Why are there no cows in the Devonian?

I hate to ask this but I feel I must.

It is that the Bible is never wrong or is it that your interpretation of the Bible is never wrong or is it both?

Just curious,

Dizredux

The Bible is never wrong.

Matthew 5:18 New International Version (for you to understand better)

For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.

Same verse but in the King James Version:

For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

In the Hebrew language a jot is the smallest letter, just like a dot.

This verse is saying that not one little dot, not one letter, not one word will disappear UNTIL EVERYTHING IS accomplished!! And that of course is after the earth and heaven will disappear (Révélations)

Do you get the powerful thing that Jesus just said right there? That's pretty powerful if you ask me.

No, it simply does not. If the "flood model" had any truth to it, we would find cows everywhere in the fossil record.

Uh huh, cuz water just shakes and stirs everything up into a big jumbled mess right? Kind of like a cartoon?

Youtube this: Drama in the Rocks part 4/4

Moving water is a mechanical sorting mechanism. Hydrology experiments actually show how water forms distinct horizontal strata like we see all over the Earth today. A global flood would not just jumble things around willy-nilly like you imagine.

A global flood would not produce the fossil record we see. How does a global flood sort both rocks and fossils so that fossil species are only found under rocks with specific ratios of radioactive isotopes? Explain that one.

Yes - by granual size, because, obviously, heavier rocks will sink to the bottom.

This is not what we observe in the fossil record.

The Bible is never wrong.

Then what were Jesus' last words?

Were they...

A. "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
B. "Father, unto thy hands I commend my spirit:" and having said thus, he gave up the ghost."
C. "It is finished:" and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost."
or D. None of the above.

It easily explains why we find no mammal fossils in the Paleozoic. As well as several other major trends.

No, it doesn't explain that at all. I went over this in a post you ignored. Contrary to your unsupported belief, not all aquatic mammals are fast. Some are quite slow. And you're completely ignoring whole orders of marine reptiles. Not just one or two - dozens and dozens of them.

It doesn't. The rocks frequently produces irregular results which evolutionists proclaim to be "contamination"

You keep talking about a "general pattern" and "major trends". But these patterns only exist if you generalize the qualities of the groups you mention to a ridiculous degree. In other words, the pattern doesn't actually exist.

You have no idea about what you are talking about, do you? Saying that mammals and birds are sister groups is not the same as saying that birds came from mammals. But by all means, keep creating your strawman caricatures of evolution and "defeating" them.

Did you know the Archaeopteryx is like a chimera? That is to say it is like a platypus in its form.

"Paleontologists have tried to turn Archaeopteryx into an earth-bound, feathered dinosaur. But it’s not. It is a bird, a perching bird. And no amount of ‘paleobabble’ is going to change that." Alan Feduccia, a world authority on birds at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and an evolutionist himself.

While "goddidit" might be an easy explanation, let there be no confusion as to whether or not it's the right explanation.

Alan Feduccia is a very controversial figure. Most of his views on bird evolution are not accepted and flatly rejected by the scientific community. His views do not represent the consensus on this subject.

Do you have any idea why he may have said this, or are you just Googling quote mines?

Dr Carl Werner’s book and DVD, Living Fossils, reveals that fossil researchers have found many modern bird remains with dinosaurs, yet museums do not display these fossils, thus keeping this information from the public. By keeping this information hidden, children and adults are indoctrinated with the false idea that animals changed over time (since the time of the dinosaurs), and that evolution is true.

Incorrect.

Radiometric Dating

Not only do they work, but they agree with other dating methods.

And even if what you said was true, it's undeniable fact that the lower strata returns longer ages, and the ages getting younger and younger as you go up. If it's so unreliable, why do we see this order?
