Tony: One probing question that no one bothers to ask:
> 
> How did this animal/plant/organism get burried rapidly enough for it to be fossilized?-I'm not sure the fossilization process is fully understood. However the fossils exist and tell a story that looks like an evolutionary process.
> 
> Tony: Let me make something more clear for both you and DHW. I am not a young earth creationist. I don't particularly care if God created the Earth six thousand or four billion years ago. Which ever way he did it, I am sure he had good reason and I would love to understand what that reason is.-I didn't think you were a YEC. You are attempting to fit everything into the Bible. Well, I'll stick to four billion, but like you I'm sure God did it for His own reasons, just as I think He set up an evolutionary process for life under His guidance. -> Tony: What bothers me is that scientist ignore their own rules, logic, and discoveries in order to avoid painful, uncomfortable, or embarassing truths.

> That's pretty much it. Nothing else moves enough earth rapidly enough to completely bury an organism without first destorying it. -Like I said, fossilization is not completely understood, but fossils exist to tell a story. We've all seen them. On the Grand Canyon at Deer Falls, 200 feet above the river, there is a large rock, estimated at 200 million years old with obvious fossilized worm borings.-If God controlled all of creation He arranged for fossils in all forms and deposits as they are found by fossil hunters.- Our difference is one of perspective: I'll accept the scientific aging approaches. I know God did it. Like dhw I recognize the Bible is based on human authors and human thought. I don't think humans can read the mind of God.
