see in my first comment.

The fossil of your OP is not out of place.
It's 174 million years old, placing it firmly in the age of dino's.
Showing up a little sooner then previously believed, sure, but that's the equivalent of finding out that your dad is 2 years old then you thought he was.

An "out of place" fossil would rather be the equivalent of finding out that your supposed dad is 200 years older then you thought he was.

But why am I even bothering explaining this to you, right?

i will do it when you will answer my simple question about your prediction. again: if i will show you a case of 12354 instead of 12345 you will admit that evolution is false or not? why its so hard for you to answer?

The problem with your question, is that you aren't honest about "12345" vs "12354".

The fossil in your OP does NOT make it "12354". It's still "12345".

Nebraska Man's fossil was never put on public display?
You know very well that is not what was meant.

There's a word for deliberately misinterpreting people to annoy them online.

It was an obvious and well known to others lie, AV1611VET. It has even popped up in recent threads in this forum.
Hmmm ... maybe I should get around more, eh?

You're using something incorrect in an attempt to disprove something that is correct?

Come on, AV, you've been told about Nebraska Man before. Why do you bring up things that you know are wrong?

Where was Nebraska Man's fossil being housed, while his fame was starting to spread?

The problem with your line of argument is that you're leaving the door wide open to others using Inquisitions, witch hunts, geocentrism, support for slavery etc as perfectly valid accusations against Christianity. You leave yourself no room for rebuffing them without resorting to monumental hypocrisy.

If you have been paying attention, you will see that I have answered this question in post 401 where I said, "If your evidence is valid evidence against evolution, then I promise I will consider it."

I also answered it in post 387 where I said, "if you show me a fossil horse that was found in pre-Cambrian rocks, I will completely agree that it is impossible according to evolutionary theory."

Now stop your blustering and post your evidence or admit you don't have any.
why you keep ignoring my question? again: if i will show you a case of 12354 instead of 12345 you will admit that evolution is false or not? why its so hard for you to answer?

you said:: "evolution is not thrown away when a single piece of evidence is found that contradicts it"

so a 500my old mammal fossil will not be a problem for evolution. thanks.

a scientific theory is a theory that we can test. mean it can be falsified. the problem with evolution is that it cant be test. for instance: some evolutionists (like dawkins and others) claiming that if we will find even a single out of place fossil- evolution will be false. but we actually found many such fossils like this one:

New dinosaur found in the wrong place, at the wrong time

but as you can guess- they just push back the evolution of the creature and dont claim that evolution is false. the problem is that in this way any fossil will not falsify evolution. other evolutionists claimed that if we will find more shared ervs with far species than close species evolution will be false. but in this case they can just claim for convergent evolution or convergent loss or even ils. so even such a case will not be a problem for evolution, and therefore its not a scientific theory by definition. as a general note: english isnt my native so i may not understand some words here and there in general. thanks.

Science is cool and all but omniscience is way cooler!! ;)

I say 1 so:
24 September 2018 xianghua: Please give your example of an "out of place" fossil.
Remember that this is a fossil that is physically impossible to be in the place that it is found, e.g. a Precambrian rabbit.
but you said that even such a fossil will not be a problem for evolution. see above.

So, how is it out of place? What does it come before that it couldn't have? All this article is saying, is that we've learnt something new that we didn't know before. and Now we know. You know this is how science works, right?
by this way any fossil will be in the right place. so give me a definition of out of place fossil.
