Modern Sunken Forests Discredit Fossilization Argument

Bill, I believe you are misrepresenting what YECs say. Any trees under water did NOT grow there. IOW they are under water either via our work or some catastrophe. What YECs say about these fossils is that there isn't any way that a tree was gradually buried by sediments while still in its original environment.

Of course such fossils are possible- we found them! What happens if a tree is half buried? If that tree dies it will rot (the part that is exposed) and that is what YECs are saying. If a lava flow buries a tree without burning it I would be impressed. If a mudslide buries it well that isn't gradual. There aren't many trees around sand dunes...The whole point is it takes rapid burial to have any chance of fossilization.
