So you are a young earth adherent and you have the gall to demand answers from me concerning the origins of evolution.
I am not YEC. I think the soft tissue phenomenon gives rise to the suspicion that the fossils are of animals perhaps not as old as initially thought.
I think you can be Older Earth and think your fossil remains are not AS old as first conceived.
So can you give me a date for the extinction of the dinosaurs and while your there you can dismantle the fact of continental drift.
No. I cannot give any date for mass extinction events.
I will say that I think from the time I was a child until today, I noticed mass
extinction theories to rise up and be more and more proposed.
At first a lot of the illustrations I saw of prehistoric times seemed to have dinosaurs and volcanoes in the background. Then I heard of killer comets, maybe killer gas from out of the ocean, killer ice ages, or other extinction events.
Now it is pretty much taken for granted that something brought that earth epic to a close, and possibly more than once.
As a Bible student that struck me as science theory inching closer to what is conveyed in the Bible. Creation - then the earth became waste, void, empty, judged, chaotic and needing reformation and new life.
I noticed that Noah built the ark using pitch. And that is a petroleum product that was in the ground then at that time. And that suggests long buried organic life become an oil product.
"Make yourself an ark of gopher wood; you shall make rooms in the ark and shall cover it within and without with pitch." (Gen. 6:14)
If RJHinds were here he would tell me that that meant resin from a tree.
So not everyone thinks that verse indicates fossil fuels in the earth already before the flood. But I presently believe that.
Anyway, the past is history.
And much history is none repeatable matter not subject to the scientific method
in that regard. Much evolution theory is a theory about
history.
