A fossil can’t form over a long period of time. There are fossils where the mother is seen giving birth to her babies. How could that happen if it wasn’t buried suddenly by a catastrophic event such as the Flood?

what science? and I've got a stepdaughter. who's a working on her masters in science
.. and she she can't answer the question about transitional fossils with millions of fossil to date to study .. your welcome to supply your evidence.

I'll wait for those proofs..

The mother died while giving birth. The creeks around here flood quite often, Im sure I have some traps from long ago starting to fossilize.

You have GOT to be trolling now. WOW.

You guys need to agree to disagree. Or accept that WI Outdoors ended this debate long ago.

Quote from an earlier post, "If there was a god he was a terrible designer."

While there have been countless outrageous, ridiculous, absurd, preposterous, statements made on Trapperman forums, this one tops them all.

In all fairness to the guy you are quoting; do you have any idea what he looks like? Maybe he got the short end of the stick.
Really though, just explore how it is that you can see, how your eyes work. It really is an incredible design. Then take a look at the design and function of a double helix DNR strand; absolutely mind blowing stuff.

A mother always searches and finds what she considers the safest spot to give birth. I would think that she wouldn’t be right next to a river that was about to flood. And how could a flooding river bury an animal that lives in the ocean?? That’s right, the animal I was referring to is an ichthyosaur. They were animals that lived their entire lives in the ocean.

Take a look at the all the cells that are in your body. Amazing isn’t it? Your eye is more complex than any cancer that scientists have ever made. Your brain is the most complex and sophisticated computer in the world. What are the terrible designs you are talking about?

Fossils are found on the tops of mountains also. Seashells arthropods and the link
There's been more than one flood on this planet, many more
The Earth rotates at 1000 mph at the equator, less at the poles
Imagine if the planet stopped spinning for say even 30 seconds, the water is separate from the land masses and will not stop moving. The wall of water from such an event would wipe most of the planet clean and and bury everything under debris

What would have caused the earth to immediately stop for 30 seconds?

Mountain can be explained because the earth was all one giant supercontinent after the flood. The earth was divided soon after. 'To Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth (erets) was divided' (Genesis 10:25). When the earth broke up it formed massive tectonic plates. These plates would collide with other plates and they would buckle up and form mountains. Look at the Appalachian Mountains, they were most likely formed when Africa slammed into the North American continent. If you notice in perpendicular line from the Appalachian mountains is the Atlas Mountains. Coincidence? I think not.

Husky, you must be a "young-earther"? I'm not, however, I am a Creationist. I think you may have been exposed to only guys like Ham and Morris. I can poke holes in these guys "facts" all day long. These guys are not credible scientists. You should check out John Lennox and get a different perspective from a staunch creationist.

BTW, some fossils are old, and some are quite recent. There have been both catostrophic and stable (uniform) periods of time during the earths history, both on a global and regional scale. The young earth folks want you to believe that there was only one global catostophic event that accounts for everything we see in geology. Neither physical evidence or the bible support their view

I was thinking this would be a good discussion, but you obviously already have your mind made up on the answers you want.

Think about any one natural living thing, animal, plant, etc., and if it were removed, what would be the consequences? The only thing in this world that messes up God's plan is man, for God gave him the free will to do as he pleases.

Husky,
Here's just a little taste of John Lennox. It will get you thinking.

This is a thread to contrast the two beliefs. It’s is not supposed to change people’s view.

Husky-
You would be surprised at what washes ashore and turbulance underwater. Factors have to be right for a fossil to form. For every Ichthyosaur thats found probably 300 got destroyed. and never found. Mary Anning got lucky.
