Let say, creationists are true, evolution is false. If that is so, then you're saying all the creatures on Earth today was still around millions of years ago.

If that is so, then why isn't there a 300 million year old panda fossil?

or a 450 million year old Llama fossil?

or how about a 500 million year old koala fossil?

Most creationists would say that everything was created in the last 10K years or so.

I am not an extreme creationist, but the flaw in your premise is that just because a fossil hasn't been found, doesn't mean it didn't exist. As you know many fossils are fragments. The only thing the fossil record proves beyond doubt is that this planet has experienced an extinction of species. That does not prove evolution, although I believe that species do evolve. The question becomes at what point did our Father in Heaven begin the temporal world that we are part of. The answer is with Adam and Eve, but they certainly were not the first creatures to walk upright. We know this from the fossil record. They were however the beginning of our spiritual lineage in this world. We know this from the Bible.

You won't believe me if I told you, so why bother? OK, I'll tell anyway. Fossils all come from the global flood and scientists just have the dating wrong. Sharks and other sea creatures would have feasted on the floating carcesses of the dead, sharks, especially very large ones, could swallow smaller animals whole, like pandas, koalas, etc. larger animals they would have torn apart and swallowed smaller pieces with bones, what they couldn't eat, larger bones, would have sank, very large creatures such as some dinosaurs would have sank and quickly been covered with silt and mud, earth, stones and rocks. Some smaller creatures over land masses that would later drain off allowed some smaller creatures to be covered to fossilize. And that is also why they find marine fossils on the tops of mountains. We of course can't find anything on the oceans' floor or other extremely deep waters. We would propably be surprised at what is down there covered up.

i think of human beings making this declare don't comprehend the ideas. They in all probability don't comprehend that no rely how great they attempt to make all of it right into a closed gadget it would not artwork till the finished universe is that gadget (And it incredibly is conceivable that the universe isn't a closed gadget, yet that's neither right here nor there). additionally, from what I even have considered of those claims they don't look to comprehend that an averaged circulate in the direction of entropy is what's defined and not that each little thing interior the gadget is going to seem to go in the direction of entropy. notwithstanding if there are sections interior a closed gadget that have the visual charm of heading off entropy they're going to nonetheless finally decline because of fact the finished gadget strikes in the direction of entropy. it incredibly is an averaging out of the degree of entropy in all issues interior the gadget that make certain entropy. Edit to coach on particularly some the strange responses: No countless source ingredients the solar, we are able to even assume whilst it is going to burn out its furnish. once you ignite a log does it not proceed to burn for a era? the finished log isn't fed on via flames in an instantaneous, so why then might desire to the solar be? all the gasoline interior the solar would not "burn" at as quickly as. it incredibly is endured nuclear fusion, the gasoline burns at a cost which may be calculated and this occurs because of fact of particularly some issues. no one says the solar brought about spontaneous eruption of existence. Evolution additionally would not manage spontaneous eruption of existence (heavily, it would not), it deals with adjustments in existence varieties over the years. existence might desire to first exist earlier evolution may be utilized. What issues like the solar actually do is supply exterior enter of skill, which via definition keeps the earth from being a closed gadget. If the Earth isn't a closed gadget then the arguments against evolution per entropy are moot because of fact the guidelines governing entropy can basically be utilized to a closed gadget (i'm able to truly nonetheless supply valid arguments against those entropy arguments notwithstanding if Earth grew to become right into a closed gadget, yet there is not any want because of fact that's not).

Who's to say they didnt? Fossils had to be discovered. All fossils may not have been discovered yet.

Better yet, why are there no fossils in the ocean?

Simply because creationism is BS for the simple minded. Only a fool would believe that everything was made by an imaginary sky fairy.

Atheism. You know it makes sense.

Wow, you mean fossils come with little name tags that say "Hi! I am 5 billion years old!"

That's GREAT! That should really take a lot of the mathematical guesswork out of science now, huh?

Creationists will just say the dating methods are faulty. They don't know what they are talking about of course. Any science that proves them wrong, they will say is "faulty". Once again, they don't know what they are talking about.
