Evolution. Pfffft

I already answered your question yesterday- you lied about my answer and went on.

What you are doing is desperately dodging the question of why there is no evidence of modern man from 66 million years ago- even though you admit that the fish existed 66 million years ago.

Sure you did.
Why do you believe them when they say 66 million years?
The half-life of C14 is 5,730 years.
If you know how much C14 atoms were present at the time, you can calculate time.
Scientists assume the ratio of C14 is a constant.
C14 is formed in the atmosphere from cosmic rays.
I challenge it is not a constant ratio.
Look dumb fuck, there are many, many different methods of dating, and most scientists use several when trying to establish a date.

All of which begin with general assumptions that the earth is 4 billion years old and everything has always been static. "Dumb fuck". Good one. Learn that in kindergarten last week?

Precambrian Time

Now does that look static, you silly ass?
Parroting outrageous time periods proves nothing.
The geological layering suggests that a short, abrupt time period, not a long drawn out time period. You don't get the clean abrupt lines in a slow process that you see over the entire world.
View attachment 116846
Something else is missing in all these abrupt transition zones. There is no evidence of streams or rivers. At some point you should find where a river or stream once flowed.

But you do see geological layering with abrupt zones in rapid formations. Like this one in Mount St Helens.

You also do not need long periods of time to form features that "take millions of years of erosion". This one took a few months to form.

#3 we have only your statement that coulee was created in a few months, no link. Looks like soft soils, so such is possible.
 
It is not my problem that you are too scared to address why you claim that a fish has existed for 66 million years- but there are no modern human fossils that go back even 6 million years.
I do not claim it, troll.
Go tell your mommy your diapers need changing if you can't answer why there is evidence evolution has been proven to be not true.

So you have repeatedly stated in this thread this and equivalent statements:
Weatherboy: The fact remains, a fish 66 million years ago is still just a fish

Since you have claimed that a fish existed 66 million years ago- where is the evidence that modern man existed 66 million years ago?

The premise of your entire laughable attempt to dispute evolution is based upon your claim that a fish has not changed in 66 million years ago.

If you don't believe that fish existed 66 million years ago- then this thread is a blatant lie

You first need to understand how fossils are created. They need to be instantly covered in silt. A dead creature exposed a few days will be consumed and spread over a wide area. Put a dead chicken in a rural field sometime for a week. You will not find any trace. At best maybe a bone or two a hundred yards away.
Only around 0.1% of fossils found are land creatures. There are good reasons for this, but that is for another thread. Your question of why human remains are not found with dinosaur fossils is good, but simply answered by statistical probability. It is why it is very rare to find even one what you consider human relative fossil, yet you know there has to have been many. This August I am going fossil hunting in Utah. All I will find are marine creatures. At best I will find footprints of land creatures as they walked in mud. That is because of the many reasons land creatures skeletons do not become fossilized.

Funny that.

I have found dinosaur fossils in Utah myself.

Not that I asked why human fossils are not found with dinosaur fossils.

So do you believe that the fish existed 66 million years ago- and humans did too? Or that neither existed 66 million years ago- and that the entire premise of this thread was you lying?
Why didn't you find any signs of a human ansestor? There should be trillions out there.

Fact remains:
  • ~95% of all fossils are shallow marine organisms, such as corals and shellfish.
  • ~95% of the remaining 5% are algae and plants.
  • ~95% of the remaining 0.25% are invertebrates, including insects.
  • The remaining 0.0125% are vertebrates, mostly fish. (95% of land vertebrates consist of less than one bone, and 95% of mammal fossils are from the Ice Age.)
No, there never were trillions of human ancestors. And there are quite a few hominoid fossils. Here are a few;

And back to my other point. No evidence of streams or rivers in any of the exposed layers. Anywhere.
Nice abrupt transitions between them suggests cataclysmic events, not gradual layering over time.
 
You are so full of shit. We trace river beds and there changes for millions of years. Such as the Columbia river for 20 million years.

You miss the point. At some point some layer in the world should not be perfectly flat, but have a dip where a river or stream once flowed at a diagonal angle. As you claim, there is hundreds of millions of years of work here to form these layers. Surely there would have been at least one stream.

BTW - glad you brought up the Columbia. The gorge was formed long after mankind arrived in the area. As well the Grand Canyon was not formed over millions of years as once believed. We now know one of the largest lakes in the west dried up long after mankind was on the scene and is today one of the hottest and driest places on earth. Death Valley.
Science is slowly moving towards the truth.

Whether you refer to fish in the ocean or reptiles like crocodiles, if they reach a stage in development that makes them successful in that stage, they no longer need to change to adapt. With certain primates (hominids), the opposable thumb, along with being able to stand upright helped them change, learn and get larger brains. A good example of evolutionary change over millions of years that can be followed, is the horse.

Each species that reaches the point in which it is very successful has no need to advance beyond that stage unless the environment or situations change thus necessitating physical changes. Among fishes, the shark has reached the point whereby it is one of the top predators and thus won't alter unless the environment or circumstances necessitate change. Evolution is that change which occurs when the circumstances and/or environment necessitate change for survival. The primary component in T-Rex collagen is that of "chicken." Researchers activating dormant DNA in chicken embryos created a facial feature more dinosaurial, while other researchers were able via activating dormant chicken DNA in embryos, to have teeth grow in those embryos.
The bottom line is that because a massive asteroid strike caused a global environmental change and because of this, newborn creatures following the strike had to adjust to their new habitat. Those that couldn't died out and those that adapted, survived.

You know you and science have no answers as to why evolution failed so you need to create strawmen to divert the topic. Thank you for thinking so highly of me, but it was not I who is credited with coming up with dates of new species found in the fossil record.

So you think DNA code can be changed by itself to an advantage in an instant of an asteroid changing the world climate?

A. Then stop worrying about global warming, it is a much more subtle change than an asteroid impact.
B. Go randomly change some code in your Windows 10 software and let me know how much better your computer runs. And hint - life is a tad more complicated than Windows 10 systems software.
 
If you want proof of evolution, you have only to look at the antibiotic resistant viruses.
Call me when a virus becomes a hamster.

Cute. But not really the issue. Antibiotic resistant viruses are, in fact, proof.
Getting a suntan does not have anything to do with the evolution of the species any more than a virus changing shape. It's still a virus.

Indeed it is still a virus. But it is changed. It evolved because of external pressure.

It is very different from its original form, hence the antibiotics do not harm it.

A virus is a virus and has always been a virus and always will be a virus.
