It’s a seal. There was a National Geographic special (or was it an article?) I saw/read over 20 years ago. Basically, there’s a remote, relatively snowless, wind-swept portion of Antarctica that scientists go to when studying forms of life in the bleakest if conditions, such as might possibly found on Mars.

Anyway, one spot had seal carcasses in various poses. All mummified with little decay but eaten away and their insides revealed in layers by the continuous effects of the wind over the millenia.

Time is not a fact in evidence. It is an opinion or an estimate based on a perspective point of view. Unless of course, there’s a Timex found along with the artifact.

Is takes much less faith or imagination to accept a positive Creator and a minimal timeline than nothing somehow doing something. Anything.

The former is how all things are observed, the latter requires an eraesal of logic and evidence.

But, have at it.

I decided to wait until my pancake mix, frying pan, stove eggs and bacon made me breakfast, you know, long enough and the ingredients all will combine as a matter of need.

Golly, I’m getting hungry, maybe I’ll act....

Yep I remember seeing that picture and the explanation as to why it was there.

Perhaps you are assuming I don't believe in God. That would have been true for the first 50 years of my life but no longer. God hardened my heart for a reason. For all things there is a time and a season. Men no longer believe in Zeus . What people believe now has changed because they became ready for that change.

We live in a Universe of 10 physical dimensions of which only 3 are what we get to experience living in. Plenty of room for God in the other 7.

“how anyone could believe the earth is billions of years is astounding”

Just remember, you can have the best mansion you can ever think of, not just the first one you think of.

Sorry, there is far more evidence of an older Earth than anything new.

Having a patient God waiting all that time for men to appear ...”

There is no time to God. Time is an invention of His which He is outside of. He can see the beginning and the end at once. I think that time in the terms that we understand it is utterly meaningless to him. For Him Time would begin when His Word was upon the earth and recorded and understood by at least one man.

Hi.

“Jimmy Hoffa found film at 11:00.”

I’ll be watching. I thought Hoffa was buried in the east end zone of the Meadowland’s stadium.

5.56mm

It looks like a seal or maybe a walrus.

"I was actually viewing the various carcasses that have been found in Russia......fascinating to see these finds of animals from the dinosaur years."

It's amazing what they are finding in the permafrost.

Yes it is.

I've been studying Russia's fascinating Siberia, Arctic areas, Tundra etc.and the developments they're doing in those areas. So it was eventual I'd also read of the finds they've discovered.
