Just remember to count for the production of heavy elements which evidently has taken two or three stellar generations prior to the formation of the Sun for them to have formed and been incorporated in the Earth.
A younger universe theory needs to account for this beyond the idea that God just snapped his “finger” and made it happen. Research into the processes that gave us nuclear weapons indicate this scenario is simply not so.
Zappa said (in an interview in ‘High Times’ I think it was) that Hendrix’ peak was “Manic Depression”. From a technical standpoint Zappa was better, and he has a much larger body of surviving work, but I’d rather listen to Hendrix. If I had a time machine, I’d sneak into one Zappa show, but sneak into all of Hendrix’. :’)
The problem with fossil evidence is in using it as either a final word, or as evidence for a particular geographic origin. Fossilization is rare. And of course, ultimately, it has to be both fragmentary, and in an indefinite relationship with living forms. Some are much closer and less controversial, of course:

The European population exploded with the introduction of the potato from Peru in the 1500's.
Ireland is the only modern country today that has less people than it had in 1840...
A direct result of the Irish potato famine.
Really? Who do you think God is? He is outside of time. Time means literally nothing to Him. When He made the earth was there a black sky or were there stars in the night? Light that would have had to have traveled years to get here. Were the animals fully formed or were they embryos? Was it deception on His part for carbon-14 decay or were there other environmental forces at work? Who resurrected a 2007 post anyways?
What I’m turning over in my mind is whether permanent quarters are feasible for large numbers of ancestral people before the birth of agriculture. Not sure how many places would have prey to hunt and edible plants on a year-round basis.
Surprising most people do not realize 'food' is a luxury.
Wanted to send you a link of Hendrix' hits which included Manic Depression but all found was one link with Manic Depression included in Hendrix' hits and the link was full of commercials. Dang commercials ... My intentions were good ...
A well-sited place would be used as a camp by any groups passing through. So now it could exhibit the signs of a ‘permanent’ site but would have been occupied only temporarily by different groups over and over.
Possibly that’s the case here.
A question that has haunted me since first introduction to theory of perhaps this planet has experienced a nuclear conflict, in the past. If there was a nuclear conflict, in the past, does that explain the dinosaurs ascension to the top of the ‘food’ chain?
Abiogenesis is a belief, biogenesis is the law. No matter how much handwaving is done.
We stayed for Hendrix at Woodstock. Would have gone home and gotten a shower if it was Zappa.

Manic Depression good. Purple Haze great.
remembrances of the music always went a little then a little more toward the deep end ... as in, the music was always a little more deeper than that (that being what was known) ... Highway Chile ... so many great songs during that time. A remembrance of a conversation back during the nineties ... the 20 something said I envy your generation because of the great music your generation grew up with. Walked a little taller that day ... and Thanked the 20 something.
God indeed made the universe. But it seems you’re throwing out a lot of stuff out of sequence.
God made the universe a natural environment, subject to physical laws He established “In the beginning”.
And you still haven’t answered with a better theory of where the heavy elements came from.
A lot might depend on whether fire was used for preservation, or even just drying. Esquimos dry fish, any tribe living on a river with periodic great abundance of fish like salmon in the northwest, or herring and shad on the Chesapeake Bay and Potomac could have had fish weirs, nets, enclosures, etc., none of which would preserve over hundreds of thousands of years or even tens of thousands. With a guaranteed supply of preservable food as well as regularly available plant and flesh food, settlements might have been rebuilt over centuries or millenia. This may be one reason there have been interesting finds tens of thousands year old along the Danube, also older than expected finds along the Potomac.
Wow!! What a great list. Thanks SC.
