The Bible is inflammatory because it’s provoking.
Shells made of calcium carbonate have a chance of remaining unaltered - 500 million year old trilobites, for example.Thanks TG
I was aware of the 10,000-year fossil definition but initially left it out to keep things short and simple. It actually came up later in the thread. I was unsure if the level of mineralisation conflicted with the 10,000-year rule but you appeared to have provided the answer - it's a fossil after 10,000 years no matter what the level of permineralization.
I wasn't aware of the pollen 'eternal' shell. Do you know of any hard-shelled critters with a similar unremineralised shell?

Kinda gets right in there and strikes at the heart, doesn't It?
Get yourself a Bible and go down the street and talk to some children in their front yard, and watch how fast someone provoked shows up.
I don't think it will be the bible in my hand that provokes parents when I talk to their children in their yard.
I got into this very subject on another site with a poster (Dan Laurier), so I'll ask you the same question I asked him:
If you look out of your window and saw a lady with a 1611 King James Bible talking to your kids in the front yard, how would you react?
It wouldn't be the book that would bother me, it would be the stranger.
What if it was the pastor from your local New Testament Baptist church?
(A "he" of course. Not a lady, as in my previous question.)
So using the transitive property of equality if AV = God's Creation and Pond Scum = God's Creation then AV = Pond Scum or alternatively if AV = Creature and Pond Scum = Creature then AV = Pond ScumOf course it is.
Logic (the transitive property of equality) can take a hike now, can't it?
Sure thing.
Let's start with the online etymology dictionary, shall we?
creature
c. 1300, "anything created," hence "a thing" in general, animate or not, but most commonly "a living being," from Old French creature "created being; all creation" (Modern French créature), from Late Latin creatura "a thing created; the creation; a creature," from creatus, past participle of Latin creare "to make, bring forth, produce, beget," from PIE root *ker- (2) "to grow."
But that can take a hike too, can't it?
How does that change anything? You're still bringing up a stranger talking to kids in the yard. None of these individuals are known to me, nor should I have reason to trust them around children. Book or no book.
Then I rest my case.

The case is even more absurd using the examples of universe, creation and creatures, as the transitive property for equality is not applicable as universe and creatures are not even synonyms despite your attempts to show otherwise.
You're being willfully ignorant here.
And he's being willfully evasive.
As I said, I've had this conversation before.
This isn't my first rodeo.
That's no evasive, that's being bluntly honest. The book isn't the problem. It's the idea of having a stranger coming up kids and talking to them out of the blue.You're still bringing up a stranger talking to kids in the yard.

Off topic this is a thread involving fossilization not turning to dust.Suit yourself.
But when your body eventually decays to dust, don't come crying to me.
