There are 110 million year old fossils of crocodiles. There are not fossils of horses, house cats, cows, or any of thousands of species from that long ago age. If the creationists are to be taken as correct there should be fossils of all species dating to 110 million years ago. Else, the God of the Old Testament is without viable continuity of purpose and reason.
The only truthful argument against this theory is that the God of the Old Testament created even the fossils in place. Would this be to confound humans and cause strife in their midst? However, there is another pertinent question to be asked on the above defense. Why would this God also create living crocodiles of a line that still exist nearly unchanged? None of the large dinosaur of fossil fame exists.
I know that those of the Bible accept, and, in some cases cherish parables. Why can they not accept that the Genesis Creation is a parable for consumption of a people much less learned and advanced than those of today?

One Big, Bad Croc
Scientist Discovers Largest Fossil of Ancient Crocodile

Paul Recer The Associated Press

W A S H I N G T O N, Oct. 25 — A crocodile longer than a school bus and weighing about 10 tons (9 metric tons) was the top predator in an African river 110 million years ago, routinely dining on large dinosaurs that came within range of its toothy jaws.

You are not addressing my theory so all your Bible and other quotes just make you appear to be without thought.

evolution rules. creationism drools. Christians wish they had the evidence that atheists have. Lots of evidence but they ignore it. Maybe cause christians are the monkeys we evolved from?????

Crocodiles live in muddy environments which is naturally much more likely to result in fossils, thus preserving their remains.

Transition forms are rare because evolution does not happen evenly. Evolution is the survival response to enviornmental pressures. When the enviornmental pressure is great, evolution is accelerated, until the animal comfortably survives in the enviornment again, and evolutionary change becomes gradual again. For example, if things suddenly got really tough, and all of humanity died out except for 10,000 of us who are better able to deal with the new reality, you bet our evolution would speed up. A hypothesis is the rapid cycle of ice age and global warming in the last 100,000 years is what accelerated human evolution. And during these time of great environmental stress on the species, the population will have plummeted, possible approaching extinction, so of course the fossil record will seem to evaporate.

did you realize that some years in the past a curious cranium became into placed and from the unusual dimensions of the cranium it became into believed to be the keeps to be of Cyclops? It wasn't till plenty later that allegedly extra enlightened adult adult males appeared on the cranium and found out it became into basically an elephant's cranium. the hollow on the middle became into for a trunk, no longer a watch. The crocodile would or won't have existed and would or won't be some evidence of evolution. if actuality be told we human beings have been stunningly incorrect some great deal extra advantageous than we are becoming to be precise. Even the flaws we predict of we've been given precise we in many situations discover out have been incorrect later. The Earth was the middle of creation, then the universe, then the galaxy, then the photograph voltaic gadget. Now we are a pathetic tiny planet in a dismally small photograph voltaic gadget on a distant arm of a third value galaxy in a unremarkable spot in the universe which could be one in all a limiteless type of universes. What we predict of all of us understand, what we would want to think of all of us understand, and what all of us understand are 3 very countless issues. So perhaps your reptile is surely a marvel of evolution, or he could be a foul comedian tale left in the back of via some extraterrestrial pranksters. the two one makes the comparable experience and the two one is basically as impossible to coach with our constrained applications.

I'm not sure that I totally understand the question, but the fact that animals were larger a while back supports creation. Tell me, why would our surroundings have grown smaller. Bigger is better. I mean why in the world would all of the big beasts die? Like the dinosaurs? Why would such a big race of creatures die? U stated yourself that they were the big predators. So how did they evolve and why? Wouldn't it have been better to stay that way?

Also, I do not trust most dating methods. Since they all seem to mess up on things that happen recently.

it states in genesis 1:1 that God created the heaven and the earth. in genesis 1:2 it states that darkness covered the deep and the earth was without form and void.
satan and his angels that fell from their 1 st estate caused this judgement. i don't know how many millions of years existed between these 2 scriptures but i do know in genesis 1:3 that the spirit of God over came this obscuration that kept the sun from shining and melted the ice known as the ice age and parted the waters from the 1st deluge satan caused. noah's day was the 2nd flood. Genesis 1:3 is when time dropped down from eternity and there everything in the earth was created in six days with God or 6000 years and he rested 1000 and now it has been another 6000 years since.

Terry,
First you have to believe in the Carbon Dating process. Since it is not accurate at all your large croc is at most 6000 years old since the earth was created then as were all of creation in Genesis 1. Have a great day with the rest of us. Grab a Bible and begin reading. It will do you good!
Thanks,
Eds

There is plenty of evidence AGAINST EVOLUTION:.
First, the 'Cambrian explosion'...... the millions of fossil types in Cambrian rock (oldest fossil bearing rocks) appear suddenly and fully formed and without any previous forms...IOW, there are no transitional forms.

Most well educated evolutionists, when forced to, will admit it, but very unwillingly, and even then they always want to seem to make new excuses for it. Usually they just don't say anything about it and hope noone finds out.
....
It is amazing to me that those who push evolution theory so vehemently don't even know what most evolutionary scientists have said about the fossil record....

Even Charles Darwin was honest when he confesses in 'Origin of Species'; " But as by THIS THEORY innumerable transitional forms must have existed, why do we NOT find them embedded in countless numbers in the crust of the earth?" -Charles Darwin

To the above fact, even the most world renown (evolutionary) biologists agree...." New species almost always appear suddenly in the fossil record with NO intermediate links to ancestors in older rocks in the same region. The fossil record with its abrupt transitions OFFERS NO SUPPORT for gradual change". - Stephen J. Gould (Natural History , June, 1977, p.22)

"The extreme rarity (of transitional forms) in the fossil record persists as the 'trade secret' of palentology. The evolutionary tree (diagarms) that adorn our textbooks is.....NOT the evidence of fossils". - Stephen Gould (Natural History, 1977, vol.86, p.13)

The thing to remember is that evolution is still just a theory - a hypothesis, a speculation, an unproven assumption, and certainly is NOT supported by the fossil record.

According to Scripture NOTHING evolved but everything was created "AFTER THEIR KIND"....which is directly consistent with the fossil record.
