The order of fossils in the geological column

[Armoured]

Speciation can happen very rapidly, especially in stressed conditions and it has nothing to do with Darwinian Evolution.

How does that work, then?

My source was here: Koala - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Other trees a Koala will eat from: https://www.savethekoala.com/about-koalas/koalas-diet-digestion

(They also eat mistletoe and box leaves as well as leaves from the wattle tree, tea tree and paperbark tree.)

They do have cheek pouches.

FROM YOUR OWN LINK! Koalas like a change, too, and sometimes they will eat from other trees such as wattle, tea tree or paperbark.

OK, so they have cheek pouches, and will occasionally eat from non eucalypt trees. So hey, I learnt something. How does that get them from Turkey to Australia?

LOL

It'll be a hot day in Helsinki when anyone around here quotes me.

If it wasn't for an Arab phone, I really don't think anyone would even give me the time of day.

Whatever dude.

Give it up, bro.

These transsubstationists believe their alcohol and bread literally become the body and blood of Jesus Christ on demand; but hide behind clipboards when it comes to others believing what they believe.

It's called feet.



I'd also hazard a guess that they followed the trees they like to eat from and settled in Australia eventually.

Eucalyptus can grow in other areas. But I suppose since it isn't there now, you suspect it has never been there.

 

[AV1611VET]

Whatever dude.

How about we get back to your kolas and how you think they got to and from the Ark?

Let's see your explanation?

Then, if you don't mind, may I misquote you so as to ridicule it?

Or can't you take what you dish out?

Uh-huh. Ever seen a koala move on the ground? And what are they supposed to be eating all that way? And how did they cross the various bodies of water in the way?

Um, I'm sorry if this wasn't clear from everything I've said, but I don't actually belief koalas or anything else had to cross continents and oceans to get to the ark, because I don't believe the ark story is literal history.

My "explanation" as such, is that the whole ark/flood story was possibly a folk memory of the Black Sea inundation event. Of course plenty of other serious scholars think it was just the folk memory of a really big terrestrial flood. Either way, no teleported koalas or flying clams required. Feel free to quote me.

Um.... hadn't there just been a world covering flood? You think after the waters receded there would have been trees, eucalypts or otherwise, still standing?

Okay ... your belief is noted.

So is ours.

What's your problem now?

Eucalyptus and other tree leaves like the Paperbark, Tea Tree or Wattle. What else?

How do you know the bodies of water today were there at that time? Uniformitarianism?

Again, hadn't there just been a world wide flood? How many trees do you think were left standing?

So... evolution over millions of years and old Earth geology is impossible. But the idea that the continents where all together, and moved to their current positions in the last 4000 years without anyone noticing or commenting on it, is just fine?

10 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
11 And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
12 And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.
13 And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.

Hey, I KNOW there's problems with the story. YOU'RE the one supposed to be telling me how it all makes sense. How did all these trees survive total immersion for however long?

 

[lasthero]

Correct me if I'm wrong, ED, but I seem to remember your position being that the continents broke up during the flood. Not afterwards. How does that picture help you?

Eucalyptus and other tree leaves like the Paperbark, Tea Tree or Wattle. What else?

If they can eat those things, why would they go all the way to Australia? And you seem to be implying that Eucalyptus might have grown in other places in the past, so, again...why would they bother going to Australia, then?

And why are you ignoring his point about what flood waters do to plants?

Not to mention a distinct lack of fossil eucalypts anywhere other than Australia. Sure, they CAN grow pretty much anywhere. But I know of nothing to suggest the DID until after 1776.

Just don't quote their exact claims, because apparently that's "ridicule".

When you are out of ammo, play the victim.

In the eight years I've been here, I can say I've probably been linked very few times.

Their method of choice is to quote me ... misquote me, that is.

They know better than to link me.

That's the first thing I noticed when you started your "teleporting" junk -- you "quoted" me, you didn't link me.

Had you linked me, they would have seen that I was saying in essence: GOD DID IT.

Tree in Mangrove swamp. Doing just fine in submerged water. The white cedar, eastern hemlock, loblolly pine, black spruce, red maple, elm, pin oak, and birch also live in that swamp, in watery conditions. (Trees like water you know.)

Many of the trees regrew from seeds. Noah waited weeks after the flood waters receded and until trees started growing again. Did you not read the scripture link I gave you?
