong, but not all wrong is fraudulent.Accusing an entire science of being fraudulent, "for looking good".
Ask Sue.Can we add all astronomers, population geneticists, archaeologists, glaciologists in the bench of the accused too?
Would you know it, if it was?You haven't answered my question. Why do you think your "good question" is relevant?
Apparent Age can take a hike.I am well aware of the concept of apparent age,
Have a nice day, Merle.... in which some people claim the Earth was created to look like it had been around millions of years when it was created. That is the omphalos argument which I address in the OP.
You have vocally disapproved of the omphalos argument. You have repeatedly argued that most of the fossils were from the flood (and other Old Testament events) and that they were specifically rearranged by God after the flood. That is a very unusual argument. If you were to stand firm on it, I will address it further, but I see no need to address an argument in which the number of people known to currently support that argument is equal to zero. For you seem to have abandoned it.
So you seem to have abandoned both omphalos and rearranged-junk-from-the-flood-ism. Now you seem to say the earth was created millions of years ago in 4004 BC. That is simply gibberish. It violates basic math.
I may need to revive my old poem that explains that 2 + 2 cannot equal 10.
Those naughty scientist- Elmer Gantries!Accusing an entire science of being fraudulent, "for looking good".
Can we add all astronomers, population geneticists, archaeologists, glaciologists in the bench of the accused too?
Would Elmer Gantry know it, if they were?Those naughty scientist- Elmer Gantries!

What's going on here?What this chart shows is nothing more than what you could call "stretched time."
It's just taking the time this earth has been in existence (6021 years) and stretching it out to a distance of 4.543 billion years.
Assume you live on a street that is one mile long.
Now stretch your street out to a distance of 754,526 miles (4,543,000,000 ÷ 6021) and segment that distance into three major segments called Cenozoic Junction, Mesozoic Junction, and Paleozoic Junction.
That's what geologists do ON PAPER, and it makes them look good; but they're wrong.
Bring that 754,526 mile street you live on back to its proper length, and all three of those junctions exist side-by-side.
Assuming they don't overlap.
Merry Christmas!And your embedded age, maturity without history, Last Thursdayism bullquack can take a long hike of a short pier. I understand it just fine. I think it's a old of old codswallop.
