Your evidence does not support your claims.
And you forgot a very significant part of scientific evidence, it supports or counters a scientific hypothesis or theory. So you need a clearly stated hypothesis before you claim that that evidence supports you. And don't forget, all hypotheses are refutable. What scientific evidence would refute your hypothesis.
If you don't have the whole package you do not have scientific evidence.
Dear SZ, Thanks for your unsupported opinion. I notice you have your own technical definition of what is evidence and that you don't accept God's Truth as evidence. Right? If so, then remain in the darkness which is caused by your view that God's Truth is not to be trusted. God Bless you.
In Love,
Aman
Scientific evidence is evidence which serves to either support or counter a scientific theory or hypothesis. Such evidence is expected to be empirical evidence and in accordance with scientific method. Standards for scientific evidence vary according to the field of inquiry, but the strength of scientific evidence is generally based on the results of statistical analysis and the strength of scientific controls.
BTW, There has NEVER been a Global Flood on our Planet. The Global Flood which totally destroyed Adam's world, destroyed a much smaller world than our present Cosmos...BUT...it did happen EXACTLY as God told us it did, some 10k years ago, and Noah came to our world which was NOT destroyed in the Flood.
That is HOW prehistoric people inherited the Human intelligence of Adam. Like Cain, on Adam's world, Noah's grandsons had NO other Humans to marry, so they married and produced children with the DNA of the common ancestor of Apes, and with the Human intelligence of Adam, who never stepped foot on our Earth. We, the 7 Billion living Humans on Earth today, are those children.
In Love,
Aman
The Earth is not young, it is a mistaken belief from a misinterpretation of genesis.
Maybe because I'm getting fed up with having "scientific method" shoved down my throat by people who do everything but.
They don't proofread their posts, they don't read something that looks odd a second time, they post with broken quote tags, they mistype and misspell words, and on and et cetera.
All the while, telling us how our country is in 26th place in the academic world.
Whatever.
Please post a link to a definition of the scientific method that includes spell-checking. Are you trying to say that your rejection of science is based on spelling mistakes and sometimes poorly-considered posts on an internet forum? Are you sure it's not the fact that it produces results that don't agree with your beliefs?
No can do.Please post a link to a definition of the scientific method that includes spell-checking.

You're still displaying the lack of intellectual integrity I have pointed out several times now. You believe in the truth of Genesis and yet you are unable to defend it when it comes to the Flood. I and others have pointed out that the fossil record does not conform to the pattern predicted by your model. You have rather dishonestly tried to pretend that such a pattern exists by listing the appearance of general groups of organism while ignoring the fact that these groups contain a variety of different sizes. This means that their order of appearance does not support your Flood model. The fossil record is unarguably not organized by body size. You know you can't refute this and so have opted to ignore the evidence that proves you wrong, something you accused me of. Hypocrisy much?
It takes millions of years for fossils to form so I guess you think the flood happened millions of years ago?
So says you, but surprisingly we observe no fossils forming today, despite the claims it is happening. So what evidence do you base this claim on?
Considering we have evidence contrary to your claims of millions of years.
Mastodon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Mastodons (Greek: μαστός "breast" and ὀδούς, "tooth") are an extinct group of mammal species related to elephants, that inhabited North and Central America during the late Miocene or late Pliocene up to their extinction at the end of the Pleistocene 10,000 to 11,000 years ago."
The Cohoes Mastodon
"Mastodon fossils have been found throughout New York. One site especially rich in mastodon fossils is the Hiscock Site in Genesee County, New York. So far, more than twenty mastodon individuals have been recovered from this one site"
How many years for skeleton bone to turn into fossil.
"It can take anywhere from a few years, to a few thousand years"
Fossil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The study of fossils across geological time, how they were formed, and the evolutionary relationships between taxa (phylogeny) are some of the most important functions of the science of paleontology. Such a preserved specimen is called a "fossil" if it is older than some minimum age, most often the arbitrary date of 10,000 years."
So you have just chosen an arbitrary date of 10,000 years to call a fossilized bone a fossil.

" Determined by chance, whim, or impulse, and not by necessity, reason, or principle"

Mastodon fossils have not completed the fossilization process. They are the very things you say don't exist: bones in the process of fossilization...
No can do.
I don't reject science.
. How many years for skeleton bone to turn into fossil.
"It can take anywhere from a few years, to a few thousand years"
And yet you can not point to any fossil finds not found in sediments except for the very "RARE" occurrence, showing it is you that ignores the evidence.
Ignore the evidence all you like for the fantasy land you prefer to live in.
I'm new here and therefore unfamiliar with your views, Aman, so perhaps you could clarify. The following questions may sound snarky, but that's not the intent.
Is it your position that Adam, Eve etc were extraterrestrial humans?
and all the pre-Flood parts of the Bible took place on another, smaller planet (let's call it Eden)?
And the Ark was a space-faring vessel that traveled from the destroyed Eden to Earth?
And when they arrived the extraterrestrial humans, having no other option, interbred with the chimp-like ancestors of modern chimps?
Were these chimp ancestors already on Earth or were they from the old planet as well?
And if Eden is the planet created in the opening chapters of Genesis, is Earth then a separate creation event not documented in the Bible?
Was it created at the same time as Eden or only after God deemed it necessary to destroy Eden?
[/quote]This is all fascinating because I have not encountered this interpretation of the Bible before.
Do you want support? I can give you support. It is not my definition of what evidence is, it is that of the scientific community:
Who says we can't observe fossils forming today?
We don't have the same widespread depositional environments as there were in the past largely due to the fact that we are in an ice age right now, but that does not mean that fossil formation is not going on today.
Oh!! It is to laugh!!
Justa conflated mastodon fossils with fossilized bones of the dinosaur type.
Justa, when any old bones are found they are called "fossils" whether they have undergone fossilization or not. Frozen mastodon bodies are even called fossils at times.
The article you quoted even tried to make it clear that the process of fossilization is not needed for a bone to be considered a fossil.
