Peanut Gallery - What variety of creationist is Buzsaw? (Minnemooseus and Buzsaw)

This is one of the all time stupidest things that creationists say, mostly because it is so far removed from reality. Buz has been in this game long enough to know better than dumb stuff like this. Let's take a look at the evidence shall we? Just for the record Buz, fish are considerably more mobile than corals. The stupid idea that nimble creatures are higher in the fossil record than immobile ones really is the height of creationist ignorance. Only someone who knew absolutely nothing about the fossil record could make a claim this wrong. For someone like Buz, who has been having this kind of discussion for years, it really amounts to utterly shameful ignorance to the point of deliberate refusal to learn.Mutate and Survive

Hi Buz, Okay fine. Let's just assume that's true.Your original statement was; {Bolding mine.}The corals in my examples were all stationary organisms. The fish were mobile. Despite this, there are fish in all of the different periods, even though the younger periods are higher in the geologic column. That is a direct contradiction of what you predicted.Want a terrestrial example? Look at the plants in this table; Look at how the flowering plants seem to have managed the same trick as your agile creatures. They only appear in the higher strata. They raced to the high ground as well! They move pretty quick for vegetables!Of course they don't, they are in the higher strata because they evolved more recently and the higher strata are more recent. Why else should we only find flowers in rocks that are higher than Jurassic strata? Why else would we only find pines in rocks that overlay Mississippian strata? Why should ginkos be any better at getting away from floods than club mosses?And why do we see overlapping environments, with marine layers and terrestrial layers alternating, as at the Grand Canyon? No. Frankly it is an explanation so astonishingly naive that it sounds like the answer a child would give.Your prediction, with faster animals near the top of the geologic column, simply isn't what we see. Instead we see many complex layers of alternating environments, each with biota suited to that environment. We don't see some naive pattern of more agile animals toward the top of the column. It just isn't there outside of creationist fantasies. There's no need to appeal to specific dates, we can just use relative dating. The young corals appear higher in the column than the older fish fossils. The flowering plants can't escape a flood any better than any other plant, but they only appear in the higher part of the column relative to horsetails or club mosses. Your prediction is falsified.Mutate and SurviveEdited by Granny Magda, : No reason given.
