Fossil Fish Pushes Evolutionary Time
CEH ^ | March 26, 2009

Posted on 03/26/2009 7:03:38 PM PDT by GodGunsGuts

March 26, 2009 — Quick! When was the Age of Fishes? If you said “Devonian,” you were correct according to the textbooks and museums, but where’s your evidence? Look at this diorama in the Smithsonian depicting the seas of the Silurian, the period preceding the Devonian: crinoids, trilobites, corals and nautiloids, but no fish. It may be time to change the artwork and the textbooks. A fully-finned fish, jaws and all, has been found in Silurian rock in China.

....

The collapse of a mythology – the fishless Silurian sea – occurring before our eyes. Evolutionists like to quote the maxim “absence of evidence is not evidence of absence” when they are confronted with the lack of transitional forms. That maxim cuts both ways. They jeer creationists about the lack of any “Precambrian rabbit” fossils, but notice two things about that: (1) use the same maxim against the evolutionists, and (2) the evolutionists have rigged the names and dates of the strata to prevent such a thing from being found. We’ve seen them reclassify a stratum from one end of the geological column to the other when it suited their purposes (01/03/2007). Finding a rabbit in a Precambrian bed would not make them abandon Darwin Daddy. They would just say, “Well, what do you know; this bed is Pleistocene.”

What do they do when they find human foot prints or other oddities in a time period that does not fit their charts?

I would imagine, the exact same thing. They simply rename the strata, or they say “thems aint no hewwwman footprints!”

Exactly! - Devoid of any honesty, the evolution promoters use circular reasoning in all cases.

As usual, young-Earth creationists lying for God.

Check out this paper from 1990!

http://www.springerlink.com/content/wx665m763u576832/

Published almost 2 decades ago!

I teach a course on the history of life. There have been fish remains from the Cambrian and Ordovician Periods(even earlier than the Silurian). Paleontologists have known this for a long time.

Only creationists are confused by fossils but that’s because they’re so ignorant (and full of hubris by thinking that never having actually studied a subject, other then reading a few ridiculous Christian books, makes them an expert). I alway thought hubris and deceit weren’t really Christian virtues but they’re exhibited daily by creationists. Hardly worth arguing about since no amount of evidence will sway people blinded by ideology.

I don’t know about human prints, but during the investigations on the Blackhawk Ranch, in the 1970s several tons of conflicting fossils were ordered destroyed, and buried by bulldozers. One laborer was even arrested for trying to preserve some of them.

You creationists are so confused that now I am even confused. According to you GGG, and the creationists, nothing died before 4000 b.c. and yet you are discussing deaths of creatures millions of years ago. Obviously there is some kind of logical disconnect going on here.

How do you reconcile the evidence that creatures died millions of years ago here with your spiritual beliefs that nothing died until 4000 b.c. when Adam fell?
