but when did tubal-Cain live? Creation was about 4000BC according to the genealogies of the line of Adam in Genesis. So tubal Cain lived five generations from Adam. That could put him at about 3300 BC when the Bronze Age was said to start. The flood occurred about 2000 BC so the Iron Age is when iron was in common use because clearly the were using it here with tubal-cain. I agree with you that the Iron Age started with tubal-Cain in 3500-3300 BC but the world is wrong not me.

Ken Jackson: "Fossils show marine animals all over the earth, even on the tallest mountains (which weren't tall mountains at the time)."

What do you think this proves?

As you suggest, the vast majority of them do nothing noticeable. We all have dozens that were present in neither of our parents. Few have any effect at all. And even when they do, if it's not at the active site of the protein, and doesn't noticeably change the shape of the protein, there still are no consequences to the organism.

And many others make a tiny change in the function of the protein. Most slightly degrade the function, and over time, these tend to be removed by natural selection. A few enhance the protein, or may even produce a novel function that is useful. These tend to be preserved by natural selection.

that insect is so cool . Those 2 “ horns” on its tail are scent glands . You can see something similar in some Modern roaches

and Coffee, Amber is formed from mainly conifer resin. Occasionally it does fall into shallow water but that’s rare! And by definition amber has to be millions of years old otherwise it’s called copal. In the USA people aren’t allowed to sell copal and call it amber

Dinosaurs arching their necks back to breathe ? No ! , like their modern descendants- birds , dinosaurs mummified sometimes before they got buried . When the neck tendons dry they shrink ,arching the neck backwards . That happened after death and only if the remains dried before being being buried . Archaeopteryx is a dino-bird . It shows the mosaic of traits that actually show up in real transitionals. For example, a Toothed jaw instead of a beak and solid limb bones instead of hollow ones, are the obvious ones that are easily understood by laymen. Of course ,there are others that a skilled anatomist would see are intermediate or mosaic but I’m just mentioning these 2 .


Even though genetic switches are involved in the evolution of one species to another in the same Genus ,this also applies to deep homology as well. For a single example, the same genes that form vertebrate limbs also form arthropod mouthparts and limbs . They are the same genes doing the same job . And it’s not just the limb formation genes. There are several genes that control body plans in the bilaterians that we all share . ( if you don’t know what a bilaterian is, you shouldn’t be arguing about common descent evolution)

But it makes a fine "just-so" story for those who imagine a worldwide flood.
