Fish that die in the sea wouldn’t stand much of a chance of not being eaten pretty quickly. That alone flies in the face of an edible item being ignored for an evolutionist’s needed millions of years to turn into a fossil.

most dead fish float; they don’t sink.

Temporarily, then they sink to the bottom like everything else. Leaves on the water float...then they sink.

C’mon...

There’s no gotcha: I’ve ALWAYS learned, including from very old books, the circumstances which lead to fossilization are very unique and rare. And that this presents a great challenge to scientists trying to understand what ancient fauna was really like: are these the organisms that were common, or just the ones that were most readily trapped in sediment?

But what this video does NOT explain is why fossils correlate so well with radio carbon dating and layers. Now, there are plenty of gotcha games: a T-Rex’s skull is large, so unlike silt, it will project upwards. And sedimentation does rarely progress at a perfect, gradual rate. And erosion does mean that sometimes a fossil is found within younger rocks. That’s all why U-236 dating, which is 99 to 99.9% precise, is so important.

I don’t know exactly how to interpret the 11 chapters of Genesis which take place before Abraham provides us with a witness. I find it no harder to accept that God created an old-looking universe than that Adam had a belly button. (Think of why he had one.) But the universe does genuinely appear old.

As a recovering catholic, I have no bone in the fight when I state that there are many paradoxes in the 'bible'.

For example,

https://hermeneutics.stackexchange.com/questions/73790/a-living-soul-cannot-exist-without-a-body-gen-27-1-cor-1544-45-but-killing

https://www.openbible.info/topics/human_soul

I will not debate this, only to state that humans wrote, translated and translated again a collection of texts which would become the 'bible' under the church, the most accurate texts being the very oldest writings discovered on the scrolls.

That stated, the 'word of God' is open to interpretation due to said translations by imperfect humans and, despite biblical scholars rewriting and retranslating the texts over thousands of years, there exists even today significant inconsistencies.

For example, to take Genesis literally, there were no souls in the beginning (e.g., God 'created Heaven').

Faith is to each his own, and if we all agreed on one version of 'word of God', there would be only one religion, one church and one text.

So, feel free to debate, but technically religion and science are diametrically opposed, and thus direct comparisons - i.e., fossils vs. creationism - is antithetical to logical thinking.

Metaphorically, this represents the 'science vs. religion debate':

So where are the studies showing how fish fossils are formed?
Someone should be able to demonstrate this?
Set up a lab with a bunch of fish tanks, and then run different scenarios of fish kills. Which ones result in petrified fish?
We have pretty good evidence that rapid burial is a factor.
But the mostly juvenile comments in this post are not helpful.

I’m interested in fossils, having grown up fossil hunting in a area full of them, so this video was very interesting to me. I’ve seen lots of fossils of sea animals in mountain tops, which is amazing. We also have heard of fossils created during catastrophic meteor strikes as well.
