I think BioLogos folks sometimes take the long way around some of these geological findings:
A stratigraphied analysis of fossils show that dinosaurs and large mammals died quite separately, with no co-mingling.
For those YECs who think fossils represent 5000 years of life/death, it still shows large mammals (horses, elephants, giraffes, rhino’s, hippo’s etc) living and dying in the recent years with no indication of how they could have existed at all while dinosaurs existed.
The same dramatic oddities are seen when comparing marine dinosaurs to marine mammals.
And the same dramatic oddities are seen when comparing marsupials in Australia to the placental mammals everywhere else.
These stratigraphied sets of evidence irrefutably resist any explanation a Creationist can offer (with or without a global flood or a sequence of regional floods).
*************
Naturally, YEC opponents will offer apologia for each of the four separate observations.
But I have yet to find a convincing discussion that explains all four (4) data sets all together!
Thats because you dont bother to read the counter argument…your claims above arent at all problemwtic and habe been adequitely explained so many times and yet you still try to rehash this anyway.
The point is, this…have you ever found a snake in New Zealand? No and why…because there arent any native snakes in New Zealand so finding one in the wild would be rare in that country…i could cite the Tasmanian Devil in Australia as another example…theres hundreds more we could use.
My point to those simple minded enough to come up with such tripe is this…
In 5 million years time, when some imbocile comes out and says that the new Zeland Kiwi fossils are not found alongside the snakes that are currently kept at the Repitle Park at Ti Point Leigh New Zealand, or indeed in the same strata layers conclduing therefore they must have existed at different times in history… hopefully at least one smart cookie will show those future birdbrains why your claim there is deeply deeply flawed!
Why would giant marine reptile fossils all be found below the KT horizon, but not a single cow, rhino or elephant?
The Nile Valley is a place of many fossils conventionally older than the emergence of large mammals…. and yet we find no dead Egyptians drowned along with these fossils?
Do you reject the Global Flood? Do you not believe that the Global Flood happened sometime around the 4th Dynasty of Egyptian history? Or maybe more recently?
You’ve introduced yourself (sort of) - - but you have not refuted any of my points.
