A Mammoth Discovery

The frozen remains of a baby mammoth discovered in 2007 are stirring up talk—especially because the mammoth is “remarkably preserved,” National Geographic News reports.
Found in the icy north of Siberia, the mammoth—named Lyuba—looks nearly lifelike. The photograph best shows how amazingly intact Lyuba is, with even eyelashes and clumps of brown wool remaining. Hers is the most complete woolly mammoth body to have ever been found.

According to the model of a post-Flood Ice Age (which Oard explains), the frozen mammoths we find today would have been preserved only a few thousand years ago.
By contrast, old-age scientists consider Lyuba to have died some 37,000 years ago. Yet even Alexei Tikhonov of the Russian Academy of Science notes, “When you look at [Lyuba], it’s hard to understand how she could have stayed in such good condition for nearly 40,000 years.”
We also see evidence that mammoths and elephants may have been part of the same created kind. Adding a small bit of evidence to that view, the Telegraph article notes that the scientists discovered...

Ping!
Ooops, I should have said “evidence of post-flood ice age?” in the parenthasis in the title. Oh well.
I’m not quite sure how mammoths could be wiped out in the Flood and then subsequently be around for a post-Flood ice age.
I'm not sure where these "scientists" get off saying the mammoths are up to 40,000 years old when we all know the world is only about 6,000 years old. Duh!

See my reply in #3. My mistake.
You should also find a lot of Mammoth evidence between Mount Ararat and Siberia if the two that where on the ark, had babies and migrated all the way up there.
And if mammoths were on the ark, and the Ark came to rest on Mt. Ararat, how did mammoths get to North America? And without leaving a fossil trail on the way there?

Amtrak?
Thanks for the ping!
Shouldn’t these fairy tails be posted under religion?
But beyond that, how did it come to pass that certain animals are only found in the Americas and in Australia if all animals radiated from Mt. Ararat after the Flood?
Well, from what I understand, the Level 16 Mage rolled a 19 (out of 20) on his teleportation spell, but sneezed when he released the magic, so the animals were scattered across the globe... /Dungeons and Dragons
==how could the mammoths be wiped out in the Flood and then still be found in post-Flood ice age times?
If Mammoths are members of the same kind as elephants (which were of course taken aboard the Ark), I don’t see this as a problem.
==And if mammoths were on the ark, and the Ark came to rest on Mt. Ararat, how did mammoths get to North America?
I have never looked into this specific issue, so I consulted a globe. It seems to me, if the ice-age in question enlarged the ice in the arctic regions, that would give the descendents of the animals and the people of the Ark direct access to North America simply by traveling north from the Ararat Mtns.
Nope, but you are welcome to post any threads dealing with Darwood’s fanciful creation myth under religion if you like.
AMEN!!!!
And, you would think that an Ice Age, mile thick sheets of ice, snow for 10,000 years, would have been at least mentioned, in passing, somewhere after the Tower of Babel, perhaps, squeezed in before Moses...
They are not. They are a distinct species - Mammoths had long, curled tusks and were covered with dense hair.
that would give the descendents of the animals and the people of the Ark direct access to North America simply by traveling north from the Ararat Mtns.
Yeah, grazing animals can survive a trek of a thousand miles over barren ice.
