Why are there no cows in the Devonian?

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

Now why would it be a wrong explaination if God Created everything? How is that WRONG?

Isn't He capable of miracles? Yes or no?

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.
Modern birds with dinosaurs

And here come the conspiracy theories.

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?

Biased assumptions of scientists!!!!!!!!!

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.

You also claimed we should find hippos and cows because they aren't fast runners. Youtube running hippos and cows. Those animals can cruise when they want to. Your arguments are just hand-waving.

A global flood offers an explanation of the fossil record and this bothers you. You don't want the Bible to be true.

Hello person, Also we forgot to mention that all fossils in this world have NOT been discovered yet!

Each new fossil found actually keeps changing the Theory of Evolution!!

1. It's wrong to assume a god/s exist without evidence.
2. It's wrong to describe what we don't understand as miracles.
3. It's wrong to assume that if a god/s exist, that they necessarily are capable of miracles.

They're certainly not any faster than a velociraptor would be. Most research indicates that dinosaurs were quite active animals. They weren't all the slow, lumbering behemoths you imagine. So were quite small and nimble.

A global flood offers an explanation of the fossil record and this bothers you.
Again, I agree that your explanation works, if we ignore all the ways that it doesn't work. In the same way, the Carolina Bobcats are undefeated...if you ignore all the times they've lost.

You don't want the Bible to be true.

Oh, crap, you got me. I totally would accept everything you're saying, but I just don't like the Bible being true. How have you ever managed to see through my facade? Woe is me. Not unlike Sisyphus with his boulder, I am forever cursed struggle against the unyielding weight of your solid yet curiously unsupported arguments.

In spite of evolutionists’ assumptions to the contrary, the fossil order can be explained in a creationist framework, which actually avoids some of the contradictions of the evolutionary view.3 The ‘fountains of the great deep’ (Gen. 7:11) would logically have buried small seafloor creatures first. Water plants would generally be buried before coastal and mountain plants. Land creatures would be buried last, especially the mammals and birds that could escape to higher ground. The more intelligent creatures would find a way to escape until the very end, leaving their bodies nearer the surface, where post-Flood erosion would destroy most evidence of their existence. Humans would have been most resilient of all, clinging to debris and rafts, before they died of exposure; their floating bodies would have made easy meals for scavenging fish, so would not have fossilized as readily. Most mammal and human fossils are post-Flood.
Refuting Evolution 2 -- chapter 8: Argument: The fossil record supports evolution
Anya, you are referring to is Differential escape, one of three different, well-known YEC arguments against the fossil record, the other two being Ecological Zonation and Hydrological Sorting.

I've already dealt with Ecological Zonation here

What you are describing is Differential Escape. It fails to explain the fossil record as we see it.

Here's just one reason:

"Fossils are not sorted according to their ability to escape rising floodwaters. If they were, we would expect to see slow-moving species like sloths and tortoises and every low-elevation plant at the bottom of the fossil record, while fast-moving species, such as velociraptors, pterosaurs, and giant dragonflies, would be at the top. But this is nothing like what we actually observe; in many cases we find just the opposite. For example, in undisturbed strata there has not been a single sloth fossil found below even the highest velociraptor remains, and flowering plants do not appear in the fossil record until after winged insects and reptiles."

You need to understand something here.

The Bible is The TRUTH period. Whatever it says is true, no exceptions. I base my belief on this book. The Bible is never wrong.
The problem is that YOUR INTERPRETATION of the Bible can most certainly be wrong. Anyone's can be. That is the problem with trying to use the Bible as a science book.

My job is to try to inform people here about the lies, inconsistancy, and assumptions about the Theory of Evolution. All the things it stands on have problems.
What "lies" exactly are you talking about?
