Hi Rick. Am I correct in believing you are a geologist or at least have some training in that field? I thought you and I talked about that once. If I am correct in that thinking I have an honest question or two for you.
I have a Master of Science degree from the Univ. of Memphis in Physical Earth Science with a concentration in paleoclimatology (1977). So yes, I do have somewhat of a background in geology.
Fossils are a rare occurrence, generally but not always, requiring rapid burial. I'm not sure what "you" mean by liquified sediment. Do you mean dissolved solids or transported sediment? Also, understand that burial can occur from non fluvial sources as well, such as volcanic ash, landslides, subsidence, wind blown loess, or sand to name a few.Where are all the fossils that have been made without liquified sediment burying them? That is to ask: "How many fossils were made without the aid of water loosening and liquifying the earthen material to cover them so they could be preserved?"
yes, as described above.Are there any ancient fossils that were made without the aid of water laden sediment?
I try not to belittle but I admit that I have crossed the line a time or two. I just want people to understand what the science says, not necessarily accept it. When science and the bible disagree, I do not try to enter into a creative interpretation. I just look at those stories as non-literal allegories with valuable messages. That way I don't have to invent a creative interpretation or deny anything to retain my belief in God. Right or wrong, that's me.Again, thank you for your time to read this and for your response. I know we may not agree, but I respect you in that you have never tried to belittle or berate those who disagree with you.
And God bless you.God bless you.
