Answers to questions, as follows:
- Introductory biology textbooks stress how difficult it is for a fossil to be created. Soft parts (e.g. tissues) typically don’t last the test of time. Conditions also play a key role. That’s why we have a lot of fossils of organisms that were hard-shelled. Carbon dating reveals the ages of these organisms, which are often in the millions of years as opposed to young-earth creationist’s thousands of years time span.
- Natural selection.
- The question is clearly worded from a young-earth perspective. Dinosaurs died out sixty-five million years ago. We haven’t been around for that long. There are no human remains embedded in the same rock strata as the dinosaurs because we didn’t live together. People who ask questions like this must have loved the Flintstones as kids.
None of that matters to the people who will not accept evolution as a reasonable explanation.
That’s unfortunate.
I’m libertarian anyway. I shouldn't be grouped with the “Noah’s Ark Republicans.” I thank my parents for never sending me to Sunday School. I’ve actually read the New Testament as a consequence.
