Creationist prove their point

interesting, but how? They must have paid big bucks for the dino bones, which they say will definitely prove that the earth was formed as the Bible said it was


"Dr. Andrew Snelling, a geologist who works for Answers in Genesis, "[said] that the intact skeleton of this allosaur is a testimony to an extremely rapid burial, which is confirmation of the global catastrophe of a Flood a few thousand years ago," according to the museum."

In the interest of accuracy I demand that they produce Fred & Barney bones. Betty and Wilma can be included but only if they have Bam Bam and Pebbles.

Most large articulated vertebrate fossils were a result of rapid burial. It's how fossils are made. Many come about due to rivers in flood stage, landslides or volcanic eruptions. Snelling's assertions are absurd. This is not evidence of a global catastrophic flood.

Evidence of a global flood would be everywhere. But it isn't anywhere, lol. No real geologist could be so fucking stupid.
