Lol, looking for a foraminifera and finding them do not constitute proof that they became something else.... What PR nonsense are you spouting?????

Hear tell the oil companies story your just blabbering..

http://energy4me.org/all-about-energy/what-is-energy/energy-sources/petroleum/#5

"In the unrelenting search for more oil and gas, innovation plays an unquestionable role. As large oil and gas fields become increasingly difficult to find, geologists, geophysicists and engineers employ new technologies, such as seismic, to uncover resources that just 10 years ago were unimaginable. Seismic is a technology that bounces sound waves off rock formations deep below the surface of the Earth to provide explorers with a picture of the subsurface, often revealing locations where oil and gas may be trapped. The technology of finding oil has even incorporated 3D visualization tools from Microsoft’s Xbox game console! The system will help geoscientists examine and interact with 3D models of the Earth.

In order to process the massive amounts of information collected from seismic surveys, mathematicians, physicists and other scientists are constantly developing new computer algorithms to find complex patterns that enhance our understanding of the land beneath us. If we are to continue finding new fields hidden deep inside the Earth, breakthroughs in computer processing power and data management are necessary."

But they do use fossils....

http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/fosrec/ONeill.html

"Nearby wells have been drilled through the Corsair fault and the section beneath the fault is easily recognizable by distinctive benthic foraminiferal "marker species". The proposed well was drilled, but unfortunately did not find hydrocarbons."

So much for paying those guys, might as well just use seismic data, oh wait, they did..... by the time they drill enough holes to give the paleontologists an understanding of the area they have usually already struck oil by blind luck..... and the sleezebag evolutionist then takes all the credit.....
I tell you what, you are more delusional than a wicker basket full of cats high on LSD.

1. You made an absolute statement that there were no changes in fossils over what geologists assert to be millions of years. I corrected you and you cannot accept it. If you wish to use the infantile concept that a formanifera is still and foraminifera then please do not pollute the science section of the forum with your misinformation, misunderstanding and kindergarten nonsense.

2. Oil and gas exploration makes uses of a wide variety of tools including seismic surveys, wireline logging, Logging-While-Drilling, core analysis, cuttings analysis, micropalaeontology, outcrop mapping, etc. As a consequence of the increasing sophisitication of all these tools, today wildcat wells hit oil/gas in commercial quantities in around 50% of cases, compared with 10% achieved back in the 70's. So, don't lecture me with the results of your Google searches when it is apparent you have close to zero understanding of the oil and gas exploration industry. (And of very little else you pontificate about.)

3. Don't bother replying. I should have left you on Ignore. CIBH.

I find it kind of peculiar having to explain something to people who apparently feel entitled to criticize stuff instead of getting knowledgable about it first.

It's not so peculiar...I can see myself, and maybe even you, criticizing Flat Earth before they are knowledgeable on it.

Evolution is just that ridiculous to some of us.

The creation is the evidence for creation.

Calling it "created" will not make it so.

I limited allowable changes to those that occur naturally, not in the fantasy of some scientist.

Naturally occuring changes, are the only ones that occur.
Or at least, that's what it seems like.

Not sure what your point is.

Mammals? We are discussing fish to land animals.... that if they came out onto the land permanently would be lunch.....

Lunch? For who?

You are jumping your evolutionary pathway by a few hundred million years....

And you are talking about sea-life starting to colonize the land and saying that it wouldn't be possible because the sea-life migrating to land would become lunch.

Of which land creature that doesn't yet exist then, is not clear.

Except they do, each worldwide flood laid down it's own layer, which is why the strata is ummm, worldwide, not local to each area as local floods do today.....

I'm not sure if you've mentioned this before but where did all the water come from for this imaginary global flood?

Does he say "abracadabra"?

Jesus speaks of the "great faith" of a Centurion as being above that which He has heard in all of Israel. Mat 8:10 The Centurion knew the power of the spoken word. In the end, you will be judged by your own words. Mat 12:36 Good luck.

It came from rain which collected into Lake Van, Turkey and it's still there. Adam's small world was totally destroyed 2 Peter 3:6. Amen?

Please don't trouble yourself responding to my posts anymore, I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to put you on ignore.

Thanks.

I could be nasty but I appreciate it when someone runs away from the debate because they have so little to offer. It allows me to reply with my own view while not having to listen to their's. God Bless you
