From Iago: "Hey Ray,
For the same reason that a thief can't find the cell phone in his poket to call 911.

It's taken me a good five minutes to decipher this, but I think he's claiming that scientists have found these fossils, they're just lying about them. He believes that a scientist reporting these findings would be like a thief calling 911 to report his own crimes. If I'm right, we seem to have a dual Fundie and Conspiracy Theorist here. Not that surprising, considering the source, but I can actually HEAR the bottom of the barrel being scraped at this point.
Because he forgot it at home?
Because he dropped it on his way over?
Where are the chicken fossils again?
I'm assuming he means it's because scientists don't want to find them, much like the thief who doesn't want to turn himself in.
It's still "WTF" worthy, though - the presupposition is blatantly false.
As usual,
According to creationists the fossil layers were laid down by Noah's flood, and the heavy dinos fell to the bottom, ah fuck that doesn't make sense either.
Most rational people know the real reason.
If the universe was created by a giant man with a long white beard who lives on clouds, why can't anyone find him?

Fixed.
hahahahaha
what a dumbass
Josh Baby, you are now the poster child for what it means to be a stupid, clueless fundy.
I suspect that Mr. Black actually thinks he has made a good point. There is a certain level of dumb that can't be dealt with.
That is actually a real saying, but he butchered it beyond recognition, the original one goes more or less like this:
X can't find Y for the same reason a criminal can't find the police.
i.e. because s/he is deliberately avoiding it.
I'm not sure I understand. Is this guy saying that scientists actually HAVE found fossil evidence of dinosaurs and chickens, domestic cats and dinosaurs and humans and trilobites etc. co-existing. But the scientists are part of a huge conspiracy so they cover up the evidence?
Or is he saying that even if the scientists can clearly see the evidence that refutes evolution, but they are too damn stupid to understand what it means?
Could someone clarify?
Larty:
I think it's the first one.
Fundies cover up any facts that contradict their beliefs, and they are unable to understand the concept of not doing this, so they think scientists also do it.
That's right! We can't find fossils of every animal in the same rock layers as dinosaurs because we don't want to find them! Those evil scientists want to reject Jesus, so they can continue to lead their immoral, heathen lives! Because if they just came to Jesus, they obviously would never be as sexually promiscuous, and violent as they clearly are without God. I mean, it's common sense...
I know ... he's trying to make a point ...
Son of Nonymous, is that what he's trying to say? The way I read it, it appears that he's suggesting that the dinosaurs ate all of the chickens, which is why we can't find chicken fossils and dinosaur fossils side by side.

I'm pretty sure Comfort is one of those creationist that claim the scientific world is hiding evidence so you might be right about his intent. That and years of reading the Bibles double talk and incomplete conclusions has screwed up Rays ability in comprehensive English structure. It's not the first unappropriate and vague thing I've seen Ray expound
Or, in other words: the same reason you're not yet in a straightjacket.
Btw Josh, why did the chicken cross the road?
@ ecoline
Uh . . . to get better reception?
No, no - I know this one; to hold his pants up!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
